School is out!

July 3, 2018 by Sheila | A B & Me Leave a Comment

Heeeeyooo!

First of all, did you notice our new header?

Picking a name for this blog wasn’t easy. And I am not the most creative person in the world so … I figured I’d do a play on words. Blake was still a toddler and we were listening to a lot of Wheels on the bus and ABC’s back then. 

So it was decided, A B and Me.

Get it? A B and C — A B and Me? Now, what does it stand for??? That was another hard question. Initially, it was Alvin, Blake and Me (Sheila) because I was the only one handling the blog. Also, there was just the three of us back then. Alvin started blogging as well so that was perfect!

But now Adam is here. What happens to our blog name? Well, we’re keeping it. The initials still work and the “me” part would be shared by me and Alvin depending on who’s writing the article. Let’s not complicate things. Hah!

School is Out!

So, school is out in our part of the world. Blake was so happy now that she doesn’t have to wake up early. She doesn’t like school very much. (But she did cry on her last day saying she’ll miss her teacher. What do I do with this girl?)

Anyhow, we are running out of activities around here. It’s too hot to be playing outside and we can’t go swimming every day for the next two months, right? 

Yesterday she “helped” me with some product shots. (I am no photographer, I just use the auto function on my camera. 😛 ) She was so into it that she told me she wants to be a “photo shooter” when she grows up. 

Here are some of her photos. Not bad huh?

School-is-out01

This kept her occupied for about full 30 minutes. After that, it was back to the iPad. I’m all out. 

What other activities do you recommend? Help a mama out, will you?

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!

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.
