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.
Of course, there’s Nate [...]

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 [...]
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.

When Nate was younger (and a lot smaller), he used to love listening to classical music while sleeping. I’d play a Mozart CD or that free classical baby CD I got from a milk company rep when I was working for the pharma industry. The soothing piano music lulled him to sleep, and he’d snooze [...]

But this also means summer is officially over, and, oh yes, indeed [...]

While I was writing this article for WMN.ph, I suddenly missed having a small baby! My three kids are, well, still kids, but far from the little babies they once were.
My youngest little boy is not so little anymore. Looking at this photo, where he looked so angelic and cuddly, I find myself wishing I [...]

Last Saturday, I attended an event by Johnson’s Baby called “Baby Bedtime A to Zzzs”.

Like it or not (I’m still torn between the two), Christmas is definitely peeking in it’s head – chilly mornings, Christmas carols, and cheeky hints on wishlists from the kiddos!
Nate is crazy over Ben 10 and his aliens. He has this fantasy that he is – no not Ben, but - Humongousaur! Last Sunday, I got [...]

The teenage years – I now welcome this new phase into my parenting karir career.
Daughter Patch turned twelve early this month. She’s not quite into the teen years yet, but the inevitable changes are happening so fast. And I’m talking milestone after milestone here.
Days before her birthday, I noticed a tiny red bump on a [...]
