Celebrate with Shorts Gourmet + A Giveaway!

Mannix Pena of Shorts Gourmet always gives the most memorable presents that come in the form of Shorbs. Just look at what I got from him last Christmas.

 Now check out this his early Mother's Day present.

They're too pretty and precious to look at, I have a hard time breaking them open.

If not for the yummy Belgian chocolate-filled short bread cookies inside the Shorbs, I would probably end up keeping these for months (they last long, about a year)!

Unique, picture-pretty and yummy, Shorbs are the sort of presents you'd look forward to receiving year after year.

Thankfully, we can buy the short bread cookies year round.

Shorts Gourmet cookies are stocked at Rustan's Marketplace Rockwell, San Antonio, Century Mall, Shangri-la, Alabang, P. Guevara and Katipunan.

They come in three flavors, Choco Mist, Mocha Latte and Dark Divine.

While Short Gourmet's shortbread cookies make delicious presents, it's really the Shorbs that that take the cake. Each Shorb has 12 individually wrapped, handmade shortbread cookies inside, and I swear, are guaranteed to make anybody with a sweet tooth swoon. They just look special.     

Order this special edition Mother's Day Shorts at a reasonable time before Mother's Day,  and receive 10% OFF and FREE delivery within Metro Manila. Call 09178788818 to place your order.

Of course, to see and taste is to believe! As an extra treat to my readers, I am giving away some Shorts Gourmet treats for you to try!

A crafty project by Anika & Tristan, our hosts

And so we're back from outer space! Got in Friday, and then what a busy weekend it has been! Saturday, we met up with our friends Lawrence and Jenny at Jones the Grocer in Mandarin Gallery. Then on Sunday, we brought Berry to her first Easter Egg Hunt!

 This little bunny went Easter Egg Hunting

My friend Naomi had this brilliant idea of getting the kiddos to make their own Easter baskets out of used boxes and milk cartons, it being Earth Day the day before, after all. It was also a way to keep the little ones busy while waiting for The Hunt to start!

 This is Berry's Easter basket

After lunch, the kids finished off their baskets, and then they were off to the grounds to search for hidden eggs!

Here's Berry and I looking for more eggs, with Tristan (the Easter Egg Hunt winner), behind us

 Mommy, how many eggs do we have now?

 Honey, I don't know. Mag-outfit shot na lang tayo! 

(Here we are resting under the shade, looking disheveled after crouching and running for hidden eggs...)

Berry went home with 7 eggs and such fun memories of her first ever Easter Egg Hunt! Thanks Auntie Naomi, Uncle Anthony, Achi Anika & Ahya Tristan for inviting Berry! We had so much fun! =)

P.S. As soon as we get settled back into the swing of daily life, I promise to catch up on blog posts! I have a ton of stories to tell you, it's not even funny! Yes, I have a whole lot, and I promise all are fun! I got bloggers Lloyda Lim & Laureen Uy sharing with me their shoe closet, our LA and Vancouver vacation adventures and the sweet, delightful new friends we made, a long delayed post on our trip to the Singapore Zoo, plus more more more! Stay tuned!
