Sans Helper, in RP

Boys' summer vacation and my trusted household assistant on a 2-week vacation, too.

Whew! If I were a working single parent and living overseas with my kids, i would say it was my worst nightmare.

Well, I'm married and I have mother-in-law living not so far from our house.

Thanks to our Nanays (my Mother and Mother-in-law), my sisters and nephews who took turns in looking after the boys while my husband and I were at work.

This is what I love in having big family, I never ran out of people who volunteer to take care of my kids when Jun and I are not physically around for them.

Here, in the Philippines.
