Confession: I have OCD. Well, sort of. It is manageable but I hate it when everything goes out of order or when my kids’ toys are placed in the wrong box. I love keeping everything organized – and with proper labels for every container – to maintain order at home. This includes our kitchen. When […]
I wasn’t able to make a post during and after Christmas because of tons of stuff to do. Never mind, better late than never! Anyway, Christmas 2013 is the first “not pregnant” Christmas I will celebrate since I got pregnant with my first. So this is extra special. Plus, we spend Christmas at my parents’ […]

There are many things married couples should look into and decide on: family home, child’s education, how to raise kids, savings account, and yes, a family car. A family car. Personally, I do not consider car as an investment. The moment it steps out of the casa, the value immediately depreciates. Once you decide to sell it, […]
One of the most challenging parts of being a parent is imposing discipline on kids. On a lighter note, potty training is equally challenging too. I know because I had my fair share of boo-boos every now and then. Both my girls are in the toddler stage where they are starting to become more independent […]

This is one of the reasons why learning events that are especially focused on the various needs of families are becoming quite popular these days. Featured here are three such events, all happening this […]
I am a praning mom. My mom would always tell me to let the kids do their thing so they will learn on their own. But the idea of scratches, bruises and bumps on the head are some of the things I don’t want. I’m pretty sure my husband will agree with me on that. […]

I need to get some things done at home so I decided to pop the Frozen DVD on the player to keep my girls still and behaved. Thankfully, it worked. This is the usual scenario at home. My girls are into Disney movies that they even memorized the songs from Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, […]
I just realized that I’ve been working as a freelance writer for almost three years now. So far, this “career” helped me manage my personal needs and the earnings are good enough to allow me to splurge on my kids. Being a freelance writer also opened different opportunities for me and it makes me feel […]
When I found out I was pregnant, I can’t help but think about this million-dollar question: who will be my child’s ninongs and ninangs? The tradition of choosing godparents date back to the early days of Catholic Church in consonance with the sacrament of Baptism. Since then, godparents became crucial in helping parents raise a child […]
I made a lot of confessions on this blog and here’s another one: I used to swim in credit card debt years ago. It wasn’t that big since I paid for at least more than minimum every month before the due date. Still, whatever angle you look at, it is still DEBT. Thankfully, for my first […]
Finally, a weekend getaway. My kids, especially my eldest, are currently addicted to the zoo. Since it was my mom and sister’s birthdays and there is a zoo up north with more animals and activities compared to the one in… Continue reading →
