Ayumi’s First Hair Cut

Finally, I decided to cut Pillow’s hair. So we went to Cuts 4 Tots at Greenhills. I like going in this salon for the first cut because they have this certificate. Gareth also got his first hair cut certificate in this salon.

There is a before and after picture too and the certificate will be release after a week.

I hired an official photographer and videographer for Pillow’s Birthday. Investing a professionals for this event is so worth it because pictures and videos will help us remember those wonderful moments. Since I am a sentimental mom, so this one is very necessary for me.
Enjoy the pictures!!


















Everytime I checked the pictures, I still remember how the party went so perfect that day. I am so thankful that I hired a Party Planner to help me in very details. I am so grateful also that friends and families were there to celebrate with us.

>Pillow’s Milestone

>

Pillow is growing fast. She learn so many things easily. She loves going around the house. We need to clean each corner of the house because she loves picking everything and putting it to her mouth. She also loves to dance everytime she hears Bruno Mars and Justin Bieber songs. She has 6 teeth already and loves biting my clothes like a little monster. LOL

She is not sleeping like before too. She is very active and loves to eat everything. She loves peek-a-book game. She is still learning to walk and it seems that she is taking her time and I am not in forcing her to do it right away. I want her to do it on her own. She is also talking a lot but mostly I can’t understand yet but I am glad that she is really trying. She also loves to sing.
I am a very proud mom of my kids and I can’t wait to witness all the exciting milestone in their lives!

Pillow’s First Birthday was held yesterday at Corinthians Garden. Since I wanted a big party, I hired a Party Planner para wala na akong iisipin sa pag contact ng mga suppliers. Before I contacted the Party Planner I already had the list of what I wanted in my party. When PP and I met I just informed here the party details and so happy that she delivered it exactly what I want and because of that it made the event PERFECT!!

Official Party Planner: Dynamic Impact: 10/10 c/o Emie –

I got the following services from them:

1. Venue – Corinthians Garden

2. Food – Nong food tasting pa lang, sobrang satisfy talaga kami ni hubby. Kaya nong event mismo confident ako na masasarapan guests namin. Akala ko nga hindi na ako makakain kasi madaming bisita but so thankful that Emie offered us food habang nakapila ang guests so walang nasayang na time, hindi pa kami nagutuman ni hubby.



3. Chocolate Fountain – nice set up pero dahil busy ako hindi ko na natikman.



4. Ice Cream – wow kids love it! I tried it at masarap talaga. I saw moms and kids are eating ice creams.



5. Cake – Simple lang pero masarap. Guests were texting me after the party that they like the cakes. I have mini cakes too as a souvenirs and they really love it.



6. Cupcakes – I ordered 50pcs. with clear box. This served as a souvenirs din.

7. Entertainment – BUMPY – ang galing nya. Lahat talaga natuwa. Kids and adults love him. Magaling yong magic and puppet show. Very friendly din and during breaks some of my guests approached him kasi natuwa talaga sa kanya.

8. Face Painting – cute ng designs and kids love it.

>Pillow’s First Birthday Preparation Part 2

I decided to let our friendly neighbor to do our party outfits. I printed our own designs and show it to the sewer. It is doable and I am so excited to see the result. We’ve been to different malls but only got frustrated. When I found the perfect design, there is no right size for me. If I found a perfect design for Pillow, they don’t have a right color or size for her. It’s sad so my husband decided to stop looking around because it only stresses me and just let someone do the work. We went to the shop and in less than an hour we are done. So we are now waiting for the finish product and I hope its gonna be perfect for us!
I love to think that hubby is ready to spend big time for Pillow’s special moment. I am so thankful and happy that he is always here to support me for my wants and needs! LOL
Anyway, Pillow is quite sick for the past few days because of teething and I am hoping that soon she will recover. I hope she will gain weight too.
I also found out today that she is allergic of water with chlorine. Everytime she take a bath she got those little red spots, I worried a lot and bought lotions and bath gel and soap that is perfect for her skin but still the red spots are keep on coming. Then the nanny told me that it might be the water so from now on she needs to take a bath using the mineral water. It’s really okay with me as long as all the red spots are gone and she will have a healthy skin.
We also decided to stay for 2 nights at Linden Suites on Pillow’s Birthday so that we can have enough rest before and after the event. We just made our reservation this afternoon for 3 bedroom suite.
I hope that everything will turn out perfect!
XOXO

>Pillow’s Scrapbook

>

I love creating scrapbook. I have both digital and traditional scrapbook for my kids. I ordered templates online for both of my projects. The traditional scrapbook is my past time if I am bored and sick of facing monitors. I have all the templates, glues, ribbons and other accessories ready just in case I get bored of my usual daily routine.
Lately, I prefer creating digital scrapbook and below are my works… err… labor of love.
