Yeay, I've got flowers from someone!

And guess from who?


Last weekend we went out for breakfast. Well, our lilttle girl was not really in the mood for it though. So while we were having breakfast, she told her daddy that she wanted to take a walk outside.
And to my surprise when she's back with my hubby, she gave me those lovely flowers!
I was like SOOOO touched.... and thrill!

And yes, recently Iffah loves to give flowers to her mommy. If not fresh flowers that she picks, she would draw them for me.

Another thing that she loves, loves doing that really tire us us sometime is providing scripts for us. She will tell us things that we must say to her.
LOL!

She'll start with "Mommy, say this.."

And she continues with, among them:

"Oh little darling mommy, you are so cute!

"Why are you sad little baby elephant (or cat, or rabbit, or koala etc)?"
Usually when she gives me sad face, she actually wants her mommy to cuddle and hug her and say I love you.

And one of her favourite request from us is to ask us to act surprise, with big wide happy eyes! And it has to look real! This is especially when she's done with her paintings, writing or other stuff. LOL it's tiring sometime, coz it's not spontaneous but we were asked to say those things. Almost everyday, and now and then, she does this!

One thing I know she's very much a happy, bubbly kid especially when she's with us. I am so, so glad that I make a decision to be a work at home mom (WAHM). There's so much wonderful progress as compared to when she's at the child care.

Yes, she was very clingy when I started become a WAHM, probably adjusting to me staying at home working. But now, knowing that she's with me all the time, she's much more independent and very, very happy.

I am way far from being a perfect WAHM. Sometime I feel guilty having to juggle work and her. And especially when works are over loaded, I do feel that I neglect her. But despite all that feelings, I am thankful that I get to see her 24/7, to know that she is alright. And I find it a treasure to greet her when she wakes up, get to bath her, comb her hair, and do all the little things for her.

Back when I was working in the office, I kept wondering how was she at school. How do they treat her? Is she happy? I am glad I don't have to go through that again. And I know she's so much happy now that she doesn't have to be away from mommy. I'm not saying that nursery/child care is bad. But unfortunately for us, we had some bad experience with it. And I guess I had enough.

Oh on the other note, now I will be fully operating my photography works under a new name, littlestori photography. Do check out our website! OMG I am very thrill about this. And from now on this will be very much a personal blog to me, with all the ramblings and other stuff. While all the official works will be shared at www.littlestori.com.
I will still do sneak peeks here though ;)

So stay tune, to both my personal blog and official blog for more updates :)

I hope it's still not too late for me to wish Salam Maal Hijrah. May we have a blessful year ahead, ameen.
And for those who are celebrating Christmas, do have wonderful times celebrating it with dear family and friends :)

Some Progress and Beach Getaway

It's been a month since I last updated my blog! I really, really miss updating my blog but I'm just too busy setting up our new official blog cum website. And I tell you with my preggy condition, things get real slow!!!

Our new official blog is still on it's way... I hope I can get things done, if not by this weekend at least within these two weeks time. I wish I can speed every thing but now I really have to listen to my body and of course my lil' one inside. And the big sister Iffah who demands a quality time with mommy who now works at home ;p


Announcements:

1) Thank you for those who sent me your entries for the casting call, we're now in the final selection and you will get email from us InsyaAllah within this week. Sorry for not being able to reply to each and everyone earlier, but you will definitely get our reply soon :)

2) From now on, I won't be able to take all sessions due to my preggy condition. Hence sessions are only limited for babies who just started toddling and below, as well as maternity. And I'm giving discounts for these sessions, also because of my preggy condition :) Do contact me nearer ( a week or couple of days before your preferred date, if time and conditions permit we will head on for the session. I prefer not to take early bookings, again due to my preggy condition ;)


On a personal note, we took Iffah to the beach and would love to share with you some of her moments there :)

Have a lovely week everyone!

xoxo,
Milin.
