This morning, just like any other mornings without school, the kids came into our room right when they got off bed. But today, they came in running and talking together at 120 mph. "Tor has a loose tooth" I was excited more than any of my kids were, or so it felt that way. Let's back off a minute. Ever since the kids had friends in their class with loose or missing tooth, they have been so

And so after a long drought, we finally got a substantial amount of moisture... snow. And with that comes snow days for kids. The weekend of President's Day we got a 4-day weekend. Back to school on a Tuesday and then again Wednesday, then we got snowed in. Off from school, Thursday and Friday. And weekend rolls in, and here we are again, awaiting another snowstorm.  I was getting ready for

Super Bowl Sunday. Who cares? I know I don't. My kids don't either. Daddy kinda does but he is in bed recovering from the flu... while watching the game. So the majority wins: Nobody cares. The TV in the living was off.  I make it a point to check the weather before I get the kids' clothes ready for the next school day. I usually use my computer to do it but there were way too many things

BEFORE AFTER Finally all the windows in the living room has been replaced... a year and lots of patience later. Thanks to my wonderful husband. So we were stuck with 3 pairs of old windows. Well, just 2 pairs since the first window was replaced a year ago. This is the front view of the upper part of the window and the lower part has nine squares instead of six.

Snickerdoodle. The first time I heard about snickerdoodles was back in May of 2002. It was and still is hubby's favorite cookie. Fast forward October 2002, it was hubby's first trip to the Philippines. He brought with him snickerdoodles so I can try them. I don't remember if I liked it or not but I sure remember eating crumbs of it. Yeah, those crumbs traveled half way around the world

It was time to purchase a new bottle of night time moisturizer. I don't like the oily kind because for some reason after the kids were born, my skin has turned from being annoyingly oily to really dry. Also, I don't like wearing moisturizer during the day cause when I sweat... oh boy! I sweat easily. After browsing around for a possible Olay 7 anti-aging night time moisturizer, I stumbled upon a

My two kid-free days are Tuesdays and Thursdays. After dropping the kids off at 7:45 am I get the day all to myself until around 3 in the afternoon. But I don't remember going back to bed at all since school started. Too many things to do - gym, bath, make beds, laundry, vacuum, etc. So I am now one of them. I started collecting our toilet paper rolls for any possible crafts or DIY home decor in

So we all do it, we go to Pinterest, pin here and pin there. Healthy foods here and there. Money-saving ideas here and there.I must admit I am one of those. So I have been pinning new food ideas, DIY home decor ideas, crafts kids can do and so fort.  The school has started and I now have some a couple of days without kids and work so that means some free time right? Free time to clean

As I have mentioned in my previous post, I am not much into freezer meals. But since then that has changed. I still love crispy vegetables over those soggy ones however, I have decided it is better to slow cook meats then add the fresh crispy veggies when it is time to serve dinner. I have been doing this for a while now though so this isn't a new idea (i.e. packaged mac n cheese with corn and

In the last month or so I have been contemplating on trying out freezer cooking. I first tried it with burritos and eggrolls. I think the hardest part of the first try was preparing and slow cooking pinto beans. But it turned out good. So I wanted to take it up a notch. I tried freeze cooking Scooters spaghetti this time. It wasn't a total failure, however, the kids didn't really like

.... was the kids' last day in swimming class. Iza has moved up to starfish and Tor to Ray. I am happy that Tor has finally overcome his fear of the deep. I am thinking about getting Iza into swim academy. .... was the first time I sat on a poolside chair all by myself. Thirty minutes may not seem that long, but it was to me. ... I converted one of Tor's shoe boxes to a DVD storage box.

Here is a 15-minute short movie about my kids' life in pre-K at Resurrection Catholic School. It may not be a big deal to some parents but to me this is such a huge step: moving on the Kindergarten.  This short movie is a thank you to everybody who has been a part of my kids' first few years of educational journey.  Enjoy!

School went by so fast. As a mother of two pre-K kids, alone time is very rare. But when they do, I am left clueless on what to do with my free time. The first week with no school. Kids were awake between 7:30 and 8. There were days when they do wake up later than that. Those days, I am thankful for. They crawl next to us and turn on the TV to PBS Kids, while hubs and I sneak in some more
