Most of us can definitely relate that our mother’s scents will always be our most precious memories of them. Well, in my case, it was my Lola’s, who has been the mother of our family, even to all her grandchildren. Almost all of my cousins were “laki sa lola” just like me. So I dedicate this post to her. I grew up always looking forward to meal times because of the delicious aroma of her adobo and sinigang. Our Christmases were never the same when she was gone with the smell of her “ube halaya” which...

Now I know why Filipinos love Jollibee so much. It’s because Jolibee really knows what makes them happy. Kuhang-kuha ang kiliti ng mga Pinoy. You know how moms like me love surprises! Last Mother’s Day, Jollibee sent me a surprise present directly to The Linden Suites where my family and friends were checked in. It was a picnic basket with 2 buckets of our favorite Jollibee Chicken Joy, complete with the checkered table cloth, picnic talaga ang peg! The kids were jumping with joy because they love Jollibee Fried Chicken, plus...
Last night, May 6, 2015, was a magical night, indeed! My daughter couldn’t help telling me “Thanks, Mommy” several times for bringing her over to Globe Telecom’s “Share The Magic” Party. I had worked for Globe Telecom for over six years in the past and so I was actually expecting that this will be a wonderful night. Globe did not fail me. It was a night to remember as Globe Telecom announced its tie-up with Disney which I am sure Filipino families will all be excited about. We are Disney fans! View...

It was my first time to try going to Scholastic Warehouse Sale and I was astounded with how low-priced the books were. Imagine being able to buy my daughter’s favorite Geronimo Stilton books for only 20 pesos each? And there are so many more books to choose from with discounts up to 80% off. No wonder I saw some buyers who bought in boxes! I mean this is a dream come true for book lovers and readers like me. If you haven’t been to this sale, it’s still ongoing till May 23, so hurry! Scholastic Warehouse Sale has a wide...
Attending Brotzeit Kinder Koche kiddie baking class was definitely one of the highlights of our summer vacation. It was our first time to attend a workshop like this where me and my kids had a great time learning how to bake. I’m a frustrated baker myself and even if I had planned a thousand times on enrolling to a baking school just to learn basic baking skills, I still wasn’t able to do so. So this workshop is a win-win for the whole family. Kinder Koche (German for little chef) is brought by Brotzeit Philippines, a restaurant...
I’ve just read SmartParenting’s latest 100 Things To Do With Your Child This Summer and I was obliged to check what we have done so far. I mean, it’s not a necessity to do everything because it’s vacation but I felt, the kids deserve to have more time with us, their moms and dads at least this two months. When they go to school again this school year, we only have weekends to do things together. Next year will also be more hectic with my eldest graduating in elementary and taking entrance exams. Just so happy that...
My youngest Mariel turned 9 last April and I’d like to share how we managed to give her a day which she enjoyed truly. I know how tough it can be sometimes to think of where to get your party supplies, especially when you have that much time. My daughter’s party wasn’t a grand celebration but I’d like to think of it more as a play date for her where she chose to invite her friends over, dress up, and play some games which she chose with her Ate Maristel. The party wasn’t even a total DIY because all the food...
