Here’s her answer to the promo question “How do you make ordinary moments extra special?”
Rocel A. Villasis says:
Ordinary moments become special when you do them with all your heart. Whether it is preparing a birthday spread or an ordinary meal, when you do it with love, it becomes special not only to the doer but also the recipient.
We are not a family that plans trips,picnics or vacations. When weekend hits, our priority is Noah’s schedule – going to Alres, going to the doctors, doing his lab procedures. Then when the afternoon is free, we take Noah home to rest and we have an afternoon with David (although sometimes if it’s just therapy in the morning, we take Noah along too) Our little kuya tags along to all of Noah’s sessions. He gets bored sometimes so we make it a point to have something for him in the afternoon.
Sometimes though after a long and tiring morning, we prefer to just stay home and hang out. In those rare occasions I try my best to do something in the kitchen. Be it pancakes, grilled cheese sandwiches, cakes or cupcakes, I make sure that David is in for the experiment. He loves helping out in the kitchen . One Saturday I decided to bust out the Del Monte merienda pack and some ground beef.
Spaghetti Bolognese is such an easy foolproof dish! David and I had some fun with the prep work:
After the prep, I busted out my mini cookie cutters. Yes, cookie cutters!
Cookie Cutters + Cheese = Spaghetti Bolognese Surprise ala Manilamommy! Haha!!
Happy naman si bugoy 🙂 And he loved the chunky cheese!
So Mommies, if you made it to this end of the post, I have a question for you, how do you make ordinary moments special?
Enter using the rafflecopter widget and get to win an Activity Gift Pack from Del Monte!
Thanks for joining!! Good luck!!

September 12, 2013 at 8:58 pmI make ordinary moments special by cooking for my son even if I am not very good at cooking. Then I watch television with him and pay attention whenever he is talking to me. Of course, I always do everything with love to make it extra special

September 11, 2013 at 3:15 pmI make ordinary moments special by doing small thing with great love! I take each moment as an opportunity to make my love ones feel special and well-thought of. We may not have the capacity to splurge on luxury but this doesn’t deter me from making great things with what we currently have!

September 7, 2013 at 11:30 pmOrdinary moments become special just by spending time with my kids. I used to be a workaholic mom, but circumstance in life required me to be in bedrest. This gave me an opportunity to be at home at all times and be with my 2girls. I had a recent miscarriage and the more I value my bonding times with my girls. Even our small talks when I’m putting them to bed is special.

September 7, 2013 at 7:02 pmAlmost every moment with my kid is special because we always laugh. Almost every hour we laugh, maybe because I have my family to help me with things that I need to accomplish. NO stress because I have people to help me with. But to make a moment extra special I always introduce new food to them. My son loves food so much and i know that giving him something extra ordinary food will make the moment unforgettable.

September 6, 2013 at 6:40 pmAs a SAHM, it would be hard to make ordinary moments special cause you’re with your kid 24/7 but then again we can still make it memorable for them. me and my boy would always make time to play, read and pray together after ive done all the chores and before he takes a nap. and he woul always remember what we do each day. and that’s what make it special 🙂
