How We Spent Our Mother's Day Weekend: Storytelling at Gap and The Sexy Chef Cooking Demo

How did you spend Mother's Day Weekend? It was a busy weekend for us. Event, lunch, event, dinner. It was a busy weekend for us!

First event was a Storytelling Event at Gap Shangri-La! Gap released their Paddington Bear X Gap Baby Collection and the Project Mom Authors Amanda Griffin-Jacob and Bianca Araneta-Elizalde were the guest storytellers.

Super cute collection! Look at that jacket!

While waiting for the event to start, Y had  her arms painted with a Paddington Bear!

She asked for flowers so there! :)

Then the Glam-O-Mamas came to read a short excerpt from a Paddington Bear book.

Thank you Bianca and Amanda for that short and sweet afternoon of storytelling!

The next day, we had Mother's Day lunch with my family then we're off to another event before capping off our Mother's day with ramen night with my family!

I asked the hubby to take the kids to ride a train ride while I attend a short cooking demo by The Sexy Chef. I was with Patty, Jackie and Belle! We were able to try and taste the dishes they cooked. And it was good ha!

The Sexy Chef

Tofu Sandwich which tastes like Egg Mayo Sandwich!

Jap Chae

Malunggay Shrimp Fried Rice

Eating all those sample dishes made me even more fuller from lunch but the dishes were really good. I hope I can replicate at home! After the cooking demo, we all trooped to Glorietta's Mom Wellness Fair to check out the booths and activities!

It's an afternoon well spent with the SoMoms! Thank you Janice for inviting us!

Dressing Y Up!

It was a long weekend last weekend. Enjoyed it with my family staying home, enjoying the cool and rainy weather!

I was checking Y's clothes stash, ones that were gifted and haven't used yet. I put them on different zip locks arranged by their sizes (9 to 12 months, 12 to 18 months, and so on). I check them once a month to take out clothes that can fit Y already. At the same time I also check clothes that don't fit her anymore so I can keep them and make space for her drawer.

I took out some dresses and I found the Cotton On Ballerina dress/costume which was given to Y by one of my college barkada, Auntie S and Uncle F. I think it fits her already so we (yaya and me) on her, plus the Baby Gap shoesies that the BOS bought during Christmas! Her yaya said to put a headband.

So here she is... my life-sized doll! LOL!

Then the other day, we visited her Amma and some relatives who's here on a vacation. We dressed her up too! It's the first time she wore leggings. So cute! Bought them on sale in Gingersnaps!

So cute! I had fun dressing her up but she was getting irritated by the end. LOL! But nonetheless, I love the perks of having a baby girl! Magastos nga lang when she learns to love clothes, shoes, and shopping! Her face lights up when I open my closet, and mind you, I have a small closet and my clothes are normal. Haha! Matagal pa naman yun. For the mean time, I'll enjoy dressing you up!
