Although it has been a few days since Father’s Day, I see no reason why you cannot give the most important man in your life another round of surprises. Make our National Hero, Jose Rizal’s birthday as another excuse to do so! 😀 I will if I can!
Giving dad another gift is just a few clicks of your mouse away. All you have to do is join this M.O.M For Dad Timex Watch Giveaway. Mum teamed up with Mom’s Online Magazine + a bunch of other generous bloggers to bring you this giveaway.
Joining sure is easy-peasy + all you have to do is follow the tasks set-up by the Rafflecopter Widget below. So wait no more + join our little giveaway.
For book lovers like this mum, there is nothing like a good book to keep the blues away! Although childminding + parenting stuff take the biggest chunk of my time now, I make it a point to allot some time to catch up on my reading, too! Plus, am raising the little man to be a bookworm himself, so I make sure he sees me huddled in the sofa buried in one of my books, whenever I find the time.
Apart from being a very educational + worthwhile activity, a perfect me-time {especially for those who hardly have time for themselves}, books are also perfect stress-reliever + there is nothing like lounging in your easy chair resuming another chapter on a book you have been setting aside for the longest time.
Anyone who reads my blog will now that I definitely love books, review them + give them away on occasions, too! + one of my most favorite is this Chicken Soup for the Woman Soul book, which I have read ages ago, but was only able to get my very own copy earlier this year. That is why I am so excited to share yet another book giveaway with all you regular readers of this blog. 3 lucky winners will each win a copy of Chicken Soup for the Soul Say Goodbye to Stress!
Join using the Rafflecopter below. This Book Sweepstakes runs from 17 June until the 30th. Open to everyone who has a US shipping address. Good luck mums! 🙂
Our Father’s Days are mostly spent at home, or in the mall {when we still have enough energy left after a long week}, or depending on the weather, we’d usually spend the afternoon in the memorial park to visit my parents’ graves. This particular Father’s Day will be no exception. We might flock to the cemetery this afternoon provided the weather will cooperate. The little man will have loads of playtime running around the grassed-lawn + just have a good time with his tito + titas.
I know most of you will find something more worthwhile with your time. Some would probably go out on a Father’s Day date with their dads or their husbands, + would try out those special offer dinner buffets in hotels + restaurants. Some would probably even book a reservation in one of those plush hotels in Makati City to give the most important men in their lives a treat on their special day. Some others would have scoured the world wide web for promos weeks before on which buffet to try or which hotels to check out. If I were still working in the city, I’d probably book myself + the little man to one of those hotels so we can have a relaxing + lazy Sunday afternoon. + if my Papa were still around, I would’ve saved enough to book a 2-day accomodation, complete with massage + spa services + 5-course meal, for him + my Mama to enjoy. Oh well, it would be impossible to do that now but it sure is enough consolation to know that he is in a better place now, together with my Mama. Am sure he is having a blast celebrating Father’s Day up in heaven.
For those who are luckier to have their fathers around on this special occasions, I’d love to know how you plan to celebrate Father’s Day. Would you be checking out one of those Makati hotels, too? Let me know in a comment below, right?
Anyways, happy Father’s Day to all the wonderful + hardworking father’s out there! 😀
