100 years.

  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. Being inquisitive that he is, he was never satisfied with my answer. He asked again where, then I just said I will be going to be with Papa Jesus.  His next question almost broke me to tears. H...

We Have a Contract for our House Helper

Image
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. 😊

Is it a Healthy Relationship?

  Relationships are hard. It will always be a choice between holding on and letting go, but it will not be easy whether you stay or leave. So how do we know if we are still in a healthy relationship? Here are some questions to ask: 1. Do we have common goals for the future? 2. Do we respect and value each other for who we are? 3. Do we want the same kind of relationship? 4. Are we an enrichment for each other's lives? 5. Do we give and take from each other? 6. Do we hold time and space for each other? 7. Do we have healthy boundaries? 8. Do we communicate and discuss in a healthy way? 9. Do we encourage each other to pursue our goals? 10. Are we showing our authentic selves? 11. Do we give each other space and time? 12. Do we respect and communicate our needs, values, and boundaries? I hope these questions help you with your current relationship and work it out if you're on the brink of letting go.  Love,  K
