EveryDay Nom: Share the Delight with Chips Delight!!

By Leave a Comment

When it comes to treats, David loves cookies. Chips Delight is one brand that we’ve always bought as part of his baon. Chips Delight is also our family merienda staple.

Hey guys! As you know, I am a big fan of Coach Pia and her Discover Your Core programs. One of the great things that happened to me last year was the DYC weekend that I spent with good friends. We all bonded over that weekend and our ties have gotten stronger.  Us 9 moms decided that although we have our own separate blogs, there are stories that can be amplified when told together. Also, mas masaya pag nagku-kwentuhan ang barkada diba?  And so our ring leader, Kris put up BetterMe.ph … [Continue reading]
