Our Journey Towards a Zero-Waste, Healthier Lifestyle

Image
Okay, so maybe "zero-waste" sounds a bit intense, even to me. But the idea sparked when I started really looking at our home, at how much stuff we have, and where it all goes when we're done with it. It's not about being perfect, it's about trying to be more mindful.   This isn't a list of things to buy or habits to change (though, let's be honest, there will be some of that!). It's about a shift in how I think about things. It's about letting go of some things I love (yes, it's hard!), figuring out new ways to do things, and seeing if I actually prefer the new ways. Sometimes I will, sometimes I won't, and that's okay!   My big, slightly crazy, goal? To bring nothing into our home that can't be recycled, composted, or buried in the garden. I know, right?  But even small steps in that direction feel good. It's about thinking about the whole life cycle of something before I buy it.   And then there's the food thin...

Safe Boundaries + Strategic Prevention: Parenting the Latter-day Saint Way

Image
As members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints , we’ve always found strength in the Lord’s teachings about families —He calls parents to be “ nurturers of their children” (Doctrine and Covenants 68:25), and that sacred role means more than just providing for physical needs. It means guiding them with love, wisdom, and intentionality. In this blog, we want to share two principles that have transformed how we approach parenting in our own home.   SHOW LOVE BY SETTING SAFE BOUNDARIES   For years, we worried that setting rules would make our children feel restricted or unloved. But as we studied and strive to live the gospel, we learned that discipline is not punishment—it’s an act of love. Just as our Heavenly Father sets commandments to protect us and help us grow, we set boundaries to keep our children safe in a world that can feel uncertain.   When children know they are cared for by parents who are self-controlled, prayerful, and g...

A Heartwarming Act of Generosity

Image
Recently, our family had the privilege of experiencing a truly heartwarming act of generosity. The Johnsons, a remarkable couple, extended their kindness by providing us with nourishment during our volunteer work at the Urdaneta Philippines Temple Open House. Amidst our busy schedule, we found ourselves in need of sustenance to replenish our energy. Just when we were feeling the fatigue of our volunteer work, the Johnsons came to our rescue. They generously provided us with a delicious meal that not only satisfied our hunger but also lifted our spirits. Their thoughtfulness and selflessness were truly remarkable.   As we sat together, enjoying the meal prepared by Sister Johnson herself, we couldn't help but feel overwhelmed with gratitude. The simple act of providing nourishment became a powerful symbol of support and appreciation. It reminded us that our efforts were valued and that we were not alone in our mission to serve others.   The impact of the Johnsons' g...

Choices, Not Circumstances: Take Charge of Your Life

Have you ever stared at your to-do list at 10 PM, wondering how you ended up juggling so much—like your boss’s last-minute requests, family expectations, and even a string of little setbacks that just keep piling up? Maybe you’ve felt like life is steering you, not the other way around—like your job, relationships, or even plain old bad timing are calling all the shots, and you can’t do much to change course. We’ve all been there. But here’s what no one tells you: you hold more power over your life than you realize. The secret isn’t controlling what happens to you—it’s taking ownership of how you choose to respond, and letting go of the idea that you’re at the mercy of your circumstances..   Big or Small—Every Choice Shapes Your Life   We all recognize that major decisions alter our path. Starting a new job, moving to a different city, or choosing to marry or divorce—these moments clearly shift how we live. But what we often overlook is that small, everyday choices have just ...

Walking The Covenant Path: From Baptism To Eternity

Image
FamilySearch Walking The Covenant Path: From Baptism To Eternity Walking The Covenant Path: From Baptism To Eternity Contributed By C Crisanta Estayo Padilla My journey began a long time ago, on the special day of my baptism. It was the very first step I took onto the beautiful covenant path. It was the moment I promised to follow Jesus Christ, and from that day forward, my life was set on a course toward eternal happiness. Years passed, and as I grew in faith and understanding, my journey continued to unfold. The next greatest milestone came when I entered the Holy Temple and was sealed in marriage to my eternal love. That day marked the wonderful continuation of the same path I started as a child. What began with promises made at baptism became even more perfect and complete as we made eternal promises together. In the temple, we were united not just for this life, but for time and all eternity. Looking back, I realize how simple and clear it all is. We do not have to wal...

Suitor and Father Moment

Image
8 October 2023, Recreating moments 25 years ago, while Anatolin was visiting me at home at the age of 15, my father asked to go out with him to buy "ulam" (viand or dish). While walking, it was in this same spot at Callejon St., our old home in Bauang, La Union where my father advised him to go on a mission first. He then served in the Philippines Cagayan De Oro Mission at 19 for 2 years. In October 2003, one month after his mission, we got engaged and eventually married in the Manila Philippines Temple in 2005. Fast forward 2023, our children love listening to that moment of their dad with their grandfather and revisiting this memorable spot.  Talking about the story, our 17-year old daughter Cerah, then asked her dad, "What would you do if someone visits me at home?" It was a long conversation but on the qualities Anatolin is looking for in our daughters’ suitors or boyfriends, he said the top on the list is being Christlike. Our children o...
