Yesterday, I realized I was entering into a much harder phase of parenting, the part when I think I have to start talking to my girls about sex. Everyone was doing something yesterday then suddenly, my daughter blurted out, “Mommy, what is orgasm?” That was unexpected because I thought the sisters were doing their assignments and I found out that the two of them are reading something from the laptop. Maybe they searched for something for their assignment and they saw the word. That moment, I felt the need to explain but then...

It’s the beginning of December and everyone and everything seems to be in a hurry. Personally, I feel that time just slips away and I still have tons of things to do. But these stressed feelings can be contagious and our kids will most often pick them from us. So much so that I don’t want them to feel anxious like I do, they will also have so many things to do in school (quizzes, periodical exams, christmas programs and parties to attend). What Happens When The Kids Are Stressed Out So how do we know when the kids may be feeling...
Halloween is one of the most awaited days of our kids and to keep with the tradition and of course, to make our kids happy, we usually give them candies. Where do you think this tradition of giving candies came from? According to Wikipedia, “The custom of trick-or-treating at Halloween may come from the belief that supernatural beings, or the souls of the dead, roamed the earth at this time and needed to be appeased.” When the kids pose and wear something like these ghosts, they become protected from being harmed from these...
Have you ever visited a Baby Company store? My babies are now grown up but we still do visit the store nearest to us when we need to buy gifts for inaanak or for babies of our family friends. Baby Company had been my favorite store ever since for baby products and I remember my husband I bought our baby cribs and strollers here, not to mention the pillows, baby bottles, toys and so many onesies for our little girls way back then. Recently, we had been invited to witness the opening of Baby Company in Powerplant Mall, Rockwell Center. It...
If you have kids who are still studying in grade level, story telling contests may be part of your child’s annual calendar activities. This is an activity which we look forward, not so much because of the competitive aspect, but because we look forward on seeing the kids focus, learn a new piece and be able to practice being not afraid on stage. It’s a good time to build self confidence and speaking skills. I personally believe that people who have self-confidence and good abilities to speak have an edge when it comes to being...

Smelling good is one thing I always want my daughters to be conscious of themselves. When it comes to being ma-“kikay”, my daughters aren’t not that so much into that thing, but I told them that even if they are not that fashion savvy like most of their peers, they always need to at least smell good. Of course, that should follow naman because they have good personal hygiene habits but sometimes when they are at school, they do all these activities that they can’t avoid being “amoy-pawis”. That’s...
We were all brought up with cakes as one of the most special symbols of celebration, particularly birthdays. Filipinos love cakes and no matter how cake designs had evolved these days, the simplest cake will be enough to bring happiness to the celebrant. But Red Ribbon—one of the leading bakeshops in the country—wants to make Filipinos feel more special by offering a double treat to celebrants with their latest Double Deck Dedication Cake. Have you tasted a Red Ribbon cake before? I bet you will agree with me that their chocolate...
