Life As We Know It

Holly Berenson is an up-and-coming caterer and Eric Messer is a promising network sports director. After a disastrous first date, the only thing they have in common is their dislike for each other and their love for their goddaughter, Sophie. But when they suddenly become all Sophie has in the world, Holly and Eric are forced to put their differences aside. Juggling career ambitions and competing social calendars, they'll have to find some common ground while living under one roof. Source


I recently watched this Katherine Heigl movie, Life As We Know It wherein she played the legal guardian of her godaughter when her bestfriend (the baby's mother) died from a tragic car accident.

I was really crying while watching it 'cause I can't help but think of my own daughter. What if i suddenly die? Who's gonna take care of her the way I do? Who's gonna anticipate her needs even before she asks? I know how it feels to lose a mother. I lost my mom when I was 12. I know first hand how hard it was to live without a mom. Especially for a girl. I don't want my daughter to go through that. Of course, she has my family and my in-laws. Truly thankful for them. But whether we like it or not, it's just different when you actually have a mom.

That's why i'm really grateful to God for blessing my husband with a home-based job that can support our financial needs and allow us all to just stay together at home every day.
