All About Bella

Isabela is our newest addition to the family. She was born on January 23rd in New York. I haven’t seen her in person, but with all the pictures that her mom and aunt Cris are posting, I feel like I was there when she came out of this world. Bella is so loved by her family and friends. Everybody was at the hospital, too bad we’re too far away, we can’t be there. Hopefully we will see her in December.

This is Isabella Peyton, 6lbs 10ozs and 20 inches long, born in Rome, New York on January 23rd.

Bella

Vanessa is my sister-in-law and the last time I saw her was in 2008 I think. It’s been a long time. Bella is her 2nd child, unfortunately I haven’t seen both her kids, I can’t wait until this coming Christmas.

Mommy and Bella

Meet Mike, the daddy of 3. Bella’s good looking dad. I haven’t met him either but I have heard so much stories about him… all good of course.

Daddy and Bella

This is Aiden, Bella’s big brother who loves Bella so much. I only see him through pictures, I am so glad that there is Facebook, I saw him grew from a tiny baby to this handsome looking young boy. I can’t wait to meet him.

Abby is their big sister, who also loves Bella so much. She is a great sister to both her siblings. She is fun to be with, a very loving sister. She’s not only pretty, she is also sweet and everybody loves her

Mommy Nessy used to be scared to have kids because of little tolerance in pain. But when she had Aiden, she then realized that being a mom is the best gift a woman can ever had.

Can you tell that Mike is such a wonderful father to these 3 sweethearts? These kids are so lucky for having Mike as their dad.

Did I ever tell you that Bella is one of the luckiest grand babies in the whole universe? She is loved by her grandparents. Everywhere she goes, people love her, even the ones that live far away from her. Only if I could fly….I will come and give her some sugar.

Speaking of being lucky… another set of grandparents who will give Bella some tender loving care. They might spoil her once in a while, but they will definitely enjoy Bella, as she is such a sweet baby.

Wohoooo! Bella is being surrounded with uncles who are not scared of holding a newborn baby. Bella must really be special. I was surrounded by uncles growing up, I know how it feels.

Who would fly from one state to another just to see her new niece? Only aunt Cris will do that. I am telling you all, Bella is very special. There is also this great girl who takes care of her, and it’s Amanda. Her mom’s best friend’s daughter. It’s so great to be loved.

This is Bella’s latest picture that was posted on Facebook. I stole them from my family I hope they don’t mind.

Well, this is just the beginning of my story about Bella, many more coming…

To you Bella, always remember, we may be hundred miles apart, but we love you and we can’t wait to see you. You’re such a sweet and adorable. Be good to your mom and dad, to big sissy and brother Aiden. We will watch you grow, that’s for sure..

Gifts For Him

I don’t know why I always have the hardest time finding a gift for my husband. When we weren’t married yet, I never had this problem. Boyfriend gift ideas online was probably my reference when finding gifts for my then boyfriend. Red Envelope is the perfect site where you can get everything that you need for those someone special in your life. You can never go wrong when you order your gifts on this site on any occasion. I had been their customer for a long time now and whenever my loved ones get their presents, I immediately receive a phone call telling me that they love it.. Those four- letter word always make my day..

What I Asked For…

I love listening to music, whether I am home or in my car. I asked my husband for a new headphones since mine got busted and it will be great to get one. I wonder if I will ask for a gemini headphones, I have heard that aside from it works best, it also is durable, meaning, I won’t need to buy a new one for a long time. Listening to music can calm us down, it can cheer us up. When I am happy, all the happy songs are all about me. When I am sad and depressed, there are some songs that make me more depressed, and yet I still listen. Music tells story, and it can make us feel in love, it can make us cry, laugh and all. I love music, and I will never get tired of listening to songs whenever I get a chance.

Messy Kids, Need Some Cleaning Course…

They say that the earlier you train your kids to do household chores, the more they learn. Hmmm… Then I guess, I am not being a good mom. Although I teach my kids to clean their own mess, majority of the time, I end up cleaning for them. I asked them one day to clean up, they did, only for me to find out that everything was under their beds. Now that they are older, they do clean their rooms, especially the girls (ages 6 and 4) and they do very good job at making their beds. Our 9 year old boy, on the other hand cannot make his room clean. I remember when he was 5, he can clean his room and fix his toy shelf really good. What happened to my child over the years?

Used to be their room set up..

I do know that I need to be consistent when it comes to giving my kids some household chores. But, there are times that for the chores to get done faster and cleaner, I do it myself. I let them do their rooms and I do the kitchen, bathroom and the living room. Although I am not a very clean and tidy person, I can only tolerate so much mess. There are times that I let them make a mess so they can see the difference of messy and clean.. And of course, they prefer clean over messy :)

Have a great day to all and enjoy the rest of the weekend!

Choosing A Brand

Estee Lauder Lucidity Make Up

Estee Lauder is one of my favorite cosmetic brands. I don’t get allergic to their liquid make up. I use this for special occasion, well, I have to savor it to prolong my usage. They have variety of products and it’s high quality cosmetics and skin care. I remember when we had an informal fashion show at the store where I used to work, my manager took me to the Estee Lauder counter and they gave me a make over. I looked so pretty that I bought the products that they used on me. That’s when I started using it :)
