Something For Jessica

Whenever Rafa see a plush or chocolates in supermarkets or mall, he would always ask me to buy it for Jessica. Obviously she is the love of his life right now. He was telling me that Jessica knows that she is his girlfriend but he admitted too that he hasn't told her yet his feelings. I know, it's confusing me too. But as far as I know Rafael said that he's not ready yet to tell that he loves her. Whew!!!he is just 5 for god sake! What more if he turns 13?! Oh well, as long as he's happy Luis and I don't worry :)

So these are the valentine gifts for Jessica tomorrow!!!

Valentine Treats

I love giving treats and I love making them too! This Valentines, Rafael's first V day here in Canada, I prepared some treats to share with his classmates :) I packed some pencils and heart boxes with pink and red jelly beans, took a photo of him holding a valentines greeting, asked my brother to edit them, printed them and attached to the treat bags :) Original plan was to give years to each of his 19 classmates, but my husband Luis told me that he might get teased if he'll give the same treats to his boy classmates. I got worried so I asked the little bit what he preferred. And I am impressed that he was able to make a decision not to give the same bags for the boys but instead we'll just give them valentine pencils :)

We also prepared chocolate treats for teacher Birch and of course we got a stuffed toy for his crush Jessica B. I asked Rafa if he's already ready to tell his feelings for her, and guess what he answered me?! He said "I'm not ready yet mom." hehehehe, I don't want to think that he's not a little boy anymore! He is growing so fast and tomorrow he'll give plush toy and chocolate to a girl.

This will be my 3rd valentines day here in Canada and this time I'll be spending it with my two kids! This is truly a special day for me and I am looking forward to our dinner tomorrow :)

Favorite Thing: Dishwasher Basket

Luis and I both agreed before that when Brielle turned one, we'll start using dishwasher to clean and wash her feeding bottles. That's why I got these baskets last week and so far we're not behind with having clean bottles anymore. I never thought that everything will be easier using dishwasher. As of the moment this is my favorite thing right now especially for Luis!!!

Brielle's BeeDay Party Preps

Brielle's party last Saturday was a success! I couldn't believe that it went just like what I planned. Of course it wouldn't be possible without the help of some friends and I am so grateful for that! It felt like home, having friends that you could depend on and treat you as a family is such a blessing.

I couldn't wait for the official photos from our official photographer Joan Fabia. For the meantime here are some photos of the birthday preps I did before the big day!

I'm A Little Bit Stressed Right Now

My title says it all. My job is seriously stressing me. And what I hate about it, is it's affecting me as a wife and mom to my kids. I think I need to look for another job, For everything's sake. Sigh.......

Pretty Cake for Brie

Just want to share the cake I bought for Brielle yesterday for her birthday :). I just got the small one since it's only us and Aubrey who'll share with it. I already ordered cupcakes and cake for her birthday celebration on the 21st!

Rafael's Electrical Talent

I was surprised when Rafael suddenly made his night light work. I tried to fix it, I swear, but all the while I thought I already need to change the bulb. But when I was folding his clothes, Rafael tried to work on it and now it's working!!! Hmmmm... He has some electrical talents hidden inside him. He was so proud of himself, and of course I am too!

My Princess Brielle is 1!

Happy Happy 1st Birthday to my little princess Brielle Louise! I love you so much my sweetheart. You make things a lot easier for me and daddy. You and your brother Rafael are our inspiration, joy and one of the reasons why we love this family so much. I fell so much in love with you. I'm looking at you right now teary eyed. I can't believe that it's already one year since you arrived into our lives. Someday you'll get to read this, and I hope you feel my love.
