My Rocking Cradle

Happy New Year everyone!

A road trip last December 26 brought us to Gabaldon, Nueva Ecija. It was spontaneous… we huddled the kids into two SUVs and off we traversed the long road to… wherever. We didn’t know where to stop or where to spend the afternoon. We just wanted to bond and enjoy the holidays in a different milieu.
The [...]

We spent the afternoon of December 26 on a road trip… embraced the scenery going to Gabaldon and found a relaxing spot in Dupingan River…
… inspired by the photo, I found a perfect poem. 
Maid of the River by Lovefool Aka
The river meanders
Gracefully passing
Tempting with promise
Calling to me
Beckoning me to dive on in
The river glistens
The riverbanks swell
The river [...]

In Cabanatuan City, tricycles rule!
Tricycles are three-wheeled vehicles that are commonly seen in Philippine provinces. These vehicles take routes that cannot be penetrated by the big jeepneys, at least that’s what I thought. In Cabanatuan City, it’s a different story. Tricycles are the kings of the road!

With a large family like ours, gifts under the Christmas tree couldn’t be lesser than this:
 
 Little Dynamo received gifts from all the titos and the titas and of course, the lolo and the lola. He had been asking for his own laptop, so Hubby and I got him his own V-tech learning laptop which he received with [...]

Christmas carollers who go from houses to houses enliven the Christmas season. 
Check this out:

I am into co-sleeping. Little Dynamo is so lucky to be sleeping with us to this day (others might have a contrary opinion… LOL). I would have wanted my Baby Dynamo to be sleeping with us on the bed, too. In fact, I put off buying a crib until he was already born and I [...]

Do you use cloth diapers or disposable diapers?
I have a bias against disposable diapers because my Mom favors cloth diapers. I just held on to my Mom’s opinion on the matter. And so, Little Dynamo had cloth diapers until he was about four months old. I had him use disposable diapers only when we go [...]

Math was not my favorite subject back in school. If I had Math help back then, it would have been different. Maybe.
Students are lucky these days. They could get help anytime by just typing on their keyboards. There is an Online Math tutoring website called Tutor Vista which could be accessed anytime. Tutors are available whenever [...]

I am an advocate of breastfeeding.
I breastfed Little Dynamo for eighteen months. I would have wanted it to be for a full two year period but he painlessly, and without effort, totally weaned out three days before he turned eighteen months old.
I am on a breastfeeding frenzy again with Baby Dynamo. I hope to do this [...]
