A Box of Sweetness from TryingHard Minimalist Mom #MBPGiftSwap






Christmas is one of my favorite holiday of the year. For me it is the most wonderful time of the year in which it also has the longest preparation for every celebrations each year and most anticipated as well. But behind all the celebration, Christmas is the season of giving and sharing.

Every Christmas I only wished for one thing, and that is for our family to be complete and We can eat Noche Buena together which is very rare to happen. My husband works even on holidays and his work schedules is very unpredictable but we always ensure that before he goes to work on Christmas eve, we already have celebrated it together.

This year, I am very thankful for all the opportunities and blessings that I have received and for all the people that I met and became my friends.



Last week, a package addressed to my name arrived in my mom's address. I was so excited to open it, and to know who it came from, when I took the package, my heart fluttered and filled with joy to know that it came from my  #MBPGiftSwapPartner



I carefully opened the package and with my surprise it was a box of Ferrero Rocher  from Mommy Mel, author of  tryinghardminimalist.com.

This brightened my day and made me smile because I have been craving for chocolates and it also plays a great role in making our life sweet and also contributes for you to have a good night sleep, this is also one of my stress busters and comforts me when I feel down.

I also received an email from her telling me a little bit about their lovely family.

Mommy Mel just gave birth to her 2nd child and she's still on bedrest. I really appreciate her effort to send me a box of chocolate as a Christmas gift. She also loves and craves for sweets like chocolates but because of her condition she managed to refuse the temptation and gave up the privileges to eat and enjoy a box of Ferraro Rocher.


While I'm munching this yummy Ferrero from  mommy Mel. I decided to check and stalk at her blog. i was curious what is a minimalist ,how hard to be one and what lifestyle they have. And while I started to browse and check her old and new post. I found a lot of great tips and learned how to live a simple yet happy life.




Her blog, the Trying Hard Minimalist is a blog where they share their fondest memories and everyday life while trying hard to be a minimalist family. Mommy Mel also share some tips on how to simplify daily activities and enjoying life's simple joy.



We’re an ordinary family from Philippines and to be honest there’s really nothing special about us and with what we do but, we have a special and yet ambitious goal – to fully enjoy our lives together – by owning less, controlling our wants, keeping things around us simple, reducing waste, blessing more people and getting a really good night’s sleep with loads of hugs and cuddles.

Pagkatapos ng Dengvaxia incident maraming magulang ang natakot na pabakunahan ang mga anak ng libreng bakuna na inaalok ng DOH Health Centers.

Dengue is Real, Keep Your Child Safe with OFF! Lotion

Our Family is always our top priority. It was September of 2015 when my daughter was hospitalized and turned out to be positive for Dengue, as a mom I was so scared. Nurses always come in to our room every 6 hours to get blood sample from my daughter for them to monitor her platelet count.  It was an unpleasant sight for me to see my daughter in that condition at her young age. When my daughter cries due to the pain of needle inserted to her skin, it was a more painful scene and sound for me, wishing that all of what I see and hear are not real, it was really heart breaking. It was that same month in which Dengue case was really prominent and a lot of kids are being rushed to the same hospital to be treated, we stayed in the hospital for more than a week for my daughter's recovery and since then, I always said to my self "Never Again" that I will allow this to happen and was thankful to God that she guided my daughter Before our stay in the ho...
