Do you ever wonder how our kids, as young and innocent as they are, know what love is? While my daughter (especially my son) may not be able to tell me exactly how she defines love even if I ask her, I honestly think it's when...
Happy Tuesday! I hope you had a wonderful weekend! Mine has been so much fun! I attended a bridal shower for a dear friend of mine last Saturday! I got to meet a bunch of awesome ladies who are just as happy as I am, maybe even more, for her; and got to spend some time with a couple of my good friends. Then on Sunday, my husband and I took the kids to Kid Junction, an indoor playground,...
I adore seeing kids, especially babies, in costumes because they just look so adorable in them. Ever since becoming a mom, I've always been looking forward to Halloween because that means I can dress up my kids in cute costumes. What I didn't like about costumes is that they're so uncomfortable and impractical; not to mention that they're expensive and they get ruined when you wash them. Which is why I've always been an advocate of practical...
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 pedicure as well. It's just so easy to take yourself for granted after being a mom; but...
Happy Tuesday! It's a brand new week; and we also have a new guest author! Today's guest author is Roxana Oliver. Roxana is a lifestyle consultant from Sydney. She is also one of the editors at Higstylife Magazine. Today, she's going to share with us 5 things that bond us with our partners that we probably didn't even know or have been taking for granted. - If you think a successful relationship is based on hard work, you...
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 ceramic plate. I treasure every memory I've made (and yet to make) with my family, and having something personalized captures that perfect moment and ensures that...
My daughter first started showing interest in the potty when she was 18 months. 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...
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 to visit and had dinner with my mother-in-law so the kids can spend time with her. We went to hear the...
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 they're a little bit older, they seem to have a shorter interest in books; and seem...
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 flip flops. She would always get excited every time I get her a pair so I...
