Gone are the days when women were the damsel-in-distress types. Women of today are independent, strong, assertive.
Now I don’t know if that’s always good.
Case in point: my husband has virtually handed over the home to me… Except childcare, of course . He does his part in tutoring the kids in my difficult areas – [...]

One afternoon, as soon as we arrived at home from school, V got one of her old notebooks and began scribbling some stuff. I really wasn’t paying attention.
All through the evening, she kept going back to her scribbles. I got curious, of course. So nosy iMom decided to check it out…

Today is week 2 for the Filipino Mom Blog’s Lunch Box Meme.
My husband and kids are having pork patties in brown garlic sauce for lunch. (I had this for breakfast! )
Ground pork is a staple baon item in our household because of its many possibilities!
