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

I feel like I’ve said this a thousand times but we just never had this much options when it comes to paper, pen and art supplies back in the day. Sometimes, we’d even have to
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
We had quite the sweet and egg-citing Easter weekend filled with all things candy and color at S Maison Conrad Manila as we held an Easter crafts and treats workshop earlier this month! I’ve always wanted to explore colors with food to the point that I even bought chocolates of different hues this year and
We’re grateful for the opportunity to spread our love for colors as we painted our third heart and this time for Ayala Malls Cloverleaf! I can clearly remember our first heart in Serendra. (Read about it here.) It was just seven weeks after I gave birth to Riley! I was cleared by the doctor and
When I was 8, I would always wish it would rain chocolates. I didn’t realize it would (sort of) come true now that I’m an adult and let me tell you, I think I’m even more excited about it now than I was then! One day, we received a “pink ticket” in our mail. (Yes
I recently had the chance to revisit my childhood: all those years spent tinkering with paper during siesta time, playing teacher and volunteering for bulletin boards all rolled into one as we got to create a backdrop and conduct a watercolor and crafts workshop for the launch of H&M’s newest line for kids! The elements
Form and function are two things that should but don’t always go together so it’s a treat every time I come across furniture and home accessories that celebrate both. There’s something so attractive and interesting when a piece is so useful and yet can be classified as a fine piece of art as well. (That
Our house is mostly filled with arts and crafts supplies, paper of various kinds, books, food (chocolates!) and Riley’s toys. As much as these are all fun and tasty, it can be a bit overwhelming at times. I also happen to have moments where my OC-ness kicks in and I cannot stop myself from cleaning
