Cooking oil is a basic ingredient in the kitchen and because of that, most moms don’t give much thought when buying them in the grocery. In the past, I did the same. I just pick whatever I see first or most of the times, I just went for the cheapest. It’s because they all look the same. Di ba, magkakakulay lang naman sila? But now, as my family gets bigger (in age and size), there’s a need to do more cooking. And as I spend more from the ingredients I use, I started to become more meticulous. When I buy something,...
Any child will find it delightful to bring a snackbox in school, on playdates, on fieldtrips or wherever they need to go where they will spend several hours away from Mommy. Kids and even teens are always hungry and they don’t stop munching. There are many advantages in packing a snackbox for kids rather than having them buy outside. Even a simple snackbox that contains selections that kids will most likely eat will do. You can be meticulous in packing it or just a simple straight from the wrapper packing will do. The important...

Whenever we prepare our kids’ school baon, we want them to bring with them not only the food but also the love that comes with it. That’s why we put so much effort in it diba? It’s also the main reason why my kids, even though they are grown ups already and are already in high school, they still prefer to bring baon, and not buy from the school cafeteria. They must know that when I prepare them food, that I’ve thought of them when they leave the house, until they get home. I admit though that it’s already...
At any time of day, if someone will ask me what I want to drink, 99% I’d answer coffee. I’m not a coffee-addict though. I limit drinking to 2 cups a day so when I drink one, I always want my coffee to be perfect. I drink both black and coffee with cream. When I drink black, I want it as black as it can be, without sugar. But when I drink white coffee, I want it to be as creamy as it can be. Great Taste White offers me that luxury to enjoy a couple of minutes of break from my freelancing jobs. It’s creamy but...
It has always been a delight for us to visit Kidzania Manila even though it is miles away from our home. Why? Because in Kidzania, my kids get to know how it is to be an adult for a day, get to try different roles and jobs, choose who they want to be and the responsibilities that come with it, and being paid for what they do. They get to experience adulting and have fun with it.
