ON THE NINTH DAY OF CHRISTMAS

On the ninth day of Christmas, excitement and emotions fills my heart. I am like a kid always excited for Christmas but it dawned into me that I am away from the usual Christmas I grew up with. I am away from my family and friends.

On the positive side, I have my own family now and this is all that matters. I treasure my son’s first Christmas and get so excited about it.

 

Love on Holidays,

Anne

ON THE EIGHT DAY OF CHRISTMAS

It was Tuesday on the eight day of Christmas and the sun is shining bright we went for a walk for like two hours and had some stops to apreciate the peace ans serenity of the river, the happiness of the ducks and swans swimming. It was beautiful that I wish the weather will be like that all winter.

Have a merry and bright christmas.

 

love,

ON THE SEVENTH DAY OF CHRISTMAS

On the seventh day of Christmas we’re back to our daily grind. My little one and I went to the hospital for some check up and surprisingly it was quick that we ended up in a mall nearby and in the Christmas market in Nancy.

My Thomas slept well while I do random look around the market.

I had my ever favorite churros while strolling around.

 

have a merry and bright day.

ON THE SIXTH DAY OF CHRISTMAS

On the sixth day of Christmas we had an impromtu rendezvous. The weather is very nice the sun is out and it is very inviting to go outside. We went to the Vosges and visited a house and went more adventurous and drove through the wilderness. The smell of the tress were refreshing. Ah! in touch with nature but still I don’t consider living in a place like that. A visit to the forest or nature every weekend is fun. We ate in a restaurant we found in a village we passed by but the food is not that good. We passed by also my favorite lake Pierre Percee.

Have a merry and bright Christmas!

ON THE FOURTH DAY OF CHRISTMAS

Hello world and beautiful people! I’m coping up with my Christmas posts. I hope everyone is enjoying the winter and the best time of the year.

On the fourth day of Christmas me and my little one stayed at home and do the usual things while my husband went to work. My mind was in a debate whether going out in the afternoon for a little shopping or not since the weather is not cooperating well for my little one. I ended up cuddling and smeeling my baby at home.

The best thing is it’s friday and weekend is here we spent it as a family.

 

Have a bright and merry day.

love,

anne

ON THE THIRD DAY OF CHRISTMAS

On the third day of Christmas a nice morning greeted us. The weather is not so gloomy and Mr. Sun come. Today is my sisters birthday. I called her and spoke to my mother and my sister to greet her happy birthday. I miss home. I miss my family back in the Philippines. I can’t wait for my own homecoming and be with them again together with my son.

I got stressed this day and everything went well in the end.

 

Have a bright and merry day.

 

love,

anne

ON THE SECOND DAY OF CHRISTMAS

On the second day of Christmas the day was quiet nice. The sun shine and I wanted to go out but my little one is keeping me pre-occupied that he wanted to be with me and doesn’t want to be put down. It always melts my heart if I go against his will so I just stayed at home and be with him. One good thing I managed to write a blog in between.

In the afternoon, my husband went for a run with Lilly and I cooked one of my favorite pasta Cime de rapa for dinner.

Before the night wrap it reminded me again of some thoughts that I wanted so bad to go back to my job. The job I love to do. Yes, I have done teaching but my heart is not into it. Makes me think that when you force something that your heart does not desire you will end up unsuccessful, sad, angry and disappointed. No matter how hard you try if it is not your hearts desire you will never be successful.

Back to happy thoughts, at the moment, I am happy to be a new mum and loves the full time job of taking care of my little one. He is just so adorable and irressistible that I can’t think of the day I am not with him. His smile makes my day no matter how tired I am. I still cry watching him sleep. Oh dear little one, you have my heart. I love you.

Have a merry and bright day.

ON THE FIRST DAY OF CHRISTMAS

What’s on my mind? All about Christmas. How to have a happy Christmas. Good morning beautiful friends.

I was feeling nostalgic when I searched the song “12 days of Christmas” and played it via youtube. Philippines has the longest Christmas ever. It usually starts on the first day of September and everyone starts putting Christmas mood and decors. Yes I know we also celebrate Halloween but Christmas is something that everyone is excited about. Christmas is for children but it is us adults that make it happy and memorable for them. So I wanted to remember my days of Christmas this 2015 since this is gonna be extra special just like the 12 days of Christmas song.

On the first day of Christmas my husband went to Paris for the Climate Change Summit and I’m happy for him in his career.

I spent the day with my little one cuddle and play and in the afternoon we took Lilly out and bought a cake. My little one turned 7 weeks old on the first day of Christmas. Such a happy day.

I cooked potato with olives and tomatoes for dinner and my husband is happy to finish it all. When he’s happy, I’m happy too. πŸ™‚

Today is the second day of Christmas. See in my next post.

Have a merry and bright day ahead. Enjoy the season.
