Events Gather

Mother’s Day Weekend

Oh my Gosh.

I wish I could split myself up into 4 people and be in 4 (or maybe 6?) different places at the same time! There are so many fun things happening this weekend, and I don’t know how we are going to manage it all. I’m sure we will be ok…and we will have fun as a family doing it all (because that’s how we roll.)

First-there is POP up KIDS

 If you are curious-check out all of these brands (many who have Mommas at the helm) who will be participating in this awesome pop up.

 

Oh my. Next Saturday I will split myself into like four people. Then I will visit all the gatherings that are planned by my friends. And I will shop.

If you follow me on Instagram you would have already seen all the fun and practical finds from brands like Little Luli, Souq Organics, V & M, and Saya. If you do go-be sure to check out Heisl Paper Napkin Creations and look for Ingrid. She makes really pretty things.

Remember that cute little Owl Crate I posted back when I fixed Gellibean’s Nursery? Well, for those of you who remember-I picked that up from my friend Jenny over at My Mommyology. She and her friends Bea and Zharina make adorable furniture and personalized gifts over at Two Tots. I LOVE so many of their pieces and when Gelli moves into her Big Girl room in our new home, I am pretty sure I know where to find functional pieces that are well made…RIGHT HERE IN THE PHILIPPINES.

Anyway-Check out their sale over at Hanca. It will be really special because it’s Two Tots Birthday Celebration as well!

And just in case you don’t remember-here’s the photo with that cute Owl Crate that I love so much. I even won a second crate (after I purchased my first one from Jenny previously) at the Mom Pop Up a few months ago! Now-I have to buy the third to complete the set!

Gelli is very busy this morning on her phone. She was calling Doc Mc Stuffins when I snuck in to take a pic of her room.

And don’t forget that there are tons of celebrations that are happening all over the Metro for Mommas and their families. 

Stay tuned because I will be posting again for fun places to relax and treat mom, and spend time with the kids too.

Waterside @solaireresort’s BBQ Brunch Buffet has Waterside @solaireresort’s BBQ Brunch Buffet has all the southern fixings and more.

Grilled and smoked meats. Seafood and mixed drinks. Fried chicken and fish and chips. Starters include fresh salads, corn bread, nachos and more. But the kicker comes in the form of a Make Your Own Milkshake bar, and YES, you can order it spiked with your favorite liquor! 

Waterside is only one of quite a few restaurants that you can enjoy  beautiful weekend brunches with your favorite person, the fam bam, or your friends. 

Check out www.mommanmanila.com to see the full menu and what Nino and I enjoyed most.
Creating food together is one of our love language Creating food together is one of our love languages. We flow in the kitchen. I get excited and move too fast, and she grounds me, and slows things down. We can move around one another while still staying in sync. In our own kitchen, there is music that guides us and sets the tone for the meal. Gelli would be in the mix, the boys will set the table, someone makes dessert, and maybe @manila.gent  makes a drink. 

When we prepare our table together there is so much that goes into the process and the ingredients. This mindful movement brings me so much joy when we are all together.

Even more so when we attend classes together to learn new dishes too.  @themayakitchen1 has regular classes offering cooks of all abilities to learn something new when preparing meals for for our families.

Check out my new article on @rappler for @kitchen143 where Gia and I learned from Chef @cocoyventura a few new Pinoy dishes that will definitely be on rotation for #TeamGellibean.

Crispy Pata. Is there anything better than perfec Crispy Pata.

Is there anything better than perfectly brined crispy fried pork? 

@manila.gent and I visited @viicsrestaurantph for simple Pinoy fare that hit the spot. Admittedly, after moving here so many years ago, I took a while to warm up to this dish that is one of Nino’s (and my mom’s) favorites. But every once in a while-I won’t feel guilty about indulging in this deep fried treat.

Happy to learn that we can also order for when Mom arrives through @foodpanda_ph too!

Looking forward to bringing the family back soon!

Thinking about the day I got off the plane in LaGu Thinking about the day I got off the plane in LaGuardia, was picked up by one of my dearest friends and spent the entire day at the beach just catching up on LIFE.

It was a breezy day. Overcast. A little chilly to be in a suit, but it was perfect to catch up with my girl Candy. Sometimes, if you have chosen your friends well, you can pick up where you left off, as if no time has passed at all. 

Just like I did, sitting in that beach chair, feeling the mist of the Atlantic Ocean, and watching the seagulls pick and the seaweed.

Thank you Candy! For the friendship, for dropping everything to come and pick me up. Drive me around and have dinner with me and Fayth. 

Wishing I was sitting on this beach with you right now!!!
Eggs Benny with BBQ Pulled Pork was just one of ma Eggs Benny with BBQ Pulled Pork was just one of many dishes that we enjoyed during #SundayBrunch at Waterside in @solaireresort .

From cornbread, to mom’s potato salad, melt in your mouth whisky cured short ribs, homemade sausages and more. This #BrunchBuffet had @manila.gent and I rolling each other out the door!

Hard to choose which was our favorite from the feast that was set before us!

Brunch is inclusive of some delicious drinks, some Southern smoked and BBQ Fare, and a most colorful sweet dessert buffet by way of Milkshake Bar!

Missing my @migaventajado The short time I had w Missing my @migaventajado 

The short time I had with this guy in Florida was definitely something I will look back on. Wish we had more time to explore and do some fun things on our own.

Gah. How is this kid 20 years old already?
I remember when he was little and he loved peanut butter, chicken nuggets, Kylie Minogue, and sitting on my lap. He was squishy, in tune with my feelings, and I was always worried that he might have an asthma attack in his sleep so I would nebulize him every few hours. He always looked at new experiences with gratitude and wonder, much how he did while we were in FL together.😍

Praying he continues to strengthen his faith as he grows. 🙏🏻👨🏻🙌🏻

Miss you Miggy!
