How to be Your Baby’s Best Teacher with Learning Time
Last week, Baby K and I were invited to the launch of Learning Time Philippines at Arya Residences in BGC. Baby K is my youngest and between shuttling the big kids to school and helping them with homework, I don’t seem to give enough time to the littlest one. I figured I needed all the help […]
How to Enjoy Aqua Planet with Young Kids + Wildest Rides Guide
Last weekend, we finally got to try Aqua Planet, the Philippines’ biggest water theme park in Clark, Pampanga. With very young kids (6, 4, and 1) in tow though, we were a bit skeptical if we would enjoy it. Most of the rides are for people over 48 inches and so we wondered if both […]

Fab Kids’ Bags from Lily and Tucker
It’s too bad that this bag from Lily and Tucker didn’t arrive soon enough or I would have brought it to our trips last summer. It would have been perfect, I surmise. Next time, next time. In the meantime, while waiting for that next opportunity, I’ve put it to good use by using it as one […]
Prismacolor Colored Pencils, Finally!
In my zombie state today (I literally was not able to sleep a wink last night!), I managed to walk to the bookstore and splurge on these very very costly colored pencils! Can you imagine colored pencils ever costing a few thousand bucks?! Makes me rethink losing sleep ever again, LOL! Anyway, no, I haven’t joined […]
Mishka Shoes – Stylish, Foldable Shoes for You and Me
I am not a fan of flat shoes. I think they make me look short (and stout). Before, my shoes were all a couple of inches high. Even my flipflops had to make me slightly taller. Before children, that is. Nowadays, with the kids sticking to me like glue and asking me to carry them, […]
