The Misis Chronicles

When you have a kid in the house, it is very important to clean areas where he/she hangs out such as the living room, bedroom, play area and well, almost all areas of the house. With my 2-year-old, she is very curious on every new thing that she sees, and sometimes, puts everything in her mouth thinking it’s food. So I see to it that every morning, her yaya cleans the floor, her table and her toys to ensure that she’ll never picks up something harmful.

To be able to ensure that everything in your house is spic-and-span, here are a few cleaning materials you should have:

Oooh paper flowers! This DIY thing using my new HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 5525 Printer is so addicting, I can make pretty and whimsical things.

For this activity, I made paper flowers. I brought this when we were at Club Balai Isabel so that Gwen and I can do it when we’re bored. This is also what we plan to give to Nanay.

For the PDF of paper flowers, download here and here.

I used ordinary bond paper but the prints is still vibrant. I’m sure those paper flowers can be as colorful as they can be. Here’s an example of the finished product:

Here’s another fun DIY for your princess, a magical wand made of cutouts printed using the HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 5525 E-All-in-One Printer. This is perfect for pretend play, and can also be used if you’re having a princess-themed party. See, I’m getting creative because of this printer :p.

You can download the PDF file of the DIY Princess Wand here. After downloading, print.

The downloading of the PDF file took longer than printing the full-colored pages of this princess wand. I’m so amazed how fast this printer is.

When I was still in college, a computer and a printer is a must. I can’t get my school projects done without a reliable printer by my side. At that time, I was using an HP Deskjet Printer, a slim one that does its job, which is to print. When I graduated college and started working, I upgraded my old desktop computer to a laptop and never really cared on getting a new printer until now. I figured I don’t have any use for it yet since Gwen is still a toddler, if I have important documents needed to be printed, I use our office’s black&white printer.

So when HP Philippines and EON offered me a spanking new printer, of course, I welcomed it with open arms! They sent me this top-of-the-line HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 5525 e-All-in-One Printer…

After the major house clean-up after the flood because of Habagat, I made an effort to make the house extra cheerful aside from being clean. I changed the curtains and throw pillows, and applied wax to the furniture. And to eliminate the stench of floodwater (if there’s any), I used the Potentilla Home Fragrances that was sent to me for review.

Weeks ago, I was luckily invited at the opening of the Lock & Lock store in Araneta Avenue. I was surprised because I thought they can only be found inside department stores. I have plenty of knick-knacks/abubot /anik-anik or whatever you call it that’s why containers from Lock & Lock come in handy. I’m sure mommies and daddies will find pleasure checking out Lock & Lock stores. If you think Lock & Lock products are just limited to lunch boxes and water bottles, well check out other cool products below:

Here’s my Lock & Lock loot that afternoon:

When you have kids at home, puzzle mats are a must! They are the must-buys when baby proofing/kid proofing your home. We bought large and small sizes of puzzle mats, they really served their purpose on protecting Gwen from accidents especially when she started walking. They even protected our gadgets whenever our nephew/niece throws out our phones or my brother’s Playbook.

One thing I learned the hard way is this…
