#thePerfectMonday Week 4

Oh boy what a weekend! 

We started Friday with a field trip to the Old San Juan, and those kids of mine spend a fabulous time running, playing, being silly, and flying kites. 

Take a look of my accomplishments: 

From Pelhuaz:

• Things are going great. Due to few orders, and a sales hosted by Vistaprint, I was able to ordered new presentation cards. Here's a sneak peak:

• I kept working with the product photos, and they are looking much better now. Even, Storenvy shared one at their Twitter. That was exciting!

• I also completed a custom order of seven keychains for Mother's Day, that looked pretty awesome.

From My Homeschooling Project:

• Week #34 was completed. 
• We have 4 more weeks and we are DONE!
• We covered all the planned material related to: 
• Math Awareness Month,
• Earth Day 
• Poetry Month, 

Spanish

• Review and evaluation of Chapter 7: De donde vienes

English

• Prepositions and Conjunctions

Science

• Review and evaluation of Chapter 8: Heat and Light

Field Trip

• This was the best field trip so far! Was related to History and the way Spain managed the colonisation of Puerto Rico, and defended our territories from other countries. We visited El Morro - that it's an impressive fort located in San Juan. We learned, we visited the exhibition, and we flight kites. So much fun!

Enjoy your week, and embrace #thePerfectMonday!

#thePerfectMonday Week 3

OMG What a productive weekend! 

I spend all my weekend playing around with my camera, a fancy shot box for photo (and when I said fancy I meant that I did one with a pamper box, tissue paper and tape - and yes, it's the one that pop in your feeds on Facebook...), and making new bracelets.

I achieved a lot, even I had to put aside my World of Warcraft playtime, but it was worth it!

Here are the good news from last week:

From Pelhuaz:

• I was tired of the different light in my photos, so decided to take out my pretty Nikon J1, and start shooting. Take a look at the before and after pic.

• As I got to excited about the results, I couldn't stop and changed the complete look of the storefront, and the Facebook banner, and (if you didn't noticed) the blog banner. 

• I made few extra sales... Yay for me! And a customer send me this fabulous pic with happy comments. That really made my week!

From My Homeschooling Project:

• We covered all the planned material related to: 
• Math Awareness Month,
• Library Week, 
• Poetry Month, 

• Spanish
• Reading Comprehension
• Letter H
• Vocabulary

• English
• Reading Comprehension
• Verb, Adjectives, Adverbs
• Science
• Heat and Light
• Math
• Customary Measurements
• We also had an awesome field trip to the First Planeta Digital Expo that took place last week.

Enjoy your week, and don't forget that this is a #thePerfectMonday! 

No one told me...

It's another week on the countdown to Christmas. Isn't that great? I just remember last year celebration and it was not so long ago. I also remember discovering that I was pregnant. All the magical and fabulous sensation of the excitement of the baby to be.

 
We wanted this baby for so long and finally we were able to have him. This was my 3rd pregnancy - I have 2 girls, and I thought that I knew the 9 month drill.

How wrong I was...
 
No one told me that baby boys and baby girls pregnancies are WAY too different. No one told me that the morning sickness can start whenever the baby boy feels like to, even if is at the second trimester when you suppose to be feeling all fine and dandy. No one told me that when the doctor said "Not Hanky-Panky with Daddy" until further notice because you need to bed rest, is when you want to "Hanky-Panky" with Daddy. No one told me that bed rest is a pain in the butt, and watching TV all day can make you feel cranky. 

  
No one told me that I'll start swelling for not apparent reason and look like Big Hero 6. 

No one told me that I'll be extra emotional and the thought of having to leave my girl for few days due to the baby's arrival make me crack into tears of desperation - without warning. No one told me that even looking at my girl's face will brought the thought of having to leave her for few days due to the baby's arrival and make me crack into tears of desperation - without warning ALL OVER AGAIN.

And the Oh-so-expected-day arrives and when you thought that the emotional roll-coaster was over... It start again with a different and strong twist. No one told me that all the pain will disappear as soon as I locked eyes into my Tiny Human. 

No one told me that the sound of his cry is the most magical thing in the world. No one told me nor warned me of the overwhelming feeling that consumed me the first time that my girl holded her new Tiny Brother in her arms. 

 

 
No one told me that I'll fall in love all over again with my family. No one told me that a proud and protective Big Sister is the most beautiful thing.
 

 
No one told me that I will be able to love her more - if that was even possible. No one told me that from being a Project Manager and a Mama of 1, I will became a comfy bed...

No one told me that I will develop a "fetish" for Tiny Human's feet.

No one told me that such a Tiny thing could be so darn funny.

No one told me that when he sleeps, I want to silence the world outside.

No one told me that when he cries I feel like dying inside and will do anything to stop his discomfort.

No one told me that those eyes will melt all my insides.

No one told me that his personality will be so much like mine.

  
No one told me that with only one hour of sleep I will survive the day. No one told me that all my years of experience as a Project Manager will be used to manage my Tiny Human. No one told me that an elaborated schedule needs to be establish with intervals of 3 hours per breastfeeding. No one told me that after each feeding I could eat an elephant (didn't happen before). No one told me that the Tiny Human can stay awake for so long, that only few minutes of sleep while eating or burping are enough. 

 No one told me that he will be so handsome and adorable.

And no one told me that I'll become Sting-Every-Breath-You-Take's Psycho... (This is one of the most misinterpreted songs ever. It is about an obsessive stalker, even it sounds like a love song.) I was already a Neurotic Mom, but no one told me that I'll become a whole new (higher) level of neurotic.

Every breath you take and every move you make
Every bond you break, every step you take, I'll be watching you
Every single day and every word you say
Every game you play, every night you stay, I'll be watching you

Enjoy your family, the Tiny Humans in your life, the little miracles that surrounds you. Be grateful for your sleepless nights, the dark circle under your eyes, the tiredness of your body. Time go too quickly and you'll missed all those things that no one told you about, but are the greatest of all. 

Besitos,
Zei
