mommy moments: dear daddy

mommy moments

dear daddy,
i know that you are busy most of the time, having to work hard so i can continue to stay at home and look after our son. i appreciate all your efforts and i probably don’t tell you often, but thank you for providing for us. we only hope we could spend more time with you…. and i must tell you, cause you ask me all the time, a lot of people are saying jared looks a lot more like you than me, + i concede☺!

we love you!

gt: life’s resolution

i’ve made resolutions year after year, i’ve realized some and time and again broken quite a number of ’em too. i’ve written quite a few posts on it as well, in several blog memes i have joined. 
for this year i would like to basically live my life to the fullest, i want to stop and smell the flowers, enjoy every minute and every second that i am alive. take life as it is, celebrate it and revel in it. life is way too short and at the last stop of my journey i do not want to look back with way too many regrets thinking i should’ve read this book or tried learning how to scuba dive, or went to this place or that, or told my son i love him often enough. i would like that attitude to rub unto my son too, it will be my ultimate fulfillment as a mother to know that my child lives his life to the fullest.
specifically, i’d love to go out much and enjoy the sun. by going out i don’t necessarily mean going to the mall or any place in particular (although i’d love to do that too!), taking a morning stroll with my son around the neighborhood will suffice. he marvels at the simple things: the bird flying by, the puppy running down the road, or the kids at play two doors down, and his favorite, the butterfly fluttering by.
i would also love to go back to my pre-motherhood passion, yoga (i used to do it on my own, learning from videos and the book, power yoga for dummies, but if given the chance i would love to attend this class 20 minutes away from our place)+ reading (i still read sometimes but not regularly, only when jared is taking a nap or playing on his own in his crib, and when i am not busy tinkering stuffs online!).
lastly, i would definitely like to finish all my unfinished tasks from last year, especially my son’s first year scrapbook, so i can move on to my next project (like planning my baby’s second birthday!yay!) 
so here’s to an exciting 2011! cross our fingers for all our resolutions!
