Pretty Practical Mom

Have your toddlers acting like they're grown up? I know most moms are  experiencing this with their toddlers. Kaloka diba? parang may tweens na din tuloy ako. lol!

Last night,My daughter suddenly woke up.she sat on the bed,She still looked so sleepy but she was  smiling at me.I kissed her and told her to go back to sleep but she tried to open up her eyes a bit wider and said  Pi: hi mommy,eat ka na dun,nagluto po si daddy. Me: Ok lang nak,Di gutom si mommy... Pi: sige na po mommy eat ka na po (makapilit) My heart melted that time. She's the sweetest!

My hubby's aunt (Nanay Necy) taught me this recipe.Nanay Necy said that this recipe is a crowd pleaser. I often see this meal on my hubby's side "handaan". You can add this meal on your party menu like fiesta,birthday or baptism. She also said it's affordable and easy to cook so they always include it in their party menus.

since me and hubby are both  working, It's hard for us to go out  on weekdays.so for our Valentine's date we decided to have it on weekend. We were actually planning to go to  Tagaytay last Saturday,We were all  dressed up and good to go na when my  friend messaged us (were on a group  chat then) on facebook. Friend: Who wants to go to Splash  Island tomorrow? I have 4 tickets  for free. No one answered for like 10 minutes  so.... Me: I waaaaaaaaaaaant! Friend: (walang kaabowg-abowg) All yours dear! Me: Huwaw! teynkz fren!.. I immediately called hubby and  announced that we're going to have a  change of plan. so No more Hubby and Wife date in  Tagaytay,Hello family outing in  Splash Island! It was actually our second time  there but we were still excited  because It's my daughter's firsts My daughter loves the water sooo much! She  loves to swim like a dog.lol! so just i...

photo source As far as I remember, My daughter started removing her diaper when she was 20 months old.At night, I continued to put her in diapers back then but she would always removed it on her own. I never bought a potty seat for her.I never thought of potty training her before.I don't know why.maybe because I didn't think it's necessary or maybe I thought that she'll eventually learn how to pee in the toilet. I just noticed that she kept on removing her diaper or she'd wear it but would'nt pee or poop on it,There where also times were she would woke up us in the middle of the night and would say "wee wee " or times where we would wake up with wet floor!  I don't know how she learned not to pee or wet our bed but we we're really impressed back then,We would praised her everytime she peed on the floor. I thought then that it's better to pee or poop on the floor or rug because it's much easier to clean but I was wrong, we...

It's always so great to see our girlfriends once in a while.. Yep,once in while na lng because most of them are mommies na and busy with their own lives and jobs as well. I miss them so much and our chikahan ofcourse! but some things have changed now.. Before our most talked about topic was Ssshhhh S**  but now we're very careful to talk about that since we are now mommies and we're afraid our children might hear every words we say.(children are very curious!)  Well,We still talked about the S thing last Saturday but we used becky words or sign language..(choz!) other terms. LOL So when the children and hubbies are around,We purely talk about mommyhood!  Also,gone are the days when you chat with your girlfriends about anything until dawn but now hindi na pwede...because, we mommies usually bring our children when we have meet ups and we don't wanna go home late right? How about you mommies? Do you brings your kids with you when you go out? Ako kase ganun...
