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…

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!
I’ll be sharing a little bit about my faith toda I’ll be sharing a little bit about my faith today with some university students. 

I have shared my testimony with other mommas, women in our community, and parents through this platform and others. It’s always come naturally and has often ended in tears of gratitude and joy for His faithfulness and unending LOVE. 

Of course, sharing parts of myself with others who may find it helpful is a privilege. But for some reason, I am always just a little bit anxious and apprehensive right before I am about to present parts of my story.

Perhaps today, I’m anxious because the format for how I will share is a bit different, I won’t have the comforts I have gotten used to since working from home. Instead I’ll print some cue cards for myself so I can stay on task and within my given time period. 

I love the opportunity this endeavor has given me, to reflect on His presence in my life. He’s been there all along, even if I didn’t know it. I love the understanding that I can have these intimate conversations with my Creator knowing that He has plans for me. He loves me. He knows all the hairs on my head. And that He knows what I need to fulfill my purpose.

This doesn’t mean I won’t have challenges, or times when I feel broken in my life and faith. In fact, there have been many times where my faith has faltered. All of it just means that He is fortifying me through each and every lesson. He is allowing me to create a greater understanding of who I am, where I am supposed to be, and how He will get me there.

Do you share parts of your faith here?
What does that look like?
