Wishlist of a Mom at Home

I posted in my Instagram almost a year ago about my wishlist. Why? Partly to serve as a note to self on things to buy and partly (I mean honestly 😊) as a hint for someone to have ideas on what to give on special ocassions - birthdays, Christmas, etc. Hahaha!

Survival Tips in Raising Kids Alone

Sleepless nights, restless days…whatever! Raising kids alone has many ups and downs that would eventually cause you headaches on what to do first or next. Though I have a to-do list, in raising kids alone, things just got real mixed up! Aside from common pieces of advice, like time management and handling finances, here are some of the survival tips I want to share.

Challenges in Raising Kids Alone

From the moment my husband left for work abroad, I consider myself being a single parent – and raising the kids alone is included in the package. Hahaha! I thought raising the kids alone is as easy as ABC especially that I’m just working home-based and my kids’ ages are now 6 and almost 5 years old. Unfortunately, I’m dead wrong! Huh! Sad to say. For parents out there, here are some of the challenges in raising kids alone.

Dengue in Kids

I know this is a late post already, perhaps I'm still in the recovery phase? Recovery from the stress of catching up things and deadlines from the tasks I had left when my 2 kids were admitted to the hospital. Yes, both of them at the same time. Ugh! My 6 year old son was diagnosed with pneumonia and my 4 year old daughter with Dengue. They had different diagnosis but they're both monitored for pneumonia and dengue, just being vigilant.

Easy Christmas Nail Art Designs

Hey there moms! Are you done doing your chores, particularly the laundry? Well, it's time for nail care! I usually do my nail art after washing plates or clothes because the cuticles were softened and it would make the nail routine easier and faster.

It's Christmas time so I'll be sharing here some of my easy nail art designs. These designs are easy as they only involves basic brushing and dotting technique. I only use toothpick as a dotting tool.

Printables: Grade 1 Questionnaires - 3rd Grading Prelim

Every mother is a multitasking worker. Yes, a 24/7 worker with the salary of love and affection. So much for the drama hahaha...I am sharing a tip for multitasking mommies - making questionnaires for your kid's exams.

This is a great help for me as I can leave my kids answering their questionnaires while I do my online job or the neverending mom-at-home household chores. Hahaha.

Printables: K1 Questionnaires - 3rd Grading Prelim

Hey moms! Are you in struggle in studying your kids for their periodic exams? If yes, then high five to us. But don't be too anxious or stressed as children learn naturally and gradually in their everyday life. 

However, I have some printables to share as a little guide for your preschool. These are my K1's questionnaires that I made for her to answer and prepare her for the exam.

Upcycled Christmas Tree Decors

For the past 3 years in our own family home, we only had a small Christmas tree. It's only 2 feet tall which we think was good enough for a family of "small" like us. Hahaha! So last October, my 4-year-old daughter told me that she likes a bigger Christmas tree. And in a Frozen theme which means she wants blue and white to be dominant colors. Here's our simple Christmas tree and how we made some of its decors out of upcycled materials...

McDo Happy Meal: Super Mario

Since my father brought them to McDo, my kids would tell me "Ma, we went there with Papalo!" every time we pass by McDonald's beside Gaisano Mactan. So after church today, we had our lunch at the very same McDonald's they always point.

I know about McDonald's Happy Meal - the red box with the famous smile and a toy inside, however I am not updated of the toys they're offering. But recently, they launched their Happy Meal that features Super Mario!
