Mother, Blogger

As I already mentioned in my first article, I am a full-time housewife, tending to the daily house chores. Though I have my helper with me, I personally tend to my husband and children's needs. Being in the house all day long makes me bored to the max! It's a good thing, I love to read, and when I'm done reading, I go online and check my accounts in Facebook, Twitter,and email. I started creating my own blog a year ago, but due to my hectic schedule being an ICafe Owner at the same time due to my health problems I wasn't able to pursue it. Being a mother doesn't mean you cannot be a blogger. I am not a professional writer, but I can express my opinions and ideas in my own way and style of writing. I will be writing articles, not only for the mothers' interest but for the whole family as well. May you find my articles worth reading. You may expect for a weekly update on this site.
