I have always been an independent person who valued her identity. This is one of my struggles as a married woman. I have always been comfortable in the place where I grew and felt that it was the best place for my children too. My husband has a business which has been doing fairly well but it requires him to travel for several hours a day to get from our home to his place of business. We had tried to delay moving our family nearer to his business but it was just not working. One of the hardest decisions in my married life was whether to stay at our home town which was safe and comfortable but would take away some precious time from my children and their Dad – or to move to the busy, chaotic, city but allow them to be with their Dad longer during the day. We decided to make the move. We still miss being in our place of comfort, but having more family time makes it worth it.

I love your LO Iris! Moving is really really hard. I admire your family. God Bless!
The layout is just perfect Iris! I saw this at creative therapy a few weeks back and I couldn't help but be awed by the simplicity, subtleness but grandness of your work. Just love your work. Thanks for the inspiration!
i've always love how you do your layouts, they're always beautiful and with heartfelt journaling.
Like this LO sis! I saw this LO even before you posted it, guess how? (Ask Arlene hehehe).
Glad to know that you did the right decision, atleast Bryan spends more time with Nicole and Cheska!
Thanks for inspiring us again!

hi Iris! love the new look of your blog! and as usual, your layouts are fantastic! thanks for always sharing them because they truly inspire :-D
Saw this LO in Creative Therapy. Gorgeous as always!
Hi Iris just dropping by to get more inspiration from your blog. We are so proud of you. You have reached places through a hobby that you really love. You helped people like me grow as a scrapper too. Great job@!
Hi, Iris. I always keep coming to your blog because there's just so much inspiration. You do beautiful work talaga.
I can imagine how hard it is to feel that you have to uproot your family. But choosing family and God above everything else, even the familiar and comfortable, will always lead you in the right path.
God bless you and guide you always. =)
P.S. I love October Afternoon! I have the first paper collection unopened kasi super love ko sya at ayaw ko na galawin. =)
*hugs*

lovely LO Iris. Love how you put everything together.
How could a road kit destined to be used for travel (or so I thought) would be used like this? So heartfelt! Amazing ka talaga!
I can imagine it wasn't an easy decision. I still live in the city where I've been born and at the moment I guess I won't leave it forever. But you never know what's coming up, so maybe I'll have to move someday. Auch.
I love this page! It's a subject close to my hear too. We moved to London for 1,5 years ago and it was tough to leave our beloved Sweden. I hope you can make the most of Manila and return to your old place later in life!
good luck with the move - I am sure with your beautiful family you will create a loving and caring new home - best wishes xxx
great layout as always Iris, so inspiring and the journaling is so heartfelt.
Cant get enough of your pages Iris! It went from strength to strength! truly inspirational
always loved your layouts =)
Beautiful layout and story. Thanks for sharing Iris!
I love your LO, Iris especially the journaling.
Just beautiful!!! I too think that's a hard decision, but having more family time is so important especially when the kids are still so young.
I love your layout and can identify with your story. Thank you for the inspiration!
Both the LO and the story behind it are great!
Home is where the heart is!
