Hi! My name is Nenette AM, but you can call me Nen. I'm a Canada-raised Filipina, mum, wife, lifestyle blogger, former hula instructor, and recovering engineer.
I love sci-fi, assorted sashimi, and soft hula sarongs. I loathe mosquitoes, -30C windchill, and the word "moist".
Want to know more? Here are 100 things.
I write...
- about life, food, design, eco-awareness, music, natural beauty, healthy living, celebrity stalking, and the occasional smattering of math to demonstrate that I'm more than just a mom -- while I talk about how adorable and funny my kids are.
- about all the sweet and wonderful things I've been doing to make my life better, stronger, faster. (Cue the Six Million Dollar Man theme.)
- to share stories of
drunken debaucheryinnocent fun my funky girlfriends and I occasionally enjoy. - to let my friends and family know that I'm still alive, and that I haven't eaten my children or left my husband for my pretend boyfriend Gerard Butler.
I try to write almost everyday, but if I miss a day or two, it's because I think you need to do some work, read a book, or maybe go to the bathroom. But, mostly because of, you know, the whole 'Busy Mom' thing.
So, anyways, welcome to my little online home. Comment and/or email me -- I love getting both.

the fine print.
I write a lot about my health and fitness journey. I also do A LOT of research - however, my background is in software design/engineering, not medicine. So, please be sure to see your health care professional before you try anything I'm trying for myself.
I also apologize for any overuse of the word "really".

Without these people, my blog would look entirely different...
