Family Bonding really matters to me, usually we do it on a weekend in our old house of my parents house.   We make sure to have dinner together with my siblings.


This time I will treat my mother in a shopping spree of course in SM City Manila as they do their 3 Day Sale with a 3 Way Save. This is my early Mother's day treat for her as she is always there by my side and help me with whatever problem I have.  She treats me as "Panganay na bunso" youngest daughter although I am really her eldest daughter.   Hehehe Love it!



Since Sunday is a Family day, I'm with my hubby and kids together my mother. First stop, was a lunch in Yoshinoya. We have an early lunch because the kids are already hungry and we need to have a fully loaded tummy to face the sale here and there inside the mall.  The kids love their food at the resto.


Next stop is the SM Department Store, we are all ready to look for the best buy for us. I told my mother to pick the sandals that she likes, as I have mentioned before that it will be my treat for her.  Lots of shoes, sandals for the ladies as well as for the kids are on sale.  Shoppers look for their best shoes/sandals that fits for them and with a good price.




















My mother was really amazed with what she saw, "This is 50% off, amazing!" my mother said.  Until she got the red sandals of course with 50% off from the price of P600.00 down to P299.00. Isn't amazing?












Well, my mother is happy with her red sandals.  So, I want my kids to be happy also. I decided to buy cds for them, they love watching movies, of course those movie for kids.  My eldest son chose lots of CDs but I told him to pick only 2 CDs, since it's a buy one take one.  So, my eldest son have the CDs with the title "Nemo" and "Cars 2". Guess what, when we got home, they immediately asked their daddy to watch those movies, they are so happy with their new CDs.


Oh, what a tiring day, and happy moment together with my family to have a bonding on a sale at SM City Manila.



It was a tiring day but before we go back home, I treated them first with milk tea choices at SIP and a bread from Salazar Bakeshop all located at SM Foodcourt.  It lessen the feeling of tiredness.


Now, when we are about to leave the mall, lots of people pass by and keep on coming at SM City Manila. I guess it will be until night time that most shoppers will spend their Family bonding at the mall sale.

Another great weekend sale!  Loosen that sweaty feeling of our recent weather and enjoy the weekend with the 3 Day Sale of SM City Manila.  I know this is a short notice but hey better late than never.   As usual as ever selected items are at a bargain price of  70% off.  One more thing shoppers can have a chance to some cool price which i would lovely want to have for our future house (hahaha).   Shoppers will also get a chance to win 1 of 3 Devant 50" Smart 3D TV.  Isn't it a good way to enjoy shopping!

Most of the mommy like me loves shopping.  We do shopping for the nth time already for our family, specially for our kids.

On my part, since I am a full time mommy I usually think first the needs of my kids and of course my hubby, since he is the one working for us I definitely prepare to buy things for him.  But this time, he wants me to buy things for me, I think a post valentine treat, hahaha. I love it, and very thankful.


Since it is also a family bonding, we went to SM Sta mesa with my kids. Guess what, my eldest son help me choose what I am going to buy. Lots of people busy on choosing what dress, shoes, make up and other things that you can see at SM Departmet store.


I saw some kids also happy on shopping together with their family. My hubby is carrying our youngest son, at first, while my eldest son is with me trying to find best dress and sandals for me. Oh, my son is already a grown up now and he's the one who's helping me with the shopping.  So, I am a kind of shoppers that will look for the sale with a good quality. Find here, find there. There are times my son said, "Wow, that's beautiful Mommy". Even inside the fitting room, my son is with me.


Until we found a dress, I fitted the black and the one color. You know what, he chose the white one. Well, well, my son is now my fashion designer, no more hubby anymore. My hubby used to be my fashion designer.

So we grab the white one. Next stop, the sandals. I want the flat one, it's comfy and cute. This time I choose the black sandals and it's sale. From 450.00 down to 299.00. isn't nice?


Now, I realize, I can do the shopping with my son only, hahaha. With the Blouse and Sandals that I brought amounting to less than 1,000. What a great deal.



So mommies, try to get also the suggestion of your kids in doing your shopping, its really fun. Yours truly done with my shopping, I hope this will not be the last shopping for me, hahaha.
