But it’s also no joke when at least one of them gets sick. Because we share a family bed (yes, we all sleep together in one room… yes, teenager included ), when one gets sick, the others are in danger of catching the bug too.
Of course, there’s Nate [...]

It’s only been a month since the school year began. But I feel so tired already. Since June 7, I’ve been waking up at 5:30 AM almost every morning to drive the kids to school. Now more than ever, feel na feel ko talaga ang aking role as chauffeur extraordinaire.
This is because all three kids [...]
“Omeged!!!” was my violent reaction when I learned about the latest “in” thing on chatting – anonymous chatting. You know how we as kids were told not to talk to strangers, and how we also teach our own kids not to do so?

I am proud to say that my children do not have dental phobia. The two girls love [...]
