Sorry for the 8 day hiatus, but I’m back and I’m better, more at peace, happier and healthier because of COVID-19. I’m sharing my thoughts and experiences with you from this 2nd week of quarantine and how it’s turned out for the better for me and my family.

I’m just sharing more of my heart today. What’s day2-3 of extended staycation looking like for me and my family. A lot of PSAs and suggestions given but for very good reason. I hope you moms and dads can relate!

Even though I was raised by a Tiger Mom, I appreciate now, today, what my mom, Lola and MIL sacrificed day in and day out and how I can only wish I was even half the woman these women are today.

Gabby started Hip Hop classes and in the hour I reveled in her newfound hobby, I gave myself a pat on the back for not parenting like a Tiger Mom. I hope you can relate!

How do you acknowledge feedback and constructive criticism? In this episode, I talk about my own experiences growing up with my parents and how they caused me to not feel validated in many aspects of my life.

Food is a true Filipino’s Love Language and I’m sharing why.
