I'm back!

-


I looked at my blog, raring to go back to writing.  The last entry was October 2014, where I announced we were pregnant.  It has been almost a year of absence.  I honestly kind of missed it.  So what happened after that announcement? Not that much except the fact that I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl.  Yeap, we finally have a girl!  (I think my husband prayed a lot. Lol.)

So here's me now, trying to back into writing.  I'll slowly update my site.  Maybe I'll try to write about how different this pregnancy was and how it was more difficult for me.  Maybe I'll write about the birthing class which we enrolled in.  Or about writing my birthing plan and planning VBAC.  We'll see.  I will find time (alongside taking care of hubby, kids, pumping and working.)  I promise.

On a final note I just want to say, "MOMS ARE REALLY SUPER HEROES!"

Ciao!

How do you discipline your children?

-
When I was younger, I vowed never to spank my kids nor to subject them to any physical punishment.  I just didn't think it would work.  I would see my friends being physically subjected to violence and I saw how they eventually rebelled against their parents. I knew this would only work if my husband-to-be would also agree on me on this point.  So I was very thankful when my husband  +Dante Valenzuela Jr.   also had the same view point as mine.  No spanking, no physical violence, no shouting (although this happens sometimes). Of course, when they were still young it was difficult to discipline them.  You cannot expect a 1 or 2 year old child to understand.  However, when they turned 3, it's easier for them to understand their mistakes and it's easier to make them understand. So how do we discipline them right now?  Whenever my kids do something wrong, I talk to them and point out what they did wrong.  I tell them calmly. Shouting d...

We're Almost 4!

Wow! I can't believe I last wrote on my blog on January 14.  It's been like more than 15 days since I last wrote.  So much for a blog a day, right? But I have been too busy lately with work (sigh) and this makes me terribly guilty of sometimes neglecting the twins. The twins' birthday are coming up.  We decided last year that we would just have a mini-party at home, a quiet family affair.  However, at the early part of this year, I had a change of heart.  Kids only celebrate their parties while they're young right? So this year, we're planning a  mini-party either at McDonalds ( At another branch, not the one at Abreeza.  If you've been following me, you'll know why .) or Jollibee with their friends and playmates.  Less adults, more kids.  That's what we're planning to do this year, invite kids (and of course, the adults that will accompany the kids.) Time indeed really flew so fast.  I can't even believe that they're both soon turni...

Little Kitchen Helper

I would like my kids to love cooking in the same way that they love eating.  I guess I want to instill in them the value of appreciating food- from the preparation stage down to when the food is about to be eaten.  So from time to time, I allow my kids to help me out in the kitchen.  Sometimes they whisk the eggs when we make pancakes, other times they help me mix my cup cake mix (they like this because they love tasting the uncooked mixture!), sometimes they add the salt, just about anything that they can do at their age. Just recently I came across an article which tells us the importance of letting kids help in the kitchen.  Here are the list of advantages:      1.  Understanding- allowing them to help in the kitchen gives kids an understanding of food.      2.  Connection- it also establishes and helps maintain family connection as you're helping out each other.      3.  Skills and Confidence- ...
