Can you even imagine that it’s been a year already since I gave birth to my lovely little daughter?? I can’t.
Time is so fast and every single day, I can’t help but to just feel so incredibly blessed and happy to be this little angels Mum. I know its sooo cheesy and super common lines like there’s nothing new there but that’s what I feel and I will always be proud of being a Mum – of being my children’s Mum.

This time, we are celebrating Victoria. She turned O-N-E and we celebrated her very first birthday in Mandal – that’s where my parents-in-law’s summer cabin is.
The whole family was there including her Grandparents, Aunt, Uncle and cousins. Sadly, both her brothers Julian and Sebastian still couldn’t make it because of the travel restrictions and difficulty getting out of Malaysia but we are very much looking forward to having them with us soon and we will have another reason to have another celebration!
I made her a banana cake with some frosting which she loved so much – its probably from the sweetness of the banana (LOL!) and I made a ready mix chocolate cupcakes for everyone with our afternoon coffee.
It wasn’t as grand and festive as what my culture has been used to but it was very intimate, relaxing and full of love and memories – just like all the first birthdays of all my kids – just how I like it!
