I was that mother who worked all her energy and enthusiasm in the office just to be able to provide my children's needs.   I had just one before and was a single mom too, so imagine the roles I had to play and time I had to manage to make him feel secured and loved at the same time.  I was intentional at making everyday moments fun and happy even if I had to do it alone those days.  Jollibee was our ultimate hang out place before I go to work, and as his favorite pasalubong.

Jollibee released their newest heartfelt video which showed how parents making the most of the time they spend with their children by making everyday activities such as playtime, snack time, bath time, and bedtime more fun and memorable.  I totally remembered myself when I was a full-time working mom.  I braved the traffic, the rain, finished deadlines, just to be home on time to make it before my son's bedtime.  Watch this video, for sure many of you can relate to this sweet-sarap moments complemented by a classic favorite that has captured the hearts of Pinoy kids of different generations: Jolly Spaghetti.
“The latest Jolly Spaghetti video is our tribute to Filipino parents who tirelessly find ways to connect and bond with their children, even in the smallest ways like sharing their favorite sweet-sarap treat,” said Cathleen Capati, Jollibee AVP for Marketing – Flagship Category. “Childhood always goes by so fast and for parents, it’s important to enjoy and cherish every moment with our children.”

I agree that daily activities with kids make a great bonding time with the kids.  Though I am a full-fledged stay-at-home-mom now since I resigned last February, there are still days that I have to be reminded of this.  Kids first before chores.  Kids first before anything else.  Thanks Jollibee for the simple reminder of how bonding time is important for kids.  They grow up soon and I don't want to miss important years in their lives when I am still needed - I have to be present.
