The first time I learned about Lakbay Museo, I told the husband that we should go and visit. The kids are starting to become more familiar about the Philippines, thanks to AP subject, so we figured that going there will be a good idea. Plus, they will appreciate it more since they have a better […]

My husband and I have been together for almost nine years, boyfriend-girlfriend stage included. In those years, for some reason, we don’t travel that much. I mean we do, but destinations include places we can only travel by car. The farthest we went to was Batangas, when we had to attend a wedding, and Baguio […]

Sometime in 2019, my sisters and I decided to get a Belgian Waffle franchise. We were participating in a bazaar in UP Town Center and we noticed that the Belgian Waffle branch beside us were selling well. Before 2019 ends, we were in constant communication with the company and already processed our partnership. Unfortunately, the […]

It’s official: Squid Game is now Netflix’s biggest show to date. The show became a global sensation that the actors and actresses in the story became instant stars (although they’ve been in the Korean entertainment industry for quite sometime). Jung Ho Yeon even gained massive following on Instagram, surpassing Hallyu stars Song Hye Kyo and […]

Since I got pregnant, we always celebrate Mother’s Day in Fontana with my side of the family. However, this year was different. No out of town trips and fancy restaurants on the menu. However, we celebrated it at home with food that is much better than restaurants.  Anyway, I woke up extra early to prepare […]

Last December 2019, we went to Lakbay Museo as part of my eldest’s birthday celebration. The kids are more aware now of what Philippines has to offer, thanks to their AP subject. For summer of 2020, we wanted to bring the kids to different museums in the metro. We want to make them appreciate our […]

Establishing a child’s study or homework habits can be challenging. After all, what worked for me will not necessarily work with my kids.  When I was younger, I remember studying on my own because I’m scared of the idea that my mom will teach me. I don’t like being shouted at, so to prevent that […]

Aug 31, 2022 | Books We take reading seriously. Aside from English literature, I always make it a point to buy Filipino books because: I want the kids to be more familiar and well-versed in Filipino;Filipino books are great instruments in introducing our history, culture, and tradition to… Apr 18, 2022 | Books, Tips and […]

Disclosure Statement: This is a sponsored post and contains an affiliate link. October is among our favorite months. For starters, it’s the kids’ semestral break, which means one week of no classes. This also means vacation for us. Also, it’s Halloween! Of course, things are different this year because of the pandemic. There are no […]

Out of the country trips with the kids is something the husband and I decided to delay. As much as possible, we want the kids to remember and enjoy what they saw instead of us pushing around strollers. Plus, I’m not comfortable travelling abroad with two babies in tow. Of course, that’s just us and […]

Since my eldest daughter discovered the world of YouTube, coupled with her reading and spelling skills, she can look for videos on her own and rarely seeks my help. I was surprised to see her watching videos of kids in big playgrounds, as she calls them, with slides and ball pit. Since then, she constantly […]

I have a confession to make: I got pregnant before I was married to my then boyfriend, now husband. It was summer of 2011 and first year in law school just ended when I found out I had a bun in the oven. Obviously, my parents weren’t very happy about it. My (sort of) conservative […]

Let’s admit it parents. One of the challenges of being a parent, aside from making them eat veggies and keeping them still when in public places, is making our kids sleep EARLY. I must say, it was a challenge for me. My kids used to sleep at 10 or 11pm when they were younger, although […]

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 learning experience. Fast forward today, we’re finally back to face-to-face classes. Well, sort […]
