Baby wearing is definitely an activity for me! An activity and, may I say, a workout in itself. Especially when my 3 month old baby weighs 15lbs. and my 18 month old weighs 25 lbs. Carrying them while walking around is definitely a workout. I always wear my babies. I may not be capable of wearing them both at the same time, but if i could I would! Continue reading
Happy Chinese Luna New Year from MommyFeels celebrating with Chicken Bacolod (SM Sta. Mesa) to everyone! Even if we’re not Chinese nor half-chinese, here in the Philippines, we celebrate this holiday as well. What better way to have a celebration than with food?
“Hello world!” from, the newest addition to my favourite family, baby Noah Nehemiah Yunon Belasco! Isn’t he precious??? My heart melted the day I saw him for the first time, it was like I was being brought back to the time Kheira was just born. I had forgotten how tiny they are the first few weeks out. He was longer though! 21 inches at birth to be exact. Coming from two towering parents; one a professional basketball player, Nic Belasco and a beauty queen, Mafae Belasco Continue reading
*’Ninang’ (n.) is Tagalog((Filipino) for Godmother.
Now that we’ve established that – it’s another first for Kheira! #KheiraDelviFirsts She has officially met every one of her Dad’s-dad’s family! Did that make any sense? After the rush of the holidays, we weren’t quite ready to settle down and put our feet up just yet… there was another visitor we were anticipating to see! “Hi Ninang Aileen! It was great to finally meet you!” ♥
Time really does fly, don’t it? Especially when you meet old friends for play dates instead of night outs. From changing outfits to changing diapers – From drinking beers and poppin’ bottles to feeding milk into baby bottles and pacifiers. Its crazy to see these transitions.
Last weekend we were invited to the birthday celebration of our friend and my husband’s old teammate, Don Dulay, from when he played for Singapore Slingers in ABL (Asean Basketball League). They both met when they were both still single and still playing professional basketball. I can only imagine what they were up to during those times! Aaaahhh… the single life! And now, here they are several years later; Married and with babies!
Don and Glaiza (Don’s wife) have a little baby boy named Dylan. Glaiza and I met when we were both pregnant so this was Kheira and I’s first time meeting baby Dylan and he’s already 7 months old! This was the first time we’re both seeing each other without our bellies. Aaahhh… memories. Sometimes I still miss my big belly (who’s with me??) It actually became an impromptu baby playdate! I was really excited for her to meet Dylan. First play date! Yay!
This was the first time Kheira has interacted with another baby up-close and Dylan was such a delight! Here are some of their cute out-takes from that night…
Trading places real quick because mommy wants a lil boy after Kheira and uncle Don wants a baby girl next!
Dylan is soo sweet trying to hold Kik’s hand♥
I can’t wait until Kheira and Dylan can have an actual play date where we don’t have to hold them up to play with each other! I can just imagine it… both of them in a play pen on soft cushiony play mats helping each other build blocks or play catch with soft (baby approved) playing balls. I said the word ‘play’ about four times (yes, I counted). Is that accurate?? I’m new at play dates so I’m not so sure how to imagine how play dates really go.. (two more times!) Hahaha!
Nevertheless, here we are, now a bunch of parents getting together with our kids, stroller on each of our sides with our big bulky baby bags. It’s another journey in our lives and I don’t think its going to stop there!
Look at us all grown up! This is another journey for all of us and I’m excited! ♥
Be a blessing to others! xx

Yesterday was my better half’s birth day (now my husband). This is the first birthday he celebrated with our Kheira Delvi ♥ So you already know its special…
we had a little impromptu dinner celebration with my dear mother-in-law at Vikings Megamall.
In Vikings, if its your birthday they give you this really sweet birthday greeting cake, and with it, comes a (I wanna say mariachi) band that sings mash-up songs inputting ‘happy birthday’ in the chorus. They’re really fun, though Kheira wasn’t too happy when they came. Well, that and probably because they woke her up from her nap. This year was quite easy to get my hubby a gift for his birthday since NBA 2k16 came out couple of days before his birthday – which he absolutely must have. My plan was to buy the video game, buy a picture frame the same size as the video game and put a real nice family picture of us in it and wrap them both – giving them to him separately. Picture frame first (he will think its the game) and then the actual – wrapped – game, making him think I didn’t get him the game but I actually did. Of course that DID NOT happen. The day it came out (or the next day I think) we happened to be at the mall with his friend and they were discussing on HOW to get the game, because apparently there was a “waiting list” and they were gonna try to see if any of the vendors would sell to them even if they weren’t on the list. Long story short – there was no list. I was afraid the game would sell out, so I bought it that day. So much for my surprise, right? So I came up with another surprise – which was his birthday cake – which I know is one of his favorite cakes 🙂 After his lil’ birthday dinner, me, Kheira and my mother- in-law quickly prepared upstairs – cake, candle and all – while he parked the car. When he opened the door.. tadah! ♥
To Vaughn: It wasn’t much, but I hope we still made you feel extra special on your day. Loving you xx
I have posted on twitter, Facebook and instagram our (Kheira and I’s) birthday greeting. This, however, is NOT a birthday greeting but more of a sentimental note. I’m not trying to be cheesy. I just have a lot of nice things to say about my ‘husband‘ I’m still trying to get used to calling him that, by the way, but I’m overjoyed. Still a little weirded out about it every now and then, but nevertheless still overjoyed. (Hahaha!) We used to say, “we’re in this together” when we hit a bump and it gave me comfort knowing he got my back. Now, I really know what you meant by that. ♥
07.24.15 #MarriedMyBestFriend
You were more than I expected. You made me the person I am today. And I can proudly say (with no shame) that he made me a better person. Because of you I’m a good mother, I’m a better friend and hopefully I will be the best wife. I’m still learning, because let’s face it, this is my first time. This year was, by far, the best year I’ve ever had because of him! It was a lot of ups and downs, emotional and physical hurdles, but we got through it and is still getting through. He is the rock that holds this family together. He was there where I experience the worst depression after my baby girl was born. He kept me inline and assured my feelings through it all; the pregnancy, giving birth and now taking care of the baby. You are my sound mind and my conscience. I couldn’t ask for anybody better!
Thank you for being amazing…
Happy Birthday bb! from your Kheira and Kharla ♥

I love how my baby sleeps. Ever since she was born, I believe that she would show us her personality as early as day one with the way that she would sleep. As a new mom, I couldn’t help but take a few snaps at ‘em… and by a few snaps – I meant A LOT! Here are some snippets of the many faces my lil’ Kheir-bear has been giving us whilst asleep…
How adorable? I wish I know what she’s dreaming about. I’m soo curious! So aside from her adorable faces whilst sleeping – I don’t know if you noticed in the pictures, but her wandering hands also play a major role. Here are more pics of her wandering hands 🙂
I think, all this, she inherited her sleeping ways from her dad. Here are some evidence regarding this theory lol
I know what you’re gonna say – I take waaay too many pictures of my family sleeping. Did I just seem like a creeper mom?But who wouldn’t? Aren’t they just the cutest?? This is why I need more memory on my phone! I wonder what else she got from her daddy!? I Love my family! ♥
I’m sure that each and everyone of us just loves to captures even the little moments. Share some of your amazing memories with me and Kheira. We would love to see some snippets of your lil’ doves in sleeping positions you guys think are funny, interesting or even weird! Comment box below 🙂
Be a blessing to others! xx
