Day 1: Dawn’s answered prayer, 7 hours of sleep, and my sister
1. Dawn's answered prayer. A few days ago, Dawn was having a hard time sleeping and breathing because of a runny nose. Everytime I would try to put her down on her bed, her nose would be clogged with mucus in an instant and she would start crying again. We had to suction her nose ...

"You're my baby," I would say. "I'm not a baby anymore, I'm a big girl," Rain would reply. "But you're my baby," I'd repeat, part joking, part serious like 'I don't care what you say, buddy, you're mine!' "No, no, Mommy, I'm not! I'm a big girl. See, I'm 5," she would insist, ...

Pursuit Manila: Thank God it’s Momday
It's been exactly a month since Pursuit Manila's special Mother's Day gathering at Karen's Kitchen. If you've been following the hashtags, you know that many of us couldn't stop talking about this gathering for weeks! Few days after the gathering, I tear up when I think about ...
Pursuit Manila x Ashes to Beauty
When Julianne stepped into the room of Pursuit Manila's first ever gathering, fashionably late I must add (haha), I heard a collective gasp in the room. My gasp, included. Sure, I saw the names of the women who signed up, but since she went by (apparently) her real name, Julie, ...
