Do-It-Yourself Memo Board

I have always been fascinated with DIY ever since I was a little girl. I remember creating my own typewriter toy made from bond paper and get amused by the realistic sound it produced whenever I tap it with my fingers. I also built my own doll house made from shoe box and created toy furnitures from cartons and a doll closet out of zesto box and popsicle sticks. Yes, I'm a small-time artistic geek in my own little ways.

My DIY Memo-Board

I always love the Yuletide season because I like wrapping gifts in a not-so-conventional way. I love the back-to-school month when I need to wrap my kids' books and notebooks and have their colorful labels and name tags done. I am also guilty in meddling with their school projects that should be done by themselves because I have so much suggestions in mind and I couldn't resist to see their works plain and simple.

And, as a stay-at-home mom, I am a self-confessed OC when it comes to organizing everything in the house and make it slick and clean. But since I have a toddler roaming around who takes a big chunk of my time attending to his needs and cleaning and packing away the things that he repeatedly scatter on every corner of the house, it's so hard to find time for my little art projects.

And the day comes when my kids (and the husband) were engaged with their own little world (the toddler is watching his favorite cartoons, the 9 year old holding an iPad, the eldest and the husband is watching TV), I sneak some time to make a memo board made from used gift wrapper, colored cartons, colored papers, clips and old magazine cut out.

I want my memo board to have a receipt pouch because I tend to misplace the important receipts especially for those which are still covered with warranty.

I also added an old clip board where I could clip the recent electric/water bills and the phone/internet bills.

And don't forget the memo pads of course! I am a huge fan of memo/sticky pads. Whenever I visit National Bookstore, I'll always go back for 1 or 2 memo pads even if I was already lined up to the cashier. Heheh. 😁

My husband calls me "adik" and a "hoarder" when it comes to school supplies. I admit, I was bewitched by school supplies. I don't care. It makes me happy. 😊

Conti's Ensaimaditas and Cheese Swirl

And as usual, this is one of the delightful sweet pasalubong from hubby. He’s the sweetest person on earth who loves simple presents and big surprises. He arrived at home from his night shift duty at around 8am. My little boy and I just got up from bed, me having my cup of coffee and my little boy having his glass of milk. It’s just another morning of what-to-prepare-for-breakfast dilemma of a mom when he arrived with 2 boxes of bread. I would like to share my honest review with Conti's Ensaimaditas and Cheese Swirls.

Discounts and Privileges for the Persons With Disability

It was only last year when I heard about the PWD card that would give the persons with disability (PWD) the privileges entitled for their needs. The local government amended the Republic Act No. 7277, an act for providing for the rehabilitation, self development, and self reliance of persons with disability and their integration into the mainstream of society and for other purposes and otherwise known as The Magna Carta for Disabled Persons, was passed in March 24, 1992. I am a proud mom of a six-year old child with special needs. He is my second child who was diagnosed with Global Developmental Delay Syndrome. Ever since he was a baby, we noticed some of his traits on lack of potential at certain points of development that made us confused about what to do so we consulted to a Developmental Pediatrician. He was born as an eight-month premature baby boy, sickly and always in the hospital for a long period of time. We're taking good care of him with unconditional love and...

Geronimo Stilton: Fa-mouse-ly funny and whisker-licking-good Adventure Series

My kids are just as fond of books as I am. They grew up choosing books over toys, choosing National Bookstore or Booksale over Toy Kingdom. My eldest even saves his daily baon to be able to buy his favorite book or kids’ magazines because I also teach them to be responsible when it comes to spending and saving money. As early as one year old, I encourage my kids to read because as a reader myself, I want them to spend more time reading a book than watching TV while inside the house because I learned that being too addicted to the television increases hyperactivity for kids. There are times when I see ourselves sitting in every corner of the house holding books. I have my own collections of different fiction and non-fiction books. The kids have their own collections of books, too and one of them is the Geronimo Stilton series of adventures. Php285.00 each at National Bookstore
