Nominated for Hubby's Popular Project

I woke up this morning dead tired. Do you ever feel that way? Andrea, at 18 months, still wakes up a few times during the night wanting her bottle so I still wake up to feed her. For a few minutes after I opened my eyes, I contemplated not going to work but then I remembered this task we had to do that starts today and ends tomorrow and well... off to work I went.

Then I opened my email and saw that...

Ok so the project nominated wasn't really mine... it's my husband's Wooden Hut Doll House project... but I guess it's conjugal so it's mine as well *wink*. I can't wait to tell my husband later when I get home! I can pop him the link now but I want to see his face when I show it to him on the laptop later tonight. I'm sure he will be excited (but will try hard not to show me but I will know anyway, haha).

Voting goes on until this weekend so head on over to Lamb Around to check out the other projects and vote (voting is on her side bar). I'm not going to ask you to vote for me... but you know, vote for the project that you like best. No pressure :)


Then I checked my other comments and saw that I was also featured over at Stephanie Lynn's Under the Table and Dreaming. She featured not one but TWO of my projects for the same week! Again... one is my husband's popular Wooden Hut Doll House project but we already established that it's conjugal so... Yey, I have 2 projects featured! I can't wait to show this to him later too.

Blog Award!

Sorry for the lack of posts the past week. It's been a little busy with my nanny on vacation and then we went to a water park for a couple of days with my family. So now I'm back, with a few new projects which I will be posting this week. But first, I want to share a few things I'm thankful for:

1. The reason for Easter Sunday. So with all the Easter Eggs and Easter Bunnies (and in the case  here in my country, beaches and beach parties!) I hope we Christians remember that the reason why we celebrate Easter Sunday is to commemorate the day our Savior Jesus rose from the dead after he died to save us. 
Speaking of Easter Bunnies... I just want to share this photo of Andrea wearing her bunny ears :)
 2. Summer is here! While it's still Spring in some parts of the world, in my little corner, it's summer! Summer usually starts around March for us, but we have been given a wet summer forecast due to La NiƱa. It's not as hot this year (which is good) and it gets unusually cold very early in the morning (unusual for Manila here in the Philippines), and it rains... which is just weird for March and April here..But since last Saturday, we've been getting heat spells that makes you want to faint when you stay out in the sun too long which only means one thing... SUMMER!! 

This ship is part of the kiddie pool and I couldn't resist having a "Titanic" photo with Andrea ;)
 3. I've been given a blog award! 
I first received this award from Kathryn from The Dragon's Fairy Tail a couple of weeks ago but I haven't finished my list of 15 new blogs yet. And then Amy from One Artsy Mama, gave me the award last week too! Thank you so much ladies! Now, I'm ready to pass on the loooove!

Here are the rules for receiving this award:

1. Thank the person who gave you the award and link back to them in your post. So THANK YOU Kathryn and Amy! Both Kathryn and Amy have adorable boys and their site features great projects for little boys so make sure you check out their blogs.

2. Tell us 7 things about yourself. Here goes:
  • I have a 1-year-old daughter named Andrea;
  • I'm from the Philippines and currently living in Manila;
  • I have never seen Mod Podge before because there seems to be none here (disgraceful, I know!);
  • My favorite movie of all time is Gone with the Wind... but other movies I love are, the Star Wars series, Black Hawk Down, We Were Soldiers, The Patriot, and uh... Finding Nemo ;)
  • I love swimming, but last time I did laps was years ago because now, I just don't have the time :(
  • I just checked and I have 811 friends on Facebook! (my personal account). And you know what... I think I know each and everyone of them (because I don't add anyone I don't know).
  • I have a self-imposed 'No Internet on Weekends' policy (I work during weekdays so weekends are reserved for quality time with my princess).
3. Share the award with 15 blogs you just discovered. (Kathryn said 15, and Amy said 6, so to comply with both rules, let's go with the higher number). Some of the blogs on my list I discovered a while back, but I love them so they're on my list anyway. And some I discovered from link parties whose projects I love and bookmarked for future use :) Here are my 15 blogs:

Check out their blogs everyone!
