Oh 2022, I thank you. Today is January 2, 2023 and I can't help but think about the past year. There was a lot of experiences, milestones and improvements that my family and I experienced. And I am just so grateful for 2022, and looking for more happiness, success and continuous good health and safety for this year.

As I look back on the past year, one new thing that my family did was Halloween. We don't really "celebrate" Halloween but we did go to a small Halloween party this year for the kids. It was a last minute thing so we didn't really prepare for it that much. Yet, I have to pat myself on the back for pulling their makeup and costumes off. :)

For his makeup, I let my husband do it. Good thing I had white lipstick! That's what we used for his face makeup. Then H used black eyeshadow and eye liner for the black parts of his face. We really wanted him to look more of a boyish skeleton rather than what we did for Robyn before, when we painted her face with flowers. Haha!

I made sure to put very simple makeup on her because she wasn't comfortable and just put some face jewels since she's already used to playing with stickers anyway. I also kept it minimal because I wanted people to see her pretty face.

Dates with the hubs is very sporadic, but we do grocery runs together. So I remember he told me to treat grocery runs as date days already. Haha! I love having alone times with my husband, away from the noise of the kids. We always have deep conversations about life, dreams, plans, anything. And I learn so much from him. I think that's one thing that made me fall in love with him. He is so wise. And even though it seems like we're so different and opposites from the outside, we have the same values and beliefs that just make "us" work. We are celebrating our 13th wedding anniversary this month and it's our 20th year together. Can you believe it?

 

As for me, I have good days and bad days. Most of my bad days are brought about by stress and exhaustion, nothing too serious. I learned to take it a day at a time because of the pandemic. There are so many things I want to do, but I just can't right now and I'm learning to be okay with it. Grace, I give myself grace. 

 

My me time is usually when I get to take a bath in peace every night. That's my alone time, and I truly treasure those times. I admit not every night is the same, some, I still have to move fast because the twins are calling me or someone still needs mom. But there are times I can spend a little bit more on myself and that's when I whip out my masks.

Ready to meet the Bobble?

From the creators of Jellytime, comes their newest pleasure toy, Bobble. The Bobble is designed with a bulbous head that comes with 10 different vibration frequencies. It is made with silicone-material, is Waterproof, USB chargeable and has a battery life of 50 minutes per charge.

Here are some FAQs that will help you enjoy the Bobble better.

If there's one thing I miss the most pre-pandemic, it's traveling. We are not big travelers, but we like to go to different places from time to time. And we enjoy learning about the place's food and culture. For years now, my husband and I agreed on eating local cuisine when we travel. 

In comes one of our favorite discoveries, Aling Lucing. We've stumbled upon this gem years ago and have gone back a few times already, everytime we are in Angeles, Pampanga.

We really love the sisig so much that even just a day after, we can't wait to go back again. Haha! I heard from some people that you can now buy frozen Aling Lucing sisig. I can't say if it tastes the same because I haven't tried it yet. If that's the case and it taste exactly the same, that would be such a winner! Imagine eating the best sisig at the comfort of your own home. :)
