Watching movies has been our family thing ever since. When there’s an upcoming movie we like, we look forward to the showing date and we talk about it a lot. My husband and I are happy that even though our kids are already growing up and are starting to find their own interests, “movies” is still our common ground. Our family loves to watch movie series most especially Star Wars! Can’t miss Star Wars in my post because as much as my husband is the original fan in the family, all of us were already hooked into it. It’s...

Last month, my father in law celebrated his birthday and usually, when we go to celebrations like these, we have potlucks. This time, I decided to make my own blueberry cheesecake because Daddy has a sweet tooth and I know a cheesecake will just be a hit in special occasions like these. Last time, I made a Dulce De Leche Cheesecake but this time, I wanted to make something classic and fruity. So here’s a very easy recipe you can use if you want to make one at home. I used very basic ingredients which can be bought from any grocery...
Have you tried joining a fitness run? It’s fun and it’s always much better when you have a buddy or someone to run with. This year, the four of us were fortunate to be able to run altogether in Robinson Supermarket’s 10th Fit & Fun Wellness Buddy Run. It’s a much anticipated event annually because there are so many participating brands which sponsor it and everyone in the family can join. We’ve seen huge families who joined, couples only, small children (even infants), and even people in wheelchair. This...
Most of us love to eat US potatoes, more than we know it. We Filipino moms won’t find our “afritada” and “menudo” complete without potatoes. And there are a hundred more dishes where we include potatoes in them. Of course, most kids we know crave for French fries! Luckily for us, these humble potatoes are considered “wonder foods”. Let me tell you some of the most important reasons why. Packed with Vitamin C, Vitamin B6, Iron, and Potassium US potatoes contain more vitamin C than tomatoes or sweet potatoes. Vitamin C helps...
Robinsons Supermarket continues in its aim to make all Filipinos fit and healthy as it launched its promos a week in advance in time for the National Wellness Month which is the month of July. My daughter and I were so delighted to participate in their kick-off event, the Wellness Festival, which was held at Eastwood Central Plaza – Citywalk last June 23. It was a free event open to the public and there were several stations where visitors were encouraged to see and try the different products by Robinsons Supermarket’s wellness...
Cleaning the refrigerator is as important as cleaning the rest of the appliances at home. Actually, it should be more often be cleaned than any other appliance. Why? Because it’s the most used appliance at home, it runs 24 hours a day, and most of us can’t live without it. It’s too important for us that it’s worth the attention. How often should refrigerators be cleaned? At least once every 3 months (the laziest you can do), refrigerators should be completely cleaned and organized. But the handle should always be...
The first nighttime toothpaste brand Dentiste has opened its online store http://dentistetoothpaste.com/ and it’s wonderful that we can now easily purchase our Dentiste toothpastes and travel kits. I’ve once blogged about how amazing Dentiste is in making couples much closer together as they wake up together with fresh morning breath. I like Dentiste toothpaste and other dental products such as gargle and breath spray because they don’t sting that much and their products do work. Even my tweens use Dentiste and carry...
This dessert has been a long-time family favorite (at least for me and my youngest daughter). I remember when I was just discovering internet and I needed work ( I just resigned from my office work then to take care of my kids), I actually made leche flan in different flavors and sold them in ebay. Facebook is not that popular then. I made the classic vanilla, chocolate and strawberry flavored leche flan. I stopped because the commute to deliver was tiresome although I earned at least a bit. So I tried making leche flan again and I thought...
