Checking my Hubpages account reminded me of my backlogs in writing. I should be publishing my Christmas hubs by now…

A video project is waiting for soundtracks to be added…

It’s been almost two weeks since I last posted a blog…

But while in front of the computer, attempting to finish an article and several tabs were open, my arms opened up for Nadine who wanted to sit on my lap. She immediately fell asleep nestled on my chest. I can feel her heartbeat next to mine. I can smell her sweet baby scent. I should lay her down to bed but no, not yet…let me savor the moment some more. I stared at her angelic face and it just feels great. I am not accomplishing any tangible thing and yet it feels sooo right!!! Nadine feels so secure in her Mom’s arms but I guess it’s both ways because I find comfort in her warmth. If I was able to defer my professional career for my Nadine girl then everything else can wait for this wondrous moment. For a moment, I rested all my thoughts and worries and focused on this lovely being I am currently holding. That moment is gone when my school kids excitedly arrived to tell me that they did well in their exam.

I had to put down Nadine to attend to the needs of her newly arrived Ate and Kuya from school then the other Kuya shouted. The noise awakened Nadine. Now I have to attend to the simultaneous demands of four little kiddos…mainly attention, attention, attention and attention. This is the moment of truth!!!

Anyway, my kiddos won’t mind if I have many unfinished and unpublished works

I just don’t know with Papa Sez :P will he?

Parenting Journey is the No. 1 Mommies Faves Top Blog for January!!! Yippee, yippee!!! Thanks for the support of all Parenting Journey followers and readers from all-over. Awarded to Parenting Journey is this icon/ribbon on the right and the top spot in Mommies Faves Site. What else…what else? Ahh…the moral boost…the inspiration. I’m serious; this looks small and simple but made my heart bigger...not to the point of bursting, though, lol.

When I joined this challenge a month ago, I knew that a two-month old blog site like Parenting Journey will not be able to compete with the old-time family blog sites. Thank God I was wrong. Parenting Journey got the top blog position and was the first top blog awardee of Mommies Faves.

I am now more motivated to share our experiences as parents, the tips we deem helpful for others and the knowledge we are gaining from this journey. The increasing traffic in the site coming from the different parts of the globe also proved that regardless of geographic location, parents would search for information pertaining to parenthood, read parenting stories of other people or even share their own. After all parents are riding on the same boat and need each other to learn from and lean on so as to ensure that the journey be as smooth as possible.

The Parenting Journey banner will occupy the top spot in the Mommies Faves Top Blog Site until a new top blog is chosen at the end of the month. This is a monthly thing such that all votes are reset to zero at the beginning of each voting month.

Please continue to vote for Parenting Journey by clicking the peach icon that says “Congrats! #1 Top Blog” at the right side of the page. This will lead you to Mommies Faves Top Blog Site and see that Parenting Journey banner is perched on top of the heap. Current ranking of the participating family-oriented blog sites can be viewed as well.

To all Parenting Journey followers and readers from all-over, please accept our heartfelt gratitude and again, please continue to help Parenting Journey keep the top spot.

Let’s celebrate with a toast of breast milk...err...I mean fresh milk. Cheers!
