A few weeks ago, one of my friends sent me a message in Facebook. She’s just given birth to her second child that time and her eldest was just a year old. She was getting worried because she was always feeling depressed and angry because she no longer have time for herself .
The way I see it, there could only be one reason why she’s feeling that way.. she’s stressed out.

Last week, I accompanied my daughter on her school field trip in Bulacan. This time around though, unlike her previous field trips, we only had one destination in our itinerary and that is the Paradise Adventure Camp and Resort in San Jose Del Monte, Bulacan.
Paradise Adventure Camp and Resort is an activity center where you can hold educational field trips, team building activities, scouting, camping and retreats. They also have swimming pools for water related activities. Now if you plan to go there as a group, they also have their own bus rental service, so you don’t have to go somewhere else to arrange for transportation.

My daughters both celebrate their birthdays in October. This year my eldest turns eight while my youngest celebrates her first. Since their birthdays are not that far apart, we decided to just hold a double celebration for them.
Initially, we considered just having the party at home but, after realizing that we would have a hundred guests at the most, we changed our minds and decided to just hold the party elsewhere.
Now fast food restaurants were the first to come into our minds as this would be the most convenient option for children’s parties, however, my eldest had something to say about it: “Ma, eight na ‘ko eh. I’m old for that.”. So, since she was the celebrant anyway, we honored her request.
My mother-in-law suggested Max’s and we thought that it was a good idea too. Let me share with you the preparations that we made then:

Last Friday, my daughter represented her class in their school’s annual Catequiz competition. She was really excited about it and we spent the last week reviewing and preparing for it.
On the day before the competition, I reminded her to ask her teacher if I can go to her school and watch her compete. Well, guess what, she forgot about it! So that night, she kept worrying, “What if you don’t come and parents can watch? I’ll be the only one without a mommy there. Kaya lang if you go to school naman tapos parents are not allowed you will just get tired.” So to calm her down, I told her I’ll be there; allowed or not allowed. “And don’t worry about me getting tired, I’m a super mom, ‘di ba?” With that she relaxed and stopped worrying.
