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 [...]

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 [...]

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! One can never miss the presence of tricycles on [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
