Weekend Activities in Metro Manila August 14-16

This weekend, my friend Patty and I will be hosting our second #Crafternoonsph with Anina Rubio. She came down south earlier this year to teach a quick class on Calligraphy and Lettering. It was a well attended class and Anina was so super easy to work with that we asked her to come and teach us again.

This class is full already, but, we do hope to sign up some more classes with Anina so that we can further our lettering skills. So, be on the look out and check our Crafternoonsph Facebook page for upcoming workshops.

  
For this class, we partnered with Draft in Molito, so it’s still very accessible to those of us who live near by. As we partner with different teachers, we aim to highlight different restaurants and businesses in the area so each workshop will have a different feel. As many of you already know, I love anything happening here in the south because that means we don’t have to travel as far…so we love that we have such qualified teachers who are willing to come this far to teach us.

Here’s a line up of some other weekend activities in Metro Manila:

You know Mommy Mundo knows what we need when we are raising up our kiddos. 

Janice Villanueva has been doing this for years. She brings together all the brands that we know, we love and that we have been searching high and low for, under one roof. She makes it easy for us when we are pregnant and searching for support, or when we are nursing and looking for (other kinds of support) attractive nursing gear, and she keeps our kiddos dressed well, and even entertained while we shop. 

Now she’s making it even easier for us to shop by having the clearance sale of all the brands we are familiar with a well!

I saw pics from last year and it looked like a pretty amazing sale…

Now, if only I could find time to go this weekend in between our move and family photo shoot…

I saw this bazaar in my Facebook feed an thought it looked like it might have some vendors that y’all might like. Then I took a closer look at their page and realized that you will DEFINITELY like some of their vendors!

Here’s a quick list lifted from their FB post:

Gastro Chef + Real Girl, Toy Kitchen + C & J Gourmet Foods + Café Lulu + Casa Carmela + The Food Bin + Honeystix +THC + Bee Healthy + Delicioso + Hydration Nation + Menaggio + Milvidas + Victoria Marin + Mobler + Eastern Gem Corp + Goods of Desire + GDN + Austolia Jewelry Arts + Majen + What If Handmade + Alchemista + NC Filmade Corp + Mommy’s Closet + Affordable Acquisitions + Bath & Buddy + Accentuations Enterprises Inc. + Vida Lim + Pintadas DIY + Decoratura + Zentiments + Tru + Curly Grain + Sugar Plum Lifestyle + Moda Burda Garments + Bug & Kelly + Tawid Silver + T COLLECTION + Gourmet Corner + Euro Fine Foods Specialist + Board It Up + Make My Day + CMBV Confectionaries Co. + Pottly N Tubby + Rijo Home Décor Ceramic + Malcoms Burgers + Corn Star

 

You can check them out starting Friday, August 14, from 9:00am to 8:00pm and also Saturday, August 15 from 9:00am to 4:00pm at the Dasmarinas Village Pavillon, Campanilla Street, Dasmarinas Village, Makati City.

Any time The Mind Museum has something special I just have to share it. Whenever it comes to education, I always feel it’s up to us to entice our children to learn more while still having fun. Science and Technology was always fun for me, especially when it was presented in ways that made it even easier to understand the concepts. Check out this upcoming two part workshop that starts this Sunday.

 

I first met the mommas behind The Parenting Emporium when I gave birth to Gelli. About four years ago (her birthday is coming up) I gave birth and my baby couldn’t direct breastfeed right away. In fact, I wasn’t able to put her to my breast until 9 days after she was born because she was healing from surgery. These mommas helped me through, fit me for my pump, and encouraged me on the challenging road that I was on.

Now these mommas have put together a place where mommas can do even more and learn from one another in the process. Check out the classes that they have going on this weekend. Surely, you can find one that works for you.

To register for any of the classes just text or call 09187-811-0821  

I have met these two ladies through the blogging community and I know them to be the greatest of friends. I for one, can appreciate the joy you find in working and doing something you love…and then working, doing something you love, and doing it with a friend! I can only imagine how much fun this Beauty Workshop will be with these two lovely ladies.

I know they have a ton of treats in store for everyone who will attended as well as some pretty big raffle prizes too!

My weekend will be quite full. We have family coming in from NY. We have our family photo shoot scheduled and our send off for out girls who will be playing this year for the UAAP volleyball team for DLSZ. We will manage all of these things while also beginning to move houses. But, if it’s anything I have noticed, I realized that I’m just a little more efficient when I have more things to do…it actually forces me to manage my time more effectively.

Wishing y’all a great weekend. Make sure you find time to rest. It’s what helps us attack the work week ahead…

I have always been intimidated by Cornish Hens. Th I have always been intimidated by Cornish Hens. Through this learning exercise with @usapeecphl, I have learned a bit more about these little birds that have bigger breast parts, and thank you Chef @ivoryyat for showing me how easy it is to prepare Greek Lemon Roasted Cornish Hens with Roasted Potatoes.
 
Clean and fresh flavors are perfect for these smaller birds that are rich in protein with zero carbs. Try the recipe in the comments section. I’m sure you’d enjoy it as much as I did!
 
Interested in U.S. Cornish Hens? You can buy them in stores near you. #CornishHen #USCornishHen #PoultryPerfection #CookingWithUSPoultry #USPoultry #USAPEECPHL #ad
@gi.aventajado and I played with some of the @pura @gi.aventajado and I played with some of the @puratosph products that they sent over the other day. Ready to use Bavarian Cream made these Cream Puffs easier than ever. I think we have to figure out how to temper our couverture better…

@mommymundo always has a way of bringing together @mommymundo always has a way of bringing together just what we need, no matter the time of year. Loving these photos of my first boy that were snapped @expomom.

Anyone else thinking about #HolidayPhotos? I am not one of those moms that has it all together before Christmas. It’s usually a mad dash for us at the end of the year, but if it’s anything that the past few years has taught me, it’s that the little things are what makes the Christmas special.

Many of us haven’t been together with the extended family or even our immediate family in so long. That means it’s the perfect time to document.

@nextbymetrophoto will be hosting one last Christmas Marathon family photo shoot before the end of year. Check them out or shoot them a message. They have some cute set-ups.
****GIVEAWAY ALERT*** 10 things I LOVE about @sed ****GIVEAWAY ALERT***

10 things I LOVE about @sedahotels listed here and on FB!

1. Each property has a Signature Dish. If you can’t make it to Bacolod, you can still enjoy Chicken Inasal in any of their properties.

2. Clean Design. So easy to work and play in a space that is light, modern, and clean in design. 

3. Beautiful views. Every chance I got, I would sit outside at @straightupatseda. 

4. Spacious Rooms and Residence Stays. Staying in the Three Bedroom Premier was perfect for our family. 

5. Attentive Service. Everyone was pleasant and accommodating.

6. Centrally Located. If you are thinking of fun things to do in Makati and want a home base, Seda Residences Makati is near a few of the museums, parks, and malls.

7. Work with ease. Internet service is uninterrupted. Meeting rooms are available and easy to book.

8. Relax and Play. From mid-day tubbies with Gelli to, taking advantage of the pool, or the children’s room, the little girl had more than enough things to keep her busy!

9. #FamilyTime. Spending an extended amount of time outside our own space led to laughter, fun conversations, and opportunities to try new things. We were comfortable and rested in the space we were in, which meant more opportunities for us to connect.

10. Homegrown with a Purpose. A Filipino brand that understands the importance of both work and travel, each property is important to the city & province location. Environmentally aware by adopting Mayumi, a Philippine Bald Eagle. 🦅

@kitchen143 is something I really do love. Sharing a little bit of my kitchen with viewers and followers brings me joy. Even better when I get to work with chefs whom I can learn from and friends who like to spend time in the kitchen too!

Is there anything better than a stuffed turkey at Is there anything better than a stuffed turkey at this time of year? Whole turkeys require serious commitment to cook. #IYKYK But because U.S. Poultry is now available here in the Philippines, that also means preparing turkey is a tad bit easier.
 
Frozen U.S. turkey products are available and ready to cook for people who want to dabble with flavors for this bigger bird but aren't sure how.
 
Thank you to Chef @ivoryyat for putting together a medley of my favorite fall flavors. This combination of apples, sweet potatoes, and maple syrup perfectly compliment  the roasted turkey leg and remind me of flavors and scenes from back in New York. 
 
@usapeecphl l has the highest standards that follow USDA requirements which are certified safe before shipping to the Philippines. Get them in stores near you.
