February 26, 2015 by Sheila | A B & Me 1 Comment

An Afternoon at the White Room Spa

February 24, 2015 by Sheila | A B & Me 10 Comments

I’m fried. My brain is fried. It has been this way for quite some time now. I’m always exhausted, and sluggish. I can’t make myself move to exercise or to do anything actually. I’m like a robot nowadays. I wake up, do my morning rituals and go to work. Work then go home to eat,…

September 9, 2014 by Sheila | A B & Me 2 Comments

Once upon a time, I made a Diaper Cake. It wasn’t the best looking diaper cake in town but I had fun making it.  Don’t confuse diaper cake with an actual cake because obviously this one is made of diapers. A friend of mine actually said to me, “ewww!! why would you eat diapers?!!”  I…

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!

This post is just something I made to process that idea. What if we shifted from the YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE to YOU ONLY DIE ONCE? 

It’s not being a buzzkill. It’s about modeling self-control, delayed gratification, and faith in action—even when it’s not popular.
