Jiggles Balloon

Hi folks! Do you remember Jiggles? Yep we got her for DW's 1st Birthday Party and ever since,  she's become a favorite host and artist for our friend's kiddie parties too. It's awesome how many balloon tricks she does. For each party we attended where she's the host, you'll be sure she's added new cartoon characters to her repertoire. But this one below is still my favorite: Well, Jing (Jiggle) messaged me in Facebook and told me that she's currently not accepting any hosting gigs for the … [Continue reading]

By 20 Comments

Serendipity is defined as the "faculty of making fortunate discoveries by accident" .This is exactly what happened with me and BDW when we went to a couturier to have DW's measurements taken as he'll be a ringbearer at my cousin's wedding. Right in front of Zandra Lim's shop was this store: I let out a little scream, tapped BDW's shoulder and asked him if we could go to the store right after DW's thing is finished. BDW made a quick U-turn and before we knew it we were inside Numa. All … [Continue reading]

Aprica is Now in Manila!

By 5 Comments

Two weeks ago, I attended the Aprica stroller launch at the Power Plant. BDW and I just bought a travel stroller for BDW (a Maclaren Volo) and were actually looking at other stroller brands, thinking about what to buy should baby #2 come. We've replaced our trustworthy Ashworthy because it just became so hard to bring and to maneuver. It didn't really "grow" with us as we intended it to be and the front right wheel of the stroller would just not cooperate --- like those wayward wheels in grocery … [Continue reading]

Under The Sea Cupcakes

By 1 Comment

Last week, I posted about an Ice Cream Party for 5-Year Old Kim! It's a perfect theme for a summer party (and we're all starting to feel the heat now right?!) A month ago, our barkada threw a sea-themed baby shower for one of our dear friends :D Maan (twitter name @madballs) is a home baker who specializes in yummy moist brownies and cookies. However, when she arrived with a big tray of cupcakes for the baby shower we were all blown away by her Moby Dick and Snorkeler cupcakes! I had to ask her … [Continue reading]
