For now at 8 & 9 yo, they only load undies & socks in there, place detergent & fabcon & set the controls. But it will progress into doing their own laundry by 12 yo. I started feeling the heartbreak during the demo of the process to ky younger daughter. I hope they understand that beyond the Sgt Mom daily facade, there's a mom who wants to raise powerful, independent, beautiful women & who is very thankful for work-at-home opportunities so she could experience LIFE & blessings with her children until they technically won't need her anymore & see her less & less when they're ready for the world.

Honest to goodness breastfeeding feels good during the prime years but when they become toddler na I kinda hate it. I somehow feel relieve that he weaned already but there are times that I would miss those early morning feeding. My son always says I miss you dede with matching kiss and hug pa. hehe.

Sometimes, I am at my wit's end with the chores and the bugging of the girls. But at the back of my mind, I know I will miss these mundane everyday things. Hugs from a fellow mom.
