Christmas Candy Jars

09.26.2015 by Leah // 7 Comments

It's gonna be October in a few days and I have not even started with my Christmas list yet!  But I have a good idea already of what to give as Christmas giveaways this year: glass jars filled with Christmas-themed candies.  I like the idea of giving something reusable and filled with sweet treats! How about these as inspirations? Here's another version of ... READ MORE

Our Do-It-Yourself (DIY) Ice Cream Party

08.23.2013 by Leah // 5 Comments

I had so much fun with our DIY tea party at home last year - the preparations and all - so I promised myself I'll do another small party this year.  My good friend (and also my kumare), Chel, suggested that we hold an Ice Cream Party at home.  That was some months ago but we were able to finalize the date only last July during our trip to Gourmet Farms.  The ice cream party was ...

Crafty Gift Wrap

04.26.2013 by Leah // 4 Comments

Just sharing with you this little craft project I did last week: DIY wrapping paper that I used to wrap some birthday gifts. I used a pattern paper as the 'wrapping paper', which I got from National Bookstore (only P19.75 for 5 sheets).  I like the paper because it's smooth, durable and easy to work with stamp (the ink dries out easily). This is also my first time to ... READ MORE

Easter Eggs Chocolate Lollipops

03.31.2013 by Leah // 5 Comments

Happy Easter! I'm sure a lot of families will be trooping to the malls and hotels today after the traditional Easter Sunday Mass for the Easter Egg Hunt.   Here at home, we just had a mini-Easter activity for my nephew, Liam, which is Egg Painting.   He loves to paint and he totally enjoyed that one (never mind if the hard-boiled eggs cracked in the end, having fallen off ...

Shopping Bags and Wrapping Ideas

12.02.2012 by Leah // 1 Comment

One day I was cleaning our storage cabinets and found a number of shopping bags that have been stored away, forgotten. Then an idea hit me.  Why not recycle them as "wrapping bags" for my Christmas presents this year?   I've read of others who have done it before and this post from 101 Grams of (Eye) Candy totally nailed that idea. Her "reduce, reuse, recycle" ... READ MORE

My Do-It-Yourself (DIY) Tea Party

11.30.2012 by Leah // 14 Comments

I had always wanted to host a tea party at home, and was all the more inspired after AJ treated me to an afternoon tea at Manila Peninsula last August.   But I was so busy at work and was doing all those traveling I just couldn't put my mind and time into it. But I found my perfect opportunity when my friend (and kumare) Denise sent me a message one day asking when are we ... READ MORE

Christmas Loot Bags

12.18.2011 by Leah // 1 Comment

Tomorrow is our office's children's party, a yearly event we organize every December for the kids.   I am in charge of the games and I am already excited to see them get challenged with what I've prepared haha. I am also done preparing my Christmas loot bags.  For weeks I've been racking my brain on what to give them kids.   It's so difficult to think of a uniform gift for ... READ MORE

Merry Crayon Wreath

11.17.2011 by Leah // 2 Comments

I saw this homemade Christmas wreath at etsy and I'm inspired to make one too!    The more colors there are, the merrier! Check out the similar project done by Angela of "A Bushel and a Peck of Fun".    It comes with an instruction (thank you!) and it's fairly easy to do!   We'll just be needing embroidery hoops, crayons (lots of it!) and glue gun. The good thing ... READ MORE

#throwback to Easter 2019 when @ajdeleon77 and I t #throwback to Easter 2019 when @ajdeleon77 and I took mommy and daddy to a double date at Rockwell Powerplant. Today is daddy's 11th month in heaven 💜 The coming weeks are sure going be tough for me because the painful memories from last year will start coming back as we approach his 1st death anniversary. I miss our family bonding time whether in Cebu or Makati, at the mall or simply at home. The over-extended quarantine has made it very difficult for us create new memories as a family (outside videocalls, that is). But I know that with God's grace we will overcome. 🙏

More than half of the leaves dried up.  But look, new buds have started to say 'Hi' just last week 🤗 Need talaga ng patience kapag #plantita ka. 😁
