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.

How to get a PSA birth certificate online



How was your kids' first day of back to school, mommies? Tristan's been attending his blended class for almost a month now, while Athena and Brianna's first day is next week. Yep, they don't go to the same school anymore, hence the different schedule.

I transferred Tristan to a new school that caters to his special condition. The enrolment process was easy and done online. But, they required some documents, including his birth certificate. However, due to unfortunate events (intentionally used this as Tristan's favorite TV series is "The Series of Unfortunate Events" lol), his and his sister's birth certificates got torn out. So, I have to get them new ones.

Oh, I remember the last time I got our certificates. I had to go to the PSA office and go through the traffic, the heat, the queue, and the waiting time. And, as the mom that I am, I try to restrict my time spent out to avoid all those things, especially given the fact that COVID-19 is still around. So if I could, I'd do everything online.And I am glad to know that I can actually request PSA certificates online and have them delivered to my home!

How about you? Did you know you can get a copy of your birth certificate or any certificate and CENOMAR online? It's true, and it's pretty easy to do via PSAHelpline.ph. I just got ours! Yay! So in this blog, I'll walk you through the easy steps to getting your PSA birth certificate online. So keep reading!
