Hey guys! Missed me?

Been on a blogging hiatus for more than a year! I kind of regret I haven't blogged anything for 2019. Really though, 2019 wasn't such a good year for me. But glad I'm back on track now. Hopefully, I'll be consistent this time.

Changed the blog name yet again. Baby-ik Diaries will always have a special place in my heart, but I realized how most of my blogs are of my thoughts and personal life... so I'll just name the blog "Alyssanity" again. I wonder if anyone noticed the re-rebranding?

I don't think I have readers who still visit this blog... but hey, this space is for keepsake anyway so that doesn't really matter, right? But if anyone still stuck with me even after being MIA for a long while, I want to say thank you for staying. Choss!

Anyway, starting a 2020 blog post with a homemaking blog. I've lived with by-ik for about three years now, and I'm happy to say we now have a place we could call our own. We have actually been living here for more than a year already... and managed to have it renovated so we have our own kitchen and bathroom. It's officially our home!

Having said that, I have been spending most of my time decorating our room and doing crafts while this community quarantine is ongoing. Tough times, and I'm undoubtedly scared, but I have to stay positive for my own sake and mental health. 

Anyway, just to give you a little background. I used to sell pixie lights, fairy clips, and letter boards months ago. And I managed to save three letter boards for myself. A large white board, a black board, and a smaller pink one. So, I've been wanting to hang one of my letter boards on this empty wall above the bed, but then randomly decided I wanted shelves put up instead. Last-minute impulse... very Alyssa. Glad by-ik’s free to help me out. He did most of the work while I watched and cheered him drill those holes 👸🏻 I decorated the shelves myself tho 😁 Not quite happy with how “my decor” turned out but this will do for now. 🥰

Let me show you how the this area looked before there were shelves.

Apart from this, I have also managed to tidy up the room a bit. Organized our DIY open closet and displayed some of my books on top of this repurposed drawer. I just DIY-ed that drawer, by the way. Used floral wallpaper, and installed the handles. It was an impulsive DIY and I wasn't aware it would turn out more than just okay (for me, at least)... Wish I had documented the entire process.

A lot has actually changed with how our room looks as of this writing. I'll have all the changes documented in the next entries! Anyway, this turned out like a mini room tour. Nevertheless, I'm glad to have something to update this blog. :)
