  "It is worth all the risk making yourself an enabler for those who have less in life." — Tin Fernandez-Relopez, Merchandising Operations Head The itch to find life's greater meaning and purpose presented itself.

| Calling all Human Nature mommies! We found a new hangout that you'll surely love. Whether you're witnessing your baby's firsts or having trouble raising a teen, motherhood can be challenging. This is why Human Nature's HR team started 'Nanay Network', a simple sit-down activity where moms can share their stories, ask for parenting advice, and even pass on their kids' hand-me-downs. "There are things that only fellow moms can understand. We want to lighten up the load and build a community of moms where you can share your experiences and learn from each other," Lalaine Coching said.  1) Marry a person who takes care of his or her family. In this day and age where love is measured by viral videos or grand gestures, it's easy to miss out on what matters: values. Tish Martinez-Castillo of Marketing shared that her dad's advice was to marry someone who would share the load –from doing house chores to parenting responsibilities. | |
