Madali lang yan mga sisses..

1. off ang ref, daan sa palengke everyday from office and cook dishes that will last until the next day without necessarily putting them inside the ref for preservation.
2. Limit TV viewing. Educate the children what is educational and non-educational shows and train them to watch only the former also for a limited time only.
3. Limit aircon time, pampatulog lang sa kids. During day time, turuan mag paypay manually ang mga bata, para di sila masyadong umaasa sa electric fan at pindot lang ng pindot.

Mahaba pa dapat ang list tungkol dyan, but itong 3 na nabanggit ko ang talagang nakapagpababa ng electric bill namin substantially. Imagine, we used to have P2,000 bill average, at nung ginawa ko tong mga to, it was down to P450!  Medyo taxing nga lang yung pamamalengke araw-araw, but you have to, kung talagang sersoyo kang bumaba bill nyo.

Ang motivation ko kase is to think of the old days when electricity was not yet 24 hours (in our province). Naka-survive naman kami noon.. so bakit hindi ngayon? Basta kelangan lang ay strong will power to do so.

My 6years old daughter got HFMD last October. At first I thought it's tigdas hangin or infant roseola, but her pedia excluded it because according to her, it occurs only to babies up to 2 years old. Yes, HFMD is highly contagious and it will subside just naturally, but my daughter 's pedia just gave her medication to control the rashes and the virus. Good enough, di niya natawa yung 1year old baby brother niya.

Eh pano Kung he doesn't have the capacity to lead? Kc since from the start talaga namang you earn more than him? Of course reality tells you not to forego with your career simply because you want him to take the lead, di ba? Otherwise, magugutom pamilya nyo.

Mga mommies, existing pa rin ba ang Arugaan sa PIA til now?  And how much ba monthly fee sa  2 months old baby? Thanks in advance mga sis.

Mga sis, thanks so much sa insights ninyo. I'm having a hard time nga talaga in thinking what to do. Sinabi ko na rin kay ate na dapat I-consider din si baby dahil isasabay na nga lang binyag sa birthday niya, ayun, she changed her mind at gusto naman niya ngayon ay jungle theme... Ang siste, ako naman ang di kumbinsido kase 7th bday nga niya tapos jungle? Parang.. Pwede ba yun???  Heheh, kulit naming mag Ina noh, d magkasundo sa gusto

 help mga sisses... My eldest will turn 7 next year and we promised her to have a kiddie party. She wants Barbie as a theme. Problem is, we also want to  have the baptismal of our newest baby boy who will be 3 months old by then,  to be held simultaneously with his ate's 7th bday, para tipid sa gastos at pagod. I'm wondering if possible yun? Meron naman kayang theme na pang baby boy ang babagay na isabay sa Barbie?  Any suggestion? TIA!

I agree with mommy Pixelle, wag ka mag dwell dun sa mga negative about him. Walang maitutulong yun sa relasyon nyo at sa pamilya nyo. If you must know, mommy F, we were on d same boat before marriage. We are not rich, just a working class, but have d means than him and his family, modesty aside. Madami ding negative comments against him, but since mahal ko nga sya, pinaglaban ko sya. Now, ganun pa rin sitwasyon namin, I have d bigger share than him in our household needs since mas may capacity ako kesa sa kanya. BUT, I NEVER make it an issue. I admit there are times na pumapasok sa isip ko mga "what ifs" lalo na pag hard times talaga, pero lagi ko kino-control sarili ko, nireremind ko na it was my choice to be with him, so, nilalagay ko na lang ang focus ko not on his shortcomings but on the positive things that he contributes to our family, like yung pagiging hands on dad niya, pati domestic works kaya niya, at d sya nagkukulang sa pag intindi sa akin sa mga panahong napapansin nyang stress ako due to various roles in life.

Again, basta pray, pray and pray lang. Kaya nyo yan!
