Her fun decorations – including banderitas with her name laser cut into the design – were by K Signs and Designs, and her colorful cake was by Sweet Creations by Mums.

The making of our Mexican Fiesta party for Julia’s 21st last night... One of the ways I show my children my love for them, is by making their birthday parties special. Ever since they were little, I put together a theme, and try my best to do it all on a tight budget. I run to Kamuning Market to buy tela and have table cloths sewn, according to theme, I run to QC circle for plants, Dapitan for props and even Divisoria for toys and other supplies. Each year, they challenge me to outdo my previous party. I happily take on the challenge, and hope they know how much their birthdays mean to me, the day God blessed me with their birth. #ILoveBeingTheirMom
