First Post for 2017 (with the hope of writing more...)

I've been meaning to write a year end post before the new year comes but... again, busy WAHM life happened.


The past year, I haven't wrote much about my WAHM life.

I reviewed and bulk of my posts came from PR releases or event invites.

I remember why my blog started... it was for me to have a way to put out my feelings and thoughts into writing.

And I hope to get back to doing that again.

A lot of things happened the past year, some sad, most happy... there were a lot of challenges but we were also blessed abudantly, not with material things but with love, hope and contentment.

If you are following me on Instagram and on Facebook, you know that KANSIS Made had a lot of milestones last year- Kenny was asked to become Dremel's Brand Ambassador. Dremel is a brand by Bosch Philippines.

It has opened a lot of avenues for him to showcase and share his skills.

A big leap for us as a couple also happened when we both decided to join a Marriage Encounter weekend last July. The weekend has opened our eyes to our marriage and I would say a lot of good things has happened since then.

Well, I am going to write (crossed fingers) separate posts about those soon. Because I want to talk about them more.

McKenzie got promoted to Green for ballet. She is in Grade 1 and she is doing really well in school. She was also able to attend a TOTAL Personality Development Workshop with La Vie Institute.

KANSIS Made is now officially registered as a business! BIR compliance needs my attention this year!

Sorry for the scattered thoughts. I haven't written anything for a long time.

Kenny and I both agreed that the past holiday season was carefree, less stress. And it's not because we had the money to spend for gifts, get togethers, or staycations. It's also not because we have a lot of time in our disposal. It's because we have learned to be content with what we have and be happy.

In the past years, I chased happiness thinking it would make the holiday season a good one. I tried to give gifts from the pocket and not from the heart. I was always desperately trying to schedule a staycation to celebrate. I expect friends to find the time to meet up and feel disappointed if they can't.

But this year, everything changed... and I'm carefree.

The WAHM, Dulce Javier- Ansis

Fulltime WAHM since Nov 2009. My decision to become one gave birth to this blog. 😍 In 2015, my husband started KANSIS Made and I had to juggle my time between freelance work and being the business director of our micro-enterprise. In doing both plus being a hands-on mom, I've always met challenges with time management. But in every crossroad, I always remind myself of the reason why I decided to leave the corporate world and become a fulltime WAHM - to have more time with my family. I've always tried to advocate the benefits of being a fulltime WAHM to fellow moms and moms to be. I don't tire of talking about how I started as a fulltime WAHM and together with my husband, we managed to pay off the house, the car and send our daughter to school.

Unlocking the (sad) moments: Angelina

M is an only child. But not really... we have two more but both were too special, God took them back right away. Genesis is M's Kuya. I wrote about our first miscarriage in Jan 2009. In 2016, we gained another angel. But it was too painful, I managed to lock the memory in. I've spent years trying not to think about what happened.  I think I erased it from my mind. Today is Angelina's 6th year in heaven. As I recover and heal, the memory of losing her is slowly coming back. 2016 It was a really busy year. It was a busy year for Kenny and KANSIS Made. It was a busy year for McKenzie. It was a busy year for me as a WAHM. We were all too busy, we didn't know I was pregnant. In August, we went to Bacolod with Ken for his Dremel Brand Ambassador stint. I had spotting when we were inflight. But I didn't really mind it. I thought my period was coming. --- these parts are still missing, I will try to add when I remember. Sep 7 we rushed M to the hospital where she was admi...

when i meet love again

when i meet love again, i hope i’ll be enough. i hope it chooses me without wanting to change me. i hope i'm exactly what it’s looking for. and if it finds out i'm a work-in-progress and a little damaged, i hope it still sees me as someone worth staying with. when i meet love again, i hope it's clear. i hope it shows up as love, not sadness in disguise or just temporary happiness posing as romance. i hope it knows that loving me means having me on my best days and also my boring, weak, and unlovable days. when i meet love again, i hope it meets me halfway. i hope it’s excited to be loved right, just as it wants to love me right. i hope it’s the one that will happily reciprocate my energy, learn my habits and languages, and go the extra mile to show me what i deserve. and finally, when i meet love again, i hope this time it’s meant to last
