Hi! I’m Maya. I am a chatterbox, a story teller and a conversation starter. I am an eternal enthusiast for love, angels and fairy tales. I believe in the power of a dream and that a little faith can take you a long way. I live in a home filled with enchanting people. I married The Mister, a cuddly polar bear, also known as The Big Friendly Giant by his children. We are proud parents of three wonderful children. M1 is our beautiful fairy princess, a little ballerina/singer/dancer/all of the above in the making. M2 is our little super hero who will change the world someday. And in January 2013, we welcomed our little tough guy, M3, who made us a family of five. We do hugs, cuddles, kisses and we do loud really well. We are planners who try hard to be spontaneous. We celebrate small wins, tiny successes and weave dreams for our babies as we watch them sleep. I started this blog to document the stories that make up our lives - our beautiful dreams, our marriage and parenting journey, our growing faiths, our every adventures, and about living in Jakarta, Indonesia.

“What do you love about me?”

As I searched my brain for the answer, I felt the overwhelming rush of emotions and tears welling up in eyes. Not because I couldn’t find a single one, but I knew that there’s just so much I love about him…

Happy 1st of March to our main man! 🥰🙌🏻 Birthdays are for posting baby photos so here’s one of us 😜 How blessed am I to get to grow old with you, @budhipurnamautomo, and to build a family, a home, and a life that we dearly, dearly love. Thank you for being here and for sharing your life with me ❤️
Finally closing the chapter of my story with @thebodyshopindo The days that led up to this felt a little like reading a book that I didn't want to put down so I can skim and scan my way to the end of it quickly, but at the same time, like I wanted to take my time, to catch my breath in between every paragraph, to savor the emotion in every word.
Gong xi Fa Cai, family and friends! May the year of the rabbit bring you much prosperity, joy and good health! 🐰🏮🐰 Hope you had a great celebration with your nearest and dearest!
Mondays should always be optional like this ✨🥰 #artinstituteofchicago #sheddaquarium #utomosinchicago
Sweet Sixteenth! 🥂❤️ You’re better than the man of my dreams, because you’re the man of my reality… 🧀🤪🧀 but in all honesty, I have never loved you more than I love you today, babe @budhipurnamautomo ❤️ Thank you for making my dreams your own, for having the courage to pursue it even when I’m scared, and for consistently loving me in the process even when I am unlovable. You are my superhero in real life 🥰 and I know that I am better with you! #mayabudhi16
Happy New Year, dear friends! May 2023 be filled with jaw dropping moments that make our hearts sing, as we watch our dreams unfold right before our very eyes, fully convinced that God can do so much more than we’ve ever dared to imagine! He is so good and so faithful, and as we draw nearer to Him this year, may we rediscover how deep and how great is the love He has for us ❤️ #utomosinchicago
