Snack Time: Happy Cookie

-
Have you catch the latest video that has been getting a lot of appearance and exposure 'round the social media channels? It's a funny skit created by Jimmy Fellon (such a talented guy) and Justin Timberlake entitled "Hashtag."

This is what is called a hastag --> #
Show this sign to most of our parents and they'll say it's a number sign. For phone users, they'll say it's the pound sign. For Instagram and Twitter fans, it's definitely called a Hashtag.

I'm pretty guilty of using hashtags in most of my Twitter and Instagram captions. An #example would be something as #classic as this in hopes that using #hashtags would make the word #trend. #yeahimcoollikethat #wishing

The video made me think of cookies and speaking of #cookies (hehe okay I'll stop), let me share with you one discovery that I had during my short visit home. Meet Happy Cookie!



When I got an email from Erika of Happy Cookie asking me if she can send over a couple of boxes of her yummy baked treats for me to try, of course I just had to say yes. After all, who says no to cookie? Definitely not this cookie monster! Among all baked sweets, I love cookies! Crunchy, chewy, nutty, chocolately, with oats, with fruits... I love them all! Erika sent me two boxes just in time for my arrival back in Manila. What a great surprise!

I first tried the Chocolate Chip Cookies (Php. 280/dozen) and look how the chocolate oozes out! It was pure nirvana. I love how the cookie was chewy yet not crumbly at all. It was so yummy that the second day, I had it with a glass of cold skim milk.

As for the Oatmeal Raisin (Php 280/dozen) it was more on the crunchy kind. I'm not very fond of raisins but when mixed in the cookies, somehow I don't get to taste it anymore. I noticed that it took a while before it hardened up which means you can continue to enjoy your cookies when placed in cool room temperature for 2-3 days..that is if only if you don't finish it up in one sitting.

Hooray for Happy Cookie!

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

Misto at Seda Vertis North

Happy Friday!  I'm not going to lie, Friday is one of my favorite days because it means, we're just a day away from the weekend! Who doesn't love the weekend, right? This is the day when I give my twins my uninterrupted attention. We would start the day with any breakfast of their choice (normally waffles for J, pancakes or peanut butter sandwich for L) followed by an hour of doing their homework and in the afternoon, we head out for their swim class! Sunday is more laid back as we would stay home and just laze around the house otherwise, we would go and visit my in laws and spend the day there.  Speaking of the weekend, I suddenly remembered one of the best weekends that we've had this year so far. This was when we had our staycation at Seda Vertis North  and the twins truly enjoyed every minute of it. Of course, they love our comfy and very spacious Corner Suite with an adjacent Deluxe Room as well as checking out the hotel's amenities and the Vertis North mall
