WHAT

What am I blogging about?

My Mom-Friday is all about family, food, fun, good finds, and all around good vibes!

I have decided to organize my entries according to the following schedule and hope you continue to follow me through all my Fridays and in-betweens (",).

Update:
Since 2017, I haven't been writing as often as I used to. I will still try to publish a story every week and continue to share my personal experiences, new product discoveries, and places of interests.

If I am able, I follow a theme for each Friday of the month:


1. FIRST FRIDAY of the Month:  FOODIE FRIDAY
Food, Mom-Cook (Recipes) and Dining

I consider myself a foodie, but far from being a good cook compared to my mother. I am quite adventurous with my food choices. But having a household of four adults and two children with opposite tastes and diet needs, this calls for extra attention on the weekly menu.

I am a struggling home cook who needs to whip up a balanced and delicious meal on a day to day basis for my family. That, for me, is an unending challenge.

Mom-Cook: Recipes - a collection of easy-to-cook meals to help busy bodies like me. Most of the dishes you will find here can be done in 30 minutes or less.  Some are inspired from cookbooks, friends who cook, food blogs, restaurant favorites, and my mom's cooking -- which I desperately try to replicate.

I may also feature foodie finds and dining experiences, pleasant or otherwise.


2. SECOND FRIDAY of the Month:  FAMILY FRIDAY
Kids, Parenting, Health and Home life

After getting married, being pregnant, giving birth, raising two beautiful children, working part-time and managing our home, I believe that in my own small imperfect world, I have gained nuggets of wisdom along the way.  Hopefully, these tidbits I will share in this blog would help other parents, and even singles, in their own journey to building a happy and healthy family life. So, expect anything from baby food to education, health to home improvements, marriage and parenting woes.


3. THIRD FRIDAY of the Month:  FUN FRIDAY
Leisure and Recreation, Travel, Events

Family travel tales, entertainment, personal hobbies, happy occasions and events, and other forms of leisurely activities that we get to experience shall be chronicled here.

This will be all about fun and memorable moments that make our lives more colorful.


4. LAST FRIDAY of the Month:  MOM-FINDS & FAVES
Good Finds, Shopping 
Mom-Finds - features non-food products I discovered, purchased, or services I have availed of for the enjoyment of my family and myself. I may also feature gifts from friends and sponsors. I'll also try to showcase bargain items I find one worth raving about.

I consider myself a practical shopper and I take pleasure in sharing my good finds to friends and loved ones.

I've created a spin-off on Instagram. Follow @momfindsph and tag your own finds with #MomFindsPH to get featured.


What if there's a FIFTH FRIDAY in a month?

If that's the case, 5th Friday = LAST Friday of the month = Mom-Finds and Faves

In effect, the 4th Friday for that month will be FREESTYLE FRIDAY. Anything goes.
I will post anything that strikes my fancy at that moment.


What about the OTHER DAYS of the week?

As I have mentioned on my Who page, if the homefront demands less of my time during the week and I can stay up a few more hours at night, I'll write an entry or two in between Fridays (",).


Special Features:
MOM-STYLE / KIDS-STYLE : putting the spotlight on mothers with style and substance, and kids' fashion; posts on my personal style inspirations; and trend-spotting for moms and kids (and maybe for dads too).

MOM-GROCER : grocery finds; a random post of the good, the bad, and the rotten, but mostly about the family's favorites and my kitchen staples


HOME-STYLE : a special section where I get to share my love for beautiful interiors and home design; shall feature design inspirations from real homes, with real stories behind the furniture pieces, accessories, theme, or colors that make up a beautiful dwelling for couples and families.

MY 3 THINGS: one photo at a time showing a group of 3 things, by category, that I use or consume regularly; learn more about each item and know the story behind them; on InstagramTwitter, or Facebook, you will see photos with my hashtag #my3things.


Feel free to comment and share thoughts on any of my posts. If you liked any of my stories, please share the love.  :-)
