We just started mowing the grasses in\u00a0backyard yesterday, too&#8211; something new for us who never had a backyard to begin with while living in Singapore for 7 years (almost 3 years for Pixie). But it&#8217;s fun to learn new things around especially when Pixie loves to get involve most of the time. While I&#8217;m learning to mowe, she helps out with her <a href=\"https:\/\/instagram.com\/p\/7B0aH3OPIU\/?taken-by=josephinesicadminerva\">own pink rake<\/a> that we bought for her. Funny that I remember growing up with a backyard in Cebu where I had my childhood days but guess what? I was the laziest who&#8217;d escape chores mostly and only preferred to play in the neighbourhood. Now that I&#8217;m raising my own daughter, all I could think now is wishing I remember how to plant veggies and raise chickens like what\u00a0my own parents used to do for a living. I hope and pray though that Pixie will grow up better than I did. And well, never too late for me to relearn things,too. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, sharing some more travel photos I took from\u00a0a quick weekend trip at Port Macquarie recently in July. It&#8217;s located midway between Sydney and Brisbane with a population probably less than 100,000 (?) and surrounded with so much of nature, oooh-divine beaches and driving down sunny roads with zero traffic. So since stepping into that lovely part of NSW, it made me contemplate where to move next should we decide in the distant future to get\u00a0farther away from Sydney. I blame you for this Lanie, I blame you!

Straight away, I said YES of course! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>For privacy matters, I won&#8217;t be posting the photos from that project though but instead, sharing few photos I took while we visited a nearby beach for their charming\u00a0dogs to play.<\/p>\n<p>But first, you need to meet my dog soul-mate &#8212; Kenjo. Just look at him. Just one stare, and you know it. \ud83d\ude42 And why dog soul-mate? Coz I just found out we have the same birthdays!!! Oh how i miss you now Kenjo&#8230;.and yes Keisha, too&#8230;and yeah okay, you,too Lanie &amp; Paul! I sure miss ya all! Definitely coming back!
