The Diary of Lizzie Bee

It was an awesome afternoon at Active Fun Bonifacio yesterday, as we celebrated Vita Cubes 2Good Fun Day! It was my first time to attend an event with Mommy Bloggers Philippines and met other seasoned and newbie bloggers just like me. Waldy, Yuri and I had so much fun going around the party, joined games, watched the magic show and ate a hearty merienda. It was made even better as we got to bring home lots of goodies from Vita Cubes and got a pass for an hour of play at Active Fun for free! Prior to the event, Izhi already introduced Vita Cubes to me as she started including it to her baon list. I never really paid attention to it since I thought it was just another candy she tasted from her classmate. What surprised me was that this cubed-shape jelly candies are fortified with essential vitamins and minerals that are important for growing kids. It’s more like giving vitamins hassle-free to our kids who most of the time don’t like the traditional medicine taste of vitami...

Every October, its Izhi and I’s tradition to plan for her Halloween costume. It’s just a bit different this time since her papa just got better from sickness and Yuri already started a mild fever with cough and colds, add the fact that we still don’t have a party to attend to. So it was a bit of a cram when Ate joy invited us to go to Pioneer St. Market’s very first Halloween party. Pioneer St. Market just opened last year and they are now a go-to place for all things gourmet such as pastas, burgers, fruit juices and organic fruits and vegetables that families can feast on. It was a fun-filled afternoon packed with family activities such as Pumpkin Carving contest, Best Family Costume, the traditional trick’r treating that the kids loved, face painting. There were parents activities that we also enjoyed like Toddler house classes, Breastfeeding classes, Pre-natal and Post-natal Exercise classes. I borrowed my Ate Joy's video of the event since we came a bit late....

It came as a surprise. Saturday, June 11 was supposed to be just another weekend for us, staying with ate Joy and her family. We attended an event in the morning when she told me to get ready because we are going to Tagaytay for an overnight. At first, I thought we would just be sharing a family room, since this "biglaang-lakad" was very unplanned. But then, the manager of the hotel that we heading to texted her that we would be in a separate room and that it is ready and apologized for the double room she was placing us. I'm like, " what? why is she apologizing? She's giving us a big favor and she's saying sorry? ". It was one of the greatest anniversary gift for Waldy and I. We've been to Tagaytay many times, but this was our first overnight stay! We were so excited to see the place, and boy it's amazing! View Park Hotel has one of the amazing view of Taal lake. Its not easy to find since the place sits just across Picnic Grove. I...

It took my sister, Ate Joy of www.occasionsofjoy.com long years to persuade me in creating and publishing my own blog. I created several  blog accounts before, but I quickly lost interest in updating it or not really posting anything at all. So this time, I told her I’d be serious and follow her footsteps. After all, she made herself quite famous by blogging just about anything that comes into her mind! Hehehe! At first, I wasn’t that interested since I was working and does not have the time to really sit down and write something. This time however,  I decided that I will start blogging to maximize my time and keep myself busy since I have stopped working and currently (and proudly!) a stay-at-home mommy since 2014. Finally last week, I attended global brand Lock&Lock, a leader in food container technology, as they declare June 2016 as their first “National Pa-baon Month”. As a mom, this is very applicable since I have a 5 th grader who brings her own baon to sc...
