The outfit I wore to a movie night with the husband after a 9.5 month cinema hiatus. (Yes selama itu gak nonton bioskop. Nonton Endgame aja baru minggu lalu 😅). Now I’m curious. If you didn’t know me and you had met me that day, would you have thought I was a mom of 1 🤱🏻 or a college student on a night out 👱🏻‍♀️? #clozetteid #ootd #momblogger

I think that everyone deserve to be happy. Especially mom. I have never knew before how much change we experience as a mom, until you become one. For me to be happy is as easy as look decent like get my hair done.

But heey don't worry new moms! I'll tell you. It took 1 year for me to have the energy to just care about my looks.

Take time to get your nail done, or just 1 hour massage and scrub, or blow your hair, if you have that short me time, do it! Even after that you just stay at home and not going anywhere, its fine, you'll definitely feel good and your husband will too! 😙

Look good, feel good. Don't you agree?

Why it is important that moms take time (or be given time) to dress up and self-pamper.

Some people say we gotta look nice for our husbands, because “men fell in love thru their eyes” atau kasarnya laki-laki lemah di mata. That’s fine, if that works for you, no judgment here. Me, I don’t wanna put that kind of pressure on myself. (Sorry husband 😛, but bear with me and you’ll see what I mean). For me, dressing up is important because it makes me happy. Looking nice and gathered puts me in a good mood. And when I’m happy, I’m better equipped to play my role as a wife and a mother. When I’m happy, I radiate joy in our household; and my husband and kid will be better taken care of.

Note that “looking nice” does not always mean wearing some statement dress you’re not really comfortable in, putting on a full make-up or even getting mani-pedi. Whatever works for you! If a full-on make up makes you feel your best, great. If merely putting together a cute outfit gets you there, awesome. The point is: know what you need (usually it’s what we used to do when we were younger and before we had kids) and give yourself time to do it.

In fact, this encouragement applies to other activities as well. Cooking, reading, traveling, exercising, even working. Make time for any activity you’re passionate about or fond of. I emphasize dressing up and pampering in this post simply because it’s one of those activities we girls like to do but often feel bad for making “too much” time for while we have a baby to tend to.

I say all this because as mothers our instinct is to put another person’s (i.e. baby’s) happiness first, and with the gazillion baby needs we tend to get caught up in a mess and forget about our own needs. So here’s a reminder to you: 🔆 Be happy first, so you can grow a happy family. 🔆

I feel like I’m more productive as a work-from-home mom than I ever was before Owen was born and I worked at the office. Sekarang saking banyaknya yang harus dikerjakan, aku sampai download app untuk to-do list. Di app itu sekarang udah ada beberapa list: general to-do list, groceries list, to-buy-for-Owen list, to-prepare-for-travel, to-review list, and work-related list. Kalau kata kak @metharani , beginilah golongan darah A suka semuanya rapi, dikotak2in, dibikinin daftar. 😛 Well aku sebenernya gak serapi itu sih, malah cenderung berantakan (ask my husband hahahaha). Tapi kalau aku sampai udah bikin list begini berarti udah banyak banget on my plate dan kalau gak dicatetin pasti ada yang kelupaan.

Setiap hari selalu ada aja item baru yang masuk ke to-do list, tapi setiap hari juga puji Tuhan bisa mencentang beberapa hal sekaligus. Jangan pikir ibu yang kerja dari rumah itu leha2 ya. Kita cuma lebih deket sama kasur aja, tapi kesibukan mah sama aja. 😀

Tapi aku bersyukur setiap hari selalu ada kesibukan dan setiap hari diberikan kekuatan untuk selesaiin satu per satu. Bersyukur at the end of a day aku selalu merasa produktif dan puas dengan hari itu. Bersyukur bersyukur bersyukur 🙏🏻 #workfromhomemom #clozetteid #ootd #ootdindo #mamadaily #momblogger

When I think of you, my heart smiles. It smiles so much that the smiles comes out in my face, as well. You give me joy. You give me peace. And you give me a feeling that I am valued. Happy birthday to my favorite man, my kids first love, on this entire Earth!... #husband #birthday #clozetteid #banyuwangi #indonesia #wonderfulbanyuwangi

Today at church the preacher talked about how marriage isn’t easy. Both husband and wife must put in efforts supaya bisa terus rukun, karena kalau ada kerukunan di situ Tuhan akan perintahkan berkat buat kita. Happy Sunday y’all!

Nonton video parodi #instagramboyfriend sukses buat ngakak sekaligus kasian. Mereka rela fotoin sambil delosoran, manjat pohon, nyelem di aer, naik ayunan. Fotografer pro aja kalah. Luar biasak 👏⁣⁣Buat kalian yang pasangannya bukan tipikal instagram boyfriend atau instagram husband. Tenang, kalian ngga sendiri kok. ⁣⁣Ada tips buat kalian 👌🏻⁣⁣1. Sebelum minta tolong udah tau duluan, mau pose gimana, mau ambil dari sudut mana. Jadi waktu di poto udah bener-bener siap, sekali jepret selesai.⁣⁣2. Waktu bilang minta tolong fotoin, bilang aja, "sekali jepret aja plis.." sambil senyum paling manis ya. Biar tambah manis selesai poto ajakin makan es grem.⁣⁣3. Selalu bekal tripod kemana mana ⁣⁣4. Kalo pasangan udah bener-bener gak mau, latih anak buat ambil alih tugas bapaknya 🤭⁣⁣Udah gitu aja, ada tips lain mungkin.. ⁣⁣Fyi, foto di atas di ambil sekali jepret 😊 #hootd #clozetteid
