Motherhood is one adventure after another. I live, I learn, I write.
This isn't a political post nor an endorsement of any candidate. I believe in free choice and I feel that now more than ever. Facebook and twitter are on fire with Pinoys actively advocating for their candidates. My feed is inundated with memes, links to blogs or websites (dubious and official) personal stories, selfies with twibbons etc. Social media has become THE most powerful medium of communication for all of us who want to have our say on who the next leader of the … [Continue reading]
Aminin, us moms treat our bathroom time as teeny tiny moments of escape. It's a few minutes where we can pamper ourselves so we can destress and relax!

It's moisturizing too so my skin doesn't feel … [Continue reading]

For these instances, I am … [Continue reading]
I recently attended the launch of Zippy, a Portuguese brand that sees itself as a "pure-play" children's specialist. They have made their way to the stores of Manila and it was in their Glorietta 3 branch that I was able to check out their cool and cute items for kids 0 to 14 years old. There were a lot of styles and choices at different price points which was good news for me. Basic shirts for boys start at Php179. Zippy also carries shoes, bags and accessories. I can shop for a whole … [Continue reading]
