My, how time has flown!

Can you believe that Mahdi is turning 1 in less than 2 months?

Has it really been almost a year? That is so CRAZY!

Anyway, i've been looking at some things to get Mahdi for his birthday, and i am so spoiled for choices! I simply can't decide!

I'm currently leaning towards the Trike, but it might take up too much space to keep. So we'll see how. :)

The trouble with getting older.

I spent the day in OU with Mashi yesterday, we were walking and talking about silly girly stuff when suddenly she GASPED in horror as she reached out and pointed out a single grey hair on my head.

I should have smacked her. (jk mashi, lol)

My FIRST UBAN!!! Holy crap, it's a total wake up call!

I am 27 years OLD!

is it normal for people to have grey hairs at 27? I'm so paranoid now. Haih.

Shut Up, I'm Fabulous!!

Mundzir and Ayesha Erickson.

If you've been reading my blog for a long time, you probably know that I am a huge fan of How i Met your Mother.

I used to feel like i was Robin, and could never imagine myself settling down.

And then i met my Marshall/Muuzi and realised i'm more like Lily.

Then i noticed that Marshall and Lily are a lot like me and Muuzi.

We have heated arguments about things sometimes, but at the end of the day what really is important is that we love each other more than we care about what we were fighting for. I give my friends this same advice, in relationships if the argument isn't really going anywhere, just give in. You are not losing anything, in fact you loose more when you stand your ground, much like Robin and Ted's relationship, where neither would budge on what they want.

Plus Lily was pregnant around the same time i was, and we face a lot of the same issues voiced out in the episodes.

Then now that they are parents, they have a hard time finding a balance between being there for their friends and trying to raise their baby Marvin/Mahdi.

November is here!

Let me just say how super excited I am about November...

I'm promising myself i would make a real effort starting from today, that i would;

- eat less carbs

- Go to the gym at least once a week.
- try to cook breakfast and dinner for Muuzi everyday, not just once in awhile.

Wish me luck! :D

ps: My baby boy is 10 months old today. He's is honestly growing up to be quite the young prince charming. He loves to kiss my cheeks and nibble on my chin with his 4 little teeth. I love him SO much. it's unreal that we could love someone so much.

Pirate Party Planning!

I know it's early, but i've decided to start planning Mahdi's birthday party!

Reason being, his birthday is on the 31st of December, which is a Monday, so i'd have to have the party on the 1st of jan, on tuesday.. which means most of my friends are going to be out partying the night before, and tired/hungover on that day. So i'd have to give them ADVANCED warning, so they can plan their day appropriately.

Or maybe i could have the party on the 30th, which would be Sunday.. hmm that actually would be better.

As i said, i'm only starting to plan it. So i haven't worked out the details yet. But the one thing is for certain is that we are having a pirate theme pool party, which is TOO CUTE!!

Isn't it cute? looks simple enuff.

I gotta say, i'm going to try making it more cutesty pirate, and not so skulls and bonesy. Also I'm thinking of making bandana's and eye patches for the kids, and maybe tiny little vest? (too much? we'll see)

One thing i know without a doubt is that i am going to make Mahdi a Smash Cake! That epic moment of messiness of Mahdi becoming a big boy, no doubt. I'm having a smash cake! :D
