YALE'S WHITE HAT Experience

Today, Yale had his 1st taste of White Hat's yogurt ice cream! Yehey! I think he likes it better than Tutti Fruti. The lady in the counter suggested for us to try the blueberry and cheesecake toppings because according to her, it's their best seller. And so we did!

This is sooo yummy!

He was amazed with the toppings and surely loved every bit of it!

He's a grown up little boy now, but of course he'll always be my baby! :)

Party Preps I: GAME PRIZES

So it's just a couple of days before my son's 2nd birthday party. Little by little, I am trying to prepare some of the things I'll be needing since I don't wanna have some cramming part on the night before. Which I think I wouldn't be doing so. (I wish!)

Anyway, here are some of the game prizes that I bought:

Bought these clear colored tumblers from Divi 

I also bought some Baby Bench colognes in Candy Scents :)

A big bag of candies from S&R, perfect for the party theme

These will be for special prizes.

I put some candies and Bench colognes inside the tumblers :)

I also put these cute thank you tags from Paper Treats and baker's twine from Paper Chic Studio

Bought these character towels also from Divi 

Well most of the game prizes I got were from Divi, the cheapest place you can get them, of course! Cheaper if you buy them in wholesale which they only require you to purchase 6pcs minimum for you to get the wholesale price. Nice, right?

Here are the other things I got:

Character white boards with markers and erasers

Kiddie back packs

Disney scissors

Pencil sets

Coloring and sticker books with colored pens

iphone notepads and clay pens for adult game prizes

arm candies that I also bought for ladies' game prizes, these bags will also be filled with candies

I'm also gonna buy some chocolates from S&R this Friday so I can pack some loot prizes filled with chocolates and candies. I'm limiting the game prizes though 'cause Shakey's told me that they only have 3-4 games. So better if everyone who will join the games will get prizes whether they win or not. :)

Watch out for my next post about party decors.

A Simple Celebration of Yale and Mama's Birthday

Well, some people wouldn't know that my mom and Yale have the same birth date. Yes, I personally picked my mom's birth date to be Yale's too! I had an induced labor so I was able to pick the date. :)

Today, we celebrated just a simple home cooked dinner since we will throw a party on Saturday.

Mango Torte cake 

Just a comment, I super duper love this yummy cake! The icing is not too sweet, just enough so you can indulge with the mangoes and sansrival-like layers inside with nuts and mangoes. Really a must-try! Ordered this from Lailen's Pastries . 

I also made some ceiling balloon decors that Yale and his cousins can play with.

Again, Happy Happy Birthday to my son Yale and my mom Vilma! :)

GREYAM YALE turns TWO!

Two years have gone by so fast, too fast! Just a couple of years ago when you came into our lives and changed everything in just a snap! Our grocery lists includes milks, nappies, vitamins and other baby stuffs. Shopping lists will always have little clothes and tiny versions of daddy's shoes. Monthly pedia visits will always be a "date" for us. And now, you have developed so much that as early as this stage, you would even argue with me just to watch basketball at night and hold the remote control.

How time flies! I will always keep my promise to give you the best that we can. My life, my love, my son, I have carried you in my tummy for nine months. But I will carry you forever in my heart. 

Happy 2nd Birthday Greyam Yale! Mommy and Daddy loves you so much!

Again, Happy Birthday my love! :)

Greyam Yale's Pre-birthday Shoot

Hello mommies! Happy Mother's Day! Today, aside from the numerous greetings I got from my loved ones and a lot of sweet hugs and kisses from my boys, we also had a lunch out and finally got the chance for Yale's shoot. Well, it's less than a week before the party so I need to finalize the photo that I need to submit for his photo booth lay out. :)

Here are some of the photos:

In two days, my love will turn two years old! Excited with his party too! :)

YALE'S Pre-Birthday Date

Hello mommies! Tomorrow is Mother's Day, have you got any plans yet? Today, we had an "unplanned" day out with our son Yale. We actually went to the metro to buy him his "birthday" shoes. :)

We have been searching for the perfect shoes for his birthday and we always end up without an available size for him. So I asked my sister to check out a store in the metro and she was able to confirm they have the exact size for Yale.

But of course, we first went to see Spongebob too! :)

Yale's OOTD:

shirt - Just Tees

pants - Gingersnaps

shoes - Jordan (Nike)

We played hide and seek between these haha!

daddy and Yale at Nike Stadium SM North

Finally got a size for Yale :)

Jordan 5 size 8c - his birthday shoes!

He's a spoiled and happy birthday boy! :)

And of course, won't forget to visit tita Kaye at Starbucks! :)

Just a few days before my little boy turns two and we're almost set for his birthday party. Hope everything will go well. Cheers!

My DIVIsoria Escapade

Hello mommies! I'm just so happy about my Divisoria escapade last Thursday with my mom and sister. Yes, I finally made it to Divi and bought stuffs that I need for Yale's birthday. 

I haven't been to Divi for quite some time now, from San Fernando (Pampanga), mom and I rode a bus to Cubao but alighted at Munoz stop to meet my sister. Then we rode the Light Rail Transit (LRT) going to Tayuman and a tricycle going to Tutuban. I actually purchased inside the 168 malls where I got super cheap stuffs for the party.

Of course, I needed to buy game prizes for the kids and adults. :)

Since I didn't avail of Shakey's party supplies, I decided to buy instead. The party host told me how many game prizes I needed, but of course, mommy instinct strikes again, so I opted to purchase more than expected. I can always give the extra game prizes to kids. :)

 So there, I bought some kiddie backpacks with cartoon characters; plastic tumblers; colored pencils;

iphone notepads; clay pens; character scissors; coloring books; sticker books; pencil eraser sets;

white board with cartoon characters; face towels, etc.

Since I also decided to DIY our balloon decor, we went to Kyla Mae's to purchase some balloons and pumps. 

I bought 120 pcs of 10" indoor balloons and 40 pcs of twisting balloons

plus 2 pcs hand pumps since the venue is not that big (60-80 pax capacity)

Overall, my Divi trip was a success! We're going to the cake and dessert supplier this afternoon to finalize the package.

Thanks and have a great weekend mommies! :)
