When I was younger, I’ve always thought that fruit salad is the only kind of salad in the world. I always look forward to Christmas because of fruit salads. When I became a mom and you are given the task of preparing something different for your family at least monthly, I think I’ve seen a hundred different kinds of salad already. But of course, being a work at home mom, I often look for 5-ingredient max recipes or else, I’ll take the recipe as complicated and discard it right away. To cut it short, I’m sharing...
I love eating caimitos. Aside from they are delicious, they bring back memories of childhood to me. The times when me and my cousins were free to roam around the alleys of our compound in Balintawak. I remember we used to throw stones to a caimito tree full of ripe caimitos. The fruits easily fell down to our waiting hands and we just open them and eat them using our bare hands. Now, I am passing the love for this fruit to my kids. Caimitos are abundant during summer and last time I bought 5 pieces in the market, I paid only P20.00. Dessert...
This week, I was very happy that I got to go to Nurture Spa Village with Mommy Bloggers Philippines to celebrate Celebrity Mom Maricel Laxa-Pangilinan’s 45th birthday. As most of the events I attend with the blogger moms, I usually go home with lots of goodies from sponsors. This time, I was most happy because I got to try a pack of mixed protein drink powder from USANA. I heard lot of good things about this brand when it comes to losing weight. I was also trying to contact some of my blogger friends in the past of how I can get...
I was looking at our photos this morning and I saw our photos on our last trip to Baguio and since it’s summer and vacation months again, I am happy to share my memories with this humble and yet cozy and affordable Holiday Park Hotel. We’ve been here twice already and with the nice treatment we got when we checked in there, I think it’s just right to give them some space in my blog. Holiday Park Hotel is just the perfect hotel for a small family like us. It’s a minute away from Victory Liner bus station (if you...
Summer break of the kids won’t mean that work at home moms like me will also be taking vacation. We still have to work for a living like everybody else working in offices. Summer vacations can be less stressful because there will be less task in preparing the kids for school, hubby doesn’t have to wake up early to prep the car and bring the kids to school, plus we have a break in reviewing lessons. The dilemma comes over the days when we have to work and my grown up kids are all free and they have to stay at home. So I’ve...
A few weeks from now and summer’s officially here! Yey! Have you made plans yet on where you are taking your family for a break? If you want your summer trips to be perfect and not that expensive, you have to plan it already. As they say, failing to plan is planning to fail. That includes our bags. Women, especially moms, can’t leave without their bags. I suggest that as early as now, you should know which of your bags are coming with you. Different Kinds of Summer Bags If you haven’t had the time to check the malls,...
My youngest Mariel likes dainty dresses and so, when I saw Lemon Kiss’ designs from their Facebook Page, I instantly liked what I saw. I am certain my daughter will love to wear their colorful and pretty apparels. From the photos in Lemon Kiss’ Facebook page, one stood out for me. I love aquamarine! This will be perfect for Mariel when she goes on stage to receive her medals (yabang lang :-)) Mariel Loves Dresses It’s a good thing that my daughter likes to wear dresses because I think not all little girls like to wear...
A “foodie” is a person who loves food and craves on trying out new flavors and new places to eat. It’s not gluttony or obsession for food but it’s enjoying the blessing of taste. Not everybody is blessed with good health to be able to enjoy even the simplest dishes. And you don’t even have to have all that money to be one adventurous foodie. Here are some of my tips how: 1. Register in Zomato. Zomato is the best place online to discover places to eat around Manila. From the most extravagant to the cheapest...
