Life has many challenges and the most difficult ones are not only curved into one ball but I think they are all interrelated. And so i decided on making a mini brag-accordion book to compile them into one whole challenge in my life...the meaning of life for me.
The Heart symbolizes strength and love. It is because of love that we learn to sacrifice.
Journaling:
Sacrificing for my kids is the most difficult challenge I have to endure. This entails my time to them and leaving my career life. Until now, I still could not accept not working and just staying at home. I know God will lead the way for me.
The Heart is a symbol of endurance, passion, sacrifice only a mother could give to her family.
Aedan's vision made me realize that he needed me more than anything. He has to bear so much but we have to understand.
cardstock sticker- fill in the blanks: Cabbie always wanted to have a small family. Well, she got what she wanted! With 4 superactive kids, her hands are full!
Thanks: for giving aedan a chance with his vision; staying at home is a big sacrifice; letting go of one's career.

Kapatid, naks naman. Thanks so much at napagbigyan mo ako sa challenge ako. At talaga naman, hindi lang layout, mini-book! =)
Pero, totoo, as a mom, we all know what it's like to feel that everything, every challenge, every moment of happiness is intertwined.
Hindi din naman puwede sabihin that we can always understand why God chooses the directions of our lives but we believe and have faith that everything will turn out for the best.
Love yah, kapatid, at alam mo naman saludo talaga ako sa yo as an artist, wife, mom and sa talino (wala kasi ako nun eh). I hope that someday you'll feel that you've achieved your best in ALL aspects of your life without any regrets.
*hugs*

Being a mother, myself, ramdam kita sistah. It might seem like a big sacrifice indeed, but one that is sure well-worth it.
I love your approach sa mini-album mo. Despite the fact that the subject is about "sacrifices", you are able to project it in a very positive light by showing the things you are "thankful" for as well.
wow, gorgeous album idol cabbie... i salute your for being one of the greatest moms i know :)
you are truly an inspiration!
Cabbie, that is one beautiful work! I know motherhood can be quite a challenge... I think you are handling it really well!
beautiful project as usual, cabbie! you always come up with something, and it never fails to bring on the prettiness factor :)
woohoo! from the queen of mini albums herself! galeng! i'm sure you'll be back in your profession soon kapatid. may kilala akong ganyan, nag-nanay muna and when the kids were grown up enough, pag balik sa propesyon, humataw!!! see you soon! :-D
