Life frequently presents us with obstacles all at once. My days are filled with a flurry of activity as a mother of two amazing kids, a devoted wife, an enthusiastic teacher, and an ambitious online seller. My goal is to provide a kind and encouraging environment for my family in every task I take on. Here is a peek into my day-to-day activities where I manage several responsibilities, each with unique challenges and benefits.
Motherhood: The Center of the Home
The most rewarding and challenging job I have ever had is being a mother. The two most important things in my life are my two children. My life changed drastically the moment they were born. The rush of getting them ready for school, making sure they eat breakfast, and putting together their lunches begins each day. What keeps me going is their interest, joy, and even their occasional tantrums.
Seeing them develop and learn is one of the pleasures of being a mother. I spend a lot of time with my son and my daughter, teaching them fundamentals and providing tutorial assistance. These are priceless and unique moments. I become so proud and happy when I see their eyes light up when I praised them of their works.
Wife Duties

My life is made more joyful and responsible by my supporting husband's dual role as a barangay official in Salag, Tabogon, Cebu. Our affection for our family and our shared obligations improve our relationship. On our farm, we labor together to cultivate veggies like spinach, eggplants, peppers, and kangkong. This strengthens our relationship by giving us valuable time together in addition to fresh vegetables.
My spouse's on-call welding and electrical abilities, in addition to his barangay responsibilities, bring a new perspective to our life. His capacity to offer these services improves our community and our finances at the same time.
Creating Futures: Teaching
For me, being a teacher is a passion rather than just a job. I have the very big responsibility of forming children's minds and fostering their development as a teacher. Witnessing students acquire new knowledge and enhance their abilities is immensely satisfying. In the classroom, every day is a brand-new journey full with obstacles and victories.
My commitment to education goes beyond the classroom. I've been customizing Microsoft Word exercises, as well as data structures and algorithms, for students studying criminology and information technology to make sure they have the abilities needed for their future employment.
Selling Things Online
My modest business, Hanzernestine's Shop, was founded out of a desire to make a greater impact on my family's well-being. My business specializes in inexpensive cosmetic products, reasonably priced ready-to-wear clothing, reasonably priced treats, and reasonably priced household goods. My everyday tasks include maintaining inventory, using an Excel spreadsheet to manage stocks and sales, and promoting our items on social media.
Family is Everything: My Motivating Factor
My family is the reason for all I do, including being a wife and mother, teacher, and manager of my small business. My primary concerns are for their pleasure and well-being. Our December 2022 journey to Daanbantayan, Cebu, is evidence of this. I gave back and made wonderful memories with my family by taking them on a vacation to Bougainvilla Beach Resort, where they could enjoy the fine beach, crystal-clear sea, and swimming pool.
I show my family my love and care in subtle ways, like by making desserts for special occasions and cooking dishes. These small moments are what give life meaning. Despite their simplicity, these moments are what give life significance and uniqueness.
Although juggling these responsibilities is difficult, it is very rewarding. Every day is evidence of the fortitude and resiliency required by parenthood, marriage, education, and business. My motivation and focus are maintained by my family's love and support, the pleasure of teaching, and the fulfillment that comes from managing my own business.
Life is a wonderful adventure with many highs and lows. I am able to nurture my family and follow my ambitions at the same time because I embrace each duty with love and dedication. Although the path is difficult, the benefits are immense. Everything is meaningful when you are able to smile, achieve something, and spend time with someone. Ultimately, everything is done for my family, who are the center of my existence and the inspiration for everything. For sure, all the working moms can relate to this. Thank you for reaching this far. Until the next one.
