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
Tahun 2018 merupakan tahun yang tak terlupakan, tentu saja alasan utamanya adalah kepergian Ardha yang juga memberi banyak saya merefleksikan kembali banyak hal dalam diri saya – terkait hubungan dengan keluarga dan orang-orang terdekat. Termasuk di tahun ini saya melakukan perjalanan ke Yogyakarta bersama Khalif karena ingin mengejar nonton Pesta Boneka (12-14 Oktober 2018). Pesta Boneka… Read More Mengejar Pesta Boneka #6
Suddenly it’s May and my babies are turning 5 and 3 in the next couple of days…! *WHAAAAT*. Will talk about that in a separate post, but I’d say I’m glad the weather is finally getting warmer today..! And since Mba Esti, Mas Afif and their children (Abby and Shafwa) visited us from Newport, we… Read More Warmer Days Are (Finally) Here
After 744 days, we decided to end our special time together.. As much as I love breastfeeding you, Khalif, but I believe by weaning at this age, would be the best decision for you and me. You’ll be more independent, eating more various taste of solid foods, and sound asleep through the night. Sehat selalu ya,… Read More Weaning
Tanggal 1 Juni kemarin, Khalif berulang tahun yang ke-2. Tidak ada rasa galau dan gamang yang saya rasakan seperti ketika Khalif berulang tahun yang pertama, walau pastinya pikiran “I can’t believe he’s two already” terus bergema di kepala setiap kali saya melihat si anak mungil ini. Dan setelah beratus-ratus kali menyanyikan lagu “Selamat Ulang Tahun”, saya baru sadar mengapa lirik… Read More The Greatest Gift
Happy Mother’s day for you who celebrate it…! As for me, I didn’t get my me time, massage, flowers, or whatsoever, in fact it was a busy time that day since we had a little celebration for Azka and Khalif with our Indonesian friends. On Saturday, I cooked nearly 9 hours straight, without resting my legs… Read More Syukuran
To be honest, I’m not a cat person. I don’t find them cute and I feel like to press ‘unshare’ button every single time I see someone over-posting about their cats in Path. But this one is the exception. I love these cats! I’m talking about this music video from Disney’s classic ‘The Aristocats’. This movie is under-appreciated… Read More Everybody Wants To Be A Cat
Sedang santai berempat: Ibu: “Khalif ganteng banget yah…. Ya, A ya?” (meminta persetujuan Aa) Azka: “Enggak ganteng….!” Papa: “Ah, masa ga ganteng…. Cakep ya Khalif…!” Azka: “Gak cakep, gak ganteng…!” Papa dan Ibu bingung. Ibu: “Ah, jadi apa dong… Ganteng dan cakep ah..!” Azka: “….. He is adorable” Papa dan Ibu “Awwww” moment. Beberapa… Read More Percakapan
I have bunch of simple lists that I want to do at least once a year, i.e: watch the sunrise in South End of New Bedford ( I’m not a morning person, I woke up daily at 7 AM – with my dearest living alarm: Azka), have a morning walk at the nearest park, afternoon jogging near… Read More Go outside – Happiness is Maximized at 13.9°C
People tend to answer their birth month as their favorite month, but not for me. I’m never really sure when. But after 3 years in here and experience change of the seasons, I am pretty sure that October is my most favorite month after all – of course, Autumn will be my favorite season. It’s… Read More ….And It’s Almost the End of October
