About Us

We are Mark and Abi, parents of baby Atticus, also known as Tikoy. Join us as we share our adventures and misadventures as a millennial couple and first-time parents. We hope that we will be helpful in some ways and spark good conversations.

How has working from home with a toddler going for you? For us, it proved itself a whole other dinosaur to tackle as soon as it started.

Who wouldn't be kilig to receive a gift such as this? It's an eco sling bag made from agri-abaca waste and upcycled materials by @greenelas.ph

Butter 💜💜💜

We made an album for grandpa’s birthday. 🎁

When life gives you peaches 🍑 (and lets you serendipitously discover good peach tea), hack Cafe Mary Grace’s peach tea smoothie!

My husband wonders why I dump—dump!— @seriosochiligarlic on everything I eat. Well, this is why. 😂

Abi doesn’t share! 😂

There is that J.K. Rowling magic, and we have missed it very much. This is her first children’s novel after Harry Potter, but don’t let that fool you—at some point, it becomes dark. We read a few chapters a night. Thankfully, our little boy would already be fast asleep when it gets heavy, but the parents stay on because the storyline is just that gripping.

Working from home for more than a year now made me creative in how I spend time with my toddler. Whether it’s building wooden train tracks or molding dinosaur bones using kinetic sand, Tikoy likes CREATING ANYTHING. So I revisited my knack for baking and I’m happy that Tikoy enjoys simple tasks like whisking the batter, measuring ingredients and watching recipe videos.

Scrub Daddy: is it worth the budol? Check out the full review by our official dishwasher a.k.a. Mark! 😆

We didn't know children's book author Leo Lionni yet when Tikoy's ninong @chdweller gifted him this shirt two years ago.

We finally caved in to the @pusongandoks Litson Baka movement proliferating in our social media feeds lately, and we couldn't agree more: it's goood.

Next Sunday will be Mark’s second year of celebrating Father’s Day during a pandemic! By now we’ve already been used to simple lunches or dinners at home but it also doesn’t hurt to go the extra mile by ordering a feast from our local restaurants like Cravings.

Most would think that clean and healthy eating is too tedious. But allow us to debunk that myth with our favorite low-sugar cookies! This tasty and filling treat suffices for a good breakfast as it's filled with nuts and seeds, and you can do it in just 30 minutes! Tip: bake a batch on weekends and consume within a week.
