They say, it takes a village to raise a child." What if there is no village to help you? Back in the Philippines, raising a child seems easier with the whole barangay willing to give you a helping hand. You have the luxury of over-eager grandparents, helpful aunties & funny uncles, the reliable cousins, the responsible older nephews & nieces and not to mention the affordability of getting nannies for each of your kids. Work hours and proximity of work place to home are conducive … [Read more...]

They say if you love someone, you always have time for them. How true! No matter how busy you are, if someone is important to you, you will … [Read more...]
