Sweet World of Joan

I am excited to tell everybody that I recently joined the Pinoy moms network . And I would like to share some tidbits about myself. Hello my fellow mommies! My name is Joan Piñon, I am a mommy to Lorenzo, my 4 year old son. My dream is to become a mother since I was a child and having Lorenzo fulfilled that dream after 2 years of waiting. I joined the Pinoy moms network to reach out to mothers like me and to learn more about motherhood from fellow mothers in the network. I catalog my life through my blog Sweet World of Joan.

Many of my friends know that I so loved chocolates and cakes and a few weeks before I have this late night cravings for chocolate m...

I am currently in a vigil, my son is sick and I am keeping a close watch on his fever ... well I check his temperature every few minutes( he is prone to convulsions ) and while waiting I get to write this article as well as playing fish tycoon. It's Labor day today where we get to celebrate and honor the country's workforce but as this day starts I get to reflect on a different kind of labor, where in a woman is transformed into a mother. Becoming a mother is one of my cherished dreams and I had to wait for almost three years before I became one, and going into labor is just the start of it. Being a mother is really a labor of love, its 24/7, like right now who knows when I can get some sleep. The truth is I really can’t sleep when my son is sick I worry too much, I can only rest if I know he is ok. I do these things because I love my son, he is the joy in my life. Being a mothe...
