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…

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. Bring out the artists in them by letting them paint or draw. Read books for them or with them. Teach them to play board…
My Baby Products
I love bath and dress up time with my daughter! ❤️ That’s why I also get excited when I learn about baby bath and hygiene products, especially when they contain natural ingredients and they smell good. One of the quality baby brands in the market today is My Baby. As a brand trusted by moms for…
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
Our 26-month-old daughter is now a certified little explorer. The so called “terrible two stage” isn’t too terrible after all when you witness your child achieve milestones one little block play at a time! 😊 Seeing her progress, I sometimes feel excited about sending her to school but I also know that she’s too young…
Happy Valentine’s Day!
There’s certainly more to LOVE than the fancy gifts and romantic dinners. Have a Happy Heart day everyday! #valentine2019 #happyheartsday
Best part of a working mom’s day
The best part of a #workingmom ‘s day is going back to a child so excited to spend whatever’s left of the day with her mom. And yes, I’m always willing to give up my exercise time in exchange for playtime with this little girl. 🥰
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…

Is your child getting enough nutrients from his milk?
Aside from a well-balanced, nutritious diet, giving your child a glass of milk has been shown to help support your child’s well-being. Aside from being a source of calcium, a glass of milk can also provide essential and important nutrients for growth and mental development. As parents, however, it is important to take a closer…

Welcome to terrible twos’ world! 😱 As first-time parents, we were so shocked, confused, annoyed, frustrated and worried. Why is she…
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. But if you’ll think about it, financial management is a personal skill that every person should possess. The time will come when…
8 things we love about REP’s Rapunzel! Rapunzel! A Very Hairy Fairy Tale

No need to filter motherhood: #NaturallyBeautifulMOMents by Johnson’s and Millennial Moms
I honestly feel bad about being in a generation that curates stunning Instagram feeds, edits photos with different filters and plans social media posts. Don’t get me wrong, I’m guilty of all of the above! Hello fellow millennials! 🙂 There’s nothing wrong with wanting to have awesome pictures with cool captions to share to the…
KinderCare Ultra-safe Baby Wipes: Wipes with Absolutely Zero Harmful Chemicals
Honestly, all baby wipes looked the same to me. Being a first-time mom, I must admit that I bought any baby wipes brand that was conveniently available in the nearby store, and I got whatever was the cheapest among the available baby wipes brands. Why would I care too much about baby wipes when I…
Learning about Dental Care for Kids at Tooth Princess Dental Clinic
My latest struggle with our one-year-old was toothbrush time. 😊 Yes, we always fought when I needed to brush her teeth. She cried, ran, and did everything to escape Mommy and the dreaded toothbrush! I tried different strategies — pretending the toothbrush was an airplane trying to get inside her mouth or saying that the…

Why Hotel Kimberly Tagaytay is perfect for families with little children
Many things change when you already have a child. That includes your choice of anniversary celebration! 😊 My husband and I celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary last September 5.
