Pineapple Upside Down Cake

July 8, 2013 by Sheila | A B & Me Leave a Comment

I finally did some baking after a long break. My last post really got me worked up! I started with a simple recipe that I have not tried … ever.  Before anything else, I bought myself a new oven thermometer because just as I expected, the built in thermometer in my oven is busted.  I…

I’m a Baking Mama

July 4, 2013 by Sheila | A B & Me Leave a Comment

I’m a baking mama.   I love to cook and bake. I don’t have any formal training though. I just leaf through cook books and online recipes. Years ago, I made extra bucks by baking made to order cakes. Nothing fancy but good enough to give away as a present. It did not last long because…

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. 

What do you think: YOLO or YODO?
