I miss being pregnant so much, yes! Though we all know how some moms find pregnancy as a difficult period because of the vomiting, the heavy belly and the struggle in moving, I still think that those months when I was pregnant were the best. Why? I can say more than a dozen things why being pregnant is such a beautiful thing. First, of course, is you know that you have a beautiful baby inside you. Second, you bond a lot with your husband. My husband treated me like a princess when I was pregnant with my two kids. I have all the excuse...
I’ve started preparing for Christmas three months ago, yes, as early as September I have already made my gift shopping list because I know how tight schedules will be come December. It’s not only me. As a mom, I have to consider everybody’s schedule, the kids, the husband, and some events for my blogging stints. Despite my efforts to scratch off everything in my shopping list, I still needed to do some last-minute Christmas gift shopping. Fortunately, I know the perfect place to do it. We went shopping in National Book...
Who doesn’t find adobo as their favorite dish at home? All of us, even non-Pinoys love our adobo dish. It’s salty, sour, savory dish in one and the dripping sauce is enough to be ulam in itself. But still, cooking up a hearty dish on a daily basis is also challenging, as you need to achieve the perfect balance of flavors and the right complementing staple ingredients (be it pork, chicken, fish or vegetables) to make each family meal time a happy, satisfying experience. But you know what, why not try adding mushrooms in your...
How are you with your Christmas preparations? I bet that you are already looking at your long list of to-dos as we all count down to the last days before December 25. If you will ask me, I will probably answer the same, that I’m super busy. But you know what, it made me think thoroughly how Grinch these daily tasks can be, stealing us the opportunity of Christmas to get in touch with people, our friends who we haven’t found time to visit or meet this whole year, or the relatives abroad who we didn’t even had the time...
We often hear the saying that “happiness is a choice” and as parents, my husband and I always tell our daughters that we don’t have to wait to have a perfect life in order to be happy. The important thing always is to focus on what we are grateful for and make the best of it. One of our happiness as a family is to travel together. When my husband and I met each other back on our college days, we didn’t have money to travel but still, we found opportunities to explore places. When we had our two daughters, our family...
It was an afternoon to remember when I’ve seen how my co-moms were able to enjoy and lose themselves quite a bit in the 5th Annual Christmas Party of Mommy Bloggers Philippines. What was different this year was that we were able to celebrate in a much bigger venue, thanks to Icon Hotel Timog, with an exciting theme : MBP At The Movies. Moms love movies and we all have our own movie icons that we follow and adore. In this Christmas party, we were able to dress up like movie stars and from the outcome of the party, we all had a great...
For individuals prone to indoor allergies, winter can be a difficult season. Less time outside means more exposure to air that’s not as well circulated as what we breathe in nature. So, if you’re aggravated by things such as pet dander and dry air, you know that you need to prepare for the colder time of year that means more time indoors. Try these three...
Have you wrapped your Christmas gifts yet? I haven’t yet. In fact, I have just put up our Christmas tree! I didn’t realize that the first week of December is almost over and there are still so many things to do. That includes wrapping our Christmas gifts. I always make an effort to wrap our gifts with love because, I myself, love to receive gifts that were thought of. Minsan nga, I delay opening gifts that are specially wrapped until the end of the year. It’s always such a good thing that Hallmark has all these beautiful...
