Despite having my parents live just next street, and a nanny who does everything for the girls when I travel, I still worry. I find it even more challenging because the husband is not here and works overseas from us, so imagine if something goes wrong, the blame goes to me solely.
When I travel for work, I make sure that:
- the fridge is stuffed or at least filled with the things they might need while I am away.
- enough cash is kept either with my mom or nanny in case they would need to buy something.
- my youngest daughter’s medicines for asthma are available.
- my grade schooler’s homeworks are done. There were times that I had to instruct my eldest and do it over the phone.
- I call in the morning before my eldest leaves for school, lunch time, and before going to bed.
It’s not easy. I might be getting some travel perks that some people wish for, but really it’s not easy to manage.

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.
