Remembering and Salvaging All At Once

Big news on my own family's front but I'll hold if off when things do pan out as planned. For now, we are all excited with the thought.

I've been fixing my computer since it recently crashed that broke my heart with the thought that all my little one's photos are lost forever.

I'm slowly reconstructing my hard drive including salvaging C's old photos...all this sorting and filings brought back memories of our little one's cute and calm beginnings. It brought about inspiration to scrap again using Mari Koegelenberg and Jenn Barrette's collaborative project for TDC called Puddle Jumper. I scrapped our little one (just 9 months old) and from a good friend/photographer's photo showing his cute innocence. How gone are those days of just him eating and sleeping. :D

Check out the below: I love the papers in this kit, being the big paper-lover. :P Aren't the papers cute to the max!

Advance Happy Mother's Day...pure joy!!! ~ from a fairly newbie mom (Mom's Day Kit!!!)

Advance Happy Mother's Day to you all mothers reading this blog of mine.

Being a fellow stay-at-home mom to an active talkative little boy, Mother's Day has taken a more important role to me. Each day, I look forward to new discoveries for the both of us. I'm so amazed on how intuitive and smart (too much at times) little C is. I fully understand how mothers can get lesser and lesser sleep but still have the energy to entertain/play with her little one. I believe "adrenalin rush" just doesn't cut it...it's something maternal in all mothers. There's no crashing point for us...just the calm moments when our children do learn to stop and sleep.

In celebration of this wonderful upcoming month of May and Mother's Day, Mari Koegelenberg has created a Mother's Day kit called A Mother's Love that is available now at Sweet Shoppe Designs.com. Have a look on this wonderful kit from a wonderful mother herself (Mari) and for mothers like me to enjoy the joys of being a mother!

Here's my take in remembering one of the happiest days of my life aside from giving birth to C.
