No two 🦓 have the same stripes. Have always been fascinated with these creatures and was super excited to introduce them to Elian and let him see them closely wandering around. 🦓🦓🦓 This one’s a nice first safari experience for kids when you can’t go to Africa yet 🙃

It was sunset and we were heading for dinner and rushed off as I wanted to get a glimpse of their famous sunset for my birthday. When he saw the beach he ran towards the ocean, asked to take off his shoes and wanted to swim and bury his feet in the sand. 😁 simple joys with our #DearestElian 👪 p.s. he still misses Bali and asks to go back. 🇮🇩

This girl and I. We are night and day and born 10 days apart. We were kids together, teens together then now moms together. 👧🏻👩🏻👩‍👦 Happy Birthday @carlasuiza love you always and let’s be lolas together too!!! 👵🏻👵🏻😅 Thank you for being my impromptu model for @bub.and.weave 🤣

And so it has been a year already since I started @bub.and.weave thank you to all those who helped and continue to support my lil passion project! 💚 2 years of #breastfeeding my baby (now toddler) led me to designing and making my own clothes and now I do it for other moms to help them still feel pretty (and be confident) throughout their #breastfeedingjourney 🤱. I still wear my designs though even if I’ve weaned him off for 8 months now because our styles are versatile for any stage of #motherhood ☺️ in photo: the Serena in white coming soon for our holiday collection ⛄️💙👩‍👦 #mommydiaries #mompreneur #bubandweavemum #womenemopoweringwomen

“Mama, let’s build a snowman.” And when you can’t build a snowman, #bubblebath nalang anak! 🤣 his version of being Olaf 😅 // Current movie obsession: #Frozen (after McQueen & Lion King, discovered recently because of his Ate Stelley) Current fave song on loop: Do you want to build a snowman? ⛄️ my #DearestElian at 2.9 yo ☺️💙 #motherhood #mommydiaries #lifewithatoddler #frozenfever

Elian the Equestrian. First independent 🐎 ride. 💙 his first ever horse ride was on his first birthday in Tagaytay, then a few months ago in Baguio, then now not even 3 yet and he no longer needs Mama or Dada to ride with him. I thought I was gonna ride with him until he’s about 5 or 6. 😭 @elianfrancescothomas.co #bigboyna #growinguptoofast #DearestElian #ElianExplores #Bali @desavisesa

Just had to share this unique find in Ubud. Our villa is set within a jungle and overlooks a river and to enter it we have to go down 2 flights of stairs. It’s amazing and huge (it came with a king bed, double bed and a baby cot which Elian loved because it made him feel like a baby again 😆, jacuzzi, etc etc), and the resort had all the relaxing greenery I wanted and all the activities for families and kids (horseback riding, animal feeding, spa within a cave!!) etc. etc. and I only wished we could have stayed longer to enjoy it all. When I was choosing places for us to stay, comfort and convenience were my key considerations since it’s our first time and we were bringing our toddler. And this place turned out to be a perfect (reasonably priced) choice. They also provide free shuttle to Ubud center and free photography for guests!! Thank you @desavisesa for the amazing first experience of Bali! We’ll definitely be back! 💚🇮🇩

Elian tonight: “Mama’s hair smells like gang-gang (sinigang), Daddy’s hair smells like banos (labanos), my hair smells like sitaw. “ Just 4 days of traveling and eating Indonesian food (pasta for him) he is already missing and dreaming of his favorite food - his Noona’s sinigang! @bokya48 🤣🤣 but as always, our little boy has been such a trooper during this whole time, happily experiencing diff places, cultures and meeting diff people. 😁 #DearestElian #ElianExplores 💙

There’s just something about mornings in Bali that makes you wish it can go on and on 🇮🇩 hard to decide if we’ll stay-in or explore Ubud sights 😅

Meeting Dumbo 🐘 For my birthday, I wanted to bathe an elephant and let Elian play with them in an elephant sanctuary but Elian has to be 8 years old to do it so we fed them instead. At first he was afraid to get close and couldn’t stop laughing each time we’d try 😄 In the end, he enjoyed it so much he did it 3x. 😅💙🐘 #gentlegiants #elephant meets #DearestElian #ElianExplores #Bali

E & E’s first trip to 🇮🇩👩‍👦🎂 #DearestElian #ElianExplores

My kind of greens early in the morning 🌿💚🌿
