Again, the premier lifestyle events for all moms out there is happening again this year. Calling all moms in the country, the first edition for this year is slated on April 6-7 at Rockwell Tent. I always look forward in attending this expo as it is trade expo, all-day workshop, shopping destination, mommy party, family occasion, mompreneur lab, all rolled into one! Too bad, I will miss it this year because of a family trip. But I am happy that two of my online friends are joining the expo and will have a combined booth together.

My favorite seller for my girls hair trinkets like bows, headbands and clips – Dainty Ashley will be there. She will be joined my favorite clay artist – The Clay Craft Studio.

Check out in advance what these sellers have yet to offer for the coming Expo Mom 2013 and try to list down already what you intend to buy from them. Love their products!

IHOP Restaurant in BHS

Jody — Sat, 16 Mar 2013 06:50:07 +0000

Finally, we were able to try IHOP Restaurant in Bonifacio High Street. This new joint opened very recently and has always been full everyday. As I have seen in pictures in Instagram and Facebook, lines can even reach outside. Luckily, when we tried it last friday, we were just 3rd in waiting line. So we proceeded. I have already psyched myself that we might not be able to eat there but I was happy when there was no line at all. Probably because it was around 130pm. So we had a late lunch. It was my lunch date with my kiddos as it was their last day.

IHOP Restaurant is one of their favorite restaurants whenever we are in the US. So my kids of course ordered their favorite cheese omelets, mac ‘n cheese and of course pancakes. I have to try the chicken burrito and it was good. Surprisingly, the prices of their meals are not bad. I just noticed that servings are lesser compared to US. Well, they have to match of course the Filipino appetite and also plate it accordingly to price.

Glad there are options for more new restaurants now.

Customized hangers

So before I offer buy boss loop station for our events which most of the DJ’s we hire need, let me offer first the customized hangers we do. These customized hangers are perfect as gifts for brides and even female entourage. We need at least a month of lead time as these are handcrafted. The colors can be customized too from light to dark wood. The color of the wires can be in gold, silver or any other colors that the client may prefer. Do send us an email in our website should you be interested.

Summer Lessons

Jody — Tue, 19 Feb 2013 15:38:06 +0000

So it’s Summer once again. What are your plans for summer classes for your kids? I am trying to decide already what will my girls take this coming season. I am thinking our first born will continue with her piano lessons as she’s doing very good with it. Then our 2nd daughter might take guitar lessons instead. Looking at Gemini brand for her but I am wondering if they do have something like a beginner’s guitar. I’m pretty sure, our little boy will take drums lesson when his time comes. So we are actually going to have one full-band in the future.

It’s a safe!

Isn’t it the cutest? These were used as ring and coin holders in one of the weddings we organized. These were in lieu of the usual pillows that the bearers will carry while walking down the aisle. Well, one of the guests was even kidding that it uses thermoplastic machine handles. These were carried by two cute boys wearing a suit with their sunglasses. So adorable. There are just so many new trends nowadays for events especially weddings. It’s really fun to be on this industry.

Entrepreneur Kids

Jody — Tue, 12 Feb 2013 02:31:48 +0000

I have yet to make another post about how my kids are having this entrepreneurial spirit but I just can’t help but share the picture above. My girls are play-pretending to have a salon and spa in their bedroom. Their usual clients are our housemaids and their yaya. They are just so fun to look at. They even posted before their rates for their services. I would normally leave some loose change to the maids so during late afternoons, they will actually avail of the services of the kids. It makes them happy when someone is patronizing their salon and spa services and they are always giddy excited to tell me all about it when I arrive from my meetings on the evening. They will tell me how much they exactly earned.

Should you be interested to avail, here are their rates! Lol!

A Beach Wedding

Jody — Sun, 10 Feb 2013 02:25:18 +0000

Last week, we organized a beautiful wedding set on the suburbs with a beach front. I have always love destination weddings especially those intimate ones. It is always a picture-perfect sight to behold while the bride walks down the aisle with the beach as her backdrop. The couple’s pictorial would always be magical. And even a simple floral arrangement will make the place lovelier. Just like the simple mums I am setting up on aisle on this picture.

We were also assigned to even make sure patio cushion seating are in place.

Ola!

Jody — Thu, 07 Feb 2013 03:10:06 +0000

Ola! It’s already 2013 and I have not been blogging since late last year. Work is really pretty busy so no time to post. I even got sick last week that makes me go to visit a doctor. Stressed at its peak so I was asked to even be under holter monitor to check my heart rate. It turns out to be I’m just too tired from all the events we have been handling. My schedule will somehow normalize already by end of February so I hope I can really manage to rest up a bit. It seems like I really didn’t have a maternity leave as I went back to work after 2 weeks of giving birth. By the way, my little boy is almost 4 months now! Yes, I gave birth already and didn’t even have a chance to blog about it Hope things will get back to normal soon. Wish me luck!

Gifts to classmates…

Jody — Thu, 27 Dec 2012 02:19:38 +0000

Thanks to online friends, Christmas shopping became so easy. I don’t even have to look for fast yard sign printing since a friend also does personalized tags and stationary. My daughter gave out beautiful headbands to all her classmates that are matching to their school uniform of ecru and dark green. There is also a personalized Christmas tag attached to it. See below…

Then my girls got their new head pieces as well.

These are all from Dainty Ashley and Embellished Designs

New arm candies…

Jody — Sat, 15 Dec 2012 03:30:43 +0000

These are my new arm candies. I ordered again from Envy Fashion Accessories (check them in FB) this camel leather bracelet. I love all their goodies. They sell real authentic leather bracelets. My Michael Kors two-tone watch came in as well in time for the holidays. I love the big face of this watch. It is two-town silver and rose gold. Isn’t it lovely?
