30 Things in 30 Years

30 Things in 30 Years

You know what birthdays give you? It gives you retrospect you never knew you had. It keeps you feeling hopeful of the days ahead. And it causes you to be thankful for the person you are right now. I decided to list down 30 things 30 years has taught me, or what 30 years has developed in me; with the hope that years from now, I’d look back on this post and appreciate what the 30 in me went through.

N@W Breastfeeding Shoot

Having shared my story, you must understand how much it meant to me to participate in the shoot organized by Newlyweds at Work (N@W). The shoot aimed to celebrate the Breastfeeding Month of August, provide a wonderful keepsake for the N@W breastfeeding mommies, and maybe inspire others along the way. (Yep! Some of my friends have already been inspired... To have a photo shoot! Hehe!) I share with you our photos. I will forever be touched by the memories of what these represent.

A huge thank you:

To Ms Benz and N@W for coming up with this idea and bringing it to reality

To Monique and John Mateos Ong for sponsoring both location and photography

To the Imagine Nation LIFE team of Bea, Olive, Arlene and Brianna for capturing our nursing moments and taking way too beautiful photos of my family

To Jeff and Lisa Llarena for the gorgeous behind the scene candids (appetizer pa lang, ulam na!). I can't stop looking at them! Sobrang ganda.

To the N@Wies, who have been so friendly and welcoming to a newbie like me

To my fellow breastfeeding mommies everywhere, who are united by this unique experience. I now understand why such a profound sense of support and sisterhood exists.

To Toni and Steph, my ever-reliable teammates, for helping me out in this project

To my mom and my hubby for coming with me to the shoot and taking care of the baby
