Granting my husband’s request not to work and just stay at home, I did, for a year. That was 4 years ago after we came back from Bahrain for good. But as I have said many times, being a stay at home mom is not just me and not for me. Not that I don’t like spending with my kids but having a career and compensation of your own is something else.
So I went back to the corporate world and made myself busy and occupied. I have gotten more occupied the moment I was given a marketing job that requires travel at times.
Here’s now the question thrown at me “How do you juggle it all?”
I do not have a time table to follow ‘coz I don’t want to get disappointed if all fails. What I do is make up for the lost time with my kids and be with them whenever I can. It’s as simple as that. Me time comes next only if I can or I try to squeeze it in when I travel for work every after a long day.

I am a full-time home-based Marketing Manager by day, 24/7 Mom, and a Blogger/Content Creator in my spare time. Proud mom to 2 girls and 1 boy, Derelle, Erchelle, and Elric.
I am happy to share my adventures as I walk through motherhood and have to do most things on my own while my husband works miles away from us. Turning my passion into a profitable venture is another thing.
Authoring and managing this personal blog developed my social media awareness over the years.
From being an ex-OFW to doing what I am good at in the comfort of my own home – while taking good care of my 3 wonderful kids, I hope that people see me as a great inspiration when it comes to pursuing my passion and turning it into a profitable venture.
A giant leap like this is such a challenging journey but indeed is rewarding. A few bumps along this whole journey did not stop me from being the best version of myself.
