Mommy Adventures + Wanderlust: Sony Wonder Technology Lab [Part 1]

We’ve been MIA I can’t believe we’ve been on this side of the world for almost a year now. Boy, time is moving awfully fast, eh? I know, I know! I should have been blogging about our new life, but priorities always get in the way. I’m happy to share that we’ve been blessed to [...]

Wanderlust: Bainbridge House

This post is long overdue. When traveling with Captain Awesome and Little HRH, I make sure that we always get to experience something new and unique. Thankfully, we are the kind of family that have very diverse interests. The trip-planning challenge does not lie much in coming up with fresh travel ideas, but in choosing [...]

Taste Buds: Pizza Bagels

I am constantly on the lookout for easy recipes that I can prepare for my family. Since moving to the east coast, I have been cooking and baking more than I have ever had in my entire life. I have said so many times that I am not so good in the kitchen. But I [...]

Mommy Adventures + IMHO: Rewards

I do not remember when fast food really started to disgust me. Captain Awesome and Little HRH are probably two of the very few kids who do not have a collection of Happy Meal or other kiddie meal toys. When we take them out, we eat at real restaurants. But there is no need to play [...]

Mommy Adventures: Health Care Providers

We are settling in pretty well in our new environment. School has started after the holiday weekend, and we have met some new people that we could potentially build relationships with. Aside from the unpacking, there are still so many things that Um and I have to take care of. We humbly thank God everyday for giving [...]

Mommy Adventures: Packing for Four

There was a time when, believe it or not, I actually loved packing. Perhaps, it was the promise of adventure that came with it that got me into the activity. The fact that we had our ever reliable Manang Virgie to take care of the unpacking after the trip was always a pleasure. In fact, I [...]

Mommy Adventures: Staycation

So, we have survived another school year. It is summer, alright, but I will have to keep daydreaming about those cheap ayia napa holidays for now. Um and I have a full plate of [migraine-inducing] things to do for the next couple of weeks that we need all the resources – time, money and energy – [...]

Mommy Adventures: Baby Essentials

Two words: Baby blanket. Make that blankets. Yep, my kids are waaaay too big to be called babies, but if there are baby essentials I still have (and make them use) they’re their old baby blankets! Um, the kids and I have moved so many times back in the Philippines before finally going through the [...]

Guilty Pleasure: Hey, Jealousy!

Not that irrational, high-school-ish kind of thing from a partner, OK?. That’s just plain annoying. I gotta say, lucked out for marrying a man that is nothing like the jealous type. What I’m talking about here is the one that my darling, Little HRH, shows whenever another child gets drawn to me — and, boy, [...]

Celebrations: Curtsies to a Little Princess

A son is a son until he comes of age. A daughter is a daughter all her life. – Gaelic Proverb Yes, yes. I am weeks late for my Little HRH’s birthday post. I have started several drafts, but none seem good enough for progression. The thing is, I am finding it rather hard to [...]

On the Loose: Christmas Shopping

Christmas shopping was a lot easier and faster this year. I do not know if it was because most of our family, friends and godchildren are overseas or because I did this year’s shopping with my husband. I am more inclined to believe that it is the latter. LOL. But, we did only have very [...]
