School days can be hectic. My kids go to a traditional school, which means more quizzes and homework. Plus, there’s two of them so I need to do times two of everything. Now that it’s summer, I make it a point to maintain a schedule for them. Otherwise, the kids will end up using their […]
One of the most anticipated events in our daughter’s school is their Family Day every February. Instead of the usual Valentine’s celebration, the school decided to make this as a day that allows families to bond and do various activities together. During the previous years, the school held the celebration inside the school premises. This […]
One of the many bondings my family and I did back then was to go on a staycation. Apparently, this “tradition” was passed on to my kids, who equally love to go to hotels. We weren’t able to go on a vacation trip with the kids last summer since the husband and I were loaded […]
Aug 20, 2022 | Mom Life, Tips and Tricks Two years ago, our kids (and us, too!) were confronted with a new learning modality: online classes. We experienced a lot of challenges including connectivity issues, adjusting to the new mode of learning, and distractions at home, which could affect the child’s… Apr 6, 2022 | […]
Apr 17, 2020 | Money and Saving Admit it. This whole Covid-19 pandemic and the entire island being placed under Enhanced Community Quarantine tested us physically, emotionally, and mentally. Worse, it also affected us financially. After all, not all industries could implement work-from-home options…. Jan 15, 2020 | Money and Saving I was 10 when […]
It’s back to school once again. One of the biggest challenges (so far) during school days – aside from waking up early – is preparing baon for my little one. As much as possible, I want to prepare healthy, natural meals and avoid store-bought snacks for my daughter’s baon. At the same time, my daughter’s […]
One of the popular things to do when in Hanoi is to visit Ha Long Bay, which is a three-hour bus ride from the country’s capital. During our trip, Ha Long Bay was not really part of our itinerary since we went there for business reasons. I think the Vacation gods heard my plea and […]
Writing was never really my first choice. In fact, I only do it because I’m required to, not that I want to. Before my writing stint, I had it all planned out – law school, family by the time I reach 30, a blossoming career. But the tides have changed and I found my way […]
Every summer, my family and I often travel to different places. It could be trips to Tagaytay to eat bulalo in a cool weather, overnight beach trips in Subic and Batangas, going to Baguio so we can wear our coats and jackets – and eat strawberries too, and even visiting Disneyland to see Mickey Mouse. […]
Once upon a time, my dream was to be a lawyer. The words “business,” “entrepreneur,” or “businesswoman” were not even part of my vocabulary. Fast forward to my 30s and I found myself managing our own business. Yep, I call myself as a mom entrepreneur or a mompreneur. READ: Is it a good time to […]
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 Tagaytay, we decided it could be a good opportunity to have a weekend away from […]
One of my favorite go-to restaurants is Mexicali. On rare occasions that my husband and I decided to watch a movie on the big screen, we always pass by Mexicali to order ground beef burrito and cheese and garlic quesadilla for our movie snack. Last weekend (and because we forgot to bring extra cash for lunch […]
We do our best to raise our girls in a positive and loving environment. Still, I would often hear them say, “I’m the hated child” or “Nobody loves me” or “Fine, I’m a bad girl” every time we call their attention for doing something not expected of them. I’m not sure where they got those […]
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 […]
