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...

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...
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...
KidZania is a dreamland for kids, and the good thing is that when they dream, all these can come true because what they do and play actually exists in the real world. We have been to Kidzania for several times (first visit and second visit) but the kids still keep on asking when they are coming back and I really can’t blame them. The good thing is Kidzania is bringing the city to other places through pop-up events like the one happening in Alabang Town Center this May 7 and 8. The Alabang Town Center Activity Center will serve as...
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Yes, we’ve read it over and over again but still many of us fail to apply it. Maybe because we either wake up too early or we wake up too late in the day that we skip our breakfast and eat what we call “brunch”. It’s because of this attitude that most kids and even adults are either undernourished or overweight. According to the Department of Science and Technology – Food and Nutrition Research Institute ) DOST-FNRI), 6 out of 10 Filipino households suffer from...

As parents, my husband and I always feel that it’s our moral obligation to teach our kids to be caring to Mother Earth in our own little ways. We teach them to throw away their little paper thrashes and candy wrappers in the right places, by filtering the left over food from our plates and not let them go down the drain, and to recycle as much as they can. But there are still more ways to teach little kids of what they can do to be more caring to nature and fortunately, Kidzania Manila came up with a summer program to help parents...
