When my eldest started to eat solid food up until she’s 20 months, I never had problems feeding her. She can eat anything, including soup and vegetables. In fact, squash and broccoli are her favorites. For some unknown reasons, my baby stopped eating like she used to. All she wanted was breaded chicken from breakfast […]

Back in the day, remembering things is easy for me. In fact, I don’t need a planner to write down every single thing I need to do. Having a sharp memory became useful when I was still in law school since I could easily remember what I read. That was before. Right now, “forgetful” is […]

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 […]

As a result, our utility bill continues to rise every month, […]

Valentine Week is often Family Week in my daughter’s school. Instead of the usual hearts and chocolates, they culminate the week-long activities with Family Day, usually every Friday. There are family games, a presentation from the students, and capped off by salu-salo.   This year, GPS decided to do it differently and made it more personal. […]

Did you know that good oral hygiene must start even if your baby doesn’t have teeth yet? Simply wiping his/her gums with clean, damp washcloth is a great way to introduce dental hygiene and eventually get used to brushing teeth. This is something we do as recommended by our family dentist. As they get older, […]

I find supermarket trips therapeutic. I get to spend alone time plus I enjoy discovering new products sold in the market. Unfortunately, grocery trips could mean “gastos” and if I’m not too careful, my grocery bill might balloon up. There was a time the husband and I spent more than P10,000 in our weekly grocery […]

I was in my second year law when I found out I was pregnant with Baby Number Two. It was a complete shock of my life because I just came back from a one-year leave and here I am again, saying goodbye to my dream. When the term ended, my then-boyfriend-now-husband told me to quit […]

School – one of the biggest considerations every parent must look into. There are tons of options such as homeschooling, traditional school, progressive learning, and Montessori approach. Still, never in my wildest dream did I think that when school will start or how learning will be carried out will be an issue. Until Covid-19 happened. […]

I never planned to become a stay-at-home mom. In fact, I never considered it and thought of myself as someone with a stable career – with no kids. Of course, there’s a different plan for me and I found myself going towards the road called “Motherhood.”  You see, I was still in law school when […]

When I was younger, I have a security blanket that goes with the name “Cuy-cuy.” It was a white dog but with an elongated body, which I had until I was six years old. So yes, just imagine how it looks after all these years. Believe it or not, having a security blanket runs in the […]

Time flies really fast. And when you have kids, time flies even faster. At first, it’s all about changing diapers and milk and breastfeeding then all of a sudden, things change. The once striving little crawler is now running on her own. And I can’t believe that after two years, I need to start looking […]

I love the beach. SO MUCH – and especially during my dalaga days. When the husband and I were invited by his good friend to go to his wedding in Batangas, we immediately said yes. We get to see his friends and at the same time, an opportunity to spend some time together as husband and wife.  […]

When my husband and I started living together, we don’t really care about expenses, budgeting or even saving. In fact, our grocery bill can be as much as P8,000, buying items we don’t really need. We even go out every week for our “date night,” watching movies and eating out. After quite some time, we […]
