Little girl’s loot.
Here’s Sophia’s loot from the US when her Auntie Nancy arrived last week. Stuff were from Gap, Old Navy and thanks to Peachy, All Aboard Toys.
Guam Getaway.
We left for a quick Guam getaway last March 8 via Continental Airlines. 7:45pm flight was exactly on time and was a breeze too. We were in Guam in no time, three hours and thirty minutes after we took off at NAIA.
We reached our hotel – Outrigger Hotel in like eight minutes from the airport. As you all know, Guam is a very small island. Everything is within distance as the driver told us. Check-in was a breeze too. Keys were handed to us promptly as we arrived at 1am Guam time. We are two hours behind by the way which makes it 11pm Philippine time. We slept right after we checked-in obviously as it was late already. Early check-in cost us $85 each ha. Not cheap!
The next day after eating breakfast at The Palm Cafe in the hotel lobby, what else would we do but hit the beach and swim?! Too bad I didn’t have a waterproof camera with me. Boo. To top it off, nag moist pa my cam, syet! So here are the only pictures I got.
Just look how much sunblock I put on, di naman obvious na takot ako sa araw ano?

Happy 3rd Birthday, Sophia!
birthday girl with her strawberry shortcake cake
My little girl celebrated her 3rd birthday yesterday together with her classmates at Toddlers Unlimited. I prepared a simple class party for her and I’m glad I did. As you all know, as I’ve written in my other blog, I had several party plans in mind but last minute decided on a class party. It was the best choice. Sophia was so happy to share her birthday celebration with her “friends” (what she calls her classmates).

my new home
Yey, you made it to my new home. 
I’ve moved everything from my blogspot here so please update your links. I’ll be keeping this blog together with My Charmed Life from now on. My Joys has been my home for two years and as much as I don’t want to abandon it, I can’t help but move on. I am loving wordpress just so you know. 
As my title indicates, this blog will document my bouts with motherhood and everything else in between. My Charmed Life on the other hand will focus on my life sans mommyhood duties from now on. I need that break you know. We all do, every once in a while as no matter how doting a mother I am and how selfless a wife I am, I still feel the need to just be me every chance I get.
So if you want to keep track of how I mother a 3yo little girl who happens to talk more than I do, this blog is the one you need to visit. If, on the other hand, you feel the need to not talk about anything motherly, point your browsers to my other blog.
See you around!
dog update
The husband came home without a Miniature Bull Terrier. Apparently, the one he saw wasn’t as nice. Good news? A big NO. He came home with four Mini Pinchers instead. The good thing is, the dogs are bound to stay in the farm, not here in our house. Oh yes, good news!
BUTAs soon as the little girl saw this uber tiny Mini Pincher, she wouldn’t let it go. As of today, the three are already in the farm and this dog whom Sophia calls KRUNG KRUNG is still here at home. Until when? I don’t know. Probably until the little girl loses interest. I hope SOON!
