May 30, 2022 | Travels I am fascinated with and passionate when it comes to history. For me, it is something we should pass on to the next generation and at the same time, something we can learn from. Now that I have kids, I make sure that history is discussed at home and we […]
March 8 is an important day for women as we celebrate International Women’s Day with the aim to #BreakTheBias. As a mom to two girls, I want to make sure that my kids will grow up to be independent, strong-willed, and empowered. Setting a good example to my kids is something I am conscious of. […]
My girls are generally active kids. Tell them to stop moving for five seconds and it will be a struggle for them. Even while sitting, it is a constant effort for them to stay still. My youngest daughter has to play outside for a few minutes before she studies so she could concentrate. In school, […]
Motherhood isn’t about getting it right – every single time. HELLO THERE! Welcome to The Momma Chronicles. My name is Ayi, the momma behind this blog. I am a wife and mother to two beautiful girls who constantly test my sanity but would still move mountains for them. I used to be a freelance writer […]
Don’t get me wrong. I love my kids. This is just my story about depression and what I do to handle it. I never thought depression will knock at my door. Ever since, I’ve always been the happy-go-lucky person who doesn’t take life seriously. I always have a cheerful, positive disposition and you will rarely […]
I am such a sucker for quickie meals. I am able to save time from cooking, which I could use to do other equally important stuff – like doing the laundry or teaching my kids. This is why I enjoy preparing make-ahead meals because it is so convenient, time-friendly, and I don’t have to worry […]
If there is one thing I’m best at in the kitchen, its eating. We always have a house helper who is in charge of cooking so I never worried about what to eat. That was until I became yaya-less for the NTH time. At present, I am in charge of almost everything in the house, […]
I’ve always wanted to be a lawyer ever since I could remember. Growing up in a family of lawyers, I thought being a lawyer is written in my destiny – and there’s nothing else I can be. Unfortunately not. After college, I didn’t pass any of the entrance exams I took in 3 different law […]
They say parents are the child’s first teacher. I agree. From the time our kids were born, we start introducing concepts like numbers and alphabets. I spent money buying books, educational CDs, and toys that could help them in their development. Although homeschooling is out of our options, I still made sure that the kids […]
After two years into this pandemic, I believe all of us already developed the habits of washing hands and carrying alcohol wherever we go. At home, disinfecting is a must because I’m willing to do anything to make sure that the virus won’t affect our family. This is why I am always on the lookout […]
You know the thing I like about New Year? It allows me to start all over again. I am given another 365 days in my life so why not make the most out of it, right? For this year’s resolutions, I vow to become the best mom for my kids. Here’s what I will do. […]
I am fascinated with and passionate when it comes to history. For me, it is something we should pass on to the next generation and at the same time, something we can learn from. Now that I have kids, I make sure that history is discussed at home and we try to incorporate it every […]
One of the things that every momma should aspire for is some alone time, even for a few minutes. Last December 1, 2018, I (finally) got that much needed break when I attended, for the first time, Mommy Bloggers Philippines’ Christmas Party held at Icon Hotel in Timog. Now on its 5th year, the MBP […]
I dread classic literature. Seriously. Especially Shakespeare. When I was younger, I always had a hard time understanding the words and trying to comprehend what the author is trying to say. There was no Internet back then, so I had to either buy those cheat sheets from National Bookstore or ask my mom to translate. […]
