Goodbye Crafts by Momaye, Hello New Blog!

Yes, I will say goodbye to my craft blog, Crafts by Momaye. It's a hard decision I have to make because it's something that I really love to do.  But the great news is that we have new blog. Yes, WE. Daddy and I agreed to buy another domain (.info) and start a new blog. Well, it's not actually a new blog. For it will be a 3-in-1 blog: crafts, food/recipe, and photography.

Photostory: Missing My Little One

Hello Momsies! How are you? Are you also excited for the super long weekend? Me, I am so excited because Matt is already in Nueva Ecija and I missed him already. Actually, he just left with my brother, mother and his yaya yesterday. But I super missed him already. This is the first time, in his 3 years of life, that he slept without Mommy. And my mother in law said, he didn't cry or nakaalala sa amin. Hay... Time flies so fast, pwede na sya pakawalan.  Who can not missed this cute boy? Enjoy the rest of your day =...

The 10 Commandments of a Happy Marriage: 1. Prioritize Your Spouse First

When I became a mother, I have to admit that my world revolves around my son. What I am always concern about is his goodness and well-being. I work hard and be a good mom for him. In short, I prioritize my son over everything, next to God. Like most new parents, when we became a mother or a father, we are overjoyed with the presence of a new being. A beautiful child will always make us happy right? We always say that they can easily take our stress away. We tend to make our world revolve around them. But what about our marriage? Did you know that when we prioritize our children over marriage, we are hurting both your marriage and your children? I didn't know that. My intention is all good, that is to become the best mother but I didn't know that because I always aim to become the best mother, I am forgetting that I need to be a wife too. What I forgot about is before I became a mother, I am a wife first. And yes, I have neglected my husband most of the times. Unconsciously, he...

Photostory: Garfield Boy

Momsies with boys, how do you usually dress your little one? In my case kasi, Matt usually wears t-shirt/polo shirt and shorts/pants when we go out, and sando and shorts when at home.  They said when you have a boy it's much easier to dress him up. Yes, because like what I have said a shirt and a shorts/pants will do. But the difficulty comes when buying clothes na because of the limited designs and the much higher price. Thank God, most of Matt's clothes are gift. I really...

One Fine Sunday with My Family

Happy Tuesday! O Tuesday na no, ang bilis na naman ng araw. Ako, I'm looking forward to the long weekend and the other very very long weekend sa Undas (November 1 and 2 are holidays). We will go home to our province to visit my Tatay.  Anyway, action packed ang weekend namin and it's so rare na nowadays na talagang lumalabas kami ng matagal. That is because we have deadlines to meet. But I don't know what's with me that I have this urge to go out and have fun. So Saturday we went to SM Marilao mall-wide sale and on Sunday naman we went to Divine Mercy Shrine, just a few minutes drive from our home sweet home. To know how to get there click here. We chose to go there for the 3:30 afternoon mass. As usual, super dami ng tao and most came from Manila and other close provinces pa like Pampanga. I didn't got the chance to take photos during the mass but here are the photos I got after the mass. Divine Mercy Shrin...

SM Sale Loot

Hello Momsies! How's your weekend? Ang daming sale ano? Which means Christmas is fast approaching na. You know what after so many mall sales that we have let passed, we finally went to SM Marilao mall-wide sale last Saturday. Actually the sale started last Friday pa and until yesterday. Supposedly we will go on Sunday but I told Daddy for sure super dami na ng tao by that day and pahirapan na ang parking plus traffic pa. So last Saturday off we went. To make our life easier at the mall, we brought Matt's umbrella stroller. ...

My Happiness

Life is never perfect. But I believe life is good... The other night, I was thinking of closing this blog and just change it to a pure craft site. No more personal posts about my life, my family. It will be more of crafts, crochet and our little business. The next day I open this blog and browse through the post I wrote. A big part of me is arguing to my idea last night. Why do I need to change this blog? The posts I write my not be too interesting for most of you. It may bore...

Truth Hurts :(

source Sometimes, we are left with no choice. Sometimes, we wish not to know the truth and stay happy. Not knowing the truth can spare our hearts from broken. But living in a great lie is like living in darkness. Lies... doubts... it can ruin a relationship and destroy a beautiful life.... Will you dare to know the truth even if it means your life will never be the same again? How many lies can a person can do? How can you ever trust a person you thought you know but in end becomes a stranger to you? How can you fix a broken glass without seeing those ugly cracks...

My Losing Weight Woes

I have already told you that I have started doing a workout exercise for at least 10 minutes a day. I am also into a little weight lifting (dumbbell workout). This time I am very determined to lose weight and be healthy. Want to know why? If Daddy Allan lost about 3 kilos of his body weight from his recent APE result, well I am so ashamed to announce that I gained over 3 kilos. Yeah, 3 kilos over a year and that makes me over... Oh, I prefer not to write it unless I have lost it already. Soon, I promise! sourc...

He's a Baby No More

Yes Holiday!!! Would you believe I am blogging from home? Usually kasi talaga I am blogging from work during break time or early in the morning before I start doing my work. It's so rare that I write from home kasi natatamad ako gumamit ng laptop. Hehe... Anyways, holiday pero maaga pa din kami nagising. Daddy Allan hurriedly woke up because of the alarm then biglang higa. Sabi nya wala pala pasok, hehe. Ayun he's doing his morning exercise. Ako naman eto updating my blog, hehe... Medyo hinay-hinay muna ako sa workout since I got sick last Saturday. Namalengke kasi kami nun Friday e it was raining ayun siguro halo halo na. Thankfully, I recovered quickly because of the yakap-sule and kiss-pirin from Daddy and Matt. Looking for Matt? He's still sleeping. I am so sure nag-iipon sya ng energy para mangulit all day. and just want to share his recent photos taken by Daddy Allan and edited my me =) Matt and the swing He got a new haircut and talagang pahirapan yan lagi.

Hello Monday + Positive Vibes!

Hello Momsies! How's your weekend? Ours was stressful because of typhoon Santi. It had hit Central Luzon particularly Nueva Ecija, Bulacan and Tarlac.  It was Friday night when Nueva Ecija and Bulacan also were placed at Signal No. 3 warning. The wind was blowing hard and so was the rain. We slept earlier and prayed that the storm will stop soon. I woke up at around 11 in the evening with no electricity. The wind and rain was still blowing and pouring hard. Saturday morning,...

The week that was, but not yet over...

Hello Momsies! After days of being missing in action, I finally have time to make a post. I have been into many things since weekend that's why I can't find time to blog.

So may sinat na sya. Since I was praning I already gave him Dolan, then we slept. I woke up with someones light shaky kick...

I am Finally into Exercising

You read the title right Momsies! After all my excuses, I finally started to do something healthy for my body. A week ago, I have started doing at least a 10-minute exercise everyday. It was not an intense exercise but it's something that I happy about at this moment. I have told you that we cut down carbohydrates intake already though once in awhile we cheat, hehe. I just notice, my tummy area is a little saggy as evidence of decrease in rice intake, yey! So I need to tone it down. I started with sit ups and leg lifting, and then because Daddy's so serious about his dumbbell workout, I tried it too. I am doing 3 sets of  overhead curl using a 10-lb dumbbell.  sourc...

Homeschooling: Write and Wipe

Hi Momsies! Uy October 1 na, ang bilis no. How many days na lang it's Christmas na! Excited much lang po, hehe. Anyway, we have a new yaya na. She's young but my mother in law said that she's sanay na and I'm praying that she'll stay long with us. She's shy pa but I know eventually she will get used to us din. But in case she will not stay that long, Daddy and I already talked and discussed about our plan B. That I will tell you soon but like what I have said we are hopeful that she'll stay longer with us. Mabait naman kami e =) Now, let me talk about our homeschooling. This will be just a once a week update. Last week, I have told you that our homeschooling activity includes both writing and reading.
