She’s sunshine and rainbows, tulips and butterflies. Rachel‘s blog always makes me feel good. It’s definitely a blog that radiates good vibes, and that is why I am drawn to it.
I always look forward to Yohanisms, little words of wisdom and humor from her son, Yohan. I also enjoy reading about her husband’s dishes and the trips they take as a family. Rachel is the sweet lady next door, one you know you can run to when you’ve ran out of eggs or just want to share good stories with over a cup of coffee.
The blogosphere is very rich and colorful. It’s filled with many personalities and characters, and somehow you find yourself magnetized to some more than others. Heart of Rachel is my vote for the Bloggers’ Choice Awards in this year’s Philippine Blog Awards. 
Check out her sweet blog here.
Hi! I'm Toni Tiu,
and I've been blogging at
at Wifely Steps since 2003. This started as a blog to help newly weds adjust to married life. It has evolved into a home and parenting blog. I write about things close to my heart -- good eats, good reads, family, marriage, and the little things that make everyday happy.

Your post means so much to me because you are after all the person who inspired me in blogging. I hope I can meet you in person soon. Take care.
