He who calls me Mommy. He sleeps with his arms and legs wrapped around me and always likes to be cuddled in my embrace. Kisses me on the lips and says “I love you Mommy” random times of the day. When he sees a pretty girl, he‘ll say “That’s Mommy” and when he sees something he likes for me, he’ll say “I buy that for you.” Oh, what a sweet sweet life it is to be loved by you. Forever thanking my lucky stars for you, who calls me Mommy. ⭐️👩‍👦⭐️ . . . #motherhood #momlife #travelgram #lifeasamum #motherandson #mommydiaries #mothersday2018 #DearestElian

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms and moms-to-be! ♥️♥️♥️ . . . sharing this from @bub.and.weave 🌹wrote the copy and @antidote_brands turned it into a #MothersDay video from all the shoots we’ve had since we started late last year. It was a nice recap of the past 7 months. Thank you to all the super moms we’ve met and worked with who became part of our journey! @princesssitap @krissykairuz @niki_cosco @giannina.ocampo 💖 . . . #motherhood #mothersday #momlife #mommydiaries #mothersday2018 #journeytomotherhood #womenempoweringwomen #bubandweavemum

15 days, 3 cities #DownUnder 🇦🇺 our most memorable adventure with the bub. 4 flights, international and domestic airports with varying baggage allowances, Daddy packing and unpacking, overweight baggages, broken luggages, pasalubongs, meet ups with fam and friends, tram rides, ferry rides, baby getting sick, mornings by the beach, windows with a view, the best grocery finds, hoarding chocolates, cheese, chips, chasing birds at the beach, chasing birds at the park, all those beautiful parks and gardens and playgrounds and nature sceneries. 5 months after, and I finally got to go thru vids and pics and it brought me back. Missing it all and wishing we can do it over again. Thankful for those preciously saved up miles that allowed us this trip for his birthday. Must save up more but for now il go back to editing our vids so we can look back and remember the fun. Thank you @kendrickco for capturing us in this moment. Happy smiles, baby bangs, excited baby, tired but happy mummy, backpack filled with baby paraphernalia, wipes peeking out, our plane at the background. Just you, me and Daddy enroute to #Sydney from GC. 💙👪✈️ . . . #DearestElian #ElianExplores #travelgram #mommydiaries #familytravels #havekidswilltravel #Australia #travelthrowback #motherhood #momlife #motherandson #babytravels

Because I want to remember all his firsts 💙 My #DearestElian today at 2.4 years and the very first stone he ever painted 🎨 too bad we didn’t get to see him make it. But thank you Nang Nang @ellamartelino for this experience of his. @elianfrancescothomas.co @kendrickco this is our #infinitystone 🤣 #babylove #firstpainting #toddlerhood #motherhood #mommydiaries

Island life with my loves. 🧡 cloudy day brightened up by our lil boy’s sunny smile. Each day is a new discovery of personality with this one. On some days he learns how to use I love you to bribe us saying “I love you Mommy, no meeting please.” Or “I love you Daddy, please don’t go office” then other days it’s about defying rules and saying no and testing limits and pushing his autonomy. Oh the joys and woes of parenting a toddler. Challenging but priceless! 💙😅👪 . . . #kendrickellentravels with #DearestElian #ElianExplores #islandlife #travelgram #havekidswilltravel #familytravel #motherhood #momlife #mommydiaries #parenting #parenthood #toddlerhood

3 months after weaning, and 7 months after starting my passion project that is @bub.and.weave, I find myself still enjoying designing clothes although now not just for me but for other #breastfeedingmoms and wearing it even when I’m no longer #breastfeeding. Today, we’ve sold to over 400 #moms here and abroad in an effort to help #normalizebreastfeeding and support new moms to still feel like themselves while caring for their baby. Here’s me in @bub.and.weave’s nursing maternity Bella dress, testing it with a day out with my toddler. 💛 . . . #momlife #motherhood #mommydiaries #bubandweavemum #womenempoweringwomen

Mornings by the sea. Burying our feet in sand, counting seashells and swimming to look for starfishes. E & E 💙 . . . thank you to our IG Daddy @kendrickco for capturing ☺️ moments with #DearestElian #ElianExplores #wanderlustellen #travelgram #travelphotography #dametraveler #summertime #motherhood #momlife #motherandson #beachbaby #havekidswilltravel

Now my dream house includes a swing lounge chair by the water, just like this 🌿😍💙🌿 (not just a gazebo anymore @kendrickco 😆) this spot is just so relaxing and fun and scenic too! Elian loved it so much he wanted us to leave him here 😅 . . . . #ElianExplores #momlife #motherhood #motherandson #havekidswilltravel #wanderlustellen #travelgram #housegoals #poolgoals #itsmorefuninthephilippines #punonggarysplace

Always always a fun trip with these ones! E’s milestone travels (first abroad trip, first local trip, first boat ride and island experience) always seem to be with his 2 Ninangs. Til the next one guys! Let’s still ✈️ even if we won’t all be in Manila 😭 @maitecaliente @camilleprado @kendrickco #CumbredeEstupendo . . . . #DearestElian #ElianExplores #theruins #negros #bacolod #ninanglove

My beautiful Mama is celebrating her 70 years today. This photo is my rare solo photo with her from my baby album. My siblings and I have a ton of photos growing up but very few with her. That’s how it is with Mama, her focus is always us and not herself. She single-handedly brought me, my sister and my brother up on her own and we owe everything to her. I may look like my father but I will always always be my mother’s daughter. Everything I am will always be because of her. Now that I am a mom, I look back and think of how strong she is to raise 3 kids on her own while working too. I just have Elian and yet I don’t think I can ever measure up to how strong my mom is and how big her heart is. Even when we had nothing, she was always thinking of everyone, always generous beyond what she can give. Today as a doting grandmother to 5 grandkids, she is still the same. Always caring, always hands-on, always so loving. Thank you Mama for all that you do for us. Happy 70th birthday! You will always be our world! 💛 @bokya48 @ellamartelino *first photo was taken in the 80s, last photo was taken today 😊

Tiny amidst the big blue sky and sea. This morning’s playground, we had this lil corner of the island all to ourselves. 💙🏝 . . . 📸 taken by Daddy @kendrickco . . . #DearestElian #ElianExplores #Lakawon #Negros #wanderlustellen #havekidswilltravel #beachbaby #travelgram #travelphotography #beachlife #islandlife #momlife #motherhood #motherandson #beach #beachphotography #itsmorefuninthephilippines
