Tikoy has been eager to help out, so we’re starting to teach him simple chores such as refilling our water bottles, putting away his things on his own, and recently, how to fold his clothes. We don’t expect him to do a perfect job, and sometimes, his “helping” would make the work twice as much,…

Our son, Tikoy, loves stories. We started reading books to him when Abi was still pregnant, so I guess that’s why we didn’t have a hard time introducing the habit to him. We’ve been writing for months now in the blog, but this will be our first time to review children’s books. We chose these…

Manang Biday’s Kitchen introduced us to the world of fermented vegetables we didn’t know existed (aside from Sauerkraut, Kimchi, and our very own Atsara and Buro).
