I missed my scheduled check-up last March 12 because my calendar's full that day.  I originally planned to squeeze in my check-up that afternoon, but my dad's advance birthday celebration extended until six in the evening.  So I thought, I'll just reschedule.

School break is just an inch away from my kids and finally summer is here!  In our family, just like how I was brought up, school break doesn’t actually mean idle time for them.  The break also signals the perfect time to enroll them in summer workshops or sports clinics or to whatever activities they’re interested in.  It also means family vacation to beaches or nearby hotels for relaxation and recreation.

It's true that every pregnancy is unique from any other.  I'm pregnant with my third child and even the first two were a lot different from each other.  There were some people who would give me unsolicited advice, tips, and other list of things to do or avoid.  I know people mean well, but sometimes, it's better to just be supportive and not be a pregnancy guru to a pregnant woman.  Remember, the hormones are wild and unstable when pregnant.  So anything you say may affect one differently, you wouldn't really know.  Let me share my pregnancy stories.

You’ve been thinking about Holy Week and you’ve been planning what to do during your downtime with the whole family. By now, you’ve probably finished listing down the churches to visit for the traditional Visita Iglesia. You’ve probably decided where to bring the family for a fun Easter Egg Hunt on Easter Sunday, too.

Now, while we’re all looking forward to some moments of silence and reflection during the upcoming Holy Week, how about scheduling a special “date” with your loved ones at the Mall of Asia Arena before heading on to your favorite Easter Egg Hunt?

I am pregnant now and the things that I could do or go to are very limited.  For example, I cannot travel that much especially if I have to fly-in to the destination.  Hence, all I could do right now is wander to places I want to travel to in and out of the country.  If there is one city in the south that I keep on coming back to, it is only Cebu City.

Any mom will tell you that they want an organized and clutter-free home for sure.  But let's face it, it has always been a challenge, especially if you have kids under the age of ten and a husband who's into wired gadgets!  In our own home, no matter how I clean the rooms and organize the living room, I still always find it in a mess after a few hours, sometimes just a few minutes!  That's why I could say really that the struggle is real.
