My heart drops a bit whenever my 3-year old strives to be more adventurous for my liking. She likes to play on the slide. Have the swing pushed stronger than what is fitting for her age. I imagine her falling and breaking a leg, and it takes some effort not to shout, “Be careful!” whenever […]
We went to The Big Bad Wolf book sale last night at The World Trade Center. The book sale runs from February 22 to March 4, and is open 24 hours a day. Admission is FREE and the crowds have significantly thinned when we went, which made for a comfortable shopping experience. This year, I […]
My daughter refuses to finish her lunch because she wants to open up her new gift, a Cinderella castle made of Lego. So she’s at the floor moping, whining and refusing to eat her lunch. It’s dirty on the floor, but she doesn’t care. She wants to play Lego with her daddy, and SHE MUST […]
Today is the Sunday before Halloween. SM Megamall has a grand Barbie party and it’s packed. We couldn’t get it so we tried for the next best thing — Trick or Treating! This was the best we can do provided that she didn’t want to wear her beautiful Anna costume. She would have looked like […]
My one wish for my baby is that she will have the love of reading. That’s why, I’ve hoarded many books ever since she was born. We now have a growing library of books for her to read. However, books can get really expensive. The more you buy, the more expensive it gets. I’ve also […]
This month, our 2 year old daughter cleaned her teeth at our neighboring dentist. This is the third time she’s visited the dentist for cleaning. Luckily, she was docile and kept still for most of the cleaning. “Why would you bring her to the dentist?” my father-in-law scoffed. “All her baby teeth will eventually fall […]
I talked about the Big Bad Wolf Booksale the other day. We were all having a ball scouring through rows and rows of books. My 2 year old daughter kept on putting books to the pushcart while my poor mother and her yaya was putting them back. I had a small realisation: While we were […]
My husband thinks I’m crazy. “Why do you even need to celebrate her birthday party? She’s only two,” he said. “She is way too young to remember.” He sees me buying stuff for her lootbag. I am very happy with my purchase: From left to right, I’ve prepared a small cute sling bag, ball that […]
My daughter’s teacher has been complaining about our 19-month old child. She said that our kid is strong-willed and hard headed. The teacher also said that she has a tendency to hurt herself when she is frustrated. According to the teacher, our baby goes dabog dabog (pull a tantrum) when she doesn’t get her way, […]
Yesterday, we had to admit my daughter into the hospital. She’s had on and off fever for three days straight, and her white blood cells are a high 38,000 count. The average count for white blood cells for babies her age is just a mere 15,000. Last night, she’s had an x-ray, results of which […]

For Gymboree, we have only availed of their Php 600 trial class in their branch at Robinsons Magnolia. What Gymboree Magnolia Looks Like Here’s what Gymboree […]
