We have finally decided to join the YouTube bandwagon, yey! We call it Captain Melon. It’s a nickname that the boys came up with and it kind of stuck. 🙂 It’s basically about the adventures of the kids of MaMeMiMommy.com. We feature toys, fun places, and restaurants around the metro. We also try to inject […]

3 Lessons from the Lactation Room
Just one week of being away from the baby for long periods landed me in the Lactation Room at Cardinal (Cardinal Santos Medical Center). I was there for three long hours while the lactation nurse worked on my clogged ducts and milk blisters. It was not the most fun of experiences and I certainly won’t […]
The One about the Donation
Someone asked for my help and I refused. And that’s a first. A couple of days ago, out of nowhere, a friend chatted me up on social media. It started with a big, big congratulations on the baby, which I found odd as it’s been almost four months since I gave birth. Still, I thanked […]
When I Became the Mommy Monster
I’ve always thought that I was doing a good job (not a perfect one but good enough) parenting the two boys. That is, until baby number 3 came along. Suddenly, everything was out of control. The boys seemed to have grown fangs and tails overnight. Bad behaviour resurfaced, good manners forgotten. That, coupled with a […]
Baby K’s Birth Story
Hi everyone! I’m back! Well, not really. I’m still in zombie mode but I’ll squeeze in this birth story while it’s still fresh in my mind. March 9, 2017 3PM: “You’re still pregnant?” “You’re still pregnant?” That was how my OB reacted when I went to her for my weekly checkup that day. I wasn’t actually due […]
Feb-ibig Stories
Before the love month officially comes to a close, let me share with you some of the love (and hate) stories that pretty much sums up my busy February. Love is Action When we got a refill of our favorite dishwashing liquid, Bubble Man, this boy decided to show some love by doing the dishes. How […]
Big Boys Do Cry and it’s Okay to Let Them
Generally, my 5-year old has a happy and pleasant disposition. He’s normally cheery and friendly, offering a smile and a greeting to people he knows. Because of this, you’d easily know if and when he’s in a foul mood. Instead of a wide smile, his lips would be set into a tight line, his brows […]
Dove Says: Be Your Own Kind of Beautiful
A couple of days ago, I received this gift from Dove. It came with the message that every woman should celebrate her unique beauty, embrace and even express it. The message reminded me of a contest the brand had in a local publication 10 years ago. Yes, 10 long years ago! I remember because I […]
How to Win and Lose like a Pro
And the third place goes to… It was the day of the kids’ declamation contest. Each of the seven classes has performed its stint, showcasing the students’ vocal powers and acting abilities. In all fairness, my class had done very well. No, I’m not the teacher, nor was I the coach. I was just the class rep sitting […]
3 Gifts that Reflect MaMeMiMommy
In the blogging world, we are often shrouded in mystery, hiding behind a name, a URL. We join communities and promote our posts but it is not always that we can all get together and learn beyond each other’s name and website. Mommy Bloggers Philippines is thus so nice to have crafted the MBP Gift Swap among its […]
