I had a vision of a perfect mom. She is a mom who keeps the house clean and clutter-free with toys neatly organized in color-coded boxes, serves yummy and nutritious food to her family while the kids eat everything that is placed on their plates, trains her kids to keep them behaved, teaches her kids […]
My husband and I love eating out. On date nights, we enjoy trying out new restaurants and getting back to old favorites. Now that we have two kids tagging along, it is hard (and stressful!) to eat out. What we do is we just buy ingredients from the grocery and cook at home. One of […]
Let me tell you something about myself: I gained 50 pounds after my first pregnancy. Yes, I was big back then, so I made sure I’ll get back in shape as soon as I can. Since I gave birth through caesarean section, I had to wait for two months before I was able to exercise. […]
We never travel abroad with our girls but we sure do bring them in different places in and out of the metro. Tagaytay has always been a favorite since it’s nearer and the weather is just right. Fontana is always a pleaser whenever we want to get away in the city. This year, my family […]
One of the things I dread these days is getting older. I know it’s inevitable, that’s why as early as now, I make it a point to take care of my skin. Being a mom of two hyperactive girls with no yaya, with online stores and online job to manage, shopping for skin products often […]
We want our daughters to study in my Alma Matter. Since we have “issues” (it’s a long story), one of the requirements is that we have to be interviewed by Sister Jo, the school directress. During our interview, which went well by the way, the directress shared how the school have to adapt to K-12 […]
I always see House of Wagyu every time we go to Cardinal Santos for the girls’ checkup. At the same time, I saw some friends who ate in the said restaurant and gave good reviews about it. Since it’s our anniversary and my husband and I are both into steaks, we decided to give it […]
Valentine Week is often Family Week in my daughter’s school. Instead of the usual hearts and chocolates, they culminate the week-long activities with Family Day, usually every Friday. There are family games, a presentation from the students, and capped off by salu-salo. This year, GPS decided to do it differently and made it more personal. From […]
“Ma’m, gusto ko na po umalis. May sakit ang anak ko / may emergency po sa amin. Kailangan ko po umuwi.” How many times have you heard this line – and more? Countless times, that’s for sure. Don’t worry. You are one of the thousands of mommas (including me!) who are helper-less and trying to juggle […]
Sometime in December 2015, my eldest daughter got a Lego set as a Christmas gift from one of her classmates. Since then, she became addicted to it, prompting us to buy this – Lego can be a bit pricey, but my husband and I saw how much our kids enjoy playing and building whatever they can […]
I was waiting for my preschooler outside the classroom so I decided to browse my reliable online magazines to keep me busy. Then I came across this simple recipe, which includes breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese and pork chop. It’s been a while since I last set foot on the kitchen and cook something for the family. […]

When I was looking for a school for my eldest daughter, I found out that there are three types of school setting implemented in the Philippines: traditional, Montessori, and progressive (you can learn more about it here).After doing research, attending tons of preview classes, accepting the fact that homeschooling is out of the option, and […]
If there is something I can eat everyday, it’s Spanish food. Growing up with my lola around, I got used to the smell of Paella, arroz ala cubana, croquettes and salpicao in our home. Since then, Spanish food always made me feel like home and reminds me of my lola’s cooking. Sometime last week, I […]
