It's Go Green Friday once again. My share for this week is our mugs - an nature-theme mugs which me and my husband got as a pre-wedding gift from a colleague four years ago. Since then it has been our mug - both for hot and cold drinks.

Mine is the green one - a jungle themed mug, while my husband got the blue one with under-the-sea theme. Both came in tin cans also with the same design. Both tin cans are being used by our son Leon as containers of his crayons and knick-knacks.
My husband's folks hails from Cagayan up north. I've never thought I'll be able to reach that far until I met my husband. I've been to Claveria, Cagayan three times already, that was when we were still as a dating couple. Now that we're married, we haven't gone back. We were suppose to go back early this year so that Leon can experience going to beach as it is walking distance from the house. But then, August last year, we found out that I was pregnant, thus, the trip was postponed until maybe later next year, when Maia is fit to travel a 13 hour drive and me being able to act as an alternate driver to my husband who plans to bring the car.
Last Friday, I was reminded by some fond memories of going up north. My third trip to Claveria,Cagayan was with our office friends. We stayed with my soon-to-be MIL for a few days, traveled to Penablanca, Cagayan to visit Callao Cave. Going back to Manila, we made side trips to some interesting sites in Ilocos Norte and Ilocos Sur. One of which is at Pagudpud, stayed there the whole day to experience the beach's fine white sand.
Here with friends at the Pagudpud landmark and the other one with my better-half M. The landscaped marker really catches one's attention when passing along the highway.

While browsing through these photos, I again got myself excited with our plan of going back to Cagayan with our two little angels. Definitely, both of them will enjoy the beach and a more greener environment even for only a few days.

I have a 4-month old baby girl, and since I gave birth to her, I still receive welcome gifts from friends. The most recent one is this pacifier buddy and rattle hatchet.
Though I do not use pacifier with any of my children, I still attached it to her crib as it doubles as a toy...the green frog CROAKS!!!
It helps when Maia is uneasy, just press it's tummy then it makes its noise...at an instant, Maia keeps still wondering where the sounds come from :)
