STROLLING AT SM WITH FAMILY: A MOMENT TO KEEP AND CHERISH

“Children will not remember you for the material things you provided, but for the feeling that you cherished them.”—Richard L. Evans

Going on trips to some places for bonding is one way to have a stronger family relationship. A way of creating memories to cherish while enjoying the opportunity to have a joyful and optimistic outlook on life. It is also a time to communicate with them and have a chance to know them better as our children while they grow with individual differences. To discover their like and dislikes as part of their personality.

It's been a long time since we've been going to the mall with them. So last week after attending an important event in the city, we decided to drop by SM Mandaue. We wanted to let our children experience strolling around the mall. They were very happy upon hearing about our plans. We told them in advance that we would just buy something for snacks there. We don't want them to request something we can't afford yet. We will have our window shopping only or stroll to refresh and relax our minds for a quiet sometimes. So in this blog, I will share some of these places we came across while strolling and having our bonding.

JCO Doughnut

JCO is one of my favorite doughnuts. Every time I visit SM, I make sure that I will not forget to visit there to buy my favorite doughnuts. The one with peanut toppings. Even If I felt tired sometimes of falling in line, it didn't matter. I just sacrificed to satisfy my cravings for this product. It has a perfect taste for me that nothing can compare.

Candy Corner

When my youngest child visits a mall she always searches for a candy corner to buy chocolates. She is a chocolate lover. Even if I always discourage her, she never stops. She always felt happy while eating. Looking at various shapes, colors, and textures of chocolates at Candy Corner, she never leaves the store without purchasing chocolates in various flavors and shapes.

Pasalubong/Native Center

My second child loved fashion earrings and other accessories. So, dropping by the Native Section or the Pasalubong Center was our next stop. There were displays of native bags, wallets, and other belongings. There were also various accessories for fashion like earrings, necklaces, jewelry sets, and many more.

Moshi Manju Stall

Moshi Manju is one of my favorite snacks when I'm in the City. I always brought this sweet Korean cake as my Pasalubong Aside from JCO, this delicious snack will never be missed when I'm at SM. You must fall in line with buying this little sweet cake since many Cebuano liked this as their snack because it's very affordable.

Bench Boutique

While strolling we came across the Bench Boutique. Captured the eyes of my 3 kids were the photos of their idols in front of the Bench. They were models of Bench. Without any doubt, they took a pose with the photograph.

World of Fun

My youngest child wants to play and have fun before we go home. They want to experience various games and have fun at the World Fun.

While waiting for our rented car to park outside the mall, they bought ice cream. There were several flavorings and it was very delicious but the price was shocking. Just to satisfy their craving we bought just enough for them. In a few minutes, the driver called us for the ride. So we went outside the mall and took our ride to go home.

That's all for now. Thank you for reading and supporting this content.
