TEA TALK

I’ve always been a major coffee person. It has been my main fuel for years – then I got pregnant, and my doctor recommended to slow down on the caffeine intake during those months. And so it began my quest searching for something that’d up my energy levels.

Tam (@mamabele) told me to try these packed teas and I just love them! My energy is back up like a dream. It’s a blend of oolong, goji berry, lemongrass, and some I just can’t remember right now. They claim it can also boost the immune system, help with digestion…Plus, it’s all natural and vegan friendly!

try it now!

Since our wedding day was 5 years (plus one week!) ago, I figured this blog needed some throwback photos. Angus beared our rings!

We were waiting for the second trimester to begin and after our family and closest friends knew about it to tell the good news here. Baby #3 is on the way!

Me and Tobias were “trying but not trying”, and last november I started feeling queasy in the mornings which made me run to the drugstore for a test. Guess what? Positive! We’ve been over the moon eversince. Gus and Mercy are so excited to be older siblings. Angus hopes it’ll be a boy this time around.

SNOW DAY

After a few days of freezing cold and hurdling up ourselves inside with hot cocoa & Disney movies, the sun came out a little and we venture outside to have some fun. It was Mercy’s first snow day! Since the last winters were spent in our sunny home in Hawaii, she had never played with snow before.

We made snowmen, snow angels and all the rest of the package. A lot of fun even for me, and I hate the cold! The best part was Emerson’s complete fascination with everything.

These are Tobias’ twin siblings, Lily and Lucas.

HAPPY B-DAY ANGUS!

Almost a month later though. So so sorry about this huge delay, but I guess life just caught up to me. We are already back in Haleiwa but I still have some more pictures of Montauk to post, our Mercy had her first snow day ever! Down side (or perks) of living in Hawaii.  To be fair a day before the 28th I wailed for about two hours about my Angus turning 6, it seems like I forgot that kids grow really fast. Kind of wanna blame my hormones though.

This amazing boy is becoming more wonderful each day, and I am so lucky to be a part of that. He is a kind, old gentle soul, with a pure heart and the most magical laughter.

So excited for the years next, to see the brilliant person he’ll become.
