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.

4 things I learned from being a helper-less working mom
I’ll share with you my secret frustration these days. It’s my failure to get a household help, a nanny, a yaya. Finding a helper is a constant item in my weekly to-do list that I can never check.

My Mom Mentor
I love this throwback photo of me and my Mom. Back then, people couldn’t imagine me as a mother. 😂 I was quite the opposite of my mom. While she was athletic (yes, she can dive and is good at sports), brave, street smart and decisive, I was so frail and useless in the house…

Raising Children in a Digital World by Michelle Lichauco-Tambunting
Though my daughter is only 7 months old, I decided to attend the Pre-school Block talks at the Smart Parenting Convention 2017.
