A little back story –
A few days before the shoot, Mia lost one of her Continue reading
Every parent wants the best possible education for their child, and you have many options available today from which you can choose to provide your child with a quality educational experience. Narrowing down these options can sometimes be a challenge, especially if your child has special needs such as being a gifted learner who thrives on additional stimulation. As you begin exploring the programs in your area, use this guide to understand the key differences between public, private and distance learning options.
I was luckily given this opportunity, together with 4 other moms, to be in a promotional video for Smart Parenting & Calpol Philippines, and I thought I’d share with you the crazy moments before all of this happened.
It was something I truly didn’t expect because when I attended the pre-interview, there were several times when my mind went blank!
To name one instance, when they asked me the simple question of sharing my special moments with Mia, I couldn’t think of any!

It was the opening night of Annie The Musical and we couldn’t be happier that our 2-month wait was finally done!
We availed of the 25% Early Bird discount last July and we were so excited for Mia to have her first theater experience as part of the audience.
We are big Annie fans and I remember a time when Mia would sing along with the movie soundtrack EVERYDAY. The whole playlist was our morning alarm clock and it never failed to Continue reading
Kids often throw tantrums at the mall because there’s something they can’t have. Yes? Yes.
A toy or a candy that we refuse to buy can suddenly turn our angelic and normally behaved ones into unmanageable kiddos, kicking and screaming on the floor.
But throwing a fit isn’t exactly the same for 4-year-old boy, Maji. Continue reading
