Hellerskie!!!

Today is Thanksgiving eve! So much to do so little time. 

We are hosting thanksgiving lunch/dinner again this year. I'm so so excited since we have a new home to host dinners. Last year we were at the old house. I love love our old house since there are so many memories in our first home but when it comes to hosting dinners/parties, our old house is little. Now since we moved to a bigger house, i think hosting is easier. I will be vlogging thanksgiving so i can film the memories. (hope i have time to film while cooking tomorrow)

There are so many things to be thankful for this year! Super blessed 2016. WORK and REWARD are my big words for this year!

I am thankful for everything that God gave us this year. Not everyday is a good day but most of the time its a great day!




I used to stress about small things, now i just take life one day at a time. If i want something, i work for it. If i dont like something, i make sure to change or improve things.

There are days i just reflect and realize how blessed I am to have a wonderful family. I tell my husband that I'm happy when we are happy (obvs). I'm happy when our kids are happy and healthy.

I share lots of fun vlogs, sad vlogs and so so vlogs in youtube these days to treasure all the memories we have as a family. I love to look back and re-watch clips that the kids did or how they react on things. These memories i treasure forever. I'm back blogging, i remember my first blog back in 2004, when i was still in college and trying to figure out life.

I hope blogger wont shutdown like multiply so i can continue to share what's in my brain and achieve memories.

I'am so thankful for everything about my life now. Cant wait to share more vlogs and blogs. I cant wait to see the kids reaction when they look back on these memories.

Happy Thanksgiving. Thank you for reading my blog. Enjoy your time with your family and friends!

love and light!

Hellerskie!!!!


First of all, thank you for all the birthday wishes. Life is great, i really appreciate the time you took to post a happy birthday in my wall, sent me twits, instagram and text/call messages! Thanks for all the gifts from fam and friends :)


Back in the day when I was still single, I was worried about how things will work out for me. I was too focus on my career and always think about stuff i cant control. I still remember the day when i was so worried turning 30 yrs old. Now i'm 31, i couldn't ask for anything else. I worry too much and if I can turn back time and tell myself not to worry about life, maybe i wont have so much wrinkles in my face haha jk

Before, i wish for so many things. Now my life goals are complete. Job that practices my college degree, cars that help us to all our transpo needs. My husband who is always there support me and listen to me. My kids who are my constant reminder that i'm so lucky to be called a mom.

At this point of time, my only wish is to make more memories with my family. Can't wait to travel again! :)

Life is amazing! Always remember that!

By the way, my giveaway is still open and i will post the winner of the new apple tv in two weeks! Good luck to everyone who joined!!!!

Hellerskie!!

Today is Alyza's 6th birthday. Until now I cant believe we have a kinder garden student, a princess, a baby doll and a bruha who is 6 years old! 



I still remember the days when I was pregnant with her. I was so excited to give birth and we waited forever to see Alyza. I was 3 days overdue from my due date to give birth. One week before that I keep telling my husband that this is the day, this is the day that I will give birth but it never happened. 





Here's a funny story I haven't share to everyone! When my water broke, I was peeing and didn't know that my water broke. I thought i was just doing my regular morning potty and then a big splash in the toilet happened. I know its TMI haha (Too Much Information)



After that I was bleeding and I called my hubby. Told him it is time and this time its for reals.




Tony rushed home from his work and we drove to the hospital (St Joseph in Dtown Denver). The cramps were intense that i thought my back will break. It was 27 hours of labor and Alyza still in my belly. In the 27 hours of labor, the nurse advise not to eat or anything kind of food intake. But I was not listening and took some hamburger bites from Tony's lunch. Our doctor said we need to do an emergency c section because its been 27 hours and I stop dilating. I remember crying and crying since I'm so scared for the procedure.





Alyza was born 2:19 pm on January 29, 2009 7.72 lbs 19". She is so perfect baby doll! She has changed our lives so much. We've been so blessed to have her and her brother.





Alyza been to many places since she born, shes a traveler. When she was 5 months she was in the Philippines, before she turned 1 she was in Vegas. When she was 1 1/2 New York and DC. Before she turned 2 we went to Mexico and New Mexico. Philippines again when she was 3. California when she was 3 1/2. 4 up to now we've been travelling all over Colorado. She's a trooper and tourist at the same time.







Here are some of her pics when she was 1 year old until now she's 6. 










Big 6 Alyza!

What's inside my diaper bag?

When I gave birth to Alyza, I always struggle what to put in my diaper bag. I usually over pack and end up carrying this huge bag together with my purse. That was almost 6 years ago.

Now I think I master what to place in Ayden & Alyza's diaper bag.

We have two diaper bags, one is the cargo pod underneath Ayden's stroller. The other one is a March by Marc Jacobs diaper bag similar bag here >> click this :) i got mine in Nordstrom rack but they still sell a different pattern in nodstrom :)
 
So what's inside these two bags!

1. Onesies and Pajamas - i love the gerber onesies - i usually buy them at target - link here ; they are cotton, breathable and so easy to wash.

2. Dr brown bottles, Milk, To go milk and water - these bottles are amazing! less colic and great technology - link here ; we placed emergency pre made milk and water for similac. These premade stuff helped us when we ran out of water in Ayden's bottle.

3. Diapers and Wipes - Huggies and Honest diapers are what we use. Here's the link to honest website to get your free trial - click this 

4. Emergency kit - this is a life saver. you know how Alyza get bruises or just needed some tlc. this to go emergency kit is amazing! - here's the link We also add some allergy medicine and baby tynenol just in case.

5. Camera - i usually place our waterproof camera in the kids diaper bag. If i didnt bring my dslr or go pro.

6. Blanket and Bibs - i use the blanket as a wipe if i dont want to use the wet wipes or bibs when Ayden is eating food.

7. Teether and Toys - Since Ayden is teething, i usually bring a teether. i like the como tomo teether, i posted it on my instagram before - here's the link  

 8. Hand Sanitizer and Lip balm - For general hand cleaning and eos lip balm for Alyza's lips since its so dry here in Colorado.


Below are some useful links what's inside my diaper bag. Hope this will help you if you're a new parent or just want to reorganize what you carry. Post in the comment below if you have questions or just say hi! :)

Hellerskie!!

Ayden turns one!

At the age of 30, I still can't believe I have a 5 years old little girl who's turning 6 soon and a little man who turns one today!

During my pregnancy me and Tony (also the rest of the fam) are excited to see Ayden. He is a blessing to us coz it took us almost 8 months to have him. i know we've been telling people that were not having another one after Alyza but in reality, me and my husband had a long conversation if we are having another one or not. We went to different pros and cons which is a smart parenting skill to have. (can we afford another baby?, can we give the same lifestyle with the second child?, how much college savings does the kids needs?, going back to work after giving birth?, who's gonna take care of the baby when we both go back to work? And yes we decided to have another one when Alyza turned 4.  


It was s struggle to have another baby in my case. I almost give up since I was having trouble getting pregnant again, which is a surprise coz we have Alyza right away. We didnt announce it in facebook that i was pregnancy until my 2nd trimester came. My friend nessi, noticed Tony's instragam post that i look preggo and she didnt even tell me she just said "lola!" (our pet names haha) 

here is the instagram photo:


Ofcourse our family knows I'm preggo before we announce it. We wanted to make sure that Ayden is healthy inside my tummy before we announce our blessing!




More blessing since he is a boy. A true answered prayer. We wanted a boy as our second child and it came true. We can't even explain how excited we are when we found out its a boy.


Last year 2014 at 9amish, I was in the labor and delivery and so anxious to give birth to our son. I know what I'm going though since I had Alyza in C Section. I hate the anesthesia and needle poking stuff. Which is weird coz I have 3 tattoos. haha




Not many people know that Ayden went through rough first 3 months as a new born. When i gave birth to him, on my 3rd day in the hospital, he didn't pass the oxygen test and his heart beat is not normal. He was in NICU for 2 days and when we got home from the hospital, we have a tube that connects to a home oxygen to help him breathe. If you zoom in to this picture you can see the tube that connects to his oxygen. Thank God my mom is in town to help me with household chores plus taking care of Ayden and Alyza while Tony still go to work regularly. It was the longest three months of our lives.




We didnt infrom everyone (except for family and close friends) about his status because we dont want people to have a pitty party. I'm sharing this experience right now to help parents like us what we have done to make him healthy and strong. Now, his 1 he is healthy as he can be. In fact Ayden's weight right now is the same weight of Alyza when she was 2. He surpass her sissy's weight.


The doctor came in the house every one Friday to check how his breathing is. We have an oxygen tank beside his crib, an oxygen to go whenever we go somewhere to make sure he breaths good. I admit its sad to carry an oxygen bag and a car seat without anybody noticing us. I dont like when people feel sad about our live. Makes me feel I didn't do my part when i was preggo with him. I will also confess that whenever i take and post pictures of him for the first 3 months, i removed the oxygen tank and any traces of the tube so people wont question us in line what is going on with him. My sis Dez asked me where is her oxygen when i post new pics in social media, i honestly told her i took a pic real quick and place back his oxygen. 



There are times at night I almost give up and cry why him and what did i do wrong for him to suffer in this. Maybe my hormones are still mess up that time? we prayed during these times.


Here are the stuff we did to keep him healthy during his first 3 months in oxygen.
- literally monitor his heart beat (thank God for our insurance plan, most of the oxygen stuff is covered with insurance)
- make sure we write down every meal he takes 
- monitor his sleep patterns
- since im breastfeeding, i watch what i eat and make sure it benefits him (i'll do another blog post about breastfeeding)
- check oxygen status, if the tank produces right amount of oxygen or not.


These are the only few things i can share and the other things are the stuff his pedia informed us to do. Again, every baby is different and every baby has different way of being a baby.



To sum up! The past year was the best year in our lives, Alyza learned to be a big sister, Nutmeg (our dog) learned to love and stopped being jealous to Ayden.


Here is the pics of Ayden's monthly growth. I'm so glad we took pics of him every month. This is a good tip for future parents out there. We did the same thing with Alyza. We love how we can look back at the pics and enjoy how our kids grow up to be an amazing person!!!!


I'll do another blog post about our celebration tonight :)
