Divi Day

By 1 Comment

One of my favorite things about running ManilaBaby Shop is Divisoria day. We source the materials of the bags ourselves including the lining, the zippers, and all the nuts and bolts that make up our bags. We're hands on and sourcing materials is one of our favorite things to do.

Kuya is now in big school.  He is wonderfully enjoying every moment but he hates when school is out and yaya is not there to fetch him. He will cry AS IN. We have to teach David that waiting time is playing time or that he can go to the library or the mini-garden. We have to always tell him that yaya and the driver are on their way.
