Fixing Plumbing Problems

I was surprised to see our water bill suddenly skyrocketed this month.  I was wondering what was wrong because our water usage is just the same with the previous months.  I tried to figure out what is the problem and ask the house helper who does the laundry and dish washing if she consumed plenty of water. Our house help said the water consumption is just the same.

I surmised there must be leak in the pipes that are under the kitchen flooring.  I contacted a plumber  to check on it.  I admire our neighbor plumber who is expert in Slab Leak Detection because he is able to pinpoint where the leak exists. Problem solved!

Celebrating the Kadayawan Festival

August is a month for the celebration of the Kadayawan festival here in Davao particularly the third week of August. The whole family got out from the house and joined that fun of the streets - the floral parade. We arrived a little late because some floral floats have already started but we still able to see a lot of beautiful entries of floats decorated with fresh flowers and fruits.

 After the floral parade which was already done at around 10:00 in the morning, we headed to Victoria Plaza for a morning snack.  We had pizza at Greenwich and Keona enjoyed a merry-go-round ride with hubby.

 I was really happy because Keona was really behaved when we were on the street witnessing the floral parade.  I used to dread bringing her with us because I don't get to enjoy the event since Keona becomes really unruly and even throw tantrums at times. This time, it's different.  She was well-behaved and all of us are having fun.

Here's what to do to make your toddler calm when you attend some events like the Kadayawan Festival.

1.  Make sure your toddler is well-rested.  Normally, toddler becomes unruly when they lack sleep.

2.  Give something for them to munch like bicuits, candies and others so that they will have something to be busy when they don't enjoy the event like you do.

3.  Talk to them.  Toddlers usually understand already. Teach them proper behavior when outside your home.

There you have it guys! Have a nice day everyone:).

Our Tot Loves to Play at the Mall

Keona has been loving to stroll at the mall and she always wants to go to the play area. She has become bigger now and she befriends with other kids she meets wherever she is-mall, bank, restaurant and play areas in malls.

Here are her photos enjoying the rides in the play area at Gmall.





She enjoyed it a lot. Looking forward to our next malling:).
