Pretty Practical Mom

  I've been really busy the past few days that I didn't have time to clean up our humble abode. I know I am also responsible for the upkeep of our house but I am really thankful for my husband that he is taking over the house chores for the meantime. This year I have given away many stuff that we didn't use anymore. I am trying my best and slowly convincing myself to live a minimalist lifestyle. I also started following Minimalist PH and Tipid Living on Facebook to get some advice on how to live a clutter free life. Well I will just post more about it on my next blog . Christmas and New Year are just around the corner. Yay! One common tradition Filipinos follow is cleaning our house thoroughly on or before New Year's Eve. Out with the old and in with the new they say. Most people believe in the idea that cleaning our house before the first day of the new year ensures that we don't carry in our old, or unpleasant memories into the New Year.   Today, I would like to f...

  GGSS! haha The first time my husband dyed my hair was early this year. I wanted to change my hair color again but my husband insisted of doing it for me. (nice) I find this little act of kindness of my husband very sweet .We are always together doing chores and helping each other  even in our small business,  for like almost 8 years. For some, maybe It is "nakakasawa na" 😂but I've never felt it. I am always and still so clingy and Yes I am confident with a heart that my husband feels the same way (haha I hope) He spent hours doing my hair, coloring, rinsing and blow drying my hair and I appreciate it. I love moments like this because unstoppable ang kwentuhan not gossip but our kwentuhan about our goals in life and things we wanna achieve for our family. stress na sya ang likot ko daw hahaha Ayun na nga so we started with bleaching my hair. We used Verdon Bleach yung blue powder about 2 tbsp. then we mixed it with 90ml 12% oxidizer. My husband then sectioned ...

  We all miss the things we used to do before this ECQ Enhanced Community Quarantine. Work, Friends, Eating out and of course COFFEE and However we like to go out and visit a nearby coffee shop.,We can't.. because most establishments are closed and It may be a bitter pill to swallow but Coffee Shops are not essential so they are not allowed to operate. So if you need some coffee fix but can't go outside. Why not try this TRENDING easy to make coffee  " Vietnamese Coffee "or what the locals call  cà phê trứng. It's so easy! It taste like egg pudding. However we e are not going to use Vietnamese Coffee Filter that usually requires slow filtration. You can use any black coffee you have available at home. Brewed coffee or instant coffee are both fine. What you will need?  Two egg yolks Two Tsp condensed Milk 1 Tsp white sugar Ice cubes Brewed Coffee Procedure: Mix or whisk egg yolks, condensed milk and sugar until frothy Put ice in a glass  Pour your black coffee Ad...

Good day mga marse! so my firstborn Sophia just turned seven last January 5, How time flies talaga...I can still remember when she was just a baby cooing and babbling excitedly when we would talk to her. Now a lot has changed. She's now growing to be a fine lady..(char!!) lakas maka 18 ng fine lady noh?? haha. Funny thing was that she really thought na super nagchange na ang aura nya, one time she approached me and said "ma, I think my face is different now, I just looked in the mirror and I noticed some changes ma...parang nagiba to (pointing te sides of her nose and chin )" haha talaga ba? Anyway we weren't really planning to give her any party, The first plan was to just eat out and buy her a toy as a gift. I just can't understand why super big deal sa pinas ng seventh birthday noh...sabe ko nga sa sarili ko hindi ako magpapaapekto sa mga 7th birthday na yan...haha Ang mahal mahal, masyadong magastos ang magpaparty ngayon mga mamshies... pero 4 days before ...
