This week, I had the opportunity to go with a group of mommy bloggers in the opening of Dr. Jesus Delgado Memorial Hospital’s First Time Mom Unit to the public. The happiness in the hospital was very obvious, with pink and white balloons everywhere, historical photos of the hospital, and the laughter of some of the doctors filling the lobby. Everyone was excited with the First Time Mom Unit, a small but cute, enclosed area inside DJDMH specially designed to assist soon-to-be first time moms. It will be more than a decade (I hope)...

I must admit that our government agencies might still be turtle-like when it comes to digital progress, but at least now, I am really seeing progress. I’ve blogged about the efficient service of SSS recently, the SSS online system and the SSS Loan Restructuring Program, and I’m just happy to share that I found out that PhilHealth has a working website already. I’ve seen their website long before but it was not functional and they still don’t have an online member inquiry. I believe it’s very important that...
If there’s one thing my kids love to do after taking a bath, it’s baby powdering their face and whole body. They got this thing from us, including their dad who loves to put baby powder on his whole body after he takes a shower. That’s why I always keep a stock of bottles of baby powder in my cabinet because who wouldn’t love hugging babies and a daddy who smell so clean and fresh? Unfortunately, as much as I want to indulge my kids with baby powder, I also keep our baby powders in check because I’ve read before that talcum powder,...
If there is any stage in parenting where you can really use your planning skills, it’s in the planning stage of pregnancy. I can confidently say that because, in my 13 years of parenting, uncertainty starts the moment your child comes out from you in the delivery room. But while you are in the planning stage, from the time when you and your husband had just decided that you wanted that little bundle of joy to that day when you start to babyproof your home before the baby arrives, that you will be able to perfectly handle given that...

I’ve got the perfect idea! Greenwich, the Philippines’ favorite pizza and pasta chain, decided to put the the spotlight on their Hawaiian Overload Pizza in celebration of this year’s Pizza Party Day. And to help spread the news, a media launch was held this...
We only have several weeks more and the kids will be back to school. AND we will also be back to planning the daily baon and snacks. Despite all the choices we have, there are many times when we run out of ideas. Good thing, Mayora Philippines just launched CalCheese. It’s a new wafer snack, a little bit sweet and cheesy to taste, and available in sizes easy to pack in the kids’ lunch boxes. The wafers are very affordable too so I can just buy a couple of boxes and my girls can open some whenever they want to snack on them...

Can this heat ever be bearable? Even if we set our air-conditioners at home to full blast, there are days that these machines aren’t able to handle the heat. It’s so difficult to feel cool, isn’t it? With the daily grind at home and this feverish temperature, sometimes the only way to escape the burn is to go to the mall even for a few hours. But to make summer more interesting and a lot sweeter, our favorite dessert donut J.CO launched its new Affogato series. A traditional affogato is a scoop of ice cream drowned in...
