A few days ago, I got a message from my Facebook Page from an expectant mommy asking for an advice as she’s a first-time mom. I gave her my #1 advice which is “rest as much as you can” (and a few more). I couldn’t stop thinking of her so I thought “how can I …
Parents Get Up (No Matter What)
Last week was challenging for me. I was sick almost every day. I’m glad I am now healed and can go back to doing the things I love to do. Sunday last week, I had dysmenorrhea around the time I was teaching Sunday School in our youth department. I haven’t had dysmenorrhea in a long …
Ano ang Tandem Nursing?

Mama & Nate’s Weekend Playdate
My cousin, who stayed at home for a few weeks for her interview with the US embassy gave Nate 13 game arcade tokens. Since the day Nate got it, he kept telling me to go to SM so he could use them. I told him we’d have to wait ’til the weekend to go there. …
