When the school year started, I promised myself to do good with the kids' snacks most especially that I have already two kids attending school. I did terrible last year when my son was the only one attending school. I only give him snacks that aren't even prepared with a heart. Most often, he would come home not eating it at all. Never was I proud of it, but this time, I have to do something that will make them happy eating their snacks in school. Food preparation in every household is the most crucial part in every meal. It is the make or break of the outcome of you food. It's taste, texture as well as presentation matters especially if you are trying to feed a picky eater just like my eldest.

Last year during our mommy blogger's group's thanksgiving party, I won myself an overnight stay at Privato Hotel which was sponsored by eGetInzz. If you have no idea what eGetInz is, it is booking site wherein you can book accommodations from several cities provinces in the entire Philippines. So in order for me to get the best excuse to use the free accommodation, I booked it a day before Valentines day for the whole family. I made reservations prior to the date and asked if it can be upgraded to a Deluxe room since we are checking in as a family. Yep, so much for being nannyless, nevertheless, I would rather spend heart's day with the entire troop anyway. Check in time was 2pm and arrived quite late as usual. Parking is inside the building and has limited availability per floor. And if I am not mistaken, they only have four to five floors for parking and maximum of 5 cars parked per floor.
