A Bear, A Holiday, and a Coloring Book

July 18, 2015 by Sheila | A B & Me 2 Comments


 Hi guys!

I figured I’d post a quick update. I really thought I’d be able to catch up with all my pending blog posts about our US trip and some stay-cations. Guess what? I did nothing! Anyway, let me introduce you first to:

Galadriel the Bear.

This is Blake’s bear. A gift from her Tita Jack. She’s named Galadriel because Blake’s first name is Arwen — any Lord of the Rings fans out there? Anyway, we just call her “BEAR” at home. We’ve had her since 2012. She’s actually wrapped up somewhere in the storage when Doc Gelo introduced us to Gelo the Bear. I thought it would be nice to include Bear in our adventures. So, follow her in instagram! – Yes, she has her own account – Galadriel the Bear 🙂

A Holiday

As you know, it’s Eid Al Fitr so we are all on holidays. We’re currently in Abu Dhabi enjoying a relaxing long weekend. (Follow us on instagram to read snippets of our quick getaway)

A Coloring Book  

I recently joined the adult coloring bandwagon — and I mean this in the most wholesome way!

Some call it art therapy. Mindfulness exercises. I call it as it is, coloring.

It really is a stress reliever! I got Enchanted Forest: An Inky Quest & Coloring Book by Johanna Bashford but there are lots of adult coloring books around. I highly recommend this exercise to anyone who needs a little break.  

Have you tried adult coloring books? What are your favorites? Comment below!

Hey there! I’m a mom of two who loves to crochet. Balancing work and motherhood is crazy, but I handle it with love and humor. With my eldest entering her tween years, the chaos just got a whole lot more interesting!

I’m fueled by coffee and dream of working from home. When I need to chill, I turn to my trusty essential oils. They’re my secret weapon for staying sane in the madness.

Join me for mom life, crochet, and my journey to work from home and retire before life passes me by.

Hello!

Hey there!
We’re a Filipino family of four figuring things out in California after living in Dubai for years. This space is part blog, part memory box—where we share life lately, parenting wins and fails, travels, and everything in between.

Sometimes it’s deep, sometimes it’s funny, but it’s always honest. Thanks for hanging out with us!

Found this gem while sorting through my phone. Thi Found this gem while sorting through my phone. This was taken a couple of years ago, during the pandemic. I always thought it was funny… but when I showed it to Adam again, he finally told me who he was talking to. 😂

It moved me in a different way this time. Because honestly? We do this a lot. We call on God, and when He answers… we put Him on hold.

But Scripture reminds us:
“Then you will call on Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.” — Jeremiah 29:12

If we call, He answers. The question is—are we ready to listen? And when He calls us, are we willing to pick up?

“Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, ‘Whom shall I send?’ And I said, ‘Here am I. Send me.’” — Isaiah 6:8

Yes, God. Here I am.
