You wanna break a generational curse? Start by giving your kids the right to tell you when something you're doing is hurting them, without being defensive or dismissive. Listen with an open heart and a willingness to grow, because real change begins with acknowledging the pain that’s been passed down. Create a safe space where they feel valued and heard, where their feelings are not just acknowledged but respected. By doing this, you’re not only breaking the cycle of hurt but also teaching them that love is about understanding, compassion, and mutual respect. This is how you build a legacy of emotional healing and strength that will carry through generations.

Early library day this week to return borrowed books. I lost this little man while I’m resting from chasing him and found him more behaved and quiet at adult books section. 😩

Malibog ko kung malipay ba ko na nag behave sya diri, or mabalaka nga murag nagdali sya mudako. lol

This made me cry.. cuddling my baby and putting him to sleep while reading this now..

When you first have children they talk about the challenges of parenting....the struggles of a baby waking in the night, the toddler who won't stay in their bed, the cost of childcare, injuries from sports...

Having to take off work to pick them up from school when they don't feel well, helping them with homework, a messy house, the never ending laundry, the cost to buy school clothes, packing their lunches....

You watch their eyes light up on Christmas morning....and try to soak in the magic of those moments.

You coach them in sports, rushing to practices and ballgames...and tote them all over the country to let them play the game they love...no matter how exhausting or expensive it becomes.
Life is just so busy that you rarely even stop to think what the end of those days look like.

In fact, it's not really even something you can wrap your mind around.

You go into it thinking that 18-20 years sounds like a long time....

Then suddenly hours turn into days...days into months...and months into years.

That little person that used to crawl up next to you in bed and cuddle up to watch cartoons...suddenly becomes this young adult who hugs you in the hallway as they come and go.

And the chaos and laughter that used to echo throughout your home....gets filled with silence and solitude.

You've learned how to parent a child who needs you to care for and protect them....but have no clue how the whole "letting go" thing is supposed to work.

So you hold on as tight as you can...wondering how time passed so quickly...feeling guilty that you missed something....

Because even though you had 20 years.....it just somehow doesn't seem like it was enough.
You ask yourself so many questions...

Did you teach them the right lessons?
Did you read them enough books as a child?
Spend enough time playing with them?
How many school parties did you have to miss?
Do they really know how much you love them?
What could I have done better as a parent?
...When it's time for them to go, it all hits you like a ton of bricks. And all you can do is pray....hope....and trust that God will protect them as they start to make their way into the world alone.

Parenting is by far the most amazing experience of your life....that at times leaves you exhilarated....while others leave you heartbroken.

But one thing is certain.....it's never enough time...

So for all the parents with young children...whose days are spent trying to figure out how to make it through the madness...
Exhausted day in and day out...

Soak. It. All. In.

Because one day....all those crazy days full of cartoons, snuggles, sleep overs, Christmas morning magic, ballgames, practices and late night dinners...

All come to an end.
And you're left hoping that you did enough right, so that when they spread their wings....
They'll fly...

Preparing our little garden for summer ☀️🌻🌻

This little man is trying to help putting stones.
He will scream and stomp his feet if you try to stop him. Later on, he tried to taste it 🥲🥲 Panic mode parents all the time. 🙂

Still thank you for the help baby ♥️

Our fave part of living here is the Children’s library 🥰🇬🇧 Children’s story time every Saturday ♥️ Start them young. They might not listen, they might run everywhere…but they observe, they smile to everyone, and their heart will always remember that it’s a happy place..

Thank you UK 💕

No relationship is perfect but spending time with our partner can make a huge difference to the relationship. It renews connection & affection. It strengthens the bond. It’s a stress reliever. ♥️

Be each other’s rest.

Found my baby holding my glass of water this morning in our bedroom and I got mad to see he poured it all over the carpet 😩

But it’s a heart shaped so yea. Inhale exhale. Enjoy the dramatic moment. 🥹 lol

We couldn’t understand sometimes our baby’s behavior but when I became a Mom, I learned that having a baby is not about controlling their emotions. It’s about controlling OUR emotions as parents. 🙂

Let’s all enjoy our journey as parents. As the cliché goes ..”they are not little forever”.

I love you too my love. Thank you for painting your first heart for Mameh. 😘
