Hanalei for my foot

Crocs Hanalei (neutral/jade)
Love it! So light on my foot, feels like I am not wearing wedges.

"Thanks for my new Crocs Hanalei, babe", I told the hubby when my wedge sandals/shoes arrived in mail today. He said, "alright", again? I just gave him my cutest smile with tantalizing eyes. He laughed so hard and really gave his YES to refund my money that I used when I bought my shoes.

And tonight when he came home for a 30-minute-break, I told him that I want another pair but in color blue on payday. He didn't complain which means yes. Weeeeeeeee! I will have another pair of crocs Hanalei. So perfect for spring and summer. Another addition to my shoe collection, too.

Hey, before you think that I am spending much of my husband's money, I'd like to give you a head's up that it's not. I barely ask him to buy my clothes and accessories. He is not selfish but I know how to grasp situations. If it's not important, I never say a single word, though, he is so giving and gives me allowance every payday. Great enough to thank him for being him.

On my payday from paid blogging, I will be buying one more pair of crocs to be used in May, family vacation in the Philippines. It is hot there and the sandals that I am buying are so perfect. I did mention that I am no longer spending much because of the said vacation but here I am spend here and there. I just can't help myself everytime I see something that I like and been longing to have. Anyhow, I already have my own savings for the trip. It ain't a big deal.

Welcome, Spring

A day in the driveway with Dada while waiting for Mama. Look at her moody face, not perfectly alright. Her mama kept her waitin and she's so ready to hit the road.

It's the season after Winter, Spring, the most awaited time of the year. My 'lil one is deprived to be in the yard during cold season, and now that the weather is warming, Mama and Dada take her out for a walk and play either in the yard , driveway or road. She is loving the kisses of the sun on her skin along with the touch of the wind. And oh, she is so into flower picking. She smells it, though, it's scentless. When she sees the birds fly, she gets crazy and just can't get over it. My nature lover baby is just so appreciative.

Oh how nice the day is when the weather is great, not cold nor hot. Have to maximize this season before summer comes. You know how it is here in the South. Summer is a grill. The temperature reaches up to 105F or so with high humidity. Such a shame but there is none to do.

When mid summer hits, sure will coop in the house again like it's Winter. Oh well, just suck it up and time will just fly. Before we know it, it's Fall again.

Compelled in the kitchen

Becoming a mother taught me to be more responsible. If not because of the 'lil one who loves to eat and eat, I wouldn't be spending much time in my kitchen. Mind you that she doesn't eat sweets like cakes, pastries, candies, etc. Among her favorites are rice, sauce or stock from the meats (no meats in her plate), crushed vegies, yogurt, fruits and bread. Seldom she eats crackers and would barely tolerate juice(because it's sweet). I love the way my kid chooses her food. Pretty much, I see her future as a healthy kid.

I love cooking. Doing it enhances the cook in me. Oftentimes, I need no measuring tools, instead, I do estimates. I have become accustomed of how much is needed for a certain dish. In fairness, each food I cook and bake comes out perfect in texture and taste, that's according to hubby and my number one eater, lil one.

Below are result photos of the adventures I have in my kitchen...

Beef mami
Perfect for cold season

Humba or braised pork
Oftentimes prepared during special occasions in the Philippines.

Vanilla Chiffon cake
The best cake I've baked so far.

CHocolate cupcake
First attempt, success!


I bake cakes not because my family eats 'em. I just wanna try recipes in preparation for the future gatherings. At least I know now which recipe to prepare later.
