An Afternoon in Nuvali

Filed under: Family, Fun Times, Yohan's Corner — Tags: , , — rachel @ 5:38 pm

I went to Nuvali Sta. Rosa with my family yesterday.  It was an opportunity to celebrate because my husband recently graduated with distinction in Culinary school and my son just finished his final exams.

It was a nice, sunny Friday afternoon. The first thing we did was feed the koi in the man-made pond. Yohan had so much fun feeding the koi.  We also had a short boat ride around the lake. Then we stopped for some delicious snacks at Conti’s.

Baking is Fun

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us Baking is an activity that my family enjoys. It’s always a perfect opportunity to bond with one another. Today we had a wonderful time baking Nutella cupcakes and blueberry cupcakes. Making them was fun and eating them was a great reward for our efforts.

I value the importance of good health. Yesterday my hubby, son and I had our respective flu shots. It feels good to know that my family is protected from the threat of common flu.

Happy Mother’s Day

Filed under: Family, Special occasions — Tags: — rachel @ 4:09 pm

Hope you had a memorable Mother’s Day. I was touched when hubby surprised me with a bouquet of flowers and a tub of Chocolate Truffles ice-cream that I have been craving for several days now.  Hubby had culinary class the whole day but I was so glad when he came home with sweet surprises. My son also gave me a lovely Mother’s Day drawing.

Family Grocery Time

Filed under: Family, Fun Times, Info Corner — Tags: , — rachel @ 6:18 pm

I like doing the groceries. For me it’s not a chore but a regular activity that I enjoy.  In fact, I look forward to going to the grocery. It has even become a nice family routine.  There was even a time when my son would get one of those cute, mini grocery carts so he could enjoy doing the grocery with me. He would get his milk and snacks and load them on his mini cart while I take care of the essential and incontinence supplies.  Sadly, the supermarket we go to have removed those mini carts. My son just helps me push the big grocery cart.

Beach Time

Filed under: Family, Fun Times — Tags: , — rachel @ 5:58 pm

The two days we spent at the beach was great. It’s nice to get away from the normal everyday routine and have fun with the family.  I love relaxing by the sandy beach and watching my son make sandcastles. I also enjoy snorkeling with my husband.  The sea is a beautiful place and there are so many amazing things to see.  It’s rewarding to see all those beautiful fish and live corals.
