I’ve heard a lot of good things about Marta’s but I never thought of visiting the place because you know how expensive a visit to Serendra is. ^_^ But I was surprised to know that cupcake or cookie decorating kits in Marta’s Cakes only costs P130!

Marta’s also has the cutest cakes. Here are some of their cakes.

Twilight!!! One of the best

Casino Cake

a fancy lop-sided cake

Somebody give me this cake…NOW NA!

Princess, Knights and Dragons

I was hoping to see a Sony VAIO cake but I didn’t see one

The next time you want to take your kids out, try something sweet and creative like cupcake and cookie decorating at Marta’s Cakes!

But one of my dreams is to really put up a boutique for Posh Baby, it will double as my office so I no longer have to meet with my clients elsewhere. I want a boutique like this:

Of course the location will be on our home I have to convert the front yard into this haha! My husband is so not against the idea because he knows that I’m putting the space into good use.

The color has to be all pastel since Posh Baby is all about baby clothes and some other stuff. The door should be white or pink or yellow with a kid-friendly door knob, specifically a teddy bear one (ain’t it cute?). I have so many plans but for now I need to look for resources to make this all come true ^_^

Having said that, I got an idea to put up a home-based online bakeshop Project Happiness Bakehouse. I’d be selling cupcakes and bars for everyone’s sweet cravings. I have classic chocolate and vanilla cupcakes, Nutella cupcakes, revel bars and more.

All of these are freshly baked and made using the finest ingredients so you get your money’s worth

With very few online bakeshops here in Cavite, I am positive that I will succeed in this endeavor.

I have made several posts about Enchanted Kingdom’s newest attractions but never on how to commute to the magical place from Manila. Here’s how:

• Ayala Center Terminal in Makati - A special shuttle travels from Ayala Center to Enchanted Kingdom and vice-versa. Special ticket rates apply.
• By Public Utility Bus – At Taft corner Buendia, ride a bus going to Balibago Complex and get off at WalterMart. From there ride a tricycle to Enchanted Kingdom.

We are from Cavite so what we did was ride a bus to Dasmarinas, Cavite, get-off at Robinson’s Dasma and ride a van to Sta. Rosa. Easy-peasy. You’ll know that you’re already in Sta. Rosa because you’ll see lots of used rvs for sale along the highway.

Here are the park’s latest attractions:
Zoori Adventures
Dora & Diego’s 4D Adventures
BiKi Waterworld

Park Schedule:

Enchanted Kingdom Park Schedule from April 3 – June 6, 2010
Mondays – Fridays: 2PM to 9PM
Saturdays – Sundays: 11AM to 9PM with Fireworks at 8PM
For more details, you may call 584-3535 or 584-4326 to 29

But as I was resting I thought of transferring our old wall clock…unfortunately yes, I broke the clock! One stupid move.

I can’t leave home just to buy a new one so I used a little creativity to make it look pretty again.

I gathered enough stars from an old Christmas hat, a portion of the hat was used to make the letters in Yona’s stockings.

At first I thought of using my ever reliable Turbo glue, but it was so runny that I decided to use a glue gun to stick the stars to the clock crack.

Here’s the final product:

Now our clock is happy again! Festive mood pa

Our theme this year is metallic red. We adorned the inexpensive tree with red balls, ribbons of red and gold, and chain.

How about you, care to share photos of your Christmas tree?

So, do you have old stockings that you want to prettify? The entire process may take time but it’s really easy and simple!

Materials:

- old Christmas stockings
- extra cloth or old Christmas ornaments for the design
- black thread or green for contrast
- glue gun
- pencil
- cotton

For the letters, I use fabric from old Christmas hats that we can no longer use as some portions are already tattered.

Cut out the letters for your kid’s name, stuff it with cotton and hand sew the sides.

When you’re done, glue the letters to the stockings and you’re done! Easy, right?

If you are not comfortable with sewing, you can simply glue old Christmas ornaments on the stockings.

On this one, I used the star I used for our Christmas tree last year. This made me think on what to put on the tree this time. Hahaha!

Now, who says Christmas decors have to be expensive?

Art activity is one good way to bond with your kids. It is inexpensive and both of you will learn a lot of things during the process.

I’ll discuss more of the second and third sets in my succeeding posts. Let me tell you something on the first art set that we opened, the Tooth Fairy Pillow.
