I just stumbled across it today for the first time and have since added it to my Favorites! I'm half-Filipina, half-German and am a new Mom and want to try to teach my daughter everything I can about the Philippines although I've only been there one time. I try to make my favorite foods: pancit and halo-halo as much as possible. :-) I hope to bring my daughter and husband there someday! What a wonderful website (Tiffany) and posting (Jing)!

My only thought is that I might make one with oil cloth/table cloth fabric so that if you're somewhere (like a picnic or on the road) you could just wipe the plate off a bit and put it back dirty. Then when you get home you could wash the tableware and wipe out the mat & pockets. Kepp those great ideas coming. I'm making one for the baby shower I'm hosting next month!!! What a great idea!

Feed infants & let children use the bathroom, stretch and run around. We used to have them run races-they loved it! Part way through the day on one of the 'running stops', we would rotate where everyone sat-including me. I would sit in the back seat-which the children loved (and was actually very fun) and an older child loved getting to sit in the front with dad. They will be such happier 'travelers' if you can do this. These few things are good for everyone's general circulation and attitude! It may take a bit longer to get where you are going, but it is worth it! :) We also played 'road games' where we would watch for certain things along the way. The Alphabet sign game was a favorite-find a sign with an 'A', then a 'B' and so on through 'Z'. Singing favorite songs or reading a book to everyone was also a great way to pass time. Watching a movie or two-when we finally had that technology-was a life savor on especially long trips! :) Travel tips~
