I am Clarice

I found this online and really liked it. Thought it’s worth sharing: A Four-fold Franciscan Blessing by Sr. Ruth Fox, OSB (1985) May God bless you with a restless discomfort about easy answers, half-truths and superficial relationships, so that you may seek truth boldly and love deep within your heart. May God bless you with [...]

Jenny of Chronicles of a Nursing Mom approached us about organizing a cloth diapering meet. Of course we said yes. This is our advocacy and we really want to encourage moms to cloth diaper. Just thinking of how many moms (and babies) this meet can help makes us giddy with excitement! The Cloth Diapers 101 [...]

And we did it! Our website is finally up! Please do visit (and browse and shop! LOL!) our (with Abie) newest baby – tickled moms lavishing your world with giggles! I so love our store. Our primary aim is to make cloth diapering, babywearing, and breastfeeding easier and available to all moms. I am also [...]

I know, I know… But I really have been very busy. You see, my friend Abie and I are putting up a new business. That’s what’s been occupying my time for the past two months. It’s almost ready though and we’ll be launching our website soon. Hay! I’m so happy and we are so proud [...]

A year ago, I subscribed to MightyBookJr. using a coupon code shared by Rheea of Rainy Days and Mom Days (oh, I find her blog title super witty!). This morning when I was trying to login, I realized that our membership had already expired! I was saddened because Jia has been looking forward to listening [...]

J and I watched The Vow this evening. It was such a romantic and inspiring movie. It is about “moments of impact and how they change our lives forever.” I was crying on J’s arms during the wedding scene . I super love their vows and their art gallery wedding with only their closest friends [...]

When Jia was a little girl, one of my brides gave her a pair of silver maryjanes Pediped. I super loved it! The soles were so soft and it was soooo cute! My only problem was it had no traction because its outer sole was made of soft leather. Nevertheless, I loved it. I loved [...]

I am at Banapple right now, waiting for Jia’s class to finish. Yup, you read that right – Jia’s class. It is her first day of trial class today and although this is just for three days, I find myself tearing up thinking how my baby has grown. I have been preparing her since last [...]

The past few weeks have been a blur! Before I knew it, it’s been weeks since I’ve posted. On the home front, we’re adjusting to the new yaya and I am trying to spend more time with Jia. J’s having the pond reconstructed (koi addict!) so it’s been so dusty here. I can’t wait for [...]

A conversation at 12:03am today, February 17, the anniversary of our 11th year together: Me: Hon!!! Ano na? J: Anong ano na? Me: Ano na? J: Alas dose na. Me: So, ano na? J: Biyernes na. M: So, ano na nga? *lighted pa ang mukha ko nito* J: Biyernes na nga. Me: *okay* Anong date [...]
