First time seeing twin baby squash, and it’s growing in my own garden! How awesome is that?!

Still amazed to see animals in person that I used to only see in books or on TV. What a feeling!

Gardening isn’t just about planting, it’s about relaxing, harvesting, enjoying the little things, hard work, and ending the with belly full and a heart full.

This turned out delicious, zucchini freshly picked from our garden, sautéed with ginger, onion, garlic, salt, and pepper. I added leftover roast beef and a single shrimp for richness, lightly cooking the zucchini to keep its texture crisp and vibrant.

Sometimes, you must blur the world around you just to let your own light come into focus.

📣 A Message to All Parents This Graduation Season:

This month is full of graduations and moving-up ceremonies. Dear parents, please be proud of your children with or without medals.

Not every child learns at the same pace. Not every student finds lessons easy. Each child has a unique way of understanding, growing, and developing. Please remember: honors do not define a child’s worth.

Do not compare your child to others just someone else received a medal or an award. Be the one who cheers them on, not the one who adds pressure. Finishing a school year is already a huge achievement. Waking up early, attending school everyday, dealing with challenges that alone deserves celebration.

Your child might not say it, but they’re trying their best. Not because they’re chasing medals, but because they want you to be proud. They are working with what they know and can understand. Some have limited knowledge not by choice, but by the way they process things and that’s okey.

So please, don’t pressure then to earn high honors. Support them. Encourage them. Be their biggest cheerleader. You are the one who motivates them most.

Instead of comparison, offer communication. Check on them daily. Ask how their day went. Make sure no bullying is happening. Let them feel safe with you. Don’t let anyone destroy their mental health. Be their comfort. Be their home.

Every child deserves to be proud of what they’ve done. And every parents should be proud of their child’s effort — because that’s what matters most.

*Talk to them.
*Check in with them.
*Ask if they’re okey.
*Watch out got bullying.
*Let home be their safe place.

*Be the reason they keep going. Be the cheerleader they remember. Be proud because they made it!*

One time, we went to the Asian store here in the USA because I needed to buy kamote leaves for my fish soup. I was so shocked it cost $7 for just a small pack! So I thought, why not plant some instead? Then I can freeze the leaves when summer’s over, and at least I’ll still have some to use when I need them. Still in my Filipino mindset, haha!
