One Fine Date with My Little Kulit



Last week I took a leave from work because I will attend the wedding of my good friend Candice. Her wedding will be in Tagaytay 3pm, good thing My Little Kulit class was moved to 9am instead of 1030am, I can spend time with him pa.

They just have a swimming class, we arrived 9am and he saw Bella as usual they have playtime muna, it’s also distribution of their long quiz results and class standing.




After his swimming time, I asked him if we can go home, I need to prepare for the wedding pa but he insist for the shake shake fries, I told him drive thru na lang but no pa din sit daw kami, ang ending we spend another 30 minutes in Mcdo just to eat his favorite shake shake fries and chicken.




For 3 hours we just have a simple bonding, I bring him to the school, assist him in his swimming time and have a 30 minutes date in Mcdo.


 Being with My Little Kulit is the best time of my life

Mommy Anna Experience The GoodBox PH Meals




Healthy eating and a strict diet has never been easy for me especially I don’t eat vegetables and I am not fan of dieting. Ever since I have a chubby figure, which I still consider myself as a sexy one, people who are close to me use to call me “Anna sexy”.

My dad who keeps on telling me to have a healthy living, to eat vegetables, to exercise and be on diet as a person like me who is close minded and happy who I am, it is hard for me  to convince to be on diet.

Now that I am a mom, I realized that I need to be healthy for my son, I need to try to eat some healthy food, good thing I was one of the lucky mommy bloggers who were given a chance to have a one day experience of 1200kcalorie meal for one day from The GoodBox PH .

Last week I received one day full meal from The GoodBox PH, here is my complete meal for the next day.



 
For my breakfast I had Mixed Vegetables and Cheese Sandwich, coffee and a fruit. I just had a hard time to finish my sandwich since it has vegetables but the coffee taste good same with the fruits. I don’t know if psychological or I am just busy that morning, I don’t feel that I am starving in the next hours. It’s late for me to realize that I have Fresh Smoothie for my am snack.




Well it’s okay I have a late lunch, for my lunch I have Nutty Chicken Penne and a salad, which really taste good and this is my favorite meal 




For my PM snack I just had Oat cookies, which makes me hungry but still I need to be focus and just eat this one



And lastly for my dinner I had Tofu Tacos, vegetable sticks with dip. The veggie sticks with a dip taste good, the tofu tacos is just okay since I love tofu if it is fried.



Overall experience, I am happy what I had and happy that I was able to survive with my 1200 calories meal for one day. I just need to practice how to eat veggies.

How to Repair Broken Makeup from a Compact



In the middle of my busy day last Monday I accidentally drop my maybeline compact, I knew it’s already cracked since I experienced same incident last year.



Good thing I was able to watch in youtube few months ago how to repair a broken make up, you can watch it here

I immediately look for the things that I need to repair my compact, you need to have an alcohol, spatula or stirrer and a plastic.



Just follow these simple steps;
1.    Gather all of the broken pieces of makeup into its original container,

2.     Add a few drops of rubbing alcohol to the compact, and let it soak in. Use spatula or stirrer, mine I used my finger to rub and smooth down the makeup.  


3.    Once your makeup is all smooth again, all you have to do is wait and have it dry. 


Now I am still using the same compact J you can also use this steps for your broken blush, bronzer or eye shadow

How to be A Productive Mom on Weekends



As a working mom you have a lot of things do but you just have a little time as much as possible we really need to manage and maximize our time.

If you are a working mom, your job will not stop in your office, when you got home there is another one waiting for you, and on weekends my job is to be a full time mom and housewife.

I was not able to update my blog for a long time since I have a little time in my busy world.

Let me give you random things that I have done in the past few weeks;

1.     My weekly grocery
2.     Need to attend My Little Kulit school program
3.     Need to review My Little Kulit for his two days Long quiz
4.    Change curtains
5.     General cleaning
6.    Family Gathering
7.     Events
8.    Arrange closet and toys
9.    Spend quality time with hubby
10.  Manage small business
11.   Stocky inventory
12.   Hair rebond and treatment
13.   Office activity
14.  Out of town
15.   Sunday mass


As far as I remember yan mga yan but may mga side errands pa yan, well time management is very important and FOCUS on our daily task

Here are some tips how to be a productive  mom on weekends, which I learned from my own experience :-)


1.     Plan ahead of time- if you are planning to have a weekend out of town with your family, plan ahead of time.  Make an itinerary for your convenience.

2.     Schedule- Stick on your schedule, if you have a calendar in your office, you also need to have a family calendar, so that you can maximize your mommy duties. Plot your schedule accordingly. As much as possible if you can bring your kid with in your errands is much better, so you can spend quality  time with them

3.     Quality time with your kids- as much as possible think an activity that you can spend  time together. Or just have a mommy date. For us once a month or twice a month I make it assure that we must have a mommy and cham cham date.

4.    Make a list or a goal- Have a list or a goal for your family. Writing down our goal helps us to have something what we are working for.

5.     Go on a date with your partner- This is so important especially if you already have kids. You need to have time to your partner also and give them importance. Time away from the kids is good in your relationship.

6.    Me time- Time for yourself is important as well. Sometimes we as moms forget to take care of ourselves because we are taking care of the kids, manage the house, taking care of hubby, and office work all day. It's important to set aside time for yourself, you need to re charge your energy.
