Christmas of 2007, I was 19 years old when my then boyfriend, Mike, knew he wanted to marry me. Instead of giving me what most teenage girls would like to get as a gift, probably shoes, make-up or a bag, he gave me an old book. There I was thinking I should break up with… Continue reading The Promised Spouse
It’s has been a challenging 2 full years (and counting) since I didn’t have a helper. Last year, Mike and I decided to look for a maid in hopes of finding someone who would make my life as a hands-on-stay-at-home mom easier. After a few tries and emotional stress brought by this hunting, we found… Continue reading Home Management
How you perceive your son’s future describes how you are raising them today. It’s fathers’ day and all I can think about is Miguel’s behavior. While out for dinner last week, all he ever did was to touch everything he sees. He was like Spiderman with his reflexes that whatever the waiter puts on our… Continue reading Sons and Fathers

Sometimes I look at my posts… Continue reading Behind that Selfie is a Troubled Mom – A Tale of Her Struggles
If you give happiness to people, you give glory to God as well. Let’s talk about passions.

I… Continue reading Profit From Your Passion
Hey you! You deserve to be beautiful at any given day! Happy International Women’s Day! ❤
Every marriage has its bumpy roads. Our parents can easily say “we’ve been there!” without you even finishing your story as to why you were crashing on their couch one weekend. Mike and I had a bad start this 2017 too. After being tired during the holidays, he got sick for days and got sour… Continue reading Have a New Husband in 14 Days!
What do parents feel when it’s time to send their kids to college or when their kids decide to get their own place and they no longer see them everyday? Moreover, how does it feel to give away your child in marriage? I am way far from this scenario but just this weekend my 7-year-old daughter brought… Continue reading You Can’t Keep Them Forever
