When I started this particular blog (I started several before settling here: Xanga, Vox, Wordpress, Tumblr), I did it for the purpose of sharing my pregnancy and motherhood stories about Athan because during that time, I was just often at home and since writing is a love of mine, it was a way for me to express my feelings and have something to look back on as memories when Athan gets bigger. It became an online journal and even if blogging has evolved so much beyond personal posts, I still can't help but return to this platform to share my family life like before. :)
Since I wanna go back to more personal posts, I want to talk about my pregnancy journey!

When I was growing up, I had the typical childhood of seeing my mom cook in the kitchen. Whether that may be here in Manila or Taiwan, you would always find her in the kitchen cooking or baking something. That became a huge perk for me because I grew up watching her closely and got to know how to cook or bake at a young age and I even got the extra knowledge of the best ingredients to use when I make certain food.
Speaking of ingredients, one of the brands I grew up seeing my mom use and has trusted forever is Arm & Hammer. She would use this for baking a lot and as I got older, I discovered that it's actually not just good for baking but also has so many other uses! :)
Since we're stuck at home with the kids 24/7 now and sometimes the days can get too routinely for them. I try to come up with ways to brighten up their day with fun activities. Today, Asher and I worked on a cool Pinterest activity we found called Rainbow Baking Soda Science Experiment!
