  • Life Science Center Philippines

    Mika and I decided to do something about our health as she constantly battles with allergies. Through Life Science, we were able to take some test to determine what we are allergic to. Here is the video of our visit to Life Science Center  

  • Breaking Christmas Tradition

    Breaking Christmas Tradition

    Ever since we had kids, we more or less have been doing the same Christmas traditions for the past 10 or so years. Even when my kids didn’t quite understand what we were doing, I still tried to let them experience the Christmas season as distinct from all other holidays by creating traditions and giving […]

  • Start the Week Right

    Start the Week Right

    It’s been quite  a while since I last shared my thoughts here, hasn’t it? That was on purpose. I wanted to be more focused on being with the kids, with as little distraction (as if that could really happen) as possible. So since last year, the only social media app I retained on my phone was Instagram, and […]

  • A Christmas Countdown Activity: Counting Your Blessings

    A Christmas Countdown Activity: Counting Your Blessings

    Because of our season of having a new baby, we tried to minimize our activities this usually-busy month of December. I have had to choose which activities and parties to say yes to, and for the first time since we got married, so far I have scheduled only two parties that I have to host […]

  • Supporting Your Child’s Sporty Lifestyle

    In between taking care of our newborn, our toddler, and homeschooling our girls, I’ve been attempting to “feed” myself with our pastor Steve Murrell’s latest book entitled MY FIRST, SECOND, AND THIRD ATTEMPT AT PARENTING (after more important modes of feeding, of course….like reading my Bible and….uhm…having cake *cue a guilty grin here*). I have […]

  • 10 Years of No Compromise with Cycles and Cradle

    When I was asked to be a part of Cycles’ 10th year anniversary campaign, I did not hesitate to say yes because since Alyanna was born, Cycles has been a part of our household. Through the years, I have gone from just trying their mild laundry detergent, to using their bottle cleaners, toy and surface […]

  • An Important Reminder for Moms on a Mission

    This morning is one of those mornings when I can close the door, lock it, turn on my worship playlist, sing, read my Bible, hear from my Father, get recharged— without rushing. It’s the weekend. No lesson plans to carry out, no papers to check, no calling the kids to get ready and start moving. […]

  • The ABC’s and DEF’s of Money Management

    I am not the type who can easily absorb facts and technical know-how when it comes to finances. I love math, but for some reason, my brain chooses to go somewhere else each time I have to sit and listen or analyze financial data and information. When it comes to money management, I like to […]

  • Boost Your Family’s Immune System

    Since a lot of my friends’ kids have been getting sick, I decided to write a short post on what supplements we take to try to boost up our immune system. For the grown-ups: Malunggay capsules I think all of us know by now that our very own Malunggay is known all over the world […]

  • How to Make an Oreo Bento Meal

    Since we had our #betterme session on “How to Make Your Own Oreo Bento” last week, the kids couldn’t stop talking about their “great ideas” on the next bento they intend to make. If the kids started to talk to me about making bentos prior to the session we had with the very creative and […]
