The Kitchen Mom by dhess

As a mom, one of my responsibility is to budget our finances, I also make sure that I get great deals for what I buy. Even on a tight budget, I know I can still extend the value of my hard earned money. From personal things to household items, I always make sure that it will not compromise our daily budget.

I had a habit of going online to check for places or websites that offer great deals. Then I was able to see Groupon, a well-known website that offer great deals starting from your favorite restaurants, hotels, stores, establishments and most services. It's good to check this Groupon if you are planning to visit the new restaurant just across the street or if you are planning to buy an early gift for birthdays or weddings, this will also be perfect for the holidays season. not only that you will save money but you will also have wide options to choose from.



I love Groupon Coupon because you can save a lot of money by using their coupon. Groupon has 88,830 free coupons at 12,23…

Are you the kind of parent that can't concentrate when your child is in school or in other places? Being over protective has a positive and negative impact in our child developmental and growth.

Me, as a mother of a 5 years old who already started going to school I'm always worried about her safety. Most of the time I become over protective to her, which I think is normal for all moms out there especially we read and hear a lot of negative events in the news.

Kids nowadays love to explore and discover new things on their own, but as mothers, we also wanted to make sure that they will be responsible for their actions at an early age. Allowing them to play outside is one of the best things during childhood. Making new friends and playing with them will enhance their social ability. Worrying has always been a part of being a parent, we are afraid that our kids may get hurt or lost.


 Now we can now breathe and leave all the worries. We can let our kids play and enjoy their time as…

Are you a coffee lover like me? As a stay home mom, I usually wake up around 6:00 in the morning. The first thing I do is go straight to the kitchen, get my favorite mug and prepare my favorite 3 in 1 coffee, do I need to name the brand? maybe I'll just keep it secret.
Being a coffee lover for almost a decade now. I noticed that I always suffer from acid reflux and palpitation but I just ignored it since every time I drink my favorite brand of coffee I feel so energized. Few weeks ago, I was sick. I have difficulty in breathing and I'm having a hard time to burp. The doctor advised me to stop drinking coffee. I said to myself " can I really make it each day without taking or drinking my favorite cup of coffee?' I feel like " I'm doomed "

But I guess there's always a solution for every problem. Last week, I attended a product launch of this new caffeine free drink, Barlico which is made from Barley. Barley is well known to have a lot of health benefi…

I decided to go to Vivere Salon in Festival Mall Alabang and have a new hair color and some "Me time".As a mom, I also need to allot time for my self and have some pampering, this also boosts our confidence and self-esteem.
