It’s not often that one gets the chance to sit down and talk with brilliant people.
And that was exactly what I got when I, along with other bloggers, was invited to a lunch meeting with the brilliant mind behind the Darwin International School System, Mr. Rolando Dela Cruz.
Being a mother of three school-age kids, I [...]

What’s one thing that most women can’t seem to get enough of? It begins with “S”… But it’s not a three-letter word. hehehe
SHOES! Well, I have a few — very few– friends who can live with just one or two staple pairs. But most of my girl friends go gaga and each probably has an [...]
Having three kids is, yes, joy.
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.

Many pregnant women, however, do not see or feel this glow. Maybe that’s because of the discomfort brought about by physical and hormonal [...]
Last night, in the bedroom. Kids were winding down. I was getting my dose of Bones. The Christmas episode of Season 1 was on. It was quite an emotional episode, and if you knew me, you’d expect me to be crying. Of course.
This was the episode where the whole team had to be quarantined in [...]
Before I proceed let me tell you that this is a wholesome entry, and it will not tackle the other type of flashing. “Flashing” here refers to the educational type. Just sayin’.

Four-year old Nate seems to be growing at the speed of light! And I just don’t mean physically, though he is quite [...]
