I love tofu, whether fried, baked, or even steamed. When I was younger, I remember my lola making this tofu dish with oyster sauce, garlic, and some herbs I can’t recall. I could finish an entire plate of tofu in just one sitting, she had to set aside for other people in the house. LOL I wasn’t […]

Mother’s Day is celebrated every second Sunday of May. It is during this time when family members express love, care, and respect to their mothers (although this must be done any time of the year, yeah?) Over the years, Mother’s Day has become a national celebration. Restaurants give complimentary gift or food to moms who […]

When my eldest turned 7, we had a Shakey’s party as per her request. It wasn’t the grandest celebration compared to what we normally see in social media but hey, we spent money there. We wanted something similar for my youngest but unfortunately, Covid happened. Nonetheless, we still want to give our daughter a party […]

I’ll tell you a secret: I never thought I’d get into retail business, specifically grocery. I mean the husband and I discussed the possibility of putting up one, but we didn’t expect that it’ll happen that soon. Because of the pandemic and after seeing how groceries thrived during this challenging time, we decided to get […]

I was never business savvy. But by the end of 2020, I took a leap out of my comfort zone and opened a convenience store with my husband. Two years after, I joined my siblings and opened a coffee shop. Modesty aside, the stores and café are doing well. We’ve been getting regular customers, too. […]

I used to imagine myself as a lawyer or a career woman. But stay-at-home mom? Nah, that’s not me and never in my wildest dream did I imagine of becoming one. Well, until I found myself having two kids below two and quitting law school. To be honest, it wasn’t easy. Money was not an […]

Aug 20, 2022 | Mom Life, Tips and Tricks Two years ago, our kids (and us, too!) were confronted with a new learning modality: online classes. We experienced a lot of challenges including connectivity issues, adjusting to the new mode of learning, and distractions at home, which could affect the child’s… Jun 19, 2022 | […]

I’ve been reading a couple of articles about Paper Moon. I wanted to try it as soon as I can because a) I love crepe, b) I love cake, and c) I’m curious. I remembered tasting one from a popular coffee shop and didn’t like it at all. I was seriously hoping this one won’t […]

Sep 18, 2021 | Mom Life, Random Thoughts Let’s be real here: having a helper is a luxury these days. Even if we can afford to pay for one (or two!), finding a reliable, responsible, and trustworthy household help is almost next to impossible. So, if you’re a mom with a reliable helper that can […]

Mar 20, 2022 | Uncategorized 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…

Have you seen the video posted in Elica’s official Facebook page? If not, it’s about a group of mommas, or Eczemoms, who shared about their “firsts” when they noticed those rashes on their kids’ skin. It feels good to know that there are other moms out there who felt and went through the same thing […]

My baby A is turning three this December and by next school year, we are planning to enroll her for preschool. I was super excited to go preschool hopping and see how my daughter will fare compared to kids her age. At the same time, I want to see how she interacts with other kids […]

I always make it a point to bake every week. And last week, I decided to combine fruit cocktail and brownies into one. When it comes to brownies, people always use nuts, chocolate chips, corn flakes or even colored sprinkles. I have never eaten a brownie with fruits in it (okay fine, I tried the ones […]

Finally, after more than a year of blogging under the WordPress umbrella, I finally mustered the guts to drop it and make it on my own. As you all know, I started out under the name “Momhandsarefull,” mainly because my hands are simply full of things and responsibilities. I just used “The Momma Chronicles” as a heading […]
