After more than 7 days, my son is back home with me. I was tired all day and when he went to sleep, I was supposed to take a nap, but couldn't fall asleep, as I was too excited over the fact that I get to see him again. β₯οΈ so I made coffee and decided to spend my evening tired, happy and in full mama bear mode. Moms are weird like that.

To most people, this kind of pic may look ordinary, in a "you work in the dark, so what?" kind of way?
But for me, it represents a lifestyle of making it work.
What people don't see in the background is a tiny corner of the room that's clean at the end of the day if I need to record something for tomorrow, whereas the rest is a mess that I'll deal with in the morning.
They don't see a sleeping toddler who I try to not wake up as I work, but being his mom's shadow π
I still have t...
People think that having lights in the background is a very "streamer" thing to do, but little do they know that I've been fighting to keep those lights up all year long since before I could put my requests in a proper sentence π having the opportunity to work in such a soothing environment makes me so happy. I love lights so much.

This week has been a bit quiet content-wise as we've been battling a bad cold, but taking some time to self-care has proven to be the best solution.
So far we're having an amazing weekend on Live βΊοΈ aaand I got to bake, too!! π§
How's your weekend going?
Starting to realize we'll soon be needing a bigger jar for all the games I wanna play π
Any wishes/ideas on what you'd like to see me play through?
Not sure who needs to hear this, but burnout - no matter what you do - is real. When you use tasks that have piled up, it's hard to believe that all you need is to take it easy, enjoy a day off, a good nap, or whatever it is that makes you feel better.
We all deal with it sometimes.
And sometimes, it's better to "lose" a day on self-care than a week or Δore on recovery.
Look after yourself first. β₯οΈ
So a little update from the latest post - we're all just fine. No one ended up contracting covid except for grandma, who is successfully recovering. We were sick, but it was just a flu, so it's all good.
This is how we've been working on getting over it though π₯°
The past 24 hours have been really scary. π This morning, we found out that grandma (who hung out with my son over the weekend) has tested positive for covid. It's so early for us to test, yet we've been somewhat sick even before their time together. As someone who's suffering from autoimmune disease, I'm freaked out. I'm just trying to keep it together for the sake of my family and my job, knowing well most likely be fine as we're vaccinated. Still.. avoiding this for two years, only to b...

I guess this is how parents of the 21st century store their children's first art pieces π Imagine my surprise when I was scrolling through my gallery, only to find what somewhat looks like a picture of tiny feet with a lot of feelings around them π

In the past few weeks, staying awake has been a struggle, as I didn't have a habit of sleeping uninterruptedly for 7-8 hours. Instead, I'd sleep for 2-3 hours at a time, and it became too exhausting. π
I am now back to going to bed when I put my toddler to sleep (around 7pm) and unapologetically sleeping until 2am or so. I haven't felt this rested in a long time. βΊοΈ
Also.. I get to witness gorgeous sunrises from our rooftop. I'd say it's worth it.
Mom of the year move. I somehow manahwt to get my child hooked onto the Cuphead show π€£ I was a bit anxious at first as I thought he might find it scary, but this is all he wants to watch now. God forbid I skip the intro song too π

This little guy has the nerve to grow faster than I can blink. His first day on Earth feels like yesterday. Today, he's 3. πβ€οΈ The bittersweet heartbreak of them growing too quickly is beginning to hit hard.

Can anyone tell me how a 3 year old is able to climb a full-sized bike and sit into his back seat on his own? Cause I sure didn't see how he got there π #momoftheyear

After months of anticipation, delayed documents, anxiety over the state of the world (I legitimately thought they were gonna close the skies worldwide at one point π’), one of my favorite people on the planet has arrived π·πΈβ₯οΈ
This week has been a little hectic when it comes to setting Luneth up with all the documents, residency requirements, job interviews and whatnot, but I'd like to think I'm back on the channel and in full strength πͺπ» lots of fun content coming up ...
Got myself a ride today! π€©
As I'll be having to take the kiddo to daycare by myself, instead of going by bus every day (and walking for ages after we get off), I figured biking would be the better option.
Well.. all there is to do now is wait for the next month and ration our food ππ bikes are not as cheap as I remember lol!
Ive been trying pretty hard to feel better and finally get over this cold π but the more I do, the more determined my body gets to send me on some redemption journey.
Today, it decided to put me in a 14 hour coma and everyone thought I died (I couldn't hear my phone even though it was on). I also missed my own stream. So there's that.
It literally won't forgive me getting 2 hours of sleep a day this week. Even though the body knows we've had a sick toddler to take care of.
Just wanted to say a massive thank you to everyone who's been supporting the channel lately. β€οΈ You're the reason why I was able to replace my old mic that broke down in record time and continue making the content you deserve. There's so much to come this year and I'm so excited to share all the plans and projects I've set into motion βΊοΈ but for now... Thank you. For everything

After only a few days in daycare, the little guy caught a bug and has been struggling since. On Friday, he felt better, but he's back to having trouble sleeping due to fever and congestion. π
At first we thought it was just a bug, but I didn't get as sick (never had any fever at all, and I normally do). Dad also has no symptoms whatsoever, and the little guy has been with him since Friday, which is also unusual.
Him and I are both triple vaccinated, making me think this is mo...
I don't normally accept paying for outrageously expensive coffees at cafes π but it's a rare opportunity that I have an hour to kill.
My son started daycare this week ππ and I've been leaving him there for short amounts of time as a part of the adaptation program.
To be honest, he's taking it a lot better than me π the teacher says he doesn't even notice I'm gone lol. I'm starting to feel really grateful for these 3 years that we had together at home. I can't believe...
As a child, I used to have the similar kinds of rooftop windows in the house I grew up.
This time, I live in a building, but the inexplicable feeling of being home because of the way my windows are tilted is definitely present. π
How about an in-between one? π

I should've been better these days.
A better mom, better friend, better person, and a better self-care taker.
I should've been getting more sleep, more water, more food. And I should've been staying away from the news, at least for a bit, to save the pieces of sanity I still own.
Seeing what's happening is breaking my heart π but the way I am is of little importance, and fades in comparison to how all those wonderful, brave and fierce people are fighting to protect their homes...
I think I'm going a little overboard with the kid's room's decorations, but at this point I cannot be stopped π
This morning, we put up all his new stickers. He spent all day standing next to the wall and touching the 3D ones π His reaction was enough to make my day!! π

Oh gosh.. it's one of those evenings when everything's telling you that ready-made pastry full of carbs and sugar is a bad Idea, but your toddler is asleep, you can't make noise, are on the clock and drowning in work...
And you say to yourself, fudge it π you bake, eat half of the tray, and choose to never look back.
Except in the morning. When you realize that's your breakfast, too.
I finally got around to decorating my son's room with some glow-in-dark stickers. We've got two different kinds, which admittedly bothers me, but luckily their glow is pretty much the same in the dark. I'm loving the angled ceiling for the night sky!! π

It might not be much at the moment, but for our first FFXIV cooking stream in the new place, this setup has served me just fine βΊοΈ
I'm looking forward to improving and upgrading as time goes by, but for now, I'm happy we've got our Saturday's foodie time back!
Super excited to announce that I'll be working with ESN as one of their creative partners!
I've been looking forward to this cooperation as they truly care about us gamers and our wellbeing... See for yourself!

A little update after moving and settling in π took a few days for us to get comfortable and put all our stuff away, but this place is finally starting to feel like home! π Also, I'm having the Internet people tomorrow and will most likely continue streaming uninterruptedly this weekend!

Hiya!
After testing the pilot version of my livestream schedule, I realized that it's not only overly ambitious, but also quite inconvenient π Therefore, I present to you - the reworked (and hopefully final) version of my foreseeable future on live.
My content has gone far less spoilery as I'm finished with the Endwalker MSQ, so hopefully these activities and content will be a lot more community-friendly for the time being!
See you... on weekends! π
