We want our daughters to study in my Alma Matter. Since we have “issues” (it’s a long story), one of the requirements is that we have to be interviewed by Sister Jo, the school directress. During our interview, which went well by the way, the directress shared how the school have to adapt to K-12 […]

I’ve been hearing a lot about Stacy’s from friends and relatives since two years ago. Because of busy schedule, I wasn’t able to find time and was only able to visit the place last Friday, October 4. My sisters, daughter and I decided to check out the place in Capitol Hills one afternoon. When I […]

I live and breathe worksheets. I have this habit of looking for free worksheets, printing them, and placing them in a clear book so my kids have something to do during spare time. Plus, I want to limit their screen time so I keep them engaged in worksheets and workbooks as much as possible, aside […]

The first time I saw Breakfast and Pies was when I was on my way to Camp Karingal because of a vehicular mishap (read all about it here). Since then, I’ve always wanted to give this resto a try. I read a lot about this too and the place called “Maginhawa” so I asked my sisters […]

Well, hello there, December. Just like that, we’re on to the last month of 2017 and in a few weeks, we will be welcoming a new year ahead of us. Before that, it’s time to bring out the Christmas tree, decorations, parol, and other Christmas paraphernalia, and get our homes ready for the most wonderful […]

I am tasked to pick up my daughter everyday after school and one time, our conversation went like this: L: Mommy, S (her classmate) is the winner in the Spelling Contest. I don’t like. I want to be the winner.  Me: That’s okay. There’s always next time.  L: No, I want to be the winner. […]

Let me tell you something: Sofitel will always have a special place in my heart.  When I was younger, my family and I would often go to Sofitel, then Westin, to celebrate important occasions – birthday, my parents’ anniversary, you name it. At times, Westin will always be our sweet escape. This is why the […]

Here’s how my morning goes: I wake at five or six in the morning, do chores, then cook breakfast for my family. I know this is wrong, but I usually cook a separate meal for my kids’ breakfast to encourage them to eat more. This means I often cook three different dishes (eggs included) in […]

I am writing this post with only less than five hours of sleep. Our house is a mess and there are piles of clothes waiting to be folded and placed in their respective cabinets. Good thing I had the energy to wash the dishes (a MUST before I go to sleep) and my kids sleep […]

I will never understand why kids these days must know how to read by the time they entered Kinder. Nonetheless, I still willingly complied because I want my kids to get accepted in the best schools and reading early could be an advantage for them as well.  I enrolled my eldest daughter in The Reading […]

Every year, schools conduct an educational field trip since learning doesn’t have to be confined in the four corners, right? Last year, my eldest daughter, who was Pre-K at that time in Gymboree, was scheduled to visit Dolljoy Museum in Pasig. Unfortunately, I got sick, so she wasn’t able to join.  When I found out […]

Many families are heading somewhere, whether out of the country or out of town, during Holy Week for some rest and relaxation. In case you are on your way to the province or anywhere in the metro and planning to […]

Let’s face it, mommas: When you become a mom, you are torn between keeping your career to be able to provide good and comfortable future for kids OR to stay at home and be with the kids. The truth is you can do BOTH. You can stay at home with your little tots and at […]
