I first encountered HiPP around five years ago. I was looking for formula milk for Kyle but there were so many in the market, I didn’t know which was the best option. I thought, organic would probably be the best type to use, it’s safer. My pediatrician told me that there is one organic brand […]
How to Help Your Firstborn Adjust to a New Baby
In my last article, I talked about how Kyle was different after Kurt was born. The first week Kyle showed changes in his behavior, I thought it was just a passing phase and it will be ok. After two weeks, I started to worry that Kyle won’t go back to normal. I wondered if I’ll […]
Baby Blues: Changes to Your Firstborn after Baby #2
Recently, I realized that mommies might be struggling with helping their firstborns manage and adapt to the idea of having another baby in the house.

Kurt’s First Photoshoot at The Picture Company
A few months after Kurt was born, I was asked if I could do a family shoot with The Picture Company (TPC). I didn’t have to think twice – we tried TPC before when Kyle was a baby. As a family, mahilig talaga kami mag-photo shoot (we really like having photo shoots). We’ve tried different […]

Destination: Australia – Kyle’s First Long-Haul Flight
Australia has been on our travel bucket list for a few years but for some reason, our plans always fall through. Hindi talaga sya matuloy-tuloy. (It really never pushes through.)

When Your Kid Doesn’t Want to Eat
As a mom, you want your kid to eat right and eat well. It’s probably every mother’s dream to have a kid that will eat anything, especially the food that’s healthy and good for their kids. But what if your kid turns out to be a picky eater and doesn’t eat much? When I was […]
