Bell Sleeves + Embroidered Denim

Happy Thursday! How's your week going so far? Mine has been good! Last weekend, I was able to spend a few hours to myself, special thanks to my husband for letting it happen. And no, it's not my Mother's Day present. I finally got my much needed haircut; I haven't had one in 2 years. And got a ... READ the POST

Decorate Your Home With Personalized Art From 76th & Newbury

I adore anything personalized. If you've seen my son's first birthday party, you'll see that I had most of the decorations, even his outfit, personalized. Whenever we'd go home to Manila, I'd have something made that's personalized for my kids if not for our family, like our family hand print on a ... READ the POST

Potty Training In 3 Days: The Secrets To Be Successful

Potty training, by itself, sure can be challenging and overwhelming especially if it's your first time. Add 3-day to that equation and that can get REALLY STRESSFUL! I know what you might be thinking... Potty training in 3 days, does it work? I totally get that! When I started hearing about those ... READ the POST

My daughter first started showing interest in the potty when she was 18 months. Being the excited mom that I am, I rushed to my nearest Target the first chance I got and purchased this potty. One day, she said she wanted to go to the potty so we just sat her there and she peed on her own. That was pretty exciting for us but we didn’t do anything after that because her school won’t be able to do potty training until she’s in the 2’s room. Since my husband and I work full time during weekdays and she’s mostly in school, we didn’t want her getting confused; so we decided to wait until she has moved up to the 2’s room, where they’ll be taught how to use the potty, before we start potty training at home.

Off The Shoulder Crochet Dress

Happy Tuesday! I hope you had a wonderful weekend. Ours was good - our office closed early last Friday so I took advantage of it by getting snack from McDonald's on my way home and we had afternoon snack together as a family; then we took the kids to a nearby playground. On Saturday, we went ... READ the POST

Make Reading Time More Interesting With Personalized Children’s Books From I See Me!

From the time my kids were born, I always make it a point to include reading to them in our routine. When they were younger, I would read to them every night before they go to sleep. They've always loved reading; which is why I would always give them a book as a gift for any occasion. But now that ... READ the POST

What Moms Really Want For Mother’s Day + Giveaway

My mom is one of the women I know who isn't addicted to shoes; she is fascinated to flip flops (the ones with great quality) though. I can still remember back when I used to live in the Philippines, I would always take her out on a date for Mother's Day or her birthday and give her a new pair of ... READ the POST

Stripes + Denim Overalls

I am really loving all the fashion trends lately, cold shoulders, off the shoulders, denim overalls, and bell sleeves. I remember back when I was younger, I would always find myself wearing denim overalls if I'm not wearing baggy jeans (yup, I went through that phase too); and I've always loved ... READ the POST

Give The Best Gift Ever With Songfinch – A Personalized Song For That Special Person

I love music and I can definitely say that music has been a huge part of my life. I remember back when I was younger, I would turn to music either when I was happy or sad; especially when I was heartbroken. There's something about hearing someone sing some words accompanied by a melody that makes it ... READ the POST

How To Survive Sightseeing In New York With Toddlers

Back in November, we drove to New York for a few days to show my parents around. I would consider it as one of the most stressful trips I've taken so far with my kids, mostly because I was trying make sure that my parents get to see as much tourist attractions as possible while also trying to ...
