Hi I'm April!

I write from the heart of a Filipino home, where every recipe has a backstory, every hack is born of necessity, and every tip is tested by real life.

RelaxLangMom is my evolving diary of practical homemaking with flavor: tipid cooking, smart home tricks, honest reviews, and quiet reflections from the kitchen to the keyboard.

I’m a writer, mom, and weekend food alchemist who believes that simplicity is about doing what matters.
