#ABCmousePartner E couldn’t be more excited for @abcmouse. When we logged on for the first time she said, “ABCmouse.com is so cool, Mom!” We have enjoyed exploring the ABCmouse.com and it’s app. E loves it. Not only does she get to dress up her avatar in different clothes or costumes, she gets to learn Math, Reading, Spelling and fun facts for her learning level. We have been focusing on Math these days. She loves doing math mazes and figuring out patterns. She likes agility games too, were kids can quickly “pop” bubbles that have the same number, or have frogs “eat” bugs that have carry letters of the sound she is identifying. This particular game she’s holding up is teaching her count double digits and put numbers in order. If you are looking for a change in online learning during the Stay Home Order, or just need a new app to keep your kids on their toes with different challenges, ABCmouse.com is the way to go and they’re giving away a month’s free trial right now! Go to ABCmouse.com/athome to get your first month free or click the link in bio! #ABCmouseFromHome #LearnatHome

Day 1191: Photo 2. One more @pockyusa photo bc this little girl is turning FOUR in 8 weeks 😱 She’s not so little anymore. Being home with her without going ANYWHERE has taught us 1. She is more capable of independent play than we thought and 2. She is finally in this learning phase where we see she her excited to do “homework” on her own. What is everyone’s favorite go to learning app these days?

Day 1316: “I’m a sava...bro” 😅🙈 Since our last post Lent ended and this crazy pandemic shot up. Tiktok was infiltrated by all the quarantined and stay home ordered families. It’s crazy to think we’re living through history that kids 10 years from now will be learning about in class. I hope everyone has been finding ways to stay mentally healthy in this new normal. Thank you to all our front line workers, essential employees and neighbors doing their part to #flattenthecurve — and extra love to all the teachers and parents who are adjusting to keeping the learning flow going for all the kids in school.

Day 1191: E and @pockyusa in @babybreez is the perfect set 😍. (Pocky sent to us for a previous campaign). @hayleyc reminded me that tomorrow is the start of Lent and this picture reminds me of how my face looked having the first piece of chocolate after lent was over. Idk why I always gave up chocolate, but I did it and always celebrated after with a huge smile like this 😆. Curious to know what you are giving up this season if you do. For me it’s rice, soda and red meat. Pray for me 🙏🏼😅 these are staples in the fam, and it will be so hard to avoid. 💪🏼 hope we can all stay strong and disciplined whatever we do to observe the Lenten Season. Ps: what’s your favorite #pocky flavor? Have you tried the Oreos and Matcha boxes? . . . . . . #kidmodel #seattlekid #pockysticks #pockywithme #pockysweets #chocolatesticks #lent #lentenseason #lent2020 #babybreeze #kidslife #chocolatepocky #pockypartner #seattlefamily #guamkids #chamorrokids #seattlemom #kidssnacks #umh_kids #smileeveryday #documentingspace #tuesdayvibes #toddlerlife #toddlermomlife #toddlerhood #pnwkids #seattlewashington #tuesdaymorning

A photo from Day 847 guys 😍 I remember loving winter when I first moved to the states bc of the winter gear I could finally wear. It def is my favorite time of the year. I fell so in love with jackets that I think I bought E’s first leather one way in advance of her fitting it, bc I couldn’t pass up the deal at @zulily. We got her first boots from @dsw after needing some thicker soles for the season. And that literally is all we needed to dress up for a cute winter *play*date 😆. (That and a hat/scarf thing—Grandma is ALWAYS telling me to cover E’s head when we’re out, so find something that fits your style). What are your favorite accessories for kids in the winter? . . . . . . . . #winterfashion #kidsfashiontrends #minilicious #kidsjackets #kidsboots #leatherjackets #igkidsfashion #ootdkids_ig #kidstyles #fashionkidsworld #igdaily #shefashion #zulily #zulilyfinds #zulilymodel #dswkids #dsw #guamkids #seattlekids #pnwcreators #creators #seattlemom #seattleblogger #mombloggers #microblogger #nanoblogger #seattle

Day 1282: Happy bday to Nina @gbjoy671 🎉 Hope this is the best year yet. Thank you for spending sometime with us around Christmas and getting E her first matching pajama set. I’m so glad she finally met you in person♥️. Ps: I read online that “You will enjoy 2020, especially after spring when the new ventures take on a form quite different than you are used to. You’ll be going beyond your comfort zone, yet be quite comfortable in doing so. You may not see the changes in you but others will and they will be drawn to you and then it will seem that lady luck has arrived with a plethora of income opportunities, new, different, and adventurous.” (Source: https://www.yearly-horoscope.org/2020-horoscopes/pisces/). I hope it is all that and more for you! We love you and hope to see you soon again! . . . . . #godmother #nina #christmasvisit #pisces #piscesseason #pisceswomen #pisces♓ #itsmybday #familymoments #bestiesfortheresties #sinceeversince #guamgirls #guamkids #adaywithella #seattlechristmas #february2020 #februarybaby #godchild #bestfriends #bjjwomen #chamorrita #seattletrip #mixedchick #mixedfamily #targetfinds #targetstyle #inspiredbyanko #seattlelife

Day 1312: You’ve met Avion, now meet Aria! We don’t often share photos of this cutie right here, but wanted to celebrate her again! She’s the youngest in our family and the second Capricorn, so cheers to another #GOAT 😆 She, Avion and E are first cousins, but we see them as brothers and sisters. They learn from each other, get in trouble together 😆 and experience lots of cool things together, like enjoying this double set of @nuggetcomfort. If you have kids with a wide age range like we do, this set is a winner. My brother and sister and I have fun trying to create the “better” slide or fort for them and the kids can roll or slide down our makings for hours if we let them. It’s comfy and sturdy enough for rough play, so they are literally having no fear jumping from one to another or just using the pads as a landing zone or jumping from the couch. It is THE FASTEST way to create a fort without figuring where to tie a bed sheet 😅 we even set it up as a little movie theatre that we’ll have to share next time. What do you do/have to keep kids ages 2-7 in cooperative play? We need more ideas! . . . . . . . . #thegoat #capricornbaby #2ndbday #bdaygirl #kidsbday #babysister #babycousin #cousinsquad #nuggetcomfort #littlenugget #littlenuggetco #nuggetcomfortinspo #littlenuggetnastics #momblogger #pnwmom #guamblogger #seattlekids #pnwkids #umh_kids #letthemexplore #pnwlife #seattlefamily #seattlelife #goatworthy #seattlewa #2020kids #kidsdecor #playroominspo #guamkids

Day 1383.: What better way to say Happy Valentines Day than a family red family photo from Christmas 😅🙈 If you know what #chamorrotime is, then you know why I’m the #chamorrotimeambassador 😬😅 The holidays were fun filled with family, old friends we haven’t seen in years!, new traditions with family and...this awesome day of raising funds for the @trufantfamilyfoundation that we got dressed up for. I turned half way to 40, we celebrated 4 bdays in January and got to spend time in Portland for a weekend. I’m looking forward to the rest of the year. It might be too late for New Years resolutions, but I’m still sharing mine now for accountability: 1. Launch my blog (been literally a work in progress since 2017 😅 thanks @beterny and @hayleyc ❤️); 2. get my health back (2019 was one of the most stressful years work wise and the heaviest year of my life! Looking to get back on track with fitness and see more outdoor/travel things with E); and 3. Finally, help my mom retire by next year🎉 it’s going to happen, guys!) These are big and important things for me and I hope i can share small successes here to keep me motivated. With that said—wishing everyone lots of love and success for 2020 🙌🏼💫 (Ps: If you haven’t seen that link in my bio, go see it. There are tons of good stuff I’ll be sharing CONSISTENTLY now that I’ve got a foot forward ❤️) #seattleblogger #momblogger #trufantfamilyfoundation #santabreakfast #valentinesday #vday2020❤️ #familygoals #chamorro #guamblogger

Day 917: Feeling the holiday spirit with this throwback from last year’s holiday nap time. Hope it puts a smile on your face this Thursday 🎄🥰❄️ 6 days til Christmas 🙈 Anyone else feel like it’s too soon?.

Day 1267: Literally the magic of Christmas right here 🎄♥️ Absolutely love this shot by @courtneyholmesphoto from this year’s @trufantfamilyfoundation Annual Santa Breakfast, where donors raised money for students and communities in need. It will probably one organization our family supports year after year since it is so family oriented in every aspect—from how the idea was conceived to how guests are encouraged to bring their little ones to the event. I’ll put story images later today and a highlight. It was fun: full of entertainment for kids, awesome auction items for adults/big kids 😅 and a great time meeting guests at our table. We had a 12 Days of Christmas Sing Off and I swear Table 28 should have won (I mean, we let all the kids yell at the top of their lungs, so you know it was loud 😆). Extra special thanks to @fabvmom and @marcus_trufant for hosting and Ms. Shayla for the idea 🙌🏼. Do you do Santa Breakfasts? Are there any foundations you give to annually that you just love? Share them with us. We love supporting our community. You can find out more about the Trufant Family Foundation by going to www.trufantfamilyfoundation.com.

Day 1260: Oh, hi! We’re still alive 🙈 A bit MIA bc we caught another cold as a family right after thanksgiving (anyone else get colds in two separate months? Ugh 😫). It was pretty mild on E, and I had the worst of it this time. Super grateful for Lani helping out with E and recommending Eucalyptus oil 🙌🏼 Let me tell you just how much Eucalyptus oil in a diffuser makes life with a cold soooo much better! #nosesaver having it run while you sleep helps you breathe through your stuffed nose so much better than without! Try it. I also learned a few other immune prevention/oil tips from @happydropmama. She taught me how to make #elderberrysyrup from start to finish (see stories and highlights) 🎉 I’ve heard everyone talk about it before, but thought it would be too complicated. IT. IS. SOOOOO. EASY! (Or at least @happydropmama made it so doable for a newbie ☺️). There is also an immune boosting honey recipe that I am loving ♥️. . If you’re not here for my rambling, here’s E looking all grown up in a set from @usaanko and headband from @bonitababy_guam, for some comfy winter wear this Friday. Swipe for the muyu face 😆 and personality. Hope everyone had a great thanksgiving and is enjoying all the Christmas songs !🎄 . Ps: How are we already practically 2.5 weeks away from Christmas?! Christmas photos coming soon. Also, Anyone else fighting off colds?

Day 1172: Missing this time at the end of summer when running around in shorts and asking, “May I bring my purse?” was all E wanted to do when we went out 👜 . About the outfit: @bonitababy_guam’s seashell bag (first step to becoming a mermaid 🧜‍♀️) paired with @usaanko’s romper (true win for under $10!).

Anyone else have lactose intolerance like me? I want and need more plant based options because of my growing intolerance to dairy, and I’m glad I was introduced to @elmhurst1925 Hemp creamer from @sprouts 🙌🏼 AD I love dairy so much, but I can’t handle milk like I used to 😫 I’m kinda proud for finally being consistent in requesting soy or coconut milk in coffee drinks (and also for saying no to whip cream 😅). I’m also excited to try all the dairy alternatives out there. My sister and I headed to MillCreek’s Sprouts to find @Elmhurst1925 Hemp Creamer in the dairy cooler. Interesting that MillCreek’s Sprouts carry it, but Lynnwood’s Sprouts doesn’t. We loved the selection of Original unsweetened creamer, lightly sweetened French Vanilla, lightly sweetened hazelnut and lightly sweetened golden-milk that has a dash of cinnamon. @Elmhurst1925 Creamer is dairy free, free of junk and packed with Omega 3 Fats. If you’ve got to have dairy free creamers, give these a try. Grab them at Sprouts and let me know which flavors you like best! We’re team French Vanilla.
