MOMS show how creative they can be!

FAM PICS! I've read about this fun photo-sharing activity of PMN 30 minutes before the deadline for the first theme. So unlucky me! Similar to Photo Hunters, a participant or a member of Pinoy Moms Network submits a photo that is home or family related, original and owned by the member posting it based on a monthly theme. This will be one of the regular activities (other than Weekend Herb Blogging and Royal Foodie Joust) Our Taste Of Life will be joining in. It was just unfortunate the 30 minutes was not enough to come up with an initial entry. I have something in mind that will fit the "Glossy" category. However, I don't want my post to appear something like hurried so I decided not to submit my supposed to be first entry. Now, I'm posting it here in our site. I'll make sure the next themes will be included in my calendar of activities. Cheers! to the Pinoy Moms and may the creative juices flow abundantly!

One of Life's Many Firsts

These are pictures taken from my daughter's 1st birthday party. Our excitement in celebrating Sofie's birthday is as "glossy" as her birthday cake and balloons. Although we celebrated it simply and exclusive to family members only, we still had the typical party snippets. Me and my husband got busy coming out with a theme, preparing our menu plan, thinking of party games to play, basically everything for an all DIY concept.

Sofie is the first grand daughter for both clans. Thus, all are excited to celebrate her birthday. We know she's too young to fully comprehend what's happening on that day, yet somehow, in

some way, part of the event brought a glow in her life. And it will forever be remembered maybe not by her but by all the people who love her and those who've shared with her special day. We sure have our own many "firsts" in our lives. And more often than not, we want to celebrate it all out! As others would say, because it shall pass only once we better make the most out of it! It doesn't matter how simple or extravagant it may be, what's important is we have it shared with our loved ones.
