The Ranchers Christmas Party (DQ Black Forest Blizzard Cake Review)

The Ranchers.. just came out after the party.. coined by Fedhz.. rants+lunch= ranch. Ranchers meaning people who ranch..

Last December 29, we had a small gathering, we can call it a post Christmas Party. Nicquee and Kat brought something for the kids:

We had beef stew and tempura for lunch. Pasta and tacos for meryende but the highlights of our get together (well except for ranting and talking about our very interesting lives) is what we had for dessert:

We lall stopped talking and enjoyed every bite of this treat. It’s ice cream inside and cookie crunch on the middle. The cherries on top are so good, the kids can’t get enough of it. The only downside of this cake is when it starts to melt and slicing becomes hard (er soft.. OK difficult). You need to place it on the freezer to return to its frozen state.. but soft or frozen, it is equally god and the cookie crunch is a great twist for a cake made of ice cream.

Here’s what my first comment on the photo:

Dairy Queen Black Forest Blizzard is available in most DQ outlets (check their FB page here for the branches). Price is 750 PhP.

Next month.. I wonder what will be on our menu.. hmm maybe we’ll try DQ’s Oreo Blizzard Cake or Kitkat Blizzard Cake.. (together with lechon? haha)

See you again Ranchers!

Schooling The Generation Z

Generation Z is the term used for people who were born from early to mid 90’s to the present. This is the generation that practically grew up using the internet. With the technology being very accessible to this generation, it is not surprising that they think and act differently from the other past generations. And for us parents, it really is difficult dealing with the generation gap and the challenge of schooling this very advance generation.

A very intimate discussion/lunch gave us a glimpse on how Reedley International School deals with the generation Z. And one of their school policy is No Bully Policy. Their goal is to the school to have a zero bully incident…

Here are the other moms who attended the mini gathering..

Smart Parenting Meet and Greet

Last December, I got to attend the Smart Parenting Meet and Greet event. It’s a small gathering of Smart Parenting moms together with the people behind SP. The event was held at Richmonde Hotel in Eastwood and attended by 30+ moms who are all avid SP readers.

Mia Fausto-Cruz, Editor-in-chief of SP magazine, welcomed the mommies. Relationship Coach, Ms. Aileen Santos shared with us a study done by Marau Emoto to water and the crystals formed on its frozen states. His expriments involved using good and bad words on the water. Some he labelled ‘You make me sick, I will kill you’ and the result was fascinating:

‘You make me sick, I will kill you’ ‘Thank you’

Ms Aileen Santos demonstrated ow powerful words are and how it affects our kids.

It was a very informative meet and greet event.. giving us a head’s up on how we should handle our kids. Smart Parenting sure knows how to help us in being a smart moms 🙂
