As promised, here is the Update on My Closet/Office which was on instastory last week and many of you responded yes to cover this on a blog post, so here is the before and after. The pictures above is the after and I will show the link on the post I did last year for the before photos and how it looked like last time.

I did not do any major changes but having this accent chair and added these hat collection on the wall made a huge difference. It was easy to hang on the wall, I used these command strip hooks so I won’t ruin our wall.

I also added the white shoe rack because I accumulated more shoes this time and needed extra shoe rack for them. I am now on the hunt to find a new chair for my desk here. I also added these alumitiles on the wall for my inspiration when I am creating content.

So now let me show you the link to the first post on my closet/office here to see the before and be the judge on how it turned out with the added update. What do you think of my interior designing skills here. Did you like what I added to my closet/office to make it more chic and lovelier to the eye.

Thank you so much for stopping and see you tomorrow here.

Happy Monday! I am finally back and on the positive note I am sharing Monday powerful quotes to start the week. I have been out for a week as I have been busy with family and a lot of things needed to be done for baby And’s arrival in few weeks. I have also been so tired as you all know I work full time as a physical therapist in the morning. So making content is a part time job for me.

So for all of you here is for a good start of this week….

“The secret to happiness is to count your blessings while others are adding up their troubles.” -unknown

“When life puts you in though situations, don’t say “why me” say “try me”.” – thegoodvibe.co

“The only impossible journey is the one you never begin.” – Tony Robbins

Hello everyone! I decided to give a bumpdate for all those new followers and for those who have been following all along. I am currently resting in bed as I was not able to report to work today. Decided to relax because I have been having contractions lately just like yesterday. After church when we were on our way for brunch at the restaurant. I started feeling hard contractions and they were 5 mins apart and it really is pulling on my back and it hurts. It only lasted for close to an hour as it stopped as soon as we got home and I was able to lay in bed. I must be tired I guess because I did some house cleaning earlier in the morning.

Mt thought was maybe baby Andi is getting so excited because she already had 3 baby showers and pretty much all she needs are here. But that is the last thing I want. I want her to be born healthy and reach her full term at birth just like my other two babies. That is why I decided to take another day off because being a Physical therapist as my day job can be exhausting.

I am 5 weeks close to my due date or let us say 3 weeks if she decides to come out on 38 weeks which is also considered full term. We all cannot wait to see her and give her all the love that she deserves. I do have a lot of pregnancy problems.. like my varicose veins coming out (the reason behind me wearing a lot of maxi dresses), back aches, sleepless nights. I can still endure all of them, I just want her to be safe and healthy when she comes out. I just want to air this to all pregnant mommas. We all know that the struggle is real and it is truly a hard work on our part but it is all worth it and very rewarding, I am also happy to have a very supportive husband, kids, family and d=friends around me. I wouldn’t be able to do this on my own. I salute all the single moms out there!

All we can do now is stay calm and keep praying right? Only God knows what is in store for us. Also to read about my two other bumpdates here and here.

I am writing this not to scare anybody who is trying to get pregnant but spread awareness on pregnancy and what it is all about. If pregnancy is that bad. How in the world we are over populated right? lol! kidding aside, being pregnant and becoming a mother is the most wonderful job we can have in the world. I wouldn’t trade it for anything.

Thank you for stopping by!

Simply,

This baby shower was not a surprise so the set up was at our house and my girlfriend Grace organized it for us. We both coordinated on what we wanted to do and it came out good.

We have been looking at a lot of pinterest baby shower ideas and we even looked at youtube on how to do this balloon garland. My kids also helped us out with the balloons set up. This was the highlight of all the decor.

As you can see here, we all had fun. We talked and laughed about a lot of mommy life. We even had an impromptu tea time after I cut the cake. My friend Grace bought the vake from Stellas Bakeshop in Rockville, MD. I have been loving this their cakes. So if you happen to live around there, you might want to visit, highly recommended.

Grace had games lined up but because we really had fun catching up with each other. We forgot about it, I even forgot to give them the party favors.

As for the gifts, I got a lot of items I put up on the Walmart Baby Registry I set up last week.

Thank you for stopping by and I wish you all to have a wonderful week ahead.

I just wanna share with all of you our wonderful experience with the Woodloch Resort. I must say it is one of the Best Family destination in the East Coast. I usually do not feel that hospitality here in the US in general but this resort is exceptional. They really made us feel at home and we all enjoyed everything here.

This dress is another amazon find and is super comfy. Also our hats are linked here and here.

This is an all inclusive resort so when you book everything is included. Just like when you are in a crew ship. All activities and amenities are free and we were given 3 meal plan for this trip. This was a gifted complimentary stay but all opinions are my own. I was never asked to make a blog post about this but I just really had to share our fun experience. It is really one for the books!

In case you have not noticed been wearing this Shoppinkblush dress so many times. Adi pool slides here are so cute I wanted to get one for myself.

This is really fun friendly resort! Everyday they will give you a sheet on all the activities they are having that day and they have it all for people of all ages. What we tried were, go karts, skating, magic shows, indoor pools, bump car, petting zoo, pony rides, arts and crafts, bump boats,

A whole lot more to offer like zip lining, archery, shooting, batting cages and a lot lake activities too. Check out my highlighted Woodloch Instastory on my Instagram here.

my flip flops here is Tory Burch and super comfy. Sunglasses is Karen Walker.

Amazon Swimsuit is under $25

I will call this lake life!

I can’t wait when baby Andi is born and a little older. We would like to come back here and 3 days and 2 nights is definitely not enough. I hope I was able to give some family fun ideas for you. They are open all year round. You may start this Summer if you live close by. They are located in Pennsylvania and is right next to Long Island, NY. It was 5 hours drive for us from Southern Maryland.

Thank you for stopping by and Happy weekend!

Simply,

Christianne
