Baby Dove is finally here!!

Nearly 7 years ago, I became a first time mom. I didn't know what to expect. I read books and articles, spoke to moms but nothing prepared me for what was in store. Advices were given, but you know what - you won't truly know what to do until you really become a mom.

Motherhood doesn't have a manual, don't all moms wish that? Life throws unexpected punches and we either dodge or be punched. Being punched in motherhood's face isn't so bad. Yes, it's hard, it hurts, entails a LOT of sacrifices, sweat, tears, fears and a whole lot more. But you see your child smile or when they give you an unexpected hug - you seem to forget all those not so nice things.

Being a mom twice over doesn't mean that I already have a kept it together. Life every day is different, every day is a new challenge. You sort of get the hang of it, but remember - two kids, two different genders, two different personalities, two different minds, two different emotions. It's two of everything.

One thing they have in common though, is eczema. Yes, skin asthma. I'm sure you've read about it here on my blog about our journey. I have searched high and low, here and abroad to find the right type of products for my children's skin condition.

Kailee had it rough since I never had experience, I was trying different brands looking for one that suits her skin type. Finally, I found it - Baby Dove Soap. Unfortunately, it wasn't available locally. I had to scout PX stores for it, hoard and hope that when our stash runs out, I can find it again. Connor was a bit better, since we are already users of Baby Dove.

I am beyond ecstatic and happy that Baby Dove is now locally available. Now, I won't need to hoard nor scour. The best thing about it is that Filipinos can now see and feel the difference of Baby Dove. I personally use Baby Dove during Christmas season when it gets a bit chilly. This is also the soap we bring with us whenever we travel. Look how happy Kailee was when she saw the Baby Dove products.

We love Baby Dove and we hope you will too!

ANSON SUPERMARKET - Grocery delivery!!

Sharing is caring, so we can't keep it a secret any longer. THIS is where we get out groceries! Well, Anson Supermarket has been where we have been purchasing all of our kids' diapers! From Kailee to Connor to Shobe! Yes, yes, yes! A week into the lockdown, it just occurred to us that we can get our groceries from them - but then we thought, we didn't want to force them to do it - after all it's a different time now. But when we asked and they said yes, it was like we won the lottery. We sent out our list - a very VERY SPECIFIC list and voila after a day or two (we weren't in a rush) they told us to schedule a pick up. Please remember that I am sharing this with you guys because I believe so much in the saying 'sharing is caring'. Please be mindful of your language and respect those who will call or message you about your orders. Also note that some items might NOT be available - so manage your expectations. They're a ...

#CookingQuest: Winter Melon Soup ala Didi #EnhancedCommunity

One of the things that gets ooohs and aaaahs in a chinese restaurant is the #WinterMelonSoup. You may ask why? Well because with this soup, restaurants use the winter melon itself as a huge bowl to serve the soup! It's a sight to see as you'll be amazed how they were able to pull it off. You'll see the whole winter melon, and then suddenly they're take out the top part and when you peek in, the soup is inside together with meat bits and other veggies! My mom has tried it at home, and I remember her being nervous that the winter melon doesn't break apart, kunde sira ang presentation! So during this #EnhancedCommunityQuarantine, I chanced upon Theo's Farm that they have winter melon, so I ordered. When I saw it - I knew I wouldn't be able to pull off the carving and serving the winter melon. It actually made the preparation easier. I had to ask my mom, and she told me to steam the winter melon to soften it. Honestly, I don't t...

#CookingQuest: Chicken Stir Fry

When I was little, I used to see my mom, guama and aunt cook in the kitchen. I found it amazing, that they have this idea in their heads on what to cook for us. I remember my guama had small bits of plastic that when opened contained shirmp and cooked pork fat. I asked her what it was for, and she told me that it was to add 'flavor' to the dish whatever it was. I don't remember seeing her look at any cook book or a paper with recipe. She just whipped them all up! When I got older, I became interested in baking - baking because I was afraid of splattering oil. So I stuck to baking for a while. It was only when I got married that I had to dive in and cook. When my Panget and I were newly married, we didn't have a helper during the weekend, so I had to step up. There were times that we didn't have a helper at all (we borrowed my mom's helper to clean), so I had to do all the cooking. It was there that I learned to whip s...
