Today was very nice because we were blessed to have a good sunlight. Usually at this time of the year, we have a lot of thunderstorms.
We took the chance to take some shots at the backyard with our princess with her outfit for her picture day at school.
This outfit is very nice because you can wear them at the park or at the beach… simply an outdoor weather outfit. It looks refreshing to the eyes. The material for this is very comfortable for a warm weather.

Take This No junk food for 21 day challenge:
Start disciplining yourself refraining from junk foods to start. Then you add some exercise so that when you start losing weight (fat) you will be toned. So when people notice your weight loss, you will not look like as if you came from a sickness that’s why you lost weight.
You shouldn’t be eating these food for 21 days.
No chocolate
No candy
No biscuits or cookies
No cake. Doughnuts or muffins
No pastries
No white bread
No chips
No fast food
No carbonated beverages
No ice cream
I’ve done this during Lent because I was thinking on what to give up (like a sacrifice) for That time. I thought that this will be a good one since all these food is what makes my day. Can you imagine it is like changing your lifestyle.
I was able to do it even more than 21 days because Lenten season is 40 days.
Right after the challenge, I was so eager to eat those junk foods that I missed. But when I tasted them. I said to myself, I really can live without them. Now, I just eat them every once in a while unlike before that I really have to have them.
I did a lot of good things on me. I lost some weight (fat), I lost my cravings on these type of food.
So if you are that person who is trying to get rid of some fats from your body and is trying to live a healthy lifestyle. Now is the time to do this challenge. It is only 21 days. You will never know how strong and disciplined you are until you try this.
I challenge you! Let me hear from you once you start doing this challenge.
Cheers to a healthy lifestyle!
It is teacher’s appreciation week and Adi’s school has a lot of activities for it. It’ll be her first time participating in it. They have things to do for each day that made it exciting for my 4 year old turning 5 in a week.
I remember back home (Philippines)that this is really a big thing in school. We had different programs for our teacher. We’d buy flowers and cards for them. Specially to my favorite one, I’ll give her something extra because she was like a mom to me. I look up to her because she is not even teaching us school stuff but also something’s to look into about life.
And here is the break down of activities they have in school this week.
This week has been a good one for Adi. I always ask her what they did in school everything she gets home. She was excited telling us about what they did in school for the teachers.
Having a lot of friends who are school teacher’s including my father in law makes me appreciate them more. Because I can see all theiir effort and how much time they spend at home working on their lesson plans, grades, buying stuff for their students with their own money most of the time.
I consider them as our second parents outside from home. Because in school there is where we go and stay most of the day. Those teachers just don’t teach you, they also look after their students well being.
This is a very noble job and they should be proud of it. I myself learn a lot from them when I was growing up.
My daughter learned a lot appreciating all other people’s effort specially her teachers.
To all the teachers out there. We salute you! All of you have been a part of all our success stories. Whatever we know now, you’re a part of our foundation.

I came up with this idea because I was approached by my co worker to fix her bracelets. She knows I can fix because I made a bunch of earrings and bracelets for them at work. Just for nothing, just thought about them and it was my hobby too.
That bracelet has a sentimental value for her since it was given by her friend. And because I am a jack of all trade, master on none, lol! I said yes.

As I have said earlier that dressing up is our mother-daughter bonding. Yesterday we went to the outlet mall at HM because we were looking for an outfit for her Cinco de Mayo presentation. I came across this flower head piece and I tried it on her. She loved it, so I bought it.
I just wanna share to you all how it looks like on her. This is a good accessories for this season.

Yesterday was definitely like a summer weather. Since we will be going to church. I was like okay I should dress up. Just like how our priest at church says. Treat church day as a special occasion where you dress up good.
So I went ahead and checked my closet and found this maxi dress, I thought this one will go good with my oversized handbag. Just like a rearguard mom where you have to take all other kids stuff with you because you have a 20 month old son.
It all worked out. Details of my outfit below. You can also check out other photos on my instagram account @simplychristianne

I highly recommend Medieval Times for a Mother’s Day dinner she won’t forget. This experience will transport you both back in time to an era of chivalry and grandeur.
My husband and I recently visited Medieval Times for our post-Valentine’s date, and it was an incredible experience. We were thoroughly entertained by the live action scenes featuring knights on horseback, jousting, and engaging in sword fights. The atmosphere truly makes you feel like you’re part of the medieval era, and the excitement is palpable.
The dinner itself is a feast fit for royalty, served while you watch the thrilling performance. It’s a delightful combination of entertainment and dining that is both fun and immersive. For the occasion, casual and comfortable outfits are perfectly suitable.
This experience isn’t just for Valentine’s Day; it’s an excellent choice for Mother’s Day as well. If you want to give your mom or wife a unique treat, make a reservation at Medieval Times. You can book your tickets at [www.medievaltimes.com](http://www.medievaltimes.com).

Since today was a cold spring day. This outfit was very approriate to wear. I wore this 3 months ago. Good for a gloomy 50 something temperature day.

Yes, the much awaited boxing fight is happening tomorrow, May 2, 2015 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. All the Filipinos like me all over the world is excited to see it. The way we watch it is like how an American does when it is the Super Bowl. And I believe that most of the people who knows Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather is interested in it too.
My family and friends are ready for it. We already purchased the pay-per-view. It is expensive, but the way we do it is that we split it amongst our group. And then we do potluck. So it is a very nice gathering for us.
And I just wanna share to all of you the good thing every time Manny fights. The crime rate back home (Philippines) is down because everybody even the criminals watch it.
I know it is going to be a good match “the good defense and fastness of Mayweather vs the power punch of Pacquiao”
I just want to say good luck to both of them specially to our Filipino pride “People’s Champ” Manny Pacquiao!
Let’s get ready to rumble!!!
