Making Santan Bracelets: A Fun Day at Mom’s Garden

We spent a wonderful day at my parents’ house recently.
‎
‎While we were there, the kids were busy running and playing outside.
‎
‎One thing that caught their attention was these bright red santan flowers growing in my mom’s garden.
‎



‎
‎When my siblings and I were little, we used to make all sorts of things out of santan... We make bracelets, necklaces, and even flower crowns.
‎
‎So that morning, I decided to teach the kids how to do it too.
‎
‎It was so easy and fun.
‎
‎After making it, they tried wearing it.
‎

‎It’s just a simple game, but it gives so much joy... just like when I was their age. 😍🫶
‎
‎Also while walking around the garden, we noticed my mom’s pineapple plant.
‎

‎It had two new fruits growing! 😍
‎
‎They look healthy, though still small and not yet ready to harvest.
‎
‎After enjoying the garden sights, we went inside to prepare for lunch. There was plenty to prepare like fried fish, mango salad, and chicken tinola.
‎

‎We sat down together and shared the meal.
‎
‎And that was our day... simple and filled with happy moments. 💛
‎
‎Until my next memories...
‎
‎Thanks for the visit! Have a lovely day. Buh-bye. 💗🌸
