Are crafting dates a thing? We’d always joke around the Googly HQ about how when we grow old, we’d be one of those tita groups in cafes and restaurants bringing a bunch of arts and craft supplies. ? So when Craft Easy asked us if we would want to host one with some of our readers, […]
Cool breeze, familiar carols and festive lights all mean one thing: it’s Christmas?! The holidays have always been festive in our country (and really long too which we’re not complaining about to be honest). But with a toddler who loves to play (and sing and dance and make adorable faces for his titos and titas),
My baby is now a little boy. I can’t believe I’m typing this but it’s the truth. While I do sometimes miss the teeny tiny Riley, his two year old (almost three) self has got quite the amount of surprises too. For starters, I always thought that shopping would only be fun for little girls
We got to hold a crafting workshop with Music, Arts and Physical Education teachers all over the Philippines with Canon, Pandayan Bookshop and the Department of Education. We were required to come up with a presentation and setup using crafts and downloadable templates from the Canon Creative Park archives that showcases Asia’s various landmarks and
It’s heartwarming and inspiring to see companies add a layer of purpose or mission to their products. As a mom, I feel so grateful for brands like Tiny Buds for expressing genuine concern in instilling values for the kids of today. They go beyond their products, even to the point of creating a story book
While workshops may seem part of our job description, it’s something that we likewise consider a treat. We love witnessing how participants get to enjoy, play with and nourish their creativity and imagination. Even more so when it’s something they could share with their loved ones like mom. It’s quite the treat! Such was the
I’m trying to recall when my curiosity for cutting ever started. I remember when I was 5, and I was using a super blunt pair of scissors to cut my bangs. My mother was really upset to find out what I did. Hahahahahaha. I still think it’s funny to this day. I tried hiding under
Hello Guys! I’ve been trying to finish this personal project since summer. I noticed that ever since Riley started learning, I became more concerned about things like our education system: how kids learn things and the like. On some days, I find myself giving speeches to my friends about how maybe we can put more
If there’s one thing that Riley has been fascinated about since he was a baby, it’s food. At just a few months old, he’d wake up to the smell of sautéed garlic in the kitchen. He loves to watch people cooking, be it his dad at home, the chefs stretching noodles in restaurants or the
The concept of Wonderland has fascinated us for a while now. We remember scanning tha pages of Vogue some years back, admiring the Alice in Wonderland-inspired editiorial they did with Annie Leibovitz and Natalia Vodianova. So when Cath Kidston asked us to conduct an arts and crafts workshop in celebration of the launch of their
It’s no secret that we love color and food so it’s been a long dream of ours to put the two together. We didn’t realize that our little wish would come true soon when we met Elle Jay Orbase (aka Pancake Warrior on Youtube) and the Maya Hotcake Team! They shared with us a few
I can’t believe I tried putting off this blog post out of guilt for so long! I just felt like straight off from vacation, I can’t just sit down & relish my vacation. I need to get back to work. However, these thoughts still linger in my mind. I mean, 4 months later, I am
Hello Guys! We’ve been getting a lot of requests to bring the Digitizing Workshop back. What is the Digitizing Workshop about? The Digitizing Workshop was originally created for students who would like to create digital files out of their hand drawn and hand-lettered illustration. After several sessions though, it has evolved into a basic lay-outing

As I grew up, these turned into card-hunting and I would spend all night thinking about what to write. Years passed
Learning should be fun. While I know it can be challenging too, I’d like to make it as interesting and as enjoyable as possible especially for Riley. This is also the reason why our house is bursting with children’s books of all sorts and everyone at home, including our extended families, sing to nursery rhymes
Hello Guys! ? I always get asked how I choose colors and come up with a palette for my projects. It’s on top of the FAQs list alongside (a) what printer do we use, (b) what paper/paint do we use, and (c) when will Riley have a meet and greet? *Really, I’m so thankful for this kid’s
Ahhhhhhh! I’ve tried parking this blog post for the longest time even if I had a lot of thoughts and reflections while I was in Japan. Before giving birth, I’d honestly thought I’d never be able to bring Riley anywhere until he’s a certain age. Also, in this trip, I wasn’t really expecting to visit

We’ve had a series of free arts and crafts workshops and design talks with Canon Printers over the past year. While I’ve shared snippets throughout my social channels, a good number of you who couldn’t come (either because of time or location constraints) wanted to see more and so I thought why not make a
