I have to be honest. I’m no pro when it comes to doing the laundry. When I was single, I honestly had somebody-else do the laundry for me. While I willingly did other chores like home cleaning and dishwashing, I never attempted to do the laundry as I felt that it would consume too much…

Throwback: Prenup Pictorial
This is my favorite among our pre-nup photos. Mukha kasing under si Novo dyan! Haha! 🤪 Kidding aside, I just love looking at our prenup photos. Aside from the fact that I miss my body that’s 10lbs lighter, it makes me go back to when my hubby (then boyfriend) and I were still clueless on…
Problems between husband and wife should not result to a child’s traumatic experience
Being a work at home mom now, I rarely have the chance to be in public places, but I had to process some documents recently, which led me standing in a busy street in Binondo on a Monday morning. While waiting for my ride home, my carefree searching through my phone’s playlist was disturbed by…
Ways to Increase Your Family’s Income
Like other young couples, my husband and I have many dreams for our little family. We dream of buying that dream house and saving for our daughter’s education. We hope to set up a business of our own, travel more often, build a stable reserve fund, and eventually save for retirement. While dreaming of these…
Snail Mucus Mask from Korean Brand ‘Cool Collection’ + Giveaway
Believe it or not, my husband and I used to have regular “facial treatment” sessions when we were still dating. Of course, we had the luxury to do that when we weren’t thinking about buying diapers or saving for tuition fees yet. 🙂 Three years into marriage, my husband and I can no longer afford…
Focus on TODAY – Blocks of Wisdom for Marriage
Hello August! 😊 This month reminds me of the very wholesome bridal shower my beautiful sisters-in-law organized for me three years ago. The guests wrote on a block a word of wisdom they wanted me to bring in the new chapter of my life — married life. Back then, I didn’t really take these colorful…
Marriage and family life aren’t always Instagram-worthy
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Phil 4:6-7. This was one of the readings I personally chose for our wedding mass…

Hubby and I have a new favorite movie place, the Ayala Vertis North Cinema! 🍿 As a young married couple, we know we have to look for ways to insert a few hours of couple time in a week. Thanks to Ampa and Amma for watching over our little one while we’re away! 👴🏻👵🏻 Today,…
Culinary 101: Baked Pork Chops with Potatoes and Baked Garlic Butter Shrimps
Growing up, I failed to find a reason to be in charge in the kitchen. Aside from the fact that we had a household helper who cooked for us, no one in the family was into cooking or baking or anything kitchen-related. When we’re hungry, we’d rather go out for a meal or order food…
For Lovers and Ramen lovers: Butamaru opens in Ortigas
My wifey duty “date destination search” led me to a ramen place in the heart of bustling Ortigas. Alabang’s cult-favorite ramen joint Butamaru has opened a branch at Technopoint One, Ortigas Home Depot, which is more accessible for us foodies in the North. The ramen craze has been all over my social media feeds since…
I miss the Saturday visits and coffee dates
I miss the Saturday visits and coffee dates, but I am grateful for the new memories we’re creating together as husband and wife, as parents, as teammates.
