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...
Many people has this wrong notion that mothers who stay at home has all the time they want in the world. That is so wrong. Being a work at home mom or a stay at home mom can be just as challenging as having a full time career outside the house. Actually, sometimes, I feel that 24 hours a day is too short to finish everything I have to do in a day. I admit that sometimes, being caught up with the house works, school works and online works, make me forget to brush my hair for the whole day. Imagine that. But fortunately that only happens...
Have you tried cooking pasta which came from abroad? The reason why I asked is because I have relatives abroad and most of them like to send us pasta they bought overseas. And most often, they come with tomato sauce! Of course, who wouldn’t love accepting their generosity, right? Recently, my aunt from Canada brought some organic pasta and organic tomato sauce for me. I immediately thought, will there be any difference? The quickest way to know that is to cook the spaghetti right away! And so here’s my recipe! [amd-zlrecipe-recipe:3] The...
<— More amazing photos from Art In Island We had so much fun in Art In Island and we are looking forward when we can return back and have more of the family members with us. Lunch at Burgoo Next in the itinerary for this #MomsAndKidsDayOut was a lunch treat at Burgoo in Gateway Mall. We enjoyed the afternoon with great food (chicken, pasta and some delicious ribs served by Burgoo) and a fun program prepared by Fly Ace. While we were eating, we were filled in with some good information about Jolly Cow Fresh Milk, how it is being...
We were planning to go to Art In Island for such a long time but budget and availability became an issue so we had to put it as one of our to-dos on the later part of the year. But God is always good and He blessed us with the opportunity to go to this exciting place in such a perfect time. Jolly Cow, one of the first brands developed by Fly Ace Corporation, had included us on its “Jolly Cow Mom and Kid’s Day Out” which was a whole day treat for selected moms and their kids. The program included a visit to Art In Island,...
What I found in the grocery this week just made my husband love me more. His favorite “pulutan” is tofu or tokwa (not necessarily actually that he drinks alcohol, he just likes something to munch as he work on his computer) and my latest find made it easier for me to prepare what he likes. Datu Puti ToyoMagic is your perfect companion for “tokwang baboy” and it costs only P25 per bottle as I bought one from Puregold this week. It’s soy sauce combined with vinegar and onion (without the bits and pieces) and...
I will never forget Vicks Vaporub because it had been part of my childhood. I remember how my lola used to put Vicks ointment over my chest and on my back when I couldn’t sleep due to colds. We always have a tiny bottle of Vicks available inside the cabinet so I can just put some on my nostrils whenever I couldn’t breathe. I also remember the Vicks candies, the small green triangular (if I am not mistaken) menthol candies that I used to buy in sari-sari stores when I was still a kid. Until these days, we have Vicks in our...
