    Macho Kid was delighted to discover that we were invited again by Toys R Us Philippines for one of their events. This time around, it’s for the opening of their new branch, Toys R Us Festival Mall Alabang (second floor, Z-entrance). There was lots of food, freebies, and fun. We did a challenge with mommy blogger Shen. To match all their in-store brands then shop 1 of each. Because I had a boy, I missed a step and forgot to pass on the baby girl section hahaha! Toys R Us Philippines Alabang Opening I’m saying this without any bias. Toys R Us is our favorite toystore in the Philippines. Why? Their staff is friendly, approachable…

    Review: Nono’s by Classic Confections | Mama and Baba Food Adventures

    When we were on vacation in Manila for 2 months, one of the places macho kid and I frequent is the new Podium. Why? Simply because they have delicious dining option without the messy crowd.

    Affordable Back to School Shoes | Macho Mom Approved!

    Hi mommies and daddies! Or lolo or ate or kuya or tita! Or whoever supports the little one in their studies. I won’t keep you too long here. But I just want to share me and macho kid’s favorite shoes to buy during back-to-school season. As growing kids, their shoe size literally changes at least 2x a year! So it’s not recommended (this is my opinion) to splurge on footwear that will just last them that long. I make sure jop’s shoes are light to wear, with soles sewn in. Preferably leather. Also I think my alloted budget for a pair of shoe must be less than 1,000 pesos. That’s where…
