I truly believe that - "Having kids is a blessing, their laughter and smiles makes everything feel lighter and every sacrifice worth it ."
Greetings to all Hivers around the world! I hope everyone is doing great this holiday season and most especially especially to everyone in this amazing 
Today I want to share with you a very special and memorable day for my kids because we had visitors at home. There was a wedding in our neighborhood, and some of my husband’s cousins came along with their children. They stayed with us until the wedding and lunch was done. Because of their presence the house felt livelier and full of laughter. My kids were truly happy because they finally had playmates to enjoy the day with.
My 10 month old baby boy especially caught my attention because he was happily playing with his cousin who is 2 months younger than his. It was such a cute and funny sight to see. Even though she’s younger, she’s already almost the same size as my baby, so they looked like twins sitting and playing together. Their fathers are cousins, so seeing the next generation bonding so naturally made me happy. Watching them interact like holding hands, smiling, and laughing in their own little baby ways was truly priceless.
Meanwhile, my daughter was also happy as she played with her younger cousins. You could clearly see the happiness on her face. Moments like these are rare for them because we live far from each other and they rarely go out due to our changing weather here. They usually only get to see one another during special occasions like weddings or family gatherings. That’s why every time they meet, the air is filled with Laughter and joy is genuine and overflowing. It’s as if they instantly reconnect once they see each other, even after a long time apart.
What I really love about moments like this was seeing how these children can form bonds so naturally. Even at such a young age, they already look like close friends that chatting in baby talk, laughing together, and enjoying each other’s presence. Though they are cousins but still it’s beautiful to watch them grow with these shared memories.
Seeing my kids laugh and smile like that instantly takes away all my tiredness and sometimes even my illness. It’s true what some parents and my parents say, - No matter how exhausted and tired you are, No matter how hard life is, the sound of your children’s laughter and smiles can make everything feel lighter and easier. Their happiness is more than enough to remind me why every moment with them are worth cherishing.
That's all for today, I just wanted to share this small but meaningful moment in our lives to all of you here. It's just a simple day filled with family, laughter, and the kind of joy that only children can bring. I hope you also have a good day with your kids. Please stay safe and always keep smiling. 😊 see you on my next blog, Happy holidays !
Mabuhay!
