Mommy Moments: Some of the Precious Moments with My Son

It's Friday once again...amazing how time flies so fast! It is Mommy Moments once again with the theme: Your Mommy Moments!

Just like every mother/parent, I love spending time with my son; and I miss it when he is at school; but I have to accept the fact that my son is growing so fast...and that he needs to be away from me to gain education. I am not a perfect mother that is why I feel guilty sometimes when I nag him when he doesn't put away his toys and makes mess all over the place I keep telling myself to loosen up and let him be...just like my husband said. Anyway, here are some of the moments I cherish most with my son.

We love reading book together...and Jake won't sleep without reading before going to bed.

Jacob got this thing from me...he won't be able to sleep without me by his side...just like me without hubby.

He still likes giving me a hug and kiss without any reason or being asked...

Mommy Moments: Chore Time

This week's there for Mommy Moments hosted by Chris is Chore time and here is my entry.

"Train up your child in the way he should go; and when he is old, he will not depart from it." This what the bible tells us. I am glad that I grew up poor,; we don't have a helper in the house. I was trained to do chores at the very early age of six. At the age of seven, I can wash clothes, cook rice and clean the house. I am grateful for my parents who thought us responsibility at the very young age. Now, we want our son to do the same. Here are few of the photos I have taken when Jake did chores at home.

Here, Jake was raking leaves with Daddy...

...putting away his toys...

...and sweeping/vacuuming the floor.

Mommy Moments: My Fave Foods

Sometimes, Jake is weird when it comes to foods; imagine he wants an ice cream for dinner or a cake? Yup, but did I give in? No! I just say to him that he can have either of them after he eats the food on his plate. Well, anyway, aside from eating Pinoy foods and fried rice, here are my son's fave foods...ravioli, chicken nuggets, fish sticks...

an ice cream for dessert,

spaghetti, any style, he doesn't care...Pinoy style or not!

A bowl of cereal...his snack after school...

or if he did a good job at school like: he didn't pull a stick coupled with yellow notes... a cheeseburger at McDo....

cake without icing; he loves cupcakes....

and pizza!

Sunday Stealing: The Over the Top Meme

Welcome back to Sunday Stealing. Sunday Stealing originated on WTIT: The Blog authored by Bud Weiser. Here we will steal all types of memes from every corner of the blogosphere. Our promise to you is that we will work hard to find the most interesting and intelligent memes. You may have heard of the expression, “honor amongst thieves”. In that age-old tradition, we also have our rules. First, we always credit the blog that we stole it from and we will “fess up” to the blog owner where we stole the meme. We also provide a link to the victim's post. (It's our way of saying "Thanks!") We do sometimes edit the original meme, usually to make it more relevant to our global players, to challenge our players, sometimes to select that meme's best questions, or simply to make it less repetitive from either this new meme or recently asked questions from a prior featured meme. Let's go!


Today we ripped this meme off a blogger named Linda (A good friend of ours!) at the blog Are We There Yet??. Linda changed the meme a bit and so did we. She states that Sandy of Traveling BellsOver the Top Award. But, it was probably stolen there as well. So, of course, that will be as far as we go. Tracing back our theft's thieves might take some time. Link back to us at Sunday Stealing!



Cheers to all us thieves!
