Mom's hands are always full.. and so her heart.



My family is my life. Especially my kids. Like most moms say, I will do everything for my children.

At the age of twenty, I gave birth to my eldest, Five. I have no any idea about being a mother at that time, aside from I need to feed and take good care of my son. Thanks goodness to my mom, for  the one on one hands-on training she gave me. I am so lucky I have her at my side and guided me on my first ever mom life experience.

Just like other new moms, I have struggled doing what's right and be aware of the no no's. Everything is new. So much failures and self doubt. I failed to breastfeed my son. I don't have enough knowledge about breastfeeding that time as well as a support team. But still, it doesn't mean I was a bad mom, right? I did everything I can to become the best mom for my son.

Each day is all about learning and practicing all about motherhood. I am so proud, I was present during those first crawl, first word, first steps, and with his every milestones. I am all alone with him when my husband and my mom were at work. I learned to cook, wash the dishes, do the laundry, clean the house and everything while taking care of him.

There was a time that I feel so exhausted but had no choice but to cry. There were times that I'd almost given up. But every time I look at my son's face, it reminds me that I am a mom. A mom that is tough. A mom that should never give up. A mom that cries but still faces every challenges in life.

I learned a lot with my life being a mom to Five. I am not perfect. But I am more confident with my knowledge and skills as a mom when we were blessed with our second child. I successfully breastfed her for three years and four months. That is a very big accomplishment for me as a mom. I also been through those sleepless nights. Having my hands full all the time, and so is my heart.

I feel loved all the time. I feel very important and special because I am a mom.

Being a mom is a 24/7 responsibility, forever. Your body will get tired, but never your heart. Your children will always fuel you up. They will always be the reason for you to get up each day and continue life being grateful.

Our kids will not be kids forever. Time will pass and we will be surprise they are not this small anymore. So let us enjoy and treasure every moment we have with our kids. Let's not take them for granted. Let's give our best and make them happy and feel loved.

I promised to God, I will take care of my children and do my responsibility as their mom forever. I will love them with all my heart. And they will be my life.

He has risen.

This year's Holy Week here in Metro Manila is the one that made me feel like I am reborn. For after so many years I successfully took the courage to talk to a priest and made a confession heart to heart. I talk to God every night before I sleep, silently. I thank Him for all the blessings we have and for my family's good health and safety, but most importantly, for forgiveness. But I know, a confession with a priest is better. My eldest joined his school's event for their level's first confession and communion. We attend Sunday mass, and he's keep asking me why I am not having a communion. I explained to him that I do not deserve to receive the body of Christ. I told him many times that I must make a confession first. That is why I decided to do it before the Holy Week. I was also able to attend the Last Seven Words during the Good Friday and heard life sharings from different people. Their story moved me. It was my first time and it did a great impact to...

Bungang-araw / Prickly Heat Effective Home Remedies

It's summer. We all know, that bungang-araw/prickly heat is one of the challenges most of us faces during this season. My kids are one of those who suffers from that itchy skin problem. Here's a list of effective home remedies we have tried: Aloe Vera Gel - this one is very effective. We store it in the refrigerator. The cooling effect is very refreshing and it moisturizes the skin.

Very helpful, safe, and effective for the whole family too. Cetirizine - the doctor advised me to give cetirizine to my kids when they have skin problems to relieve the itchiness and prevent the kids from scratching. We use Allerkid for I think almost 10 years now. Avoid scratching. It will make the skin problem worst and open wounds will possibly cause infection. Kids cannot resist the call of scratching ...
