Tea parties at home have recently put on a new meaning. More than the typical cookies and milk (as substitute for the girls’ tea), they have been asking for real cupcakes that they can decorate….with real frosting. It all started when Alyanna and I had our date last week at Cupcakes by Sonja. We were treated to hours of fun bonding time decorating our delicious cupcakes with lots of colorful frosting and whatchamacallits (you know, those tiny decorations the equivalent of sequins if we were doing a paper-related project? Help! Baker-friends!??).
Cute noh?? 
Uy. Serious siya.
I was so tempted to grab this cupcake from Alyanna and do the frosting/decorating for her! Sooo tempted!
One spontaneous shot….
…And a more “serious” one.
I really cannot blame the girls for having their tastes upgraded by Sonja’s cupcakes. Years ago, none of us would even think of craving for cupcakes. Cakes, yes. Ice cream, yes. Chocolates, yes. But cupcakes??? ….Not until Sonja came up with her version of these little, now-irresistable things!
The good news for all you lovers of the delightful, Sonja’s Cupcakes is set to open more branches around the Metro. Within the year, expect to see and taste more of Sonja’s delicious creations at Shangri-La Plaza Mall, Eastwood City, Greenhills, and TriNoma. Most recently, Sonja’s Cupcakes opened its newest store at the second floor Bridgeway of Glorietta 2. Do visit them there, yes?

Mother’s Day is just around the corner and there’s no better time than this for our well-loved Good Housekeeping magazine to celebrate its 15th anniversary. This month’s Mother’s Day issue comes with a special supplement—the Nido Supermom magazine, that is packed with topics that interest us moms!
When I bought my copy the other day, I was pleasantly surprised that not only did I get Good Housekeeping’s thickest issue yet, and a Nido Supermom magazine….but I also got a free Yummy magazine! That’s all three for the price of one!
The new Nido Supermom magazine gives us a peek into the hearts and minds of some of the moms we look up to– both for their excellence AND passion in their own fields of interest, as well as in the homefront.
“Know when to be strict and when to let go.”
“Plan your life around your priorities.”
“Appreciate the uniqueness of each child.”
…These are some of the wisdom shared by the featured supermoms in this magazine, in addition to meaty topics concerning spending time with children, parenting and learning styles, budget management, and more.
Now, here’s another reason why you should get this magazine: We (I mean, thammiesy.com) is a part of it! Yes, we contributed some awesome contents (according to my husband and kids!) to the magazine, so it would be great if you could support the effort by checking it out, too!
AAANND….here’s a GREATER reason why you should get the magazine NOW: You could get a chance to win an I-Pad Mini 16GB as you answer a quick survey on http://www.smartparenting.
Did you get that?? An I-Pad Mini!
But wait, there’s more!
Because I want to celebrate Mother’s Day with you, too, I am giving away a gift certificate worth P3,000 from Goldilocks! Perfect for a celebration, don’t you think?
To join, simply follow the steps below:
Have a happy, happy Mother’s Month!
Sometimes I am double-minded.
I tell my kids that they are my treasures, yet I sometimes get irritated if they break some of my “valuables”.
Sometimes I am double-minded.
I tell my kids to call me anytime they need help, yet sometimes they get put on hold whenever there are “more pressing matters”.
Sometimes I am double-minded.
I tell my kids that I love hearing their thoughts, yet sometimes I tell them to keep quiet when they start having too many ideas.
Sometimes I am double-minded.
I tell my kids that they can tell me anything, yet sometimes I do not respond well when they start telling me something I do not like to hear.
Sometimes I am double-minded.
It’s a good thing that my kids are double-minded, too.
They tell me they love me over and over again.
They tell me they think I’m still their best mom– not once, but twice….or even more within the day.
They forgive me each time I mess up. Then they forgive me… again.
They understand that I am only human. Yet they appreciate me like I also have superpowers.
It’s a good thing my children are double-minded, too.
