Daiso is Love

January 30, 2013 by Sheila | A B & Me 3 Comments

I think I might be developing another addiction. It started when I was browsing for kid friendly food to serve during my baby’s birthday. That’s when I saw cute lunch box arrangements (yes, bento). My brain immediately went haywire and started googling for more inspirations. 
 
At one point, I almost bought molds and nori punchers online. Good thing the other part of my brain is still working, otherwise I would have spent a lot of money for stuff that I won’t probably use. In the end, I bought cute sandwich and cookie cutters from Daiso. 
 
Fast forward. I am now hoarding crafting materials. HAH! I decided to buy a couple of decorative paper punch. I mean I can use it on paper and on nori, so that’s not so bad right? (That’s just me justifying my purchase)
Ribbons and fabric tape

 I went to Daiso in Safeer Sharjah yesterday and went crazy over their selection of crafting materials! I’m like a kid in Disneyland (and I haven’t even been to Disneyland… boo hoo!!). There were ribbons (lots of ribbons!), fabric tape, punchers…

punchers

I kept coming back to the crafting aisle. And every time, I would pick up something to put in my cart. (I even bought two punchers with the same design. pfft!).

Who wouldn’t love this:

From ordinary to fab! I love it. I can use this for personalized invites, gift tags… etc!

I also bought another transparent box for my crafting materials. I have another one that’s already full. So here’s my loot:

 
 
Don’t be surprised if I have another trip to Daiso after a few days!

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.

      Patheeee… Nakaka adik nga. I think Saizen and Daiso are the same? Anyhoo… wish ko kasing ganda ng penmanship mo ang sulat ko. Para namna justified gumawa ng personalized notes and cards. LOL!!

      Here, in terms of merchandise they’re not exactly the same. I’ve seen more cute, heart-stopping stuff in Saizen. Mas maraming laman ang basket ko doon hahaha.

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!

I’ve been thinking a lot about the whole “YOLO I’ve been thinking a lot about the whole “YOLO” mindset. It sounds fun — and sometimes it IS harmless. But when we let it guide our decisions without pause… it can turn into a habit of acting first, thinking later. 

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. 

What do you think: YOLO or YODO?

Ps. I shared more of the story behind this thought over on @threads if you’re curious (same handle!)

You’re really a hard habit to break.
