Sending Money to the Philippines 🇵🇭 | Daiso Finds + Eating Out +Mall Chaos with Kids | Filipino Food

Today was one of those days where everything felt a little heavy, but I kept going—because I promised myself I would.

I sent money to the Philippines for my mom and my niece’s school allowance. He’s been through a lot, and I just want to give him a chance to focus on his studies and not worry like before. It’s not always easy, but even little by little, I want to help.

We also visited Daiso and had lunch outside with the kids. Of course, chaos followed us in the mall—because that’s what it’s like when you’re a mom with little ones. 😅

Even with all the stress and exhaustion, I’m thankful. For my family, for the blessings, and for the strength to keep going.

Thank you for being here. Your support means more than you know. 🤍
