In just a few days, we will officially say hello to Summer 2019! Aside from it being a great time to rest, summer can be children’s opportunity to develop new skills or hone their talents.

Family Pictorial by Andrea Zubiri Photography
Most of our little family’s photos are not “Instragram-ready”. That’s because my husband just usually takes a quick groupie shot of us while his other hand is carrying our 15kg toddler. 😂 Well, because we don’t have a helper, it’s either we settle with the blurry selfie 🤳 or we beg a random stranger to…

Blissful Blooming is one of the Top 20 Philippines Parenting Blogs
Writing has been my passion. As a child, I wrote on my scented diary about my daily victories and frustrations, no matter how small. Writing to me was a very personal and intimate experience. Being able to play with words to express my thoughts gave me a sense of fulfillment. Even until today, I find contentment…
Don’t miss PETA’s Charot play
Being a big fan of Philippine Educational Theater Association (PETA) after watching the popular Rak of Aegis play three years ago, I didn’t think twice when my sis in law invited us to watch Charot.

The Venice Grand Canal of Metro Manila ❤️
Weekends are worth waiting for! ❤️ Whether in our bedroom or somewhere outside our comfort zone Quezon City, quality time with these two is a perfect breather. Out of my 32 years as a QC girl (exagg, I’m definitely older than this mall), it’s my 1st time to visit Venice Grand Canal or Venice Piazza….
Scared of Momo? Go for old school activities for kids
Since we’re all scared that our little ones will be victimized by Momo and other scary stuff online, it’s time to think 🤔 of more worthwhile activities than watching videos online.

Fisher Price Shoes for Children
My daughter Tash has only 2 pairs of shoes. Being a practical (ok, and kuripot) mom, I believe that a toddler like her who spends 5 days in a week inside our home sweet home does not need too many shoes. I told my husband that a few pairs of shoes are enough at least…
TOY RECO: Fisher Price Block Picking Wagon

Traveling then and now
When I was single, I used to travel a lot with friends. I used to be a fan of seat sales and office group travels. That season of my life is over. 😅 Nowadays, the exciting thought of travel comes with a bunch of other considerations: what’s the budget, can I bring the husband and…

Services moms need to get by without a helper
No yaya? No problem! 😄 Many of us moms don’t have a helper, not by choice but by circumstance. Who wouldn’t want a helper when that means extra hands to get things done, right? The problem is there’s a scarcity of willing and competent full-time helpers nowadays. For New Year’s sake, let’s not dwell on…

Fun Ways to Teach Money Management to Kids
Teaching money matters to children is not a common practice for parents in the Philippines. Many of us grew up thinking that money matters are something that only Daddy and Mommy should mind.
