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.

Hobbies for mommies!!

I have found myself with some time to spear in between my baby's naps. You would think I'll be napping as well, but the truth is that I can't sleep during the day. So, what do I do? Besides looking for ways to help income not to stop coming in (which is no hobby but a necessity), I take pictures and read, and lately, the last one is like a lot! From baby develop to romance novelties. Is it bad to find
a hobby other than make you baby smile??? I don't think so, it gives me time to stop thinking about problems that we all have, and a break from routine.

Here somethings I particularly like, don't do all of them, but some are very relaxing and fulfilling :

• Read (Wattpad is a good application)
• Crafts
• Play with my baby and dogs
• Painting
• Sports, specially Volleyball
• Exercise, yoga will bring you to a relaxing mode, very difficult to achieve with an infant, but u can make time in between naps.
• Photography (Nature and people are my favorites)

 Among others, it depends on what u like to do.

The truth is, there are so many things u can do to make u life a lil bit happier. Chores and diappers and all resposibilities that comes to keep a household clean and debt free just give u headaches, and a distraction makes it easy to go away, at least for a couple of minutes.

Feliz Navidad/Año Nuevo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks to everyone that has taken their time to pass by and read my posts. 2013 has been a bless,the biggest one ever in our life, and we are just happy to start 2014 with hope, positivism, and ready to overcome any test our lord may send to us.

Enjoy the 2014 ride, is just beginning!!!!!!!!!!!!

So sad!! Not a way to die, to fast, to furious. RIP Paul Walker..

Holidays, or Holy Days????

What are really holidays these days??? All have come down to shopping and showing off the best of u closet. But is it really all about that???? I grew in a family where religion was resumed into going to church on Saturdays night, and, even we weren't as devoted as we were supposed to, one thing my mother made sure was for us to understand that Holidays are Holy Days, days that u have to give the true meaning of why they were being celebrated, specially if they are related to God. I went to the crucifixion recreation, I was even part of the cast at some point!! I was one of those kids that believed in Santa Claus and the three kings, tooth fairy, I used to put cookies and milk and some grass for the king's animal waiting for a Barbie that never came (I wasn't so bad of a kid, I promise, but I guess the did not have enough money to give all the wishes to every kid, ;), I threw my recent pulled teeth to the ceiling and ask for a new one back TO A MOUSE. I believed in all that and it was a very happy childhood, but, now that I have a daughter that probably will know how to use a computer by 4 or 6, who knows, and will know that all that is no true faster than I would wish, how can I make her childhood as naive as mine, so that she doesn't grow to fast on us??? I already started by reading her about baby Jesus and how he came to this word to save us. Is a step out of so many I hope to give to accomplish what a want, and that is the happiest childhood for my daughter. I just pray to God to guide us every step of the way and to teach her, out of our own personal experiences, the best. So yes, I celebrate Holy Days together with Holidays (I like to look good ;)... Happy belated Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas and Happy New year!!!!!!!!!!

Loosing weight after pregnancy journal.

So that you  have an idea: pre pregnancy weight was 130, gained 26 (156 total), 1 month after delivery my weight was 138, went down to 135, 4 and 1/2 mo after I'm 140. How did that happened??? No idea (I was eating lots of good things with no control whatsoever), but I'm going down!!!!! I started to move my behind today. I'll post pics but not today since I still feel very conscious about my belly weight more than anything. I must say, Youtube has very good videos to exercise, this is the video I used today from +FitnessBlender  and since is been so long that I don't exercise I was dying but it felt good.. This specific routine requires lots of strength but littler equipment. Pray for me so I get to my goal of loosing 15 pound in at least 2 months. I know, I know!! Holidays and delicious food, but I'll try my best to behave.
