An open letter to my daughter on her 7th birthday. You love writing letters but now it's mommy's turn to give a smile on your face as you read this letter. 


An open letter to my daughter on her 7th birthday. l Life with ZG l Mommy Blogger PH l Solo Moms PH l Diary of a single mom


To my Zoe,


Seven years ago, you came unexpectedly.

My life changed 360 degrees, but I wouldn't trade it for anything.

Because since the moment I first saw you, I became whole.

Thank you for completing mommy.


Seven beautiful years with you.

Seven years of solo parenthood.

Seven years of exclusively breastfeeding.

Seven years of cosleeping.

Seven years of waking up to your morning snuggles and kisses.

Seven years of having you as my little best friend.

No fancy birthday party for your 7th, unlike your 1st birthday. Instead, we celebrated your birthday by traveling to enjoy the beach and went to an amusement park to celebrate. Building core memories matters, especially now that we're still in a pandemic.


An open letter to my daughter on her 7th birthday. l Life with ZG l Mommy Blogger PH l Solo Moms PH l Diary of a single mom


I see a lot of me in you, but you are a lot better.

You are the sweetest, loving, and caring little person I know.

You are so intelligent, talented, gifted, creative, passionate, and patient.

You are a beauty inside and outside.

You can do anything and everything!

Most importantly, know that you are loved by so many!

Mom will always be here to support and cheer for you.

Thank you for being you, I couldn’t ask for more in a daughter.


As much as I hope time could slow down, I'm excited and looking forward to everything that you’ll learn and experience this year. Know that the universe belongs to you, and you shall have it. Continue to shine bright and bloom into the best version of yourself every year. I wish and pray that God will continue to guide us in this journey. May all your wishes and dreams come through. 


Seven years have passed by so quickly, and I am sure it has been the best seven years! I will always be thankful that you came into my life. Thank you for choosing me to be your, mom. And to that someone, thank you for giving me a beautiful daughter to share this journey with. No worries, we're genuinely happy that it's just the two of us since day 0. 


Happiest birthday, my little one!

 You will always be mom's baby no matter how old you are. 

I love you so much, and I hope you know that! 

Let's continue to teach and learn from each other as we navigate this journey.


To more balloons we'll pop, candles to blow. cake to bake, albums and merch to buy, fangirling over BTS and beaches to see and explore! 


Love,

Mom

Last February, I celebrated my birthday at the beach with the family. I was just scrolling on Facebook and found this hidden gem at Calatagan, Batangas. 

Sharing this hidden gem at Calatagan, Batangas l Calumbuyan Point Review l Life with ZG l Mommy Blogger PH l DIY Travel PH



We stayed at Calumbuyan point. Check out and follow me on Tiktok for the room tour and more snaps at the beach.

@lifewithzoeandgen Room tour at Calumbuyan Point. #calatagan #calataganbatanggas #calataganbeach #travelph #travelphilippines #summer2022 #calumbuyanpoint #momsoftiktok #mommybloggerph ♬ Summer day - TimTaj


Calumbuyan point is far from the highway and it was a rough road. Good thing we arrived at around 8am. So heads up if you'll be traveling at night. The road is still under construction.


I booked the open cottage when I made a reservation but we changed our accommodation to Ohana cottage and Teepee house. Good thing there were available rooms that day.


The place is nice and the cottages are located on the hilltop. They also have a mini-store and they also serve food.

What we liked at Calumbuyan Point.


  • The place is so relaxing. We really enjoyed the breeze and the sounds of the waves. 
  • The common cr was also clean, though they only have 2 cubicles and 1 shower room for girls and boys. Fret not because currently, they are working on expanding the cr. 
  • It was not a crowded beach. Maybe because it's still new and we went there on a weekday. We almost had the beach all to ourselves.
  • The rooms were clean but not too spacious especially if you're with a large group. 
  • There is also a lifeguard. Zoe and I had the beach all to ourselves the whole afternoon and Kuya lifeguard was watching us from afar.
  • They also offer a kayak, bonfire, and a mini sari-sari store so you can buy some essentials.


Cons


  • They don't have complimentary towels or even toiletries for both rooms that we occupied. 
  • If you have kids like mine that love to play on the shoreline, maliit lang yung shoreline unlike sa mga beaches na napuntahan namin sa Calatagan and medyo mabato.
  • If tambay kayo sa beach like us, malayo yung cottage nyo sa mismong beach. Though my 3 open cottage sa baba sa malapit sa beach. Mas okay siguro dito yung Day tour kung beach ang habol.
  • Wala masyado ilaw sa gabi pababa lalo sa hagdan, kaya we opted not to do night swimming na lang kasi delikado bumaba. I hope they will put up more lights sa gabi.
  • Construction is on going, kahit gabi na may nag-gagawa pa din. (We went last February 21, so I'm not sure if may construction pa din.)


Verdict


Will we go here again? Yes, but will not opt to stay overnight so we can enjoy the beach more. Is it #ZGApproved? Yes, we had a great time naman at Calumbuyan point. Madaming Instagram worthy kaya kung awrahan and habol, sulit pa din naman dito and not crowded.


(Sorry, there are not many photos, since I intended not to upload our family pictures for privacy.)
