do you know what “mahal kita” means? 🇵🇭

… “I love you” in Tagalog!

I’m so proud of my Filipino culture - the food, the nurturing, family-centric values! (Ask any of my friends… if you come to my house, you won’t leave hungry!)

Plus my mom is one of ELEVEN siblings, so get-togethers are a partyyyy!

One of our favorite desserts is ube - made from a purple yam native to the Philippines (ever had taro? It’s kinda like that!)

So I just HAD to make an ube-inspired cow for my ice cream cow drop > Fri, May 5! 🐮💜

And it’s extra ”kaibig-ibig” (adorable) with this “mahal kita” macrame rainbow and flower from fellow Filipino-American maker Stacy // @kn0tty_by_nature ✨

She’s incredibly talented and wonderful, and her shop is currently having a 10% off Mother’s Day Sale on all knotty goodies. I bought a second rainbow to give to my mama. Go check Stacy out and give her a follow! 💜
