From Stilettos To Ballet Flats: December 2014
http://www.misisteapot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Friday, December 12, 2014. The Legoland Hotel Experience. For this Christmas, my husband and I decided to give our children the gift of travel and adventure- we went on a much-anticipated trip to. Naturally, it was our Lego-addict son Jaden who was most excited about this. For a month and a half, he counted the days leading to our vacation. (It was also my favorite and most effective bargaining tool then. Haha.). But when we got to Legoland Hotel. ALL OF US were enthralled! Later, I had to extricate them...

From Stilettos To Ballet Flats: August 2015
http://www.misisteapot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, August 12, 2015. Dreamplay is City of Dreams Manila's answer to family-friendly entertainment. It's an indoor interactive play center that celebrates the characters of well-loved Dreamworks films like Shrek, Kung Fu Panda, How To Train Your Dragon, Madagascar, and more. My husband and I took our kids on a no-work Friday to see what all the raves were about. I was approached by a Dreamplay staff member and was asked if I could please fill up a satisfaction survey? I loved the concept- the theme...

From Stilettos To Ballet Flats: November 2014
http://www.misisteapot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Friday, November 28, 2014. There is a song that goes, " You hold me like I'm the one who's precious. I hate to break it to you, but it's just the other way around. You can thank the stars all you want, but I'll always be the lucky one. Well, nothing is farther from the truth. That is to say, Julz gave me the life that I didn't even know I want. You really are my answered prayer, Aims. I love you. Monday, November 24, 2014. Getting Vanilla Bean-ified with Keratin Complex. It was my first time in Piandre's...

From Stilettos To Ballet Flats: Parenthood Shared: The Launch of The Parenting Emporium
http://www.misisteapot.com/2015/07/parenthood-shared-launch-of-parenting.html
Friday, July 31, 2015. Parenthood Shared: The Launch of The Parenting Emporium. A few weeks ago, I had the privilege of joining the launch of something that is close to my heart: The Parenting Emporium. Here's the backstory. Around two years ago, during a particularly sleepless night, I accidentally plugged my Medela breastpump in the wrong voltage. As expected, it damaged the motor and I was left panicking- as a work-out-of-home mom, I heavily relied on my breastpump. That was Medela House to me. Wh...

From Stilettos To Ballet Flats: Visiting the Vikings
http://www.misisteapot.com/2015/07/visiting-vikings.html
Wednesday, July 08, 2015. Is easily my husband's and son's most anticipated city (after London) on this trip. My two boys have developed an obsession to dragons thanks to the hit movie How To Train Your Dragon. Which introduced the Vikings to my 4-year-old son. Naturally, the Viking Ship Museum. Which houses actual ships, maritime crafts, and other remnants of the Viking age, was a must-visit for us. Behind us, a thousand year old Viking ship. But contrary to their reputation as a barbaric people, histor...

From Stilettos To Ballet Flats: June 2015
http://www.misisteapot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 28, 2015. In my 5 years as a mother, I have learned, un-learned, and re-learned many life lessons. In the beginning, I gave everything to my firstborn Jaden. I put my career on hold, zapped my social life, and just allowed my world to revolve around his. Very uliran na ina. Or so I thought. I woke up one day, exhausted and. empty. I didn't realize that in giving. So much of myself, I was losing. Myself in the process too. I was a happier mom, more cheerful, more fun! I know that I'm not the ...

Laura P's Semester at Sea journey through Europe, Africa, and South America! Tuesday, January 21, 2014. Sunshine, Safari, and Tree Top Canopy. Safari Sunrise (c) Me! Garden Route Game Lodge South Africa. I got the opportunity to go on a three-day safari trip in South Africa as one of the field programs I signed up for with SAS. We flew from Cape Town to a city called Port Elizabeth the day after we docked. It was nice to travel via plane again; a small break from all the sailing! Sunday, 27 October 2013.

SEAmester Shenanigans!: Wachu Ghana Do?
http://laura2013sas.blogspot.com/2014/01/wachu-ghana-do.html
Laura P's Semester at Sea journey through Europe, Africa, and South America! Wednesday, January 1, 2014. Ghana is extremely poverty-stricken. Let me just say that right off the bat. As a third-world country, there were a lot of areas in the country where development is still absolutely needed. I saw sewage out in the open on the streets, and beggars finding shelter on the concrete of the street pavements. And yet in the midst of all this hardship, I also saw the happiest people in Ghana. Another observat...
