Horror story in 3 words : Mama! Ang kati! (Mom, it's itchy!)  Head lice. Photo not mine. Please. Hehe. CTTO Awww... poor little ones. I remember when my kids were still small, we had a yaya with lice or kuto! Horrible. Ang suyod. Kilala nyo ba siya? And the only way I know to get rid of them (lice) was with the use of suyod (lice comb) but have not been proven to be fully effective in completely eradicating head lice. Because my kids are clingy, there's really a big chance for them to get afflicted and me too. So, the nightmare happened. My kids experienced sleepless nights, they became restless because of itcy scalp and bugnutin every morning due to lack of sleep. Kung hindi lang namin kailangang -kailan ng Yaya noon coz MITD and I were both working, pinaalis na namin siya. Agad agad. Kasi kawawa ang mga anak ko. Ang iba pang ginawa namin, lahat ng gamit niya, pinakuluan para mamatay pati nits (itlog) . Nangangati na naman ako kapag naalala ko yu...

When summer kicks in the first thing that comes to every kid's mind is PLAY! They have more time for physical play outside with their friends. And more time for the parents to rest and play with the kids as well. Physical Play has an important role in every child's development. Physical play includes activities that use body movements to allow children to use their energy, and it gives children the chance to develop gross and fine motor skills, learn new things and socialize. Physical play also benefits a child’s health. It helps a child to develop connections between the nerve cells and the brain. As these connections develop, a child’s fine and gross motor skills, socialization, personal awareness, language, creativity and problem solving are improved.  Last Saturday, I've been luckily invited to join a summer fest for kids and the whole family. I tagged my 2 kids along. It was not an ordinary fest, as attendees will get wet and messy. And for th...

In the Philippines, Mother's day is celebrated every second Sunday of May. For this year it will be on May 13 ❤ Mother's day is a celebration to honor the fabulous women who brought forth God's children into this world,  the mother of the family, as well as motherhood, maternal bonds, and the influence of mothers in society. These fab women have a mile-long to-do list, and by default, they often put themselves at the bottom of the list. Sometimes, they don't even make the list at all.  Most moms feel this damned-if-I-do, damned-if-I don't pressure relating to their decision to work or stay home, and almost  all  mothers, regardless of work status, struggle with feelings of guilt when they take time away from their children to practice self-care AKA self- love. Dear Moms, the moment you become a mother and commit to caring for your child, set an intention for yourself: I will honor and respect myself by regularly taking care...
