Team Santos Milestone!! We attended our first fashion show last Sunday and it was too too adorable. Gingersnaps celebrated their 20th anniversary with a fashion show which was also the debut of their 10 new models. We all collectively sighed and swooned when these kids sashayed down the runway, along with other cutie pies decked in Gingersnaps outfit.

February is Down Syndrome Consciousness Month and a friend had this awesome idea to create posters of our kids with facts and sayings about Down syndrome.

Crystal Jade has always been our go-to and we order the same dishes every time. So when we went to Greenhills again for some shopping and eating and found … [Continue reading]
Monday Inspiration
Starting the week right with a video that had me BAWLING. Good tears naman hehehe :D Luca's 1000 Miles - Directed by Martin Kalina from Primo Buenos Aires on Vimeo.

Of course what you don't see are the hours of therapy sessions and the bittersweet moments of rearing a child with special needs. But these are not forgotten in the video. … [Continue reading]
