I’m baaa-ack! π Or at least, I’d like to think so. My world is still upside-down what with our 1-month old baby – but she’s absolutely the cutest so she has VIP pass to do so ππ
Sleep-deprived me (or is it, I? π€) however, have been missing blogging, so I thought I could warm-up via this week’s SYW. (By the way, you can participate in the fun π here).
If you were having difficulty on an important test and could safely cheat by looking at someone elseβs paper, would you do so?
No. If the test were that important then I’d rather find out through failing that I lack mastery on the topic & do it over again.
What things in nature do you find most beautiful?
Verdant blooms, mysterious forests, bewitching bodies of water, fierce rains, noisy thunderstorms, gay rainbows and the wide open sky.
Complete this sentence: When I travel I love toβ¦.
Watch & soak. Most people want to take pictures and I’ve tried that, but found that it takes away from the experience of being in that place and enjoying the moment. So I usually just take a few pictures as souvenirs and then sit in a cafe or someplace public and just watch what’s going on. I love it! π
Oh, and buy keepsakes of course! π
What inspired you or what did you appreciate this past week? Β Feel free to use a quote, a photo, a story, or even a combination.Β
I absolutely appreciate my husband and eldest child for being so supportive of what new moms go through – sleep deprivation and its not-so-pleasant effects.
My eldest, who enjoyed 10 (yes, ten!) amazing years as our only child, has gracefully accepted the fact that there’s a new baby in town. We thought at first she’d act up as she never seemed that excited while I was pregnant, but she’s been very sweet to her little sister instead, and helps out whenever she can.
My husband takes over without prompting upon coming home from work and on weekends, and is always ready to pitch in during night feedings (we supplement) or when the baby is just fussy.
Being in a foreign country, I certainly do not have the luxury of friends and family to call on for help when I need some time off. This does bother me but I get a second wind each time I think of how wonderful my eldest and husband are to me and the baby. I feel very blessed indeed πππ
Now how about you? π
I’m glad your eldest and husband are so supportive. Enjoy every moment you can:)

Thanks for my grandmother’s compliment. I’m not sure if you’re referring to the “About This Blog” post or the one from August, “Once There Was Beauty,” or both. Either way I appreciate your kind comment. Of course, I didn’t get to choose my relatives, but I’m extremely glad that she was one of them.
If it doesn’t invade your privacy, some time please share a picture of your darling girls. We’d love to admire them.
