I’d like to introduce the youngest member of our family here on mom cafe. Meet Zoe. I finally gave in, after three years of begging from my kids and husband. We were at the mall one Saturday and there she is… on a crib staring at me like telling me she’s the one. It didn’t take a lot of convincing since I just fell in love with her instantly. ...

My family and I have decided to have the spring break in Texas last week — roadtrip style! One thousand three hundred miles from here was a very long and tiring trip. If I had my way, I would definitely fly. But my husband insisted on driving. It turned out to be fun, after all. We stayed with my husband’s relatives in Sugarland, a suburb of Houston. ...

When I wrote about It’s Official – I Have OCD, that was from my own perspective. How would it look like if my husband were to write the same post? He would say I definitely have OCD (this time, he really meant Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) because: I can’t sleep in hotel beds without putting my own sheets on top of it. My barefeet can’t stand ...

Gizelle, my 5 year old daughter went home yesterday and surprised us with her “Super Star Student Of The Week” sticker award and certificate that she got from school. We were of course very proud of our little one. She was the outspoken, extrovert one and we didn’t quite know what to expect from her yet since she’s still very young but it seems ...

If there are two things that me and hubby enjoy doing together, they would be sleeping and eating. That’s why last Saturday, when we suddenly craved for some good seafood dinner after spending the entire day watching movies, we reluctantly dragged our butts to Todai, a Japanese seafood buffet. This, my hot moms, is what I ate — twice! Yeah, my kids watch ...

So yesterday, we’ve decided to make cleaning the house a fun fitness family activity for us. Kids did the dusting, I did the vaccuuming, and dad did the steam mopping. Oh, not to forget, Zoe, our pug, was also doing her share by eating the crumbs under the table! I love vaccuuming. I sweat like crazy everytime I do that. I get a good workout AND I ...

It’s summer and my kids are officially out of school. Though I love for them to be here at home and just relax and recharge, I am dreading the fact that they will just be bored to death, watch tv, raid my pantry and whine all day long. I have to find a way to keep them busy, entertained, and away from the tv and pantry for as long as I can. Some “all-knowing” ...

Today it’s my oldest daughters 8th birthday. Eight years ago today I set forth on the amazing journey that I like to call Mommydom. She is the most amazing of little girls and I’m so blessed. Because it’s her birthday I’m going to take a moment to gush over my beautiful daughter. Not only is she beautiful with red hair and freckles but she’s kind. ...

My favorite thing about gmail is that when I’m reading an email that’s bizarre in it’s composition I get these wonderful suggestions from Google. Tonight as I was corresponding with a couple friends about the sarcastic sense of humor that my 7 year old has I noticed a link in my gmail for the children’s book, “Why Mommy is a Democrat”. So if ...
