Family bonding is a must! Yes and it is truly yes, it is a time for you to enjoy the company of your kids and your hubby. Right now, we, parents are so busy with work and other stuff while kids are busy in school. So it is really hard giving time to each other but of course we need to have it, it is one of those moments where we treasure memories.
Unfortunately, as much as we wanted to be with the kids this particular time is our "We-time", for me and my hubby. So basically our attended event which is the Cream-O Flix Fest is an event where we spent some time together, you need to give time also to your partner because most of the time our bonding moment is always with our kids.

These are some of the highlight that happened during Cream-O Flix Fest;
CreamOholics enjoyed a unique bonding experience as Cream-O hosted an afternoon of outdoor movie watching and cookie munching with the Cream-O Flix Fest, held recently at the Quezon City Memorial Circle.

It's a Family Movie Marathon
The Cream-O Flix Fest kept everyone entertained throughout the exciting day with three movies in a row. Kids and kids-at-heart watched "Minions" while teens sang their heart out with "Pitch Perfect 1". Capping off Cream-O's first-ever outdoor movie marathon event was the well -loved romantic-comedy "50 First Dates".
More than watching the family-oriented flicks, CreamOholics indulged in their favorite Cream-O cookies and even made their own personalized cookies in the "Cream-Ofied Creations" booth.

Personalize your Cream-O

The Cream-Ofied Creations booth let Creamoholics jazz-up their well-loved cookies in four easy steps: choose, dip, sprinkle, and drizzle. First, they chose their favorite Cream-O Variant (Vanilla, Choco Fudge, Deluxe, Crinkles, Chocolate Chip, Cookies 'n Cram and Choco 'n Berries and dipped it in rich chocolate (milk, dark or white), peanut butter or whipped cream. They added extra color, texture and flavor to their creations with a wide variety of toppings, and even drizzled onsome delicious chocolate, caramel or strawberry syrup.
Aside from the flicks, guests participated in other fun activities, such as the "Unlock the Popcorn Stash" and "Guess the Movie" trivia game. They also captured moments and personalized their images through the "I Love Cream-O" photo booth. Furthering the excitement were live acoustic band performances and raffle draws, where lucky winners won Fujifilm Instax mini cameras and Robinsons Gift Certificates.
Since it was a weekend event, most families presents have their families with them for a bonding moment while munching those sweet varieties of Cream-O. I personally like the Cream-O Chocolate Chip Cookies while my kids love the Choco 'n Berries, my hubby loves the Choco Fudge.
Remember that our family does a movie night every weekend, so when we went home kids are already waiting for us to set up the TV and the movie. This time we have the Cream-Os with us. Aside from our usual crackers and chips we now have a cream-o party and we're enjoying it with our kids.

So for the moms out there, our followers, our supporters or you just simply saw our blog, better try this varieties of Cream-O and I really would say that your kids won't have any biscuit/cookies fatigue. They'll surely love the Cream-O and feel the #HappinessofCreamOholics.

Jollibee is my kids's favorite mascot and of course the main thing in Jollibee, none other than the foods. So when they've heard about the Jollibee Family Bee Day Grand Picnic they were very excited to attend this one of a kind event. One part of the show that they definitely want to see is the performance of the whole Jollibee Gang.

“We are very excited to mount an event of this magnitude that celebrates the Filipinos' love for bonding over good food. We are very happy with the turn out and pleased to see everyone enjoying the company of other people whom they treat like family. Talagang dito sa Jollibee, ang sarap maging pamilya,” said Jollibee vice-president for Marketing Harvey Ong.


Unfortunately, right before the Bee Day my hubby and my youngest son got sick, so my eldest son, Maki and I were just the ones who attended the event. In replacement for the slot of my hubby and my son, Gelo, we invited my brother, Justin and my nephew, Raphael to be with us on that Family Bee Day.

Nothing beats Family Bonding, ever!  It is really one of the great time to enjoy being together.  Since our kids are fond of playing in an open area, we decided to have an outdoor activity which is just about 30 to 45 minutes away from our place and that's at Quezon City Memorial Circle. 



Before this bonding activity, I have learned something that we, parents should have in mind when making a promise to kids.  Never make a promise that you can't keep.  It will only break their heart and that's where the trust issue becomes a problem.



There was instance that happened before we did our Family Bonding.  It was an event I'm supposed to be invited and since the event is for kids I immediately told to my kids about the event and that they are coming with me to play.  I assure them that they're going to enjoy it very much.  Then the misfortune happened, I received an information that I wasn't included in the list of bloggers for the event.  Bad and it is really bad because I have already told it to the kids and they are expecting it.



So, it is very hard on my side to tell to the kids that event they were expecting won't happen.  At first they were really grumpy but with the help of my husband, we manage to talk it over with the kids and instead of that event we will just go to another place where they can play as well.  And that's what I'm sharing right now.



Oh well, so much with and let's change the topic anyway.  So, there we go got our feet on Quezon City Circle and let our kids play in the slides, walk around and run in the playground. There's so much happiness felt on that very moment, specially when the kids makes little glances at you and make a big smile back while they are playing. What a precious moment!



After playing, we rent a bicycle-sidecar. Here is the video....




Look at the picture they are so hungry, hahaha. Of course mommy brought some foods for them.

Here are some of the pictures....

So mommies, how's your weekend with your family?
