You’re still Mommy …

January 28, 2015 by Sheila | A B & Me 4 Comments

Hello again!

I’m just taking a quick breather from work so this will be just a short post. 🙂 Can I just say … I miss Blake. I miss talking to her during the day. When I’m still “fresh” and well rested. LOL. I can’t keep up with her most of the time! She is very active (which means I have to be active!! I need a dedicated post for this topic) and she talks a lot.

Sometimes I’m surprised at the words she says. I listen to her and think .. where’s my baby?? I see my daughter, my darling baby girl, BUT she’s no longer the tiny human that I used to carry and breastfeed. She’s now a semi tiny human. LOL. I just can’t believe that we now converse in proper sentences. I’m amazed and delighted and scared all at the same time. She’s growing up. (I’m getting old … !!!)

But everyday I am reminded that even though she’s growing up, she’s still my baby. Because even though she has her bed to sleep on, she still prefers to sleep beside me, her head resting on my arm.

“Blakey, why are you sleeping on me? I’m not a bed!“, I said one morning when I woke up with my arms cramping.

“Yes, you are not a bed. But you’re still Mommy“, she replied sleepily.

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.

    I’m not a mommy myself but that’s very sweet. I think these are the days that you really have to take time to spend with your kiddo before she’s too old for cuddles. :p

      I know right!? Sometimes I’m just too tired and get grumpy easily.
      I have to learn from B how to love unconditionally. 🙂

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.
