As the year wraps up, I am ending this year with a grateful heart. Motherhood sure did take a lot of adjustment. Being a full time mom to Josiah King, and learning how to parent as he grows, I quickly realized how challenging it is to juggle some work time in between it all. Despite that, I managed to figure things out by giving up a few hours of sleep just to get some work done. It wasn’t easy and sometimes even I have managed to surprised myself. I have managed to secure jobs, even brand partnerships, and yes ambassadorship too!
When it comes to my blogging career, I am truly grateful for everything. For the brands that continues to put their trust on me, our family. For the family, friends, as well as to my readers and followers that support what I do for a living. I wouldn’t be here if not for all of you. Of course above it all, God’s guidance and blessings.
As for our family, just a few days ago we celebrated our son’s baptismal / birthday. Then yesterday, my friends and I surprised my husband for his 40th birthday which also happens to be our 5th Wedding Anniversary. Lots of big things happening before we bid 2018 adieu.
We’ve been super busy, but I’m more than thrilled to welcome the new year. That’s because for 2019, I have decided to venture on new projects. I am stepping out of my comfort zone. Because let’s be honest, the world is ever changing and I have to adapt if I want to take myself and my career to the next level. For those of you who had been following my updates would know that I love challenging myself and out-besting my best.
If you are still wondering what the new projects will be, I am proud to share that it is definitely something to feel jolly about. I am starting a new series that features the following:
honest-to-goodness cooking (and baking!)
IVF series and breaking down the details
regular YouTube updates
ebooks and more!
Any of these sound exciting? Are you looking for anything in particular? I’d love to hear what you have in mind!
