One of the favorite reasons why my kids request us to dine in McDonald's is Happy Meal!  This time, the furry friends from The Secret Life of Pets movie have taken their adventure to McDonald’s! They are now available at all Mcdonald's branches nationwide!

My little one couldn't help but laugh whenever he sees the movie's trailer.  Now that he has all the eight Secret Life of Pets Happy meal toys, he's all the more excited to watch it!

Last weekend, my baby Damien and I witnessed the launch of the NEW Pampers Baby Dry-Pants in partnership with Gymboree's 40th Anniversary, with Pampers brand ambassadors Andi and Olivia Manzano-Reyes.

On rainy days and Mondays, we always crave for comfort food, particularly a soup-based dish.  And in our family, that will always be Sinigang na Liempo with Knorr sa Sampaloc with Gabi.  Ang sarap ng mainit na sabaw .during colder days in our country.  That's why Sinigang will always be perfect no matter what.  So as part of my life goals as a mom, I want to be more hands-on by providing the kids (and the kid at heart, referring to my husband) a Lutong Nanay experience as much as I can because that's what they will remember when they grow up.  It's how I remember my mom too.

It was a rainy afternoon when we braved the bed weather to go shopping for the little one last weekend during Mommy Mundo's Ultimate Clearance Clearout Sale located at The Great Big Room of Fun Ranch in Pasig City.

It's been six weeks since I gave birth to our newest band member, our dear Damien Louie.  As it is with any moms who had just given birth and are going through the adjustments of caring for a newborn (hello sleepless nights or occasional even almost zero bath or solo time), of course I also experienced some level of depression.

This newcomer made me feel as if I'm again a new mom, nanganay talaga ako.  I also breastfeed exclusively so I have to be with him 24/7.  I have been staying at home since my bed-resting days (March, 2016) and for a full-time working mom, it's a major adjustment for me.  How so?  Suddenly, I have no one to converse with the whole day.  I have very limited physical activities.  I can't just go anywhere I want to go or grab the drink or food I've been craving for because I can't leave the house.  Suddenly, I don't own my time anymore.  I feel trapped and imprisoned.

My home improvement project has been on pause mode since I gave birth.  But a couple of weeks before finally popping out my now one-month old baby, I've been decluttering  things we don't need, outgrown, don't use, don't fit, or need updating such as furniture, home decor, linen, kitchenware and dining essentials.

If you are a fan of LEGO and the movie Star Wars like our family, then you'd be happy to know that LEGO® Star Wars™: The Force Awakens™ game is now on PlayStation®4!  I would know because we are fans of both LEGO and Star Wars and we were giddy excited about this news from Sony PlayStation!  We tried it last weekend and I'm now sharing with you highlights of the game, our experience playing it, and the things we like about it.
First, let's un-box our Sony PlayStation®4:

Our new PlayStation®4 came with all these awesome parts!
