  A few weeks back, Dylan asked us if until what age will he reach or will he be. He recently got fascinated with age because of birthdays. So we answered he would be able reach until age 100. He got all excited because 100 is his favorite number and we really want him to live a long life. Then he also asked if mommy and daddy will also be 100. We said yes, of course and he went on his way back to what he is doing, we moved on as well. But earlier today while having our lunch, he asked me, "Mommy, are you still going to be with me when I am 100 years old?" I was shocked and it took me a moment to respond to him. I said, I may not be here anymore when you are 100. Then he asked me another question, "Where are you going to be when I'm 100?" I just said I am going somewhere.

We Have a Contract for our House Helper

It is really super hard to look for a reliable and trustworthy house helper nowadays. We are lucky to have a helper that is with us for almost 3 years already and she is excellent with our kids. Lagi nga lang niya pinapatay yung mga bulaklak and halaman ko, but you know, you can't have everything. 😂 For us to have a harmonious and fair relationship, I created a contract for us to follow. I based this to the one Isabelle Daza once posted on her socials before.  Here is a copy of our contract: You can copy and edit this to whatever fits to your conditions.  We are also conducting a quarterly evaluation to check her performance and if there are any concerns. I hope this helps!  Let me know if you also have a contract for your house helper or you are planning to make one! Love, K PS: You can send me a message if you want to get a copy of the file. 😊

  It is hard to find time for your spouse when you have little kids that always want to tag along when you go out, but that should not stop you from taking your spouse out on a date every once in a while.  My husband and I agreed that we should go out together every week to spend time together and talk about us, set our goals, check what we have achieved so far, politics, other people (maritessing 😜), sports, travel goals, travel plans, the Philippines' infrastructures among many other topics that we may think of.  So far, we have been true to our words for each other on this aspect. Here are some of the things that we do when we go out together. 1. Dinner Date . This is the most common activity that we do everytime we go out, this way we can talk properly without anyone interrupting us every minute. We can hear each other properly and we can think properly and address the things that need to be addressed be it work-related, house-related, family-related, etc. It doesn't...
