I hope all the moms and mom figures had a great Mother’s Day!

The month of May is very special for the Eppersons. We just celebrated Tom’s birthday last May 10 and our 17th year wedding anniversary last May 11. Wow! Seventeen years seems like a long time, but honestly, Tom and I feel like it was just yesterday. I feel so blessed to have my husband in my life! I want to tell the world that I love you, Tom! Thanks for bringing joy into my life!

My weekend was jam-packed with so many wonderful moments. Here’s how it went:

Friday, 9am

Birthday breakfast with Tom at Apartment 1B.

My Mother’s Day Talk at SM North Edsa, The Block

This was my second time to do a talk at SM The Block. I’m so happy that the place got packed and I was able to meet a lot of my readers and Twitter followers too.

Thanks also to everyone who came to the book signing! I especially got kilig when two of the husbands of my blog readers came to my talk to have their wives books signed by me as a Mother’s Day surprise. My heart melted! Hope your wives liked your gifts!

Saturday, 8am

I woke up early to cook breakfast for the Preview magazine team who came over to “Maison Epperson”. They’re doing something special for me for their July issue. Tune in!

Tom surprised me with a weekend staycation at the Marriot Manila Hotel. I thought we were just having dinner at our new favorite restaurant, Cru Steakhouse at Resorts World. Turns out, he got a suite for us! I love romance!
