When Life Takes Over

October 7, 2015 by Sheila | A B & Me 2 Comments

Ohai!! I still can’t believe its October already. I feel so unproductive (blog-wise)!

Here’s a quick update, in bullet points — because that’s how it is for me right now. Everything in bullet points. *sigh*

Lake Zurich on a gloomy day
  • We went to Switzerland, I’m sure you’ve heard. (If not, then follow my Instagram and Facebook. I get to update those more regularly, especially Instagram!)
  • It was amazing! I have lots of stories and photos to share. Let me just arrange my thoughts and do some photo editing (more like, re-sizing and putting watermarks coz I do not know how to use Photoshop, lol!)
  • I still have a lot of stuff in my draft folders … the ones from our US trip and some staycation reviews. (mental note: I need to get those done!)

  • I won a contest from Weesha’s World and got some nice lingerie from TKD. I’ll post my experience soon (I hope sooner than later!!)
  • On health matters, I still can’t get the excess weight off. I have been eating the right food but the problem is that I don’t “move” as much I need to. The good thing about Switzerland is that I was able to hit my goal (10,000 steps/day) everyday! Now, if only I could do the same here. 
  • Blake started school. We had a very short adjustment phase (read: separation anxiety attacks) but we got over it quickly. YAY!
  • Someone at work resigned so it’s extra stressful. Work load adjustments and all. 
  • I got myself a calligraphy set. (not sure how I can fit this new hobby in my busy “schedule”, I’m not even done with my coloring phase!)

There’s a lot that I want to do but (real) life is taking over. I need to reassess myself and do something about this situation once and for all. Changes will happen, people. Watch out for it.

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.

    Hi Sheila, I feel you, same here! I seriously don’t know where to start… Too many things to do in so little time… I just day dream of doing the things that I need to do while I’m driving, in a meeting 🙂 or when I’m in the thrown (LOL)… But seriously, I have like a long list to be completed.

    I hope you can cope up with the stress and activities you’re doing now, I saw some of your Switzerland pictures, fab!

    GOD bless you!

      Hi Candice! Thanks for dropping by. We just need to take it one day at a time, I guess!
      Saw your photos too! Someday I’ll visit France, hopefully soon. 🙂

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!

Just a normal day with the fam. Sometimes the be Just a normal day with the fam. 

Sometimes the best memories aren’t from big adventures but from the simple moments—like game night in a cozy cabin, laughing until our stomachs hurt. We booked our Big Bear stay through @airbnb and @avantstay gave us the perfect backdrop for a weekend full of fun, comfort, and family time. Definitely one for the books.
