It's summer and what better way to  maximise  our kids' activities? As parents, how do you want their summer to be productive and at the same time learn new things and/or hone the skills they already possess?  My daughter for the past year has been so inclined with arts that she could spend hours painting, drawing Dinosaurs of all sorts and coloring her artworks. Despite the mess she makes in her room, I let her give space in order for her to be at her best in her creativity. My son, on the other hand loves robots. He likes to build, destroy and recreate all his toys that sometimes, I scold him for loosing some of its parts. But then, I remembered again, when they attended the workshop several years ago at Engineering for Kids, according to them, it is the kids' curiosity that allows them to be creative and recreate the things around them. True enough, even if he disassemble things, he would still create new and unique set of robots everytime.  T...

If you have been following me on my instagram account, you will probably know that I have been using essential oils for the past few months since last year. The past two years that I have been member of one of the essential oils group in facebook, it was only about mid July of 2017 that I pursued reading and took it by heart what are these essential oils.  In my family, it is imprinted in our DNA allergies that requires long term intake of oral medicines. I was crazy to believe that it will stop in my generation but when my eldest son turned four, he already showed signs of rhinitis. That was when I started already seeking an alternative relief for it. Being a nurse myself, I don't want him to resort to medicine always and be dependent on it. But it is really horrifying when it is your loved one suffering from it.  My first essential oils, 2ml each  But what are essential oils? These are extracted from plants through the process of distillation wherein it con...

Last Saturday, me and my family were invited for the media preview of Okada Manila's family-friendly indoor fun facility. It was our first time to go there and were awed and satisfied our curiosity as to how it really looks like inside.  After a long walk in the walls of Okada, finally we were able to reach Coral Wing--where PLAY is located. PLAY stands for  Purposeful Learning And Activities for the Young.  It sits inside the 44 hectare prime land and billion development which is the largest and booming entertainment resort city. Who would've thought there is a fun facility inside?  Upon entering, we were given bands and took off our shoes, (please note that you need to wear socks all the time) and we went inside the happy place. My giddy and excited daughter immediately went all over the place that my mommy energy couldn't keep up.  So what really sets them apart amongst the rest of the play/fun place? The facility offers dedicated lear...
