Not feeling fine today? Here’s why you shouldn’t feel bad about your negative emotions
How are you today? “I’m not OK. I feel sad,” said our 3-year-old. How I wish I can be like my daughter when it comes to acknowledging emotions. 😄 As adults, we seem to have a positive auto response to people checking on us. Saying “I’m fine” has become so mechanical that we do it…
Yoga for Kids at Kids Yoga Corner
I tried Yoga for the first time when I was pregnant with our daughter Tash. My prenatal Yoga sessions really helped me relax and feel healthy throughout my pregnancy. I can say that it also helped strengthen my preggo body. Back then, I told myself that when my child is already a grownup, I’ll encourage…
Chuckie Icecream Recipe from Nestle Cream
I’m no pro in the kitchen, but I surely enjoy creating easy-peasy culinary creations for the family, especially when I do it as a fun activity that enriches my bond with my daughter. Nowadays, this 3-year-old loves mixing things together and creating something from scratch. So I thought that this is a good opportunity to…
The Library Heiress
More than two decades ago, I was a child growing up in a world with no internet, no fun mobile games, and no video calls. Other than television (Hello Batibot!) and my plastic kitchen toy set, my favorite form of entertainment was my humble collection of storybooks. 📚 Best childhood ever! For decades, my little…

Let your heart design
“Mom, let your heart design,” Tash said to me yesterday while I was busy working. ❤️🖍🎨 I’m not sure if she heard it from one of the children shows she’s been watching, but I really think it’s a catchy tagline or an empowering mantra for the second half of our memorable 2020. 🤓 Surely, the…
DIY Hair Removal and Pampering Products from Strip It
Three months in quarantine, how are your underarms, mommies? 😆 I know it’s not a great topic to talk about, but underarm hygiene is one of our womanly concerns (well, at least in my country). For a woman living in a tropical country, I just feel that hairless underarms are better for personal hygiene. Especially…
Bringing the Sand Inside Our Home: The Benefits of Kinetic Sand Sensory Play
Our toddler misses the beach. She’s been asking us when the Covid-19 virus will be gone so she can finally swim and play in Boracay (the last beach she went to). 😂🏖 Though I patiently explain to her why we can’t go to the beach or any other public place yet, I know in my…
Toilet Training using the Potette Plus — Trainer Seat and Potty Chair in One
I’ve been wanting to get rid of diapers in our life (to save Mother Earth and money), but then our little girl is slowly and sweetly taking her time in toilet training. She’s 3, and she’s not ashamed to admit that she’s still comfy in wearing a diaper. After I’ve tried all the tips I…

BE IN THE MOMENT: Life lesson from children
In a generation where multitasking has become a way of life, practicing mindfulness is something easier said than done. Though I have read a lot of articles about it and attended quite a few events that promote it, being mindful is still something I find hard to consistently do. As a work-at-home mom, I try…

Fight Maternal Nutrient Deficiency
This photo was taken 3 years ago, a few weeks before I gave birth to our daughter Natacia. 🤰🏻 Pregnancy taught me to embrace a healthy diet (or at least try). Nutrition is very important for a soon to be mom. Whatever I ate affected not only my health but also my baby’s development. Every time…
I am the Best Children’s Story Book
While we want to encourage our children to do their best in everything they do, we also need to make them understand that, in reality, there will be times that they’re not the superstar…and that’s totally fine. 🤩 How do we make little children learn that it’s good to do their best but it’s OK…

Tips on drying clothes during rainy days
In my grandmother’s days, I bet doing the laundry didn’t give moms a problem. First, drying was easy peasy for they had a backyard to turn into a “sampayan”. Second, they had a slow-paced life that can patiently wait for the rain to end and the clothes to dry. Today, moms like me have a…
