My daughter who just turned 12 had a simple, but happy and meaningful birthday celebration with the rest of the family this weekend. Thanks to Red Ribbon dedication cake, Maristel started our simple family dinner by blowing a single pink candle. I’m proud of her and proud of myself and my husband for having a beautiful and intelligent daughter. God was so good to us for giving her good health and an active mind. Currently, she dreams of becoming a pediatrician on which we told her that we will support her all the way. Thanks to...

I’ve already seen a lot of movies where daddies teach their daughters how to ride their bikes. It’s because learning how to bike is quite a milestone, and it becomes sweeter when you are able to remember your first ride with your father. This December, my daughter got her first 2-wheel bike from JSPGC and her dad, my husband, was just so eager to teach her how to balance and ride without support. They went out one early morning to the community park and after an hour and a half, I heard Mariel shouting outside the house telling...
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...
