Hello to all fellow mothers in this community, happy mother's day!
Mother's day here in Ph was celebrated every 2nd Sunday of May.
My Loving Mom
She is my Mom who was residing in our province, kilometers far from where my family is staying. I thank her for being one of my support team whenever I'm down or struggling being a mom too. Now I understand how mom can be so selfless when it comes to her children because when a child gets hurt, mom's get hurt more. I have so many wrong decisions I made but she never judged me but she makes me realize what I did was wrong and I need to make it right, no matter how painful it is. I thank God that she is my Mom, I look up to her for being a strong and independent mom. Salute to all single moms out there! I rarely post long messages for her in social media but her messenger gets the long appreciation messages.
This photo was sent by her, her employer treats them in an eat-all-you-can restaurant as a mother's day dinner celebration. She was so happy telling me that there is a free cupcake for all moms, it reminds her of my baked cupcakes. She wished that we lived nearby so she could taste all of the cakes, cupcakes and other pastries I made every occasion. I wish her all the happiness and she may feel the beauty of the world 'cause she experienced all kinds of pain and difficulties in life in her early motherhood years. I thank God that the people around her now know her value as a person and appreciate her hard work.
Greeting Cards from my Daughters
From Ate
This is me, she drew this using oil pastels.
She's wishing me a wonderful and colorful life ahead.
She wants to bring me to the salon and buy me new make-up and clothes when she earns money someday. I never say anything about this but I really appreciate it.
From Bunso
They made this at school, as part of their art activity.
When I fetched her at school she was so happy running towards me and giving me this card, telling me that she made a gift for me.
She made another one, the idea was the word "I Love You" was wrapped as a gift. The ribbon and bow say it all.
Bonus
I washed the mixing bowl and other tools I used to make a friend's bento cake that she ordered for her mother. I was actually tying her little sister's hair and when I turn around she was already washing them. She told me to take some rest and "Mom's not allowed to wash anything today 'cause it's mother's day". How touching it is, makes my heart flutter. How blessed I am.
This is the bento cake I made that day.
Unexpected Gift from Friends
This is from my good friend who is a good listener whenever I need someone to talk to, she's always been generous but I never expected this. She was the one who ordered the bento cake. My kids was so happy with these donuts.
My fellow baker/mom gave me this chocolate number along with Piyaya and buko pie which I don't have a chance to take a photo because it was already eaten.
Once again, Happy Mother's Day to all moms and everyone who takes responsibility as a mom! Always remember that you are loved and appreciated. Let us stay strong, and motivated, enjoy every moment with our children and don't forget to take care of ourselves. God bless us all.
