Kids are growing up too fast these days. At one point, they are just crying and pooping machines and the next thing you know, they can do things on their own and speak up their mind. This is why my husband and I always make it a point to spend time with the kids as […]
I remember my eldest daughter being so fascinated with rainbows. It must’ve been because of Trolls or the videos she watched in YouTube about making rainbows that she constantly bugs me to make one. Since I’m the least artistic person in the house, I decided to keep it simple. By simple, this means downloading a rainbow picture […]
When I found out I was pregnant, I can’t help but think about this million-dollar question: who will be my child’s ninongs and ninangs? The tradition of choosing godparents date back to the early days of Catholic Church in consonance with the sacrament of Baptism. Since then, godparents became crucial in helping parents raise a child […]
One of the ways to keep me sane is to meet up with friends. It doesn’t happen very often because of busy schedules, but we do our best to find time. It helps me refresh, get away from home even for a few hours, and think about other things aside from kids. Last weekend, I […]
When I was planning our Hanoi trip, I constantly bugged the husband to allot one day for sightseeing because I really want to go to Ha Long Bay. He couldn’t promise since, well, that was supposed to be a business trip, but if time permits, we’ll give it a go. Thankfully, the universe conspired with […]
From the moment the President announced that the entire Luzon will be placed under lockdown, I knew it will go beyond April 15. True enough, it was extended until end of April and then extended to another 15 days. To be honest, I wasn’t ecstatic about it. I felt that certain measures should’ve been made […]
My daughter had their rehearsal at Bulwagang Claret for their Moving Up Day. Since the teachers agreed that no parents and guardians will stay inside the venue, my sister and I decided to go around Maginhawa Street and look for a place to stay and kill time. Then we found Caffera. I read about Caffera many […]
Just yesterday, I read online about a toy collector and social media personality who was looking for a contractor for his property in Bulacan. But instead of paying a certain amount for services rendered, he offered a collaboration and ex-deal. This means a contractor will construct the second floor of his property in exchange of […]
If there’s one thing I learned about being a parent, it’s that it’s never easy. Couple this with what we see in social media (hello, perfect family where the parents seem to figure it all out) and that feeling that I’m doing the best for my kids is going down the drain. Then again, so […]
My youngest daughter has a strong personality. She’s not the one to back down or stay on the side when everyone else is playing. She’s the type who would like to dictate how the play goes, knows what she wants, say no to someone when she feels like it, and stands up for herself when […]
I have to admit – I don’t take insurance, including home insurance seriously. I rely on my paranoia abilities to ensure that incidents like fire will be minimized. Although unforeseen circumstances never happened to us before (and I hope it won’t happen to us), it’s really important to take necessary precautions in ensuring the safety […]
Who says Hearts Day is only for the lovers in the world? When you’re a mom, everything changes. Gone are the days when you can go for hours on a date with your husband without worrying about your kids and how they are doing. This Valentine’s Day, why don’t you put a twist to your […]
Growing up in the Summer Capital of the Philippines, Baguio will always have a special place in my heart. But because of school and pregnancies, it took a while for me to go back. So when my husband said he wanted to go to Baguio for December, I immediately said yes – and made reservations […]
I have to admit – travelling and saving don’t belong in the same arena. You’re out on a vacation. Why worry about money when you can just figure it out as soon as you get home, right? Well, that’s not how it’s supposed to be. When I was still younger, I never really paid attention […]
