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...

Tween age is quite a difficult age when it comes to choosing fashion styles and brands. I know this because currently, my daughter and I can only count the brands which cater to my daughter’s young age (11 turning 12). It’s either the clothes are still baby looking or they are too matured for my daughter’s age. It’s a good thing though that my daughter Maristel still listens to me when choosing her clothes. From time to time, we buy branded clothes because I know myself that these brands have durable quality, and...
I’ve just read from somewhere that someone is asking a group of people of who they think are the inspiring blogger moms. Of course, nobody nominated me maybe because either they don’t know me or they just don’t have me on their minds as an inspiring one. Then I’ve thought about it and asked myself, how can someone really be considered an inspiring mommy blogger? What “Inspiring” Means From Merriam-Webster, the word inspiring means : causing people to want to do or create something or to lead better lives. Take...
Have you paid your SSS yet? We have just paid ours for the first quarter of 2015. Last year, we skipped several months due to financial constraints but this year, we want to start with a better year in paying our dues. As a work at home mom, it definitely pays to pay SSS because it’s like a barnyard of benefits when time comes. If you think you are already late for this quarter, there’s still a few days left. Check your SSS number and see this SSS 2015 schedule of payment and contribution. schedule of payment as extracted from...
It was our first time to dine in at Dekada and we are glad we enjoyed our time. After all, it was a special day for us because it was our two daughters’ recognition day. After a year of hardwork in school, doing projects, assignments, attending meetings, studying for quiz bees and contests, the school year is over and our girls ended it with flying colors, as they say. Dekada in FT is located inconspicuously. It’s within Wellworth Department store and you will hardly notice it unless you decide to go to the most inner portions...
When I was younger, I’ve always thought that fruit salad is the only kind of salad in the world. I always look forward to Christmas because of fruit salads. When I became a mom and you are given the task of preparing something different for your family at least monthly, I think I’ve seen a hundred different kinds of salad already. But of course, being a work at home mom, I often look for 5-ingredient max recipes or else, I’ll take the recipe as complicated and discard it right away. To cut it short, I’m sharing...
I love eating caimitos. Aside from they are delicious, they bring back memories of childhood to me. The times when me and my cousins were free to roam around the alleys of our compound in Balintawak. I remember we used to throw stones to a caimito tree full of ripe caimitos. The fruits easily fell down to our waiting hands and we just open them and eat them using our bare hands. Now, I am passing the love for this fruit to my kids. Caimitos are abundant during summer and last time I bought 5 pieces in the market, I paid only P20.00. Dessert...
This week, I was very happy that I got to go to Nurture Spa Village with Mommy Bloggers Philippines to celebrate Celebrity Mom Maricel Laxa-Pangilinan’s 45th birthday. As most of the events I attend with the blogger moms, I usually go home with lots of goodies from sponsors. This time, I was most happy because I got to try a pack of mixed protein drink powder from USANA. I heard lot of good things about this brand when it comes to losing weight. I was also trying to contact some of my blogger friends in the past of how I can get...
