Day 1: Farm

We went home to a sumptuous lunch yesterday, with Ninuy J's Kare-kare and version of Pinakbet. M brought her version of sansrival and my Coco showed off her toys to lola and Lola chattering over and over that we should have visited her relatives in Davao. Then Sunday felt so complete and the family lunch was the weekend's crowning glory and the perfect ending to a really good weekend.

Coco went on her first roadtrip..


Day 1 of the trip went OK, with only an hour from the city, Coco handled the drive really well. Sleeping most of the way, we got to the farm before she even asked for her first Papap of the day.

Stayed a night at there, chased raindrops and chickens and discovered guinea pigs and yellow flowers. Like my little girl, the farm will always hold a special place in my heart. With soft singing of the wind, and the quiet murmurs of the river below, it was good to be home.











Coco brought a lot of energy for the weekend get away, spent her days counting, singing and laughing with her equally mischievous cousin K. I brought a lot of ideas for work and writing, brought my notebook for a possible phrase or two even, but ended up laughing and playing with my little gurls the whole time.

Ginamos, pistachios and a lot of stories kept the farm day really far from stress. Day 1 of the road trip just started.
