Holiday for Me!

I'm going to have a Mom's week out starting tomorrow! For those of you who don't know, I've won a package trip from Gecko Go Blog contest and I've chosen the Treasure of the North ( Thailand) trip. So, tomorrow will be the 1st day of the "Mommy Week Out". I've been very fickle minded with this trip and I can't count how many times I wanted to back out. But after a lot of deliberation and convincing from family and friends. I've finally decided to go.

So, now everything is almost ready and packed. I just have to make my heart 100% ready to leave the kids and Hubby behind tomorrow. I know it's another heart breaking experience but I'll be back in 8 days- refreshed, revitalized and re energized..:) THank God for this opportunity for a break and my only prayer is that the kids and Hubby will be okay.

I've already packed my clothes, some books, my jacket, camera and of course my fashionable sunglasses! Yeah! Too bad I don't wear eyeglasses because I've also seen some from Zenni for only $ 8 Rx eyeglasses . Yeah..cheap right? So, How You Can Start Spending Smart ? By purchasing cheap fashionable eyeglasses. Below are My favorite high fashion eyeglasses .

Praying For My Mom

My mom's in the hospital right now and she'll be going for an operation tomorrow morning at 8am ( Philippines time) . She has been experiencing some problem with her tummy for the past weeks now and when the doctor did the ultra sound, they found some gall stones. So, tomorrow they will be removing the stones.

Please do pray with me for her smooth operation and fast recovery. I just thank God for His strength upon her because when I talked to her in the phone this afternoon, she is truly assured of God's presence and provision for her. Glory to God!

Mommy Moments: The Name Game

Just a few months before my Hubby and I got married, we already know the name of our kids. We actually found this Names Baby Book and we decided to carefully choose their names from there. Since our names starts with J ( Jesu) and L ( Lalaine) we choose names that starts with both letters. So, it should be an L and J for a girl and J and L for a boy. And thus Laetricia Janiel and Jedaiah Lyle was coined.

So, here's the meaning of our li'l girl's name
Laetricia is actually derived from Laeticia which means Joy
Janiel is derived from Janelle which means God is gracious

and here's the meanin of our li'l boy's name
Jedaiah is actually a name of a priest from the Bible ( Chronicles) and it means " Beloved of God"
Lyle is derived from Lael which means 'Of God"

We only prepared for 2 names, for a boy and girl..and God has been good in giving us both. When I was pregnant for the 2nd time, we even didn't bother to prepare for another girl's name since we were quite sure that it's going to be a boy that we'll be naming Jedaiah Lyle. And indeed God has granted our heart's desire. :)
