There’s good news if you want to help protect the environment and save money at the same time. Many home energy conservation ideas can trim your utility and shopping bills. Replace incandescent lighting with energy-efficient LED light bulbs. Incandescent bulbs release 90 percent of their energy as heat, which makes them burn out and waste energy.

Moms like me are well aware how much better in terms of everything (price, quality, quantity and nutrition) freshly home cooked food are than processed food. But we are also aware that most ingredients for our “lutong-bahay” can be best bought in fresh/wet markets. This is a great problem for most of us who, for lack of the terms to use, “doesn’t have too much time” to actually go to a wet market to buy ingredients.

I admit peeling potatoes is not one of my favorite things to do in the kitchen but I have to do it a lot. My kids love mashed potatoes and who am I to blame them or even stop them? They want mashed potatoes with their fried chicken and roast beef. They want it for snacks and sometimes my kids request for me to make a huge bowl for school pot lucks. This is a very...
Planning a child’s birthday party is usually a lot of work. Sometimes parents never know how many guests are coming or whether or not the weather is going to cooperate. Children may change their minds about presents or themes many times in the months leading up to the party, which only further confuses parents as the party draws near. Instead, parents can make the party easier to manage and execute with these simple ideas. You may either hold a party out of your home or if you have time to do some party planning, a party at home...
A mother’s strength is in her heart. You can’t judge how strong a mother can be just by looking at her. In all these years I’ve become a mom and in all the stories that I’ve read and heard, each of us have this secret power hidden in our hearts, where we get this unusual strength to tackle all the challenges that life give us.
