Dawn & Rain may have shared almost everything (one womb, one crib, same clothes), but they're different in so many ways! We're seeing more smiles now and different personalities. Dawn is the more sociable twin, she smiles so much she drives me crazy. Rain is a little more ...
1/52: A Year of Dawn & Rain
I've blogged A LOT in the past 10 years. Chasingdreams.net alone has collected 270+ posts in 3+ years, and I'm not even adding up the ones I posted on my other sites over the past decade. I blogged about stuff that I loved, people who made me smile, places I went to, experiences ...
We Love Spinkie’s Bitbit the Rabbit
This post about Spinkie's Bitbit the Rabbit was first published on ThisMommyLife.com. When my husband and I were thinking about what to get our twins for their first Christmas, we both agreed that we won’t be giving them clothes. Newborns outgrow their clothes too fast; besides, ...
It Felt Like Christmas Morning
I remember that day we took our babies home. My husband and I sat at the back of the car, carrying Dawn & Rain in our arms like two kids who just received their most precious Christmas gifts. First-time parents, we each held one baby ever so gently, a little unsure if we're ...
Week 32: Probably The Only Time I’m Giving Pregnancy Tips
And I'm not about to tell you what to eat, what to do when your feet are swollen, or what's the best sleeping position with a huge watermelon-sized tummy. There are gazillions of websites for those tips already (try Baby Center & What to Expect), and surely they know more ...
Week 21: Getting the House Ready for Our Soon-to-be Family of Four
I thought getting married would be the end of my apartment-hopping. Guess not. Less than a year after my husband and I moved into our first home, we're packing our bags again. At least we're not changing our address; we're just moving to a bigger unit in the same building, one ...
Week 19: Write it Down On the Tablet of Your Heart
So I've been creatively scribbling stuff on my journal with my G-tech and Artline pens these days, and I'm kinda loving the beautiful mess my journal has become. I love that I'm excited about something artsy/crafty again. God has been teaching me a lot these days about being ...
Week 18: All I Think About is Food
It's Friday, about a couple of minutes before the work day ends and the weekend begins, and all I can think about is.. food. My food cravings this past few weeks, on Instagram. It's like I have two hungry monsters inside of me! These days, I particularly like sweet stuff ...
When a movie gives you all the feels
So my husband and I were watching The Vow just now. I was prepared to watch a so-so movie because that's what I heard one of my friends say about this one. What I didn't expect was.. I'd end up crying like a hormonal pregnant woman (oh wait, yeah, I'm one!) and holding on to ...
The Search is On for Tagaytay Wedding Venues
That 500 Days of Summer song felt like last Saturday's soundtrack! Saturday, May 5, 2012. A few friends and I went on a road trip to Tagaytay to scout for a wedding venue. It started out as a top-secret mission, LOL, but since word has been out ...
