The Quiet Mom Introduction

The Quiet Mom Blog

About me.  I am a Filipina quiet Mama, born and raised in the Philippines now living in Texas. I consider myself a very quiet person, I remember in my elementary days I always received a couple of most -behaved students ribbons or an award every graduation. I grew up in a culture of laughter, food, karaoke, and family gathering almost every day. I was around the loudest, kindest, caring and loving people around family, friends and neighbors. 

I worked abroad when I was 23, met my wonderful husband in the middle east, got married in 2015 and had a baby in 2021 and that’s where my Mama story began.

When I had my son overseas it was hard when there was no family around, though my husband is very supportive, I still hope that my mom is there or my sisters. Postpartum was so real after having a baby, crying countless times in the middle of the night, engorged breast, not enough sleep, too fragile and not to mention the roller coaster of emotion we go through in the journey.  

This blog is a shared journey of a Mama who is too afraid to speak up, from a Mama who had forgotten how to smile, and from a Mama who is still looking for her voice and from a quiet Mama who will conquer it all.
