Mommy Moments - That's My Dad!

This week's theme is all about THE DAD. Before my hubby and I got married, my son Lance and him were very close. From the first time that they interacted, they already clicked! That's why I was so relieved. Of course, when you're a single mom, there's the thought that your kid might not like the one you love thus, it may not be a happy ending for everybody. At least I didn't go through that. Here are some of the pics of my hubby with the boys and their bonding moments. Happy MM!

New Awards!

It's been a long time since I really had time to focus on my blog. Hehe...busy with the new baby and all. And I found out that I have an award from Mami Yami of Mom Writes For A Cause. Thank you so much for the award...especially for the friendship! I really do appreacite this so much!

Malcolm @ 1!

Time really is fast. I can't believe that our new baby is already a month old! My in-laws went to our place today and they brought Pitchi-Pitchi and Kalamay with them. My husband and I bought a big bilao of pansit and my Mom bought a cake. The message looked smudged because of the box. It was just a small celebration with our family. So happy one month Malcolm! We love you!

Fun Gifts for Children

Aside from me, I have four other siblings and all of them already has their own families and their own kids as well. As of the moment, my Mom has 11 grandchildren and most of them are in their toddler stages. So when it comes to gift-giving (since almost each month someone will celebrate his birthday), it's really hard to think it over. However, I came across toddler nap mats which will be perfect for my brother's kids since he has 4 kids. And did I mention that all of them are boys? It's also convenient for my brother's kids because he can easily stack the mats anywhere. For my sister's one and only daughter (she has 3 kids by the way),  these cool personalized towel wraps will suit her. It comes in different stylish colors and you can even request for an embroidery at a very low price. And lastly, for my other sister's boys, colorful and stylish plates and placemats for children will be best for them since they love eating so much. Good thing about these fun products is, you can somehow personalize them and they're really affordable too!

New Awards!

I was surprised when I found out that 2 of my fellow bloggers gave me awards! Thanks to Mami Yami of Mom Writes For A Cause and Mami Laine of Laine's Abode for these awards. Mwuahugs!

Been Busy...

I'm really sorry fellow bloggers. I wasn't able to post new entries and visit your sites. I've been busy taking care of our new angel plus, I'm still recovering from my operation. It's really hard when you gave birth thru a cesarean section. I can tell the difference. With my first born, I had a normal delivery. After about a week, I'm already A-ok. But now, it's really hard to recover. There are still instances that I can't move freely because the operation hurts, and since I'm super conscious about the operation, I'm afraid to move normally because there's this feeling that my operation might open or something, even though I know that's impossible. This has been very hard for me. But I will try to post and visit you guys at least once a week. Cheers! =)

Mommy Moments - Grandparents Bonding

This week's Mommy Moments is all about the kids' time with their grandparents. Since I live with my Mom, it's not really a problem for my kids to bond with their GrandMa. Yup, kids na! My newborn already has a picture with my Mom. Enjoy guys! =)

Meet Malcolm Benjamin Moreno

Hey fellow bloggers! I'm really sorry I wasn't able to go online for a couple of days...I guess some of you already know why. I already gave birth! Our new baby boy was delivered May 18th, 2009 at 11:40 AM. God, after almost 24 hours of labor, we finally made it. So here's a picture of our new angel, Malcolm Benjamin Moreno.

Tourism Philippines

For you bloggers out there who  love to travel, I recommend for you guys to check out this site:

http://tourism-philippines.com/

It's a simple site that gives you an idea on where to go if you're planning out of town trips, pictures of the beautiful places here in the Philippines (check out the pictures of the beaches!) and most importantly, where to look for cheap-finds for accomodations, dining, and where to have fun! Of course, if you're planning a vacation, you would like to spend the most out of it - without being expensive. It also gives you a heads up on those things that you need to look out for like overpriced cuisines and spots where you're not going to fully enjoy your stay. Check it out guys. It's really informative. You'll really find it useful. Cheers!

Danny Gokey - Out!

I'm an avid viewer of American Idol and as much as possible, I wouldn't want to miss a show. But last night, was one of the worst episodes for me. My bet, my favorite, my idol Danny Gokey had to take his final bow. Waaaaaaaa!!! I really love his voice since it's so...let's say UNIQUE. I remembered him singing Endless Love, I almost cried! Because when he sang the last line, he looked up as if singing for his wife. Yeah...his wife actually died and never got the chance to see him perform and fulfill his dream. However, I'm sure that even if he's already out of the AI competition, he'll have offers to create an album and share his wonderful blessing once more to his fans...Like me. =)
