Another pic from my mini photo shoot last week with this special little boy. The first two years of his life, we had lost 2 pregnancies meant to give him a playmate and give me some purpose to having left my career to be a stay-at-home mama. But God had other plans and I know that it’s better than I can imagine. After making it through the darkness of the losses - I focused on the things that I have, among which is solo time with this perfect little mischief maker. He is growing so fast and I know I can’t get these precious moments back once they’re gone. #jerseycitymamas #sahm #mamasboy #pregnancyloss #ihadamiscarriage

😍😍😍 My little man #mamasboyforlife

Still don’t get tired of this view. There’s so many things I enjoy about being on this side of the river. We get NYC sights but the more friendly, neighborhood feel in JC. The last few months, I’ve even been more involved with various groups here and it makes me love JC even more! #jerseycity #home #nycview

This first view of the Taal Lake and Volcano was taken last Thursday as we celebrated my birthday in the Tagaytay. We spend 3 days in the area and even talked about how the volcano was still active and pondered the possibility of it happening during out stay. The second pic is one my uncle sent, taken by his friend just 2 days after we left. So wild how close the timing was. So many people are displaced because of all the smoke and ash. Please pray for their safety and also those traveling who are hoping to make it home and out of Manila.

This boy had a blast in what ended up being a private tour of the animal farm at the Tagaytay Highlands. He held a small tortoise & birds, fed the llamas, bunnies & ponies, and also saw huge pythons, a tiger and monkeys of all types. #toddlerlife #itsmorefuninthephilippines

We’ve arrived at our last destination before heading back to the US. Loving this beautiful room and the great customer service we received in our welcome! Looking forward to relax before another day long travel to go back to the other side of the world. #itsmorefuninthephilippines

I have loved every moment that I get to share my childhood with this sweet kiddo - from drinking coconut water straight from the source to chasing the stray kitten and roosters around the farm. He sang and danced at my great-grandparents house the way I used to which I’m sure made their spirits happy. And he’s befriended the household tiki (gecko). 😂 All thats needed is for him to climb a guava tree and that pretty much sums up a lot of what I did as a kid. 😉 #itsmorefuninthephilippines #toddlertravel

We were first to arrive at the sand bar, when it was this tiny spit of land. Then it became a huge expanse if sand that spread pretty far in all directions.

Trying to take a picture with a 3-yo be like this... Thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the Majuyod Sand Bar, the “Maldives of the Philippines”. We got our own banka (traditional boat), encountered many sea creatures around the sand bar, ate fresh sea urchin and had lunch cooked for us on the boat. And all for the price of $120. 😅 #itsmorefuninthephilippines
