Quezon City, September 17, 2014 – As mothers, you will do anything for your child. Even way before they are brought into this world, your instincts kick in and you tirelessly worry about your baby. You want to learn everything there is to learn and more importantly, you want to protect them from anything and […]
There are many things married couples should look into and decide on: family home, child’s education, how to raise kids, savings account, and yes, a family car. A family car. Personally, I do not consider car as an investment. The moment it steps out of the casa, the value immediately depreciates. Once you decide to sell it, […]
Did I mention I am yaya-less for the past few weeks? Despite the extra work at home, being yaya-less could be liberating, which means there is privacy too. Apparently for me, this means my OCD is making its way again…. Continue reading → Confession: I have OCD. Well, sort of. It is manageable but I […]
I love Baguio. Aside from the weather, growing up in that place brings back so many childhood memories stored in my memory bank. But because of school and pregnancies, it took me years before I was able to get back… Continue reading →
I love pasta in all forms. Since then, I prefer cooking my own pasta meals instead of buying from restos. It was a good thing my husband loves pasta too, which makes it easier for me in the kitchen since I am not the best cook around. Few weeks ago, we attended our neighbor’s birthday […]
I am a new parent so I’m still in the process of learning everything about motherhood. I have not much experience in handling kids (taking care of my nieces and nephews for an hour doesn’t count) until I had my own. I’ve also heard a lot of complaints from parents with two-year old kids. Now I […]
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 […]
I just realized that I’ve been working as a freelance writer for almost three years now. So far, this “career” helped me manage my personal needs and the earnings are good enough to allow me to splurge on my kids. Being a freelance writer also opened different opportunities for me and it makes me feel […]
When I was pregnant with my first child, I seldom use cloth diapers. In fact, I even find it messy and inconvenient. As a result, disposable diapers ate up a big chunk on our weekly grocery. I didn’t even know how to budget yet and just bought the diaper brand recommended by my relatives without […]
How many times do you feel that 24 hours is not enough? Most of the time, we feel so busy and preoccupied, we don’t notice where the time went. Worse, we feel like we’ve been doing a lot and yet, we can’t cross out anything on the To Do list. Don’t worry. It’s all about […]

Parenting is a journey, and is one that should definitely not be done alone. We all know that the support of those around us is extremely important, and that’s why this weekend’s special events at Medela House are all about giving moms and dads the support they need. Help your yaya learn how to support […]
If you checked my posts about the recipes I do at home, you will notice that I always use chicken and pork. I’m no kitchen diva and cooking is not really my thing so I stick to the basics. My husband and I are not fans of going out during V-Day. Instead of a fancy […]
2015 was generally a good year for me. It was a year of firsts, major decisions, opportunities, and some roadblocks along the way – which I happily accepted. Some tested my patience while there are instances that made me thankful and blessed. Overall, I was happy with how my year turned out and I’m not […]
