Top 5 Wishes For My Son
Merry Christmas! Yes, it’s Christmas today and looking at social media posts, I saw a lot of ‘What’s your wish?’ or ‘What do you want to receive?’ Instead of asking that to myself, I wrote the top 5 wishes I have for my son when he grows up and can decide for himself. That he accepts Jesus as his Lord and Savior Accepting Jesus as his Lord and savior is a guarantee that he will be saved and have eternal life in Heaven. Isn’t this the best wish one could ever have for their children? Not good deeds, not good words, and not just going to church will save us.…

Baby Discovery Day in Watsons
It was 9 AM last December 16 when I saw a post in a mommy group about an exclusive invite from Johnson’s for a Baby Discovery Day in Watsons. I hesitated at first since it will be in Watsons Manhattan Cubao and the event is at 1:30 PM on the same day. But hey, it’s Johnson’s in Watsons so there’s nothing else to think about because I’m a fan of both. So yes, I signed up. Caleb and I had a great time with the First Time Moms Pinas and other #WatsonsMoms attendees. It was a fun and exciting day for us moms, as Watsons announced that they now carry baby…

But today, I will share with you the benefits that I am getting from being a work at home mom. 1. More Time with Family I started freelancing in 2016.

10th Baby, Kids, and Family Expo PH
My First Expo as a Mom When I received the invitation for the 10th Baby, Kids, and Family Expo PH, my heart leaped for joy as this would be my first event as a mom. However, we don’t have a helper to take care of my baby and going to events like this is hard because we now live in the province. But, seeing the list of Exhibitors and the Schedule of Activities, I told myself I will never miss this. Good thing, my husband volunteered to take care of our toddler while I’m out. Besides, I have never been out without my baby for a while now. 10th Baby…

Why Am I Blogging?

The Joy I Felt When I Found Out I’m Pregnant
It was a busy week in my world of freelancing and I am having a normal change of attitude when I’m expecting my period. I have a 25-28-day cycle but I freaked out when I missed Day 1 last March 2016. The thought of being pregnant came to mind. We were married for 10 months then and was not really trying to conceive, be pregnant. I told my husband that I missed my period. As we wait for the right time to check, we had this mixed emotion of fear, excitement, and what-ifs letting the days pass by. I took the test after 7 days. March 26, 2016 (we slept…
