32. My magical number today! It’s not the age but really our attitude and disposition towards life that matters 🙂

I just love birthdays! I can’t deny how giddy I get whenever I get greetings. I’ll really never grow out of it. I love personally thanking everyone instead of a general thank you to all. I really appreciate small gestures.

The past years of my life have been so different now that I’m a wife and a mom. Words are not enough to express how thankful I am for everything and how wonderful life has been. Of course there were rough roads, the good always won and will win.

There’s nothing better the being beside the important people when the clock strikes 12 on your birthday. This year, I quietly welcome my day beside my sleeping “panganay” and my loving husband (not yet asleep..haha!) plus our boy inside me moving nonstop. They make my day and my life complete ❤

No dramas today just fun, gratitude, and love! I know all moms can relate how tears flow from our hearts and eyes when we start talking about our motherhood journey. Let’s let our lives speak louder ❤

As I think about my wonderful existence, here’s sharing 32 things about who I am now and 32 things I learned at this point in my life. It’s a happy day, a happy life, savor every moment.

24. We sometimes tend to create our own stress. It’s really how we deal with situations and don’t blame the problems or others.
25. It’s never an accident when you meet people. Everyone has a purpose in your life.
26. Allow your children to be messy and be challenged. They shouldn’t learn about life in a silver platter all the time.
27. Motherhood unleashed the strengths I had that I never knew existed plus the fears I have for my kids and life. Breath and take small steps.
28. You can’t Google through life everyday. A good life will.not come from Google or Facebook, it will come from you.
29. Life is too modern. Dom’t let go of the classic things and teach your kids classic ways- toys, things, manners, and way of life. There’s a lot of values from traditional way of life and things.
30. Stop. Recharge. Unplug from technology and connect with reality.
31. In today’s world, learn to manage technology use. We become so dependent that we tend to be helpless without them.
32. Above all else, God and faith. Everything will follow.
