I saw some videos on YouTube showing two-year old kids who could read and write. I must admit. I feel pressured to teach my kids early. Apparently, that’s not the case for me. After all, kids are different and each one of them had their own unique capabilities. Still, that didn’t stop me from teaching […]
I’ve been seeing a lot of posts about breastfeeding in my Facebook feed. At first, I thought it’s just a marketing campaign to promote breastfeeding in the world. After reading through various posts, I found out its World Breastfeeding Week so I decided to make this post about my own breastfeeding journey. Photo from Raphael Goetter, Creative […]

One of the things I always look forward to every time I travel is FOOD. I mean I’m on a vacation and one of the best ways to enjoy it is by eating, right? With our recent trip in Japan, the husband and I made sure that we will eat and experience authentic Japanese food […]
If you were to choose between being a housewife or a working woman, what would you choose? Thankfully, I got the best of both worlds. I gave up law school when I found out I was pregnant and embraced the role of being a housewife and stay-at-home mom. Apparently, I felt something was missing. I […]
It’s been months since I decided to make a shift from disposable nappies to cloth diapers – and I’m so glad I did. I like the way it looks, plus the amount of money I can save just by using one is something which cannot be taken for granted. Although I must admit, it’s a […]
I have a confession to make: my almost three-year old daughter still wears a diaper. Yup. So you can just imagine how much I spend on diapers every week with my two girls. But before you judge me for not potty training my child, well, you should know that I did. In fact, as soon […]
You know when they say that you’ll miss the kids once they get bigger. That’s true. At this point, my kids are slowly showing independence and I can’t help but get emotional. I remember when my eldest daughter started going to school. She was part of the Nursery 2 class and since it’s her first […]
School, whether preschool or big school, is a big stepping stone for our kids. Apparently, schools these days just won’t accept kids easily, regardless if you are an alumni or you know the owner of the preschool. One of the requirements you and your child has to comply with is the assessment. I have to be […]
Finding an OB-GYN that I’m comfortable with is already challenging for me. I had to rely on my MIL’s recommendation since pregnancy was sudden at that time. True to being a first-time mom, I didn’t have time scouting for a pediatrician. As it turns out, the usual practice in the Philippines is that every OB-GYN […]
My mom always tells me that education is the best gift she and my dad could give to me and my siblings. They worked hard to send us in the best schools and made sure that we will get the best and quality education. After all and based on my experience, where you graduated does […]
I can’t believe my Little J is going to preschool this coming June. I am one excited momma! Over the summer, I’ve been teaching concepts and skills, and incorporating different crafting activities with the kids to help my youngest for school. During the start of summer, she was wary of touching anything sticky and slimy, […]
One of my mom’s helpers has been with her for more than five years already. She was 17 years old at that time and knows nothing in the kitchen. She can’t even cook scrambled egg. With enough patience, she turned into one of the best cooks my mom ever had. One of the favorite dishes […]
