Finally have that extra time to update my blog, so yeah, HI Y'ALL!!!! I gave up waiting for my toddler to go nap so I went ahead and got my laptop and thought use the extra time to catch up with blogosphere. It's 6:07pm, an hour before I start cramming on what to cook for dinner. Preparing dinner (way) ahead of time is something I haven't mastered just yet, so there. But not to brag, I cook very good half the time--ask my picky eaters :) So June is almost over, where time went?? Before we know it, we'd be singing Christmas songs again!

So this is my first "The Sunday Currently" post, inspired by a blogger-turned-TV-star Maine Mendoza. This would be an easier blog post to catch up with you all and also an easy way to get my feet errr hands back again on writing.

Reading

discussion posts from "No Nuts Mom Group Support and Forum" Facebook group where I'm a member. This group has helped me big time with understanding and addressing my child's multiple food allergies, with peanut and shellfish being top culprits. Read a post about a mom with newly-diagnosed-child asking resources on where to start, and someone has recommended Food Allergies books--which I end up buying off eBay. Can't believe there's a LOT of things I still don't know about food allergies and anaphylaxis. So I decided to be more proactive, especially with my child about to go to preschool this Fall.

Listening

A/C busting off the vent and aquarium tank filtering water. No music, as I'm still hoping my kid would nap..

Writing

filling up my Passion Planner, (yes I have planner, the best one out there!) getting myself in a habit of updating it and sticking to daily plans. Brain gets foggy sometimes and always forget things, that's what planners are for.

Smelling
lemon essential oil diffusing..

Wearing
Jcrew shirt and my favorite blue athletic shorts.

Thinking

....of when will I, together with husband and child to be able to visit my parents and family in Philippines. My parents haven't meet my daughter yet, and she'll be turning 5 this year. The last time I saw my family was 2009. I miss my friends too. I've been longing and praying for this to happen. It's been a long time :(

Loving

all Disney photo pass pictures. We went to Magic Kingdom for one day two weeks ago, and just finally paid to get the photopass the other day. Love them all. Very pleased, magic indeed! Best $59 spent!

Meeting Cinderella for the first time

Wanting

to tend to my garden and fix up the yard. I love gardening, it's very therapeutic for me. I would trade shopping with gardening in a heartbeat! I just can't find the time to them. I still have a long list of chores to cross off before I can even get to go outside. Also it's so challenging to do that while watching your child. It's like have a set of eyes behind your head. We have a big front yard and a long driveway, but we live next to a big ditch that connects to a river and we're surrounded by tall trees and woods in the back. Snakes, foxes, deers are not new..

Needing
some time for myself or need for someone to cook for me, you know have a break? (if there's such a thing)

Feeling
Excited to watch Finding Dory this Tuesday! 13 years later, can you believe it's here??!

Hoping

for a more productive week---meaning getting things done. I'm starting to get my time balanced between work, my daughter's activities, chores and social media. Hoping to continue that. *pats myself in the back*

So that's it. Time's up. Time to think of dinner..

Have a blessed week to all!

Love. love. love

All set for our Florida vacation

Husband and I are both excited for our upcoming Florida trip. My father-in-law will be adopting us for seven days next week. We initially thought we'd just drive down there like we did on our past trips, but we realized that it would be cheaper for us to fly than endure a 12-hour drive (and another 12-hour going back). Thanks to FIL's generosity, he paid for our tickets! yay!

I never been this excited going back to Florida. It seems like this would be our first real vacation since we got married, or so at least a real week away from stress. We are not planning to splurge or blow off our savings account when we get there as money's a little tight lately. Dave said him and Dad (as I call my father-in-law) have planned our itinerary already, which worked great because that lifted the task for me to do some research on what-to-dos in Orlando. He said we're going to do Old Town at Kissimmee, for their Saturday Night Cruise, which they show off vintage cars from 1974 and up; Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament-something Dave and I really been wanting to go to for a while; Seaworld-this will be our 3rd time, which I will never get tired off; meet Dave's friend, Danny and his family; visit sister-in-law and family at Tampa; hopefully see my friends Debbie and Rhia; and the most I'm happy about is--Bubba Gump--my favorite restaurant of all, on my birthday!! This Orlando branch is the nearest location next to NC. So I told Dave, by hook or by crook, we are going to eat here! haha

Cruisin' along Hardeeville, SC

Dave and I have planned this trip supposedly yesterday, but due to my sister-in-law Ash's job call, she postponed it for today. We're going to meet her halfway between here and Florida to give her the 80cc 4-wheeler she bought from Dave's friend. This is the little white 4-wheeler our nieces have enjoyed riding when they were here last Thanksgiving. My sister-in-law thought of getting it for the girls as their Christmas present.

I love travelling. Just going to different places amps me up. But with long trips like this, the only worst part is getting up early. I just hate it when you're not fully awake yet and you have to drag yourself and leave in rush. So we got up @ 4:30, got dressed, got all the stuff together, got loads of coffee, left Harley & Missy a bowl-full of food and off we went. 6 hours of driving went by so fast. I felt guilty of taking some catnaps along the way, but I just can't help it. Poor husband of mine has to drive going there and back. I would love take my share, but not in this big truck and definitely NOT on an interstate (yet). Besides he won't let me anyway.
