This year’s school vacation was all about having fun in the kitchen. Since the kids started staying at home for their school breaks, they had been bugging me to find recipes online and recipe magazines which they can make at home. I’m glad that they were up to it because the oven had been sitting unused for a long time. Fortunately also, Mommy Bloggers Philippines had lots of baking workshops in line this year for the kids. Last May 4, Mariel and I had a great day learning how to bake pretzel when we attended MBP’s JuniorChef...

We always welcome summer, not only because of the sun, but because of the cool desserts which pop out from our favorite restaurants. This summer of 2016, Raintree had come up with not only one, but several lovable desserts we will love to order again and again. I was lucky to try the strawberry parfait with my friends and it was heavenly. The ice cream was so milky and there were soft nuts inside. It was a real treat because I loved strawberry so much. Same as the blueberry and the chocolate parfaits, you couldn’t just choose one...
Mariel has a small collection of Shopkins. I think she only has more than 20 by now. I can’t remember how she started collecting but what I know is that her collection is of great value to her because I usually buy one or two pieces for her as a reward when she did great in school (when she got perfect scores in a quiz or exams or when she got a place in quiz bees). I also advised her that just like her dad who is into toy collecting, it will be a good thing to take things slowly and enjoy each piece that she will get. Some of Mariel’s...
Having two girls is an equally challenging and fun experience for me as a mom. One of the most fun parts I’d talk about here is when it comes shopping for their dresses. My youngest, Mariel, loves to wear dresses. Unlike other girls who doesn’t like frilly clothes and laces and ribbons, my Mariel is all up for these. She is not the type who will point and get any dress she’ll like when we go to the malls but she lets me choose for her, try the clothes and let me decide when I’ll buy it for her. That’s what...
My husband and I love to drink Great Taste White Coffee so when I got an invitation to a Great Taste event, I immediately signed up. I was curious to meet the new celebrity endorser of this coffee brand, knowing that this personality should love the same coffee that we drink. The theme of the event was Choose To Be Great. It was held at the Crown Plaza in Ortigas, Pasig City and the highlight was the soon to be released video campaign featuring the matinee idol John Lloyd Cruz. The video shows how Great Taste and John Lloyd show respect...
If you are and your kids are Disney fans, this is a truly good news for you. The new Disney Mobile smartphones are now available in the Philippines. Made possible by CellPrime, the Disney Mobile devices will be available exclusively through Globe’s myStarter postpaid plans beginning at P750 per month. I’m proud to say that I’m a Disney mom and I won’t pass the chance of having this phone. Disney had always made my heart flutter and I guess I passed it to my girls. We’ve attended so many Disney events such as Disney...
Mega comes from the Greek μέγας megas, meaning “great” . But how can a mom really be a great Mom, a Mega Mom? For me, motherhood can actually be as complex as you want to think of it, but it can also be as simple as being a person in the family who will always think of her family first before herself. People are naturally born selfish, but when you become a mom and you really own it, you think of yourself less. I truly felt that the moment my husband and I knew that we were pregnant with my eldest daughter. In my elements...
