Mommy Pehpot shares 5 Laking Lamang nutrition hacks for your kids All-Around Development!

What do married men want for Valentine’s?

The typical Valentine’s day includes flowers, chocolates, teddy bears, heartfelt love letters and surprises – all efforts were mostly from a man, given to a very lucky woman. On the contrary, in Korea, women are the ones giving chocolates to men as a sign of love. Traditionally, men that receive these gifts will then give a gift in return on the following month to which they call “White Day”. This is a perfect way to let your man know that they too are indeed important on Valentine’s day. This year, I decided to mimic this Korean tradition and asked married men on what they want to receive for Valentine’s day. Here’s what they had to say: #8. Stove, cook set, tarp, sleeping pad – This sporty hubby is always on the go and is into mountain climbing. He and his wife always make sure to climb mountains at least once a month. Nothing is more blissful than awesome mountaineering stuff while enjoying the stars with your loved one. #7. Crafting supplies – This daddy is into ha

Making reunions REAL again

Filipinos are all about family. The mandatory family reunion happens not just once or twice a year, but every chance possible. From Birthdays to graduations all the way to the grand Christmas reunion, family gatherings are always filled with food, catching up, and loads of wholesome family fun. Lately, we’ve seen many changes in traditional family dynamics — from a simple meal to dance numbers by the grandkids. Families are reaching out to friends and relatives abroad through technology. While technology can be used to connect people, it can also become a wall between family members. How many times have you walked into a room and you are ignored by everyone hooked on their gadgets? This is the reality that has become the new norm. The simple act of truly connecting has become a valuable commodity that needs to be safeguarded by everyone in the family. This Holiday season, a brand has decided to take action to advocate for real connections. It’s not asking you to completely
