June is normally one of the busiest and the most expensive month for me. Our calendar is filled with birthdays and meetings. Literally, our friends and family compete for the weekend schedule for their parties. Not to mention the baby showers and bridal showers! It’s that crazy! However, despite having so many birthdays to celebrate during the month of June, there are 2 dates that are very important to me. It's the 23rd and the 24th. Those are my Mom’s and my wife, Mrs. Balty

I have been asked a few times where I shop for the boys and usually, people get surprised when I tell them the stores I shop at – either they didn’t know that that store sells kids clothes or have never heard it before. I am going to share with you 2 of my favorite places to shop for my boys. I will tell you why I like them and some other stuff too. 1. H&M I have been shopping at H&M since I gave birth to Ethan (2011) and now I have Clay too, H&M has been a go to store

Hello family and friends! Here's a recap of our hot, like, 108° hot weekend. Okay, we are from the Philippines and my hubby and I are used to the hot weather, but for some reason this feels different. How was the weather where you're at? {OOTD - Cardi, Top, Jeans Similar, Sandals} Our Saturday started with pancakes for breakfast and our regular routine (which I will post sometime soon). In the afternoon we headed to Yuna (12) and Yuan’s (5) pool birthday party. They are our f

As an adult I learned that it's better to under-promise and over- deliver. This way, if you just met the minimum requirements to fulfill your promise, it makes you look real good. It's like shipping from Amazon or E- Bay. They say 2- day shipping and sometimes the item comes comes early and you end up in awe of their great customer service! You're one well satisfied customer. Sometimes I am also tempted to use that on my son Ethan. He's six years old and is like a mini adult.

Okay, where do I start? I guess I will start about 4 years ago when we introduced Ethan, then 2ish, to the movie Cars. He right away fell in love with the characters especially McQueen and Mater. We bought him the DVD and he would watch it multiply times a day. We bought the characters' die casts and all. Then came Cars 2. More characters - exciting story plot. He fell in love even more. We bought him the Blu ray of course and he became the biggest fan! We bought everything C

My big boy graduated from Kindergarten this week and I could not be more proud. I know, I know, it's kindergarten but I'm a mom! I am always proud of my kids' achievements - big or small. Here's a picture of Ethan on his first day and last day. Nothing changed much except he probably grew taller an inch or more. Today we measured his height and he is an inch shy of 4 feet! 4 feet! I told him soon he will be taller than me. See, that's what I always keep in mind - that time fl

We had a fantastic weekend you guys. Here's a documentation of what happened. Ethan's classmate - Cadely's birthday party. It was super cool because it was held at a 2K office where her dad works. There was a small theater like room where they showed a video presentation about Cadely. I was impressed. Here's a cute princess themed spread. Clay had an fun time too! Walking or should I say waddling around all the cool stuff in the building. Him learning how to walk reminds me t

There may be days you feel like you're a complete mess, I sure do! but on days like that I rest in this truth: Genesis 1:27 So God created human beings in his own image. In the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. I am made in the image of God and I AM BEAUTIFUL! and so are YOU. #Beautiful #Flowers #Pink #Peonies #Inspiration

Yesterday we had a day in the city and on the way home we got to stop by Baby and Child store by Restoration Hardware. Going into the store gives me feelings of happiness. Although it would take a while before we even consider having another baby, seeing the decor makes me want to have a baby girl NOW! I took some pictures for your inspiration. Enjoy! #Nursery #Inspiration #Blush #PinkRoom #BabyGirl
