I have always been a fan of headbands. For me, it is a perfect accessory to add life to a boring or bad hair day. When I had my first child, I always made sure to buy tons of clips and headbands to complete her girly look. And I did the same when my second […]
I love shopping but I definitely love it more when I shop for my kids, although I try my best to be reasonable and stay within budget. So I have to thank whoever person who invented online shopping because everything else is so easy and convenient and of course, a lot cheaper. Upon the “death” […]

Let’s face it: getting rid of technology can be a difficult thing to do. Everywhere you go, you will always see children holding iPads and can even use iPhones like a pro. I am guilty of this too since iPad has kept my kids still every time we’re in a public place. Still, this doesn’t […]

When I was still single, I don’t care about money. I spend most of my salary shopping and eating out with friends. In fact, I don’t have that much savings. When I started to have my own family, everything else is different. All of a sudden, it’s all about the expenses at home AND kids […]
Last Holy Week 2011, before I found out I was pregnant with my first child, my husband (then boyfriend) and his family went to Ilocos. It was a first time for me and it’s definitely an experience I’ll never forget. The travel was really exhausting. 16-hour drive is no joke and we were all cramped […]
I live and breathe worksheets. I have this habit of looking for free worksheets, printing them, and placing them in a clear book so my kids have something to do during spare time. Plus, I want to limit their screen time so I keep them engaged in worksheets and workbooks as much as possible, aside […]

Because you don’t know what public service means. Sometime last week (or two weeks ago), my husband was flagged down by a NLEX marshal […]

20 years ago, breastfeeding is not mandatory in hospitals. Fast forward today, most hospitals encourage and even consider breastfeeding as a mandatory requirement. When I gave birth to my first child, I didn’t consider breastfeeding as a primary option. I did breastfeed for two months but my baby was formula-fed most of the time. Plus, […]
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 […]
That Momo issue has been going around for days and how it encourages kids to do things like self-harm and suicide. I remember last Tuesday, my sister-in-law informed me about this and I was surprised to find out about it. Coincidentally on that same night, a co-parent shared an article about this in our Viber […]
