Setiap hari ada saja jokes-jokes jayus yang Papa Ara lontarkan, baik ke saya maupun ke Azka dan Khalif. Salah satunya ia bersenandung lagu lawas dari Bimbo dengan menggubah setitik lirik menjadi “Ada anak beratnya kayak Bapaknya”, lalu dia terkekeh-kekeh sendiri. Kemudian diikuti jadi penasaran sama keseluruhan lirik dan ingin dengarkan lagunya, jadilah ia menyetel YouTube.… Read More Ada Anak Bertanya Pada Bapaknya
Di awal himbauan untuk #dirumahaja, hal yang pertama saya lakukan adalah membangun ritme di rumah untuk menghadapi the new normal supaya anak-anak juga gak kaget dengan perubahan mendadak ini. Saya posting di Instagram Story kurang lebih seperti ini – bisa dicek juga di Sorotan/ Highlight pada Instagram saya @chiceniza. Memasuki minggu ke-5 untuk #dirumahaja, ritme ini… Read More Sebuah Refleksi – #DiRumahAja Minggu ke-4
This is our 5th winter, and been an exceptional one compare to the previous years. One of the odd: the first snowfall occurred on October, the day after Halloween and one time during November (still autumn). After that, probably one or two times during December – even during Christmas week, all we got in our… Read More Winter Storm Juno

It’s hard to write something meaningful and positive when your mind is into something that is so daunting. I’ve meant to recap about this year’s highlights and plans in 2015, but my mind goes to AirAsia QZ8501 passengers and crew… (and other sad news that swirl around in the news). So I will just post some of… Read More The Bird, The Sky, and End of The Year
Okay, maybe I’m over excited about this year’s autumn (this could be our last year autumn in here, just let’s hope not :p), if last year I was obsessed with the array colors of autumn leaves, this year my obsession is pumpkin…! Gee, I’ve never been so excited about going to pumpkin patch over and over… Read More Pumpkins, Pumpkins, and More Pumpkins…!
This year Idul Adha felt a lot more festive than the previous years – though in 2013 we celebrated it with Angke, Igun and Rakeem, in 2012 we had Dita stayed with us for 2 nights. This year we celebrated it in three different places. After we did our Ied Prayer at Masjid Al-Ehsan, we went… Read More Idul Adha in The Beginning of Autumn
There are two reasons why I love October so much: the leaves and trees at its most beautiful form in New Bedford (and New England region), the Halloween spirit is here (I just love seeing pumpkins, Halloween decorations, and people wearing weird and silly costumes). But this year I have more than two: I got to see my… Read More My Favorite Time of The Year is Now
Well, that’s the longest title I’ve ever posted in this blog! Autumn is here with rainy days in the past week and odd weather, talk about some days it was already 2 Celsius in the AM and some other days was like 23 Celsius. I wish I could stop complaining about the continuous odd weather that… Read More Some Memories – Not To Be Forgotten Along Summertime
Terakhir kami pergi road trip berempat adalah dua tahun yang lalu – bersama Akiya dan Eni ke Niagara Falls. Ketika itu Khalif masih berusia 1.5 bulan (!). Setelah dipikir-pikir nekat juga ya bawa bocah masih merah – pergi jalan darat yang memakan waktu tempuh sekitar 14 jam (akibat nyasar dan banyak berhenti). But we made… Read More Maine Road Trip
