We just made a DIY clothes folding board and I am going to show you how. Folding clothes is my least favorite household chores and I know you don’t like it too. For me, it will take 2 to 5 movies before I can finish folding our clothes. It really takes a lot of time. And now that I have a new born, I don’t the luxury of watching 2 to 5 movies straight. Good thing my nephew mentioned that we can do diy clothes folding board and that folding clothes would be easier with this.. sige na nga, subukan natin.

Here’ what you need for DIY clothes folding board:

1. 3 pieces 1/8 illustration board
2. scissors
3. duct tape

DIY Clothes Folding Board

Step 1. Cut each illustration board into 2, giving you 6 pieces of 7.5 by 10 inches board.

Step 2. Put two boards together (shorter side) with at least 1 cm apart then tape it. Do this to the remaining boards, giving you 3 taped boards.

Step 3. Spread all the boards then tape the upper part together. Make sure there’s a space between each board.

And now you can start folding clothes!

I have no plans on turning this mommy blog into a food blog. It so happens that I am always angry err hungry most of the times. And just last week, I have been craving for Palabok. Not Jollibee kind of palabok or the one being sold at carinderias. HOME MADE. I want home made palabok! Palabok with lots shrimp, tinapa, chicharon and hard boiled eggs! YUMMY!!!!

But I don’t know how to cook the sauce! I have an idea but I don’t wanna dwell on it! In short, this momma is lazy again! NESTING. It’s called nesting LOL

Good thing I found this at Shopwise:

Mc Cormick Palabok Noodle and Seasoning Mix

This is around 150 PhP and according to the label, it serves 4. If you’d include the cost for shrimp, tinapa, chicharon and egg, that would be around 240.. and it serves 4!! Yummy palabok for as low as 60 PhP!

Looks really yummy right? IT IS!! The sauce is tasty. And the consistency is perfect, even the noodles. And the most important part, the ratio of the noodles and the sauce is just right. Walang sayang na noodles or sauce!

The package  includes 50 grams of McCormick Palabok Seasoning Mix and 150 grams of noodles

Here’s the instruction that can be found at the back of packaging:

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups of water
• 125 grams of shrimp, shelled and boiled
• 1 cup chicharon, crushed
• 1 pc egg, hard boiled and sliced

1. Cook noodles in a boiling water for 3 minutes. Drain and set aside.
2. Dissolve seasoning mix in 1 1/2 cups of water.
