I Heart Blogging!

I have a confession to make.

I love celebrating Christmas and New Year. But without proper planning and time-management skills, this holiday season can be pretty stressful and energy-draining.

Because the truth was, we had a hard time squeezing in everything that needs to be done all at the same time — work deadlines, Christmas parties and there, Greggy’s school activities, weekly exchange gifts in the office, birthdays, Christmas shopping, groceries, and the list goes on.

As a matter of fact, a few days before Christmas, hubby and I went to Divisoria for a whole-day shopping spree after work in order to complete our Christmas list.

Oh boy, I was on the verge of giving out personalized bar mugs and ballpens in my desperate attempt to escape the holiday rush.

Clearly, we need to plan better next year.

Got myself a new pair of Converse shoes at 50% off yesterday.

The Converse Megasale at the Megatrade Hall is until December 18th! Shop till you drop! Hurry!😄

Our Christmas tree has already been set up! Have you set up yours too?

Every year, my husband keeps himself busy setting up everything. From Christmas lights to Christmas tree, to lanterns, to figurines, to garlands, to ornaments – practically everything! Between the two of us, he is the talented one when it comes to things like these.

I just work as the…oh well, devoted assistant.

But hey, I was one who took these photos! Just forget about our rustic furniture if you see one.

This year, most of our Christmas decors are recycled. We’ve been using them for years now. We just added one small indoor lantern. Talk about instant savings! Ayesha, our one-year old, screamed in excitement when daddy turned on the Christmas lights for the first time.

I just wanna say “Happy 4th of July” to my American friends! Enjoy your day!
