Unconventional Us

By Mommy Donna and Kib - May 27, 2015
I must say, we have a unique family set-up.  I'm a single mom, a work-from-home mom, homeschooling mom, and a stage mom.  My son is never been under the care of a yaya.  When I was still working outside our home, it was my mom who took care of my son.  I also bring my son to his auditions.  If I cannot personally...

Kib's 2015 Summer Adventures

By Mommy Donna and Kib - May 25, 2015
Last year, Kib had a busy summer.  He attended theater acting workshop, singing and dancing workshops, and McDonald's Kiddie Crew workshop (see blog here).  This year, I wasn't really able to plan his summer activities, but I really promised to him that he will have something to get busy about apart from our regular routine of attending events, doing household chores, and homeschooling...

Home Improvement 101

By Mommy Donna and Kib - May 20, 2015
Recently, my son and I did some home improvement project, particularly repainting our gate. My uncle noticed some rust formation on our gate, so he told me to get someone to do the painting job and gave me money to buy the materials needed.  Since I do not have much budget in hiring people to do the job, I just thought of making...

Simply Me

By Mommy Donna and Kib - May 18, 2015
One thing that I learned in parenting is not to set aside your own aesthetics. Even if rarely go out of the house, I make sure that I still look fresh and presentable whenever I have a meeting outside or just simply do some errands.  When I accompany my son to his auditions, I really make an effort to freshen up.  Ayokong mapagkamalan akong...

Got Pregnancy Cravings? Here's How to Deal with Them

By Mommy Donna and Kib - May 15, 2015
When I was still pregnant with Kib, on the first trimester, I didn't know what to eat.  At a certain moment I like the food but after a few hours I don't like eating it anymore.  I always end up giving my baon to my co-teacher and would just buy at a karinderya near the school where I used to teach.  My mom...

My #Balik-Alindog Project

By Mommy Donna and Kib - May 12, 2015
I was thin all throughout my life until I got pregnant in late 2005.  Imagine, I was weighing less than 100 pounds then.  My friends were so envious at me because they were all getting heavier while I still maintain my svelte figure.  Even if I eat two cups of rice every meal, I still don't get fat.  I was also active then;...

Jadan Kib's Beauty Salon: My Son's Treat on Mother's Day

By Mommy Donna and Kib - May 11, 2015
When there's a special occasion in our lives, I really wanted to do something special on that day.  Last year's Mother's Day, we went to Balik-Bukid fair at Sta. Elena Fun Farm.  It was a wonderful experience for us as we breathe fresh air and played with different farm animals.  This year, I can say that I was blessed to attend several mommy-blogger...
