Bizu celebrates Mother's Day

-
"I'll always be your Mommy even if you're married and you'll someday be a Mommy yourself..."

That's my Mommy's constant line whenever she would nag me about certain things and I would tell her not to worry because I'm a grown woman. Up until this day, Mommy never fails to call me at exactly 7PM to ask for my whereabouts. I never really got off my curfew as Mommy would start looking for us (yes, Paul included) and wouldn't sleep until she knows we're on our way home. She would always ensure that our helper would prepare breakfast for us and that I have lunch to bring to work. Initially, I thought my Mom must be the most protective Mom in the world...that was until I saw how my Amah (grandmother) was when Mommy went to Japan for a vacation. Amah would call me every single day asking if I was able to talk to Mommy online. On days where her favorite radio announcer would announce that it's a rainy day in Japan, she would call and ask if Mommy was able to bring an umbrella. That's my Amah who's 70 being equally just as protective to my 50-something Mommy. Indeed, a mother's love starts from the moment you are in her womb and this goes on for a lifetime.

Yesterday, Mommy got her early Mother's Day gift from Bizu -- our favorite go-to places for yummy foccacia bread, Croque Monsieur sandwich and French macarons. Two years ago, Bizu was very thoughtful as they sent Papa a box of Chocolate Cigars for Father's Day and this year, it was Mommy's turn to receive a special gift from them.

Mommy got a pretty looking cake called Paris-Brest which I'd say was perfect for her as she is not a fan of icing-covered cakes. The Paris-Brest is made of Almond Pâte à Choux and has the same bite and texture as that of an eclair and my favorite, profiteroles. Light and fluffy, it's filled with rose cream, sweet lychee and fresh raspberry. I can also taste a hint of white chocolate in every bite.

On Mother's Day, all guests who purchase this cake or any Grande size cake from Bizu will receive a special Mother's Day gift package which includes a fully-filled tote bag from Good Housekeeping Philippines, a Mario Badescu’s skin care product, Lancome premium items and Leg Love leggings. My mom has received a Good Housekeeping tote bag before and it was filled with a lot of products that has surely delighted her on her special day. I'm sure all mommies out there will love this treat too! What a great treat if you ask me! You get to enjoy this delicious cake and surprise your mom with all these great items too. Definitely a great gift idea, dear readers.


Bizu is located at the G/F of the Promenade Mall, Greenhills Shopping Center, San Juan. They also have branches located at Greenbelt 2, Alabang Town Center, St. Luke BGC and Glorietta 4.

Franny Mommy Finds : Happy Noz Sticker Patch

As a parent, I have one thing that I dread the most and that's when any of my kids fall sick. From the moment we detect the faintest sniffle followed by sneezes and runny nose, we know one thing is for sure -- we will be having a couple of sleepless nights. For twins, it is very common that when one falls sick, expect the other one to follow suit in just a matter of days, sometimes within hours even.  A few years ago, my twins would catch a cold and we really would struggle because they'd become very fussy and cranky at night. They're sleepy and tired from the cold but with a clogged nose, they can't really have a restful night and this means, either one of us will have to sit up and carry them all throughout the night. It came to a point wherein both kids were sick and Paul and I eventually caught the bug too. It was just so hard to care for the kids while you're not in the best condition as well. This got me researching on remedies on how we can have a good night ...

Bag of Beans (Charito) in Tagaytay

I can't believe that we have been frequenting Tagaytay for more than a decade now and not once have I written about Bag of Beans ! I tried searching all over this blog and I found..nothing. To think that not a single trip to Tagaytay, back then, would ever be complete without stopping by Bag of Beans for lunch or merienda. I must have been to engrossed with their coffee and bread that I wasn't able to take photos of the place and their food thus no blog entry. They, after all, have one of the best brewed coffee in Tagaytay and the yummiest bread to go with it too. Bag of Beans has been an institution in Tagaytay. Just like us, other tourists and visitors would make sure to drop by in order to grab a bite or to take home some of their homemade goodies every time they find themselves in Tagaytay. Bag of Beans started with one branch along the Tagaytay-Nasugbu Main Road across Residence Inn Zoo and it wasn't even overlooking the Taal. While they may lack in having a scenic ...

IKEA Singapore Pyjamas Party

For those who have watched the movie 500 Days of Summer starring Zooey Deschanel and my ex-boyfriend Joseph Gordon-Levitt, you probably also loved this scene: Paul and I are regular shoppers of IKEA . It's highly possible that someday, we will be able to furnish our future home with IKEA furniture pieces and items as it has been our go-to place since our 1st day here in Singapore. We would joke that if only we can live in IKEA, we probably would go for it. Well, who would have thought that the opportunity would come for us to "spend the night" in IKEA? A week ago, Paul and I were chosen to be one of the lucky few to join the exclusive IKEA Pyjamas Party . It was a 4-hour event starting at 11PM and we were told to come in..what else?!...our PJs. We were too shy though so we just went in our comfy t-shirt and shorts. Well, some were really brave and came in their full PJs complete with fluffy bedroom slippers! This event was to launch the 2015 IKEA catalogue also...
