  Calling all DIY lovers out there! I know most moms love DIY, well then here is another workshop you don't want to miss. Join Memory Crafters for another crafts and arts workshop focusing on Paper Cutting.  This will be on May 17, 2014 at Cravings, 5/L Shangri-la Plaza Mall, Mandaluyong City. It will be from 2-5PM. Fee includes snacks and materials.

Me and my kids hardly get a chance to go out with my everdearest mom. She was away for few weeks and were all glad that she's back home. When I was invited to dine-in at Movie Stars Cafe, I thought this could be a perfect chance to bond with her so I grabbed the chance and took the kids with us. Movie Stars Cafe is located along Sea Side Blvd. in Mall of Asia. It is a movie-themed restaurant perfect for the whole family. 

And because my son made it again to the honors, I asked him what he prefers to receive as a gift from me and his Papa.  We better ask him because he really tell what he likes. That way, its sure that he will get to enjoy whatever it is that we gave him.  'DIGITAL CAMERA!,' he exclaimed with full of conviction. My husb and laughed off, 'Are you serious?' He turned to me, 'Why in all sudden he chose  to receive a digicam over android tablet or gaming console?'

As parents we always want the best for our kids and we do everything just to make sure they are in their best condition. However, there are still instances that we don't have any control of.  Whenever any of my sons got sick, I worry a lot. I am like a spinning top looking for the bestest way to make them feel better. 

We thought of experimenting on low budget meals. So for breakfast, I thought of preparing a budget-friendly Sinigang na Sardinas. I have seen this recipe from a youtube video few months back and just today when I thought of trying to prepare it myself. A meal below Php100.00

With three boys, our house can never be clutter-free for more than an hour. I am pretty sure most moms could relate on that. I was cleaning our messy room yesterday and had collected a lot of litter, dried-out nail polishes, scrap and useless boxes. It pop up in mind why not make those pieces useful again. And since I have been meaning to do DIY projects with my son, I took a crack. Recycling is one of the best way to reduce garbage and clutter at home. 

Many couples are set to tie a knot in June. So as early as April, everything from the receptions, gowns, suits and invitations should be properly planned. It's better to make early reservations to save you from hassles. 

Road testing a product to find out if you are both compatible or not really takes time. It disappoints me if it didnt worked after so many weeks of using while I am so pleased when I am able to find products that really work for me. One of the skin care brands which I really love is Godiva.  Yes,  I am always a fan of Natural skincare products.  I love Godiva n ot only because of it's natural ingredients but also it is proven effective with continued use.

I was so impressed with my goto foundation, CoverGirl Natureluxe  ( read review here ) that I decided to try another Covergirl foundation. Since it's summer, I like a foundation that is perfect on a humid weather. Something that won't melt down right away and it should have a matte finish. This time, I toss coin for CoverGirl Whipped Creme Foundation.  Mall price: Around Php500.00

I don't know how I neglected to publish this post. I guess that is how busy I am lately. I have been bombarded with a lot of activities that I failed to notice a lot of things. Nonetheless, I am forever a proud parent to my sons. Both of them growing up like how me and husband wanted them to become. They never fail to give us something to smile about every moment each day.

Here in my hubby's hometown, Catholics have a yearly ritual which is part of their devotion to their Creator during Holy Week. It is also yearly that I get to witness their Holy Week devotion. 

This is actually my second time shopping at Zalora. And again, it was a smooth transaction. I feel so lucky enough to have acquired a FREE voucher from ZaloraPh after a collaboration here in my blog which I used to spend shopping. Ofcourse since I love shoes, I spent it all on footwear items. Forgive me I chose not to resist the urge. *guilty smile* 

Last Sunday afternoon, I got the chance to attend the ' Get Hooked on D.I.Y ' event held in SM Megamall Building A. I feel grateful to be one of the  mommy bloggers who received an invite for the said event. 3M Philippines in partnership with Good Housekeeping Philippines, have invited space and design experts to educate participants with solutions to tackle current home space and design dilemmas. It is really the most exciting home improvement gathering for moms like me and even to those who are so concerned about home improvement and DIY topics. 

Two days ago, I received a package from BeautyBookPh. They are sending out FREE loot bags to everyone who signed up to their website. BeautyBookPh is a website where they feature different beauty posts including skincare and makeup tips and tutorials If you haven't signed up yet, you can do here (no longer available).  You need to confirm your membership to be able to qualify for the loot bag. Curious about what are the items I got?

  I was wondering why my son asked for some egg shells. It never registered to me that he will make an Easter project. It's probably because this is the very first time he will do an activity of egg painting for the Easter.
