Hello ppol, it has been a While!!

Well, it is refreshing to start a new post after so many years. A lot had happened since my last post in 2015:

• Obama is out and Trump is in (with all the drama that came along with it).
• Massive murders in clubs, concerts, schools, train stations ( these are very sad events that left a bitter taste on all of us and wondering about what's missing on our society).
• Venezuelan dictator, Nicolas Maduro, refuses to give their people what they need: food, medicine and freedom.
• One direction went into different directions.
• Korean boys BTS is the new it musical group 
• Trends coming in and out.
• Iphones being changed like if is underwear.
• Amazon and Uber taking over the whole nation.
• Cardi B becoming a "role model" for our youth.

So much that it is impossible to mention, right? The only thing I'm certain is that, for those that were, or became parents, the roller coaster is really bumpy and full of curves.

I'll give me, my husband and my 5 years old as an example. I remember the day she was born like it was yesterday, so little and fragile in my arms.Throughout the years, she has grown into a young, sassy, fashionable, dance and gym lover lil girl who is into Ryan (¿the one that reviews toys?) and electronics.

Every day she comes home with so many stories about her adventures at school: How the school checked everyone for lice, her tooth being loose, that mean boy that keeps bothering her and why she can't yell back at him, the stomach virus that makes her throw up...  ¿Did I mentioned that she already asked about boys and girls having different private parts? You can not help it but to laugh (inside laugh so you don't hurt her feelings) and look in your brain for a logic explanation of all of these new events and curiosity in her life. But as challenging as it is, we are loving every second of it and trying to provide the best advices and guidance we can in an era when pao pao, spank and time out is consider child abuse, or defending yourself is bullying (God help us parents).

This post is, hopefully, the beginning of many more. I'm sharing some fun pictures of my daughter  fast forwarding this last 3 years. And if you want to see more of her ¿Guess what? You can follow her on instagram and Facebook: @lilmallythings.

The real deal, very first birthday of baby and mother.

Birthday is a celebration and, when is the first one of you lil bundle of joy, it must be celebrated double because you made it thought that first year as a mother without having a booklet on how to do things that are completely new for you, socongrats to us, new moms in the making.

14 weeks later...

Life must an inspiration itself. Making the best of it is what get us going every day.
14 weeks later an inspirational history.

It's a year!!!

Oh my... Already a year.
As I posted before, I was planing my lil one birthday and the day came and went in a blink of an eye. It was amazing to see how my lil girl enjoyed everything, from clowns to food to going from arms to arms. God bless u my lil angel, mommy and daddy love u!!
Here some pics

FIFA World Cup 2014, home made baby shirt...

Since i couldn't find a shirt, on time, for my Lil one, i decided to make one myself. All u need is a T-Shirt transfer paper, a printer with good ink, a shirt of u choice, scissors, and probably a computer to, either to design what u want or just print what u already have. Here is the result.

1st Year is here!!

Preparing for any occasion that matters to u is like a puzzle. U need to figure so many thing out that sometimes is over warming.
In this case, my baby's 1st birthday party.
What is suppose to be a fun simple party for kids to share with my baby, has become a kind of a nightmare since is not as small as u expect. Let's see the  to do list  on a budget:

-Cake
-Favors
-Decoration/theme
-Food (making sure they do not harm any moms kid that might be allergic to anything from fish to nuts, etc..)
-Dress (es)/ Outfit
-Space where is going to be celebrated (back yard, restaurant, park, club)
-Sitting
-Invitations (choosing who is coming is very important, the list might go on, but I decided to narrow it down to friends with kids)
-Activities/entertaintment (Games, clown, etc..)
-Piñata ( yes, it is very important there is one, is fun to rip it of)
-Buy supplies u might need besides food, like plates, spoons, cups, etc.
-Photos/videos!!! One of the most important things, since all the hard work of that day u want to enjoy for ever.

Who said preparing a 1st year old birthday party is not like preparing a wedding, ;-0

Make sure u start a couple of weeks before and figure how much u want to spend. Also starting ahead of time will give u space to do thing by yourself to help that budget.

Here a to do list with more details.


Next month is a birthday!!!!!

Second time is a charm????

I did not know that starting a new face in my live it was going to be such a beautiful ride. Motherhood.
Yes u don't sleep anymore, yes u only worry about that lil person and forget that u exist sometimes. But a smile, a new milestone conquered from that lil one makes it all worth it. So worth it to the point of thinking of having my second one ASAP. Lots of reason why. Lets see:

-Am already not sleeping, so if I wait that means longer years of no sleeping.
-House is already taken over by my sweetheart, so I might as well share it with someone that will enjoy as much as she does.
-They'll grow together, learning new things, fighting and smiling with someone next to u is more fun.
-Sure I'll not get the same amount of gifts for the second one, but the excitement is the same as the first, so yes, I'll make a baby shower for any of my babies just to celebrate their arrival.

So don't be surprise if my next post gives the good news.
