Finding Fitness and Fun

In the middle of 2024, I decided it was time to make a change. Life was getting busy, and I realized I wasn’t making enough time for my health. It wasn’t a New Year’s resolution or anything like that—just a mid-year wake-up call. As a mom, I know how easy it is to let self-care slip through the cracks. But this time, I was determined to turn things around. 

While searching for resources to help me stay on track, I stumbled across a site that ended up being a hidden gem: culinaryschools.org.

Camella: A Brand Rooted in Lifelong Dreams

Camella communities are built with amenities, like play parks, that foster lifelong connections. 

In 1977, a newly established gravel and sand company sparked a vision that would eventually transform it into a leading force in the national building sector.

As the company expanded into construction and property development, its ultimate mission emerged: to help every Filipino achieve the dream of homeownership. Leveraging its growing real estate operations, the company focused on turning these aspirations into reality, particularly for hardworking kababayans, including Overseas Filipinos (OFs)—the nation's unsung heroes.

The strategy evolved from building individual homes to developing entire housing communities, capitalizing on economies of scale and a network of construction experts and suppliers. This approach enabled the creation of cost-effective, high-quality homes. By offering homes with consistent designs and amenities, many Filipinos who once thought homeownership was unattainable saw their dreams come true. This innovation led to the establishment of Communities Philippines, which eventually grew into one of the country's most beloved and largest home builders, Camella.

‘Yan Ang Isip Bata! TANG Empowers Kids to Create a Better Tomorrow in Tang Kidnovator Camp

"Isip-bata" or "to think like a child".In our society, this phrase is frequently regarded in a negative light. It implies a lack of maturity, unreliability, and a shortage of experience. Regrettably, the majority of individuals, whether they are adults or children, have adopted and normalized this expression. As a result of this perspective, we have ingrained the belief that children are incapable of independent thought and achieving remarkable feats.

But kids are not like that.

Tips to Make Your Child's Hair Free of Lice and Smell Nice!

Summer days, summer lice!

It's Summertime! Undeniably, it is one of the most exciting seasons for children. It is the perfect opportunity for them to go on vacations, embark on outdoor escapades, spend quality time with friends, and create the most cherished childhood memories. Playing outside under the sun for hours with both old and new friends is undoubtedly an activity that creates the fondest memories. In addition, it builds a child’s confidence, communication, and social skills.

However, being exposed outdoors also poses harm to our children. In a study conducted by the Pediatric Infectious Diseases Society of the Philippines, over 54.7% of the population of primary school children are infested by head lice, or kuto – a tiny parasite that feeds off human blood from the scalp of its host, which renders no benefit but rather pure discomfort, irritability, hassle, and other more serious conditions such as skin infection.

With the goal to continuously raise awareness on head lice infestation issues and promote prevention, Lamoiyan Corporation, maker of Licealiz Head Lice Treatment Shampoo shares tips and hacks to equip moms on how to achieve a kuto-free summer with their kids!

Ham and Cheese Pizza Fries

Who doesn't love fries? Who doesn't love pizza? These two are definitely staples at home, whether as meals or snacks. Not a month goes by without us having both. Sometimes we order, sometimes we make our own.

So I thought to myself, "Why not combine them into one dish"? Yup, why choose between pizza and fries when you can have the best of both worlds? So, voila! I whipped up this delicious ham and cheese pizza fries! All it takes are some ingredients we already have at home, like our favorite pizza toppings, ham, and grated cheese, plus half a bag of frozen fries to replace the pizza dough - I used the frozen U.S. crinkle-cut fries.

I choose frozen potatoes from the U.S. over other frozen potatoes out there because of their premium quality. You can be sure that all the nutrients and delicious flavors of the potato have been locked in during the freezing process. With mandatory USDA grading standards in place, you don't have to worry about compromising on quality or taste.

Going back to the recipe, I love how it turned out to be the ultimate flavor combination: the crunch of the fries with the melty goodness of a cheesy pizza. So, preheat your oven and let's get started!

5 Family-Friendly Board Games to Play Online

My husband is a huge online gamer, so it comes as no surprise that my kids are too. Well, aside from the fact that everything has shifted online these days.

So my husband and kids would play online games together, a bonding between father and his children, which for me is a sight for sore eyes. But the thing is, I always feel left out whenever they play. You see, I am not an online gamer. Sure, I play some online games, but not what their games are like. So sometimes, I feel like I am the not-fun mom. Lol!

Gone are the days when the family would gather around the table and play offline games or board games, just like how my family used to. This is just a part of my childhood that I miss, which I hope to bring to life with my own family.

And the good thing is, I actually can! I can bring the old-good games back to life with a modern touch. I'm glad I stumbled upon https://www.calculators.org/games/ a website that offers a variety of fun games for kids and just about everyone. They even have board games that we can play as a family, yes with me actually playing with them. Lol!

How to budget for your dream family home

There is no place like home! And, I'm very grateful that we have a place we can call home and live comfortably, especially during the pandemic. But you see, it's not really ours. We've been living with my in-laws in a condo for a while now. They also have a family home, but we opt to live in a condo because of its many perks, such as its safety - 24/7 security and resort-style amenities that the kids can enjoy anytime. But, this pandemic has got us thinking about getting our own place. Of course, we've been dreaming about our perfect family home for years, but it's only now that we've given this some serious thought. We’ve even drawn up a few sketches of what we imagine it to look like.

But, you might be asking, "is buying a real estate property a sensible decision during the pandemic?" Well, my husband and I have been reading about it, and the answer is, yes! Why? Low-Interest Rates, Discounted Prices, and Flexible Payment Schemes In spite of several challenges impacting both global and local economies, the Philippine real estate sector had a good start this 2022.
