Who am I? Hello there! I’m Ayi, the momma behind this blog, The Momma Chronicles. I am a former banker turned law student turned stay-at-home mom with two wonderful, adorable and beautiful baby girls. Aside from being the boss of my own home and a super momma, I am also a freelance writer, an online […]
I have to be honest with my eating habits. Prior to pregnancy, I never paid that much attention to food. I eat whatever I want, whenever I want it. It was easy to lose weight back then and get back on the fitness track whenever I want to, so I never worried that much about […]
I have always been dependent on household helpers. Although my parents taught me to do chores when I was younger, I still find it easier and more convenient when someone do the dishes, laundry and cleaning for me. No, I am not lazy. I just have other things (such as my work and taking care […]
As a young and relatively new parent, I am excited to see my girls wear uniform, go to school, teach them with their homework, attend parent-teacher meetings, the works. And now, my time is about to come. Next year, we plan to enroll A for Nursery and see how she will do with the other […]
I find supermarket trips therapeutic. I get to spend alone time plus I enjoy discovering new products sold in the market. Unfortunately, grocery trips could mean “gastos” and if I’m not too careful, my grocery bill might balloon up. There was a time the husband and I spent more than P10,000 in our weekly grocery […]

Hands down, my kids probably have the most sensitive skin in the entire planet! A mosquito bite on their legs will turn black – and it takes weeks before the marks go away. However, this time is different. Photo from NIAID, Creative Commons, Flickr Weeks ago, I noticed red, scaly rashes on my eldest’s arm […]
I love travelling. I love the idea of visiting a new place, enjoying the community, trying new food, and being away from home even for a few days. Let’s admit it. Travel and saving are two concepts which often don’t go well together. When I was younger (and still living with my parents), travelling was […]

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” […]

Here’s how my morning goes: I wake at five or six in the morning, do chores, then cook breakfast for my family. I know this is wrong, but I usually cook a separate meal for my kids’ breakfast to encourage them to eat more. This means I often cook three different dishes (eggs included) in […]
