When I was pregnant with Andi, one of my favorite places to shop was Baby Company. Every time I was there, my eyes would light up in excitement! Baby clothes, shoes, strollers, carriers, cribs, toys, toiletries, sleeping gear, nursing accessories – you name it, they have it! I could stay there for hours, just browsing …
When I was pregnant, I had a self-imposed clothes ban. In an attempt to be frugal and practical, I vowed not to buy maternity clothes even when my bump ballooned. I didn’t want to blow all my money on pieces that I would only wear for a short period of time. It was quite a …
I read somewhere that only a small number of women – 5 percent, to be specific – actually give birth on their projected due date. I am now one of the rare 5 percent. On my 40th week of pregnancy, my exact due date, I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. While most babies …
Publishing a yearend blog post is something I do every year so I wanted to continue the tradition this year, despite being busy and sleep-deprived. However, this time around, I’ll keep it short because now, I have a needy newborn who requires my attention 24/7! (I am nursing as I type this) 2017 has been …

I just got my brand new Philippine passport… with my brand new last name! Well, the last name isn’t exactly brand new as I’ve been married for two years already, but I only got around to officially and legally changing my name recently. It’s like Facebook: you’re not really officially ‘in a relationship’ unless you update …
Actress Pauleen Luna just gave birth to her beautiful baby girl, Talitha, just in time for her birthday! I had the pleasure of meeting this pretty mama, as well as her husband Vic Sotto, when I hosted their baby shower with the Luna family held last September 30 at Zuni Restaurant in Greenbelt 5. This …
Our Fluffy Space Princess is so blessed to have not just one but TWO baby showers! Actually, that’s two baby showers and one celebratory dinner with Mike’s family, all to commemorate the coming of this little lady who’s already so special even if she hasn’t even come out yet!
