Leaf Creations

I saw her on Facebook and I'm very impressed. Lucas Leaf Creations owned by April Lucas. She's a unique artist. A wife and a stay-at-home mom of 2, one 9-year-old daughter and 7-year-old boy. 

What impressed me the most is that she used a leaf for her creations. Yes, you heard it right. It's a leaf, a part of nature. According to her, "It is wonderful preserving the life of leaves that fade away, never see it again. I love that the leaves I choose live on forever". All her creations are one of a kind, handmade and "a kind imprints of nature being that the leaf is no longer usable after it has been cast".

Above is one example of her creations that I love. Isn't it wonderful? And to my imagination, "you look like a fairy with that awesome thing!".

If you want to see more of her creations, you can find and like her on Facebook: Lucas Leaf Creations or her Etsy Shop.

My Father and The Mushrooms

mushrooms, memories

It's night-time, the skies are roaring with thunder and lightning. It seems the team of unseen horse's hove's had created the clap of thunder! Mom was hugging me and trying to soothe me when suddenly a very loud lightning tears and light the skies. It made me shiver and I try to snuggle into my mom's body for cover.

Guess,  I had fallen asleep, alright! It's morning, I was awaken by my mother's shake. She told me to get up and bring a basket to my father. I can hear my father's whistle! It's a sign when he's calling us. Perhaps, papa found a lot of mushrooms near the Nipa (Nypa fruticans). So, I went running excitedly with a basket in one hand. When I arrived with the basket, I can see my father's smile. He told me to hold the basket for him while he picked up the mushrooms. I am happily holding the basket for him because Mama will cook it for mealtime - Mushroom soup! Yey!

Reminiscing good times during my childhood. It's small and yet the happiness it gave me was amazing. 

When lightning strikes, I asked mom, "Will there be mushrooms, tomorrow?"

Thank you very much for dropping by, guys. I haven't had a chance to drop ec's lately. It's so little time to do both worlds with my son and online gigs.

Tiki-tiki Plus for Baby

I feel intimidated when I hear them talking about the differences between my son's weight to my weight. Sometimes, they will baby talk and told him, "You are so small and your mommy is so big". Is that a comment to crush my soul? Yes, I'm one sensitive woman, though. I understand that it is a bully instead of a good criticism. I took it as a challenge. Yes, it is true that my baby is thin and small for a 5-month old. I look for baby products that are suited for him specifically for nutrition and the good appetite. I did not breastfeed him which I think that's one of the reason.

Anyway, my MIL suggested buying Tiki-Tiki drops for baby. Oh, yes, I almost forgot about Tiki-tiki. MIL is really supportive because she urged me to drop it in his mouth. I was in doubt and worried on how he will accept the taste. Fortunately, he did like it and lick it with his tongue. Then, I gave him water, after.
