As children get older, it can get more difficult to find the time and resources to let our kids’ imagination run wild through their creativity. You might feel that schools are spending more time on coding and not enough on arts and crafts these days. If you feel you have a budding artist in the making, here are some great ways to let them explore that side of their character at home:

Who doesn't love to receive gifts, most especially if unexpected?  This is supposed to be a Valentine Gift but it arrived late. Blame it to the local post office. But no, it doesn't matter, I always appreciate gifts. It's always the thought that counts, ayt? This gift is from Everyday Me Ph, a Valentine gift actually not for me, but for my husband. 

The summer has started and we have tons of activities lined up for the family. Days passed so fast and we wanted the kids to enjoy the school break and make the best out of summer. So as our kids grow old, they will always remember the fun we always have during summer and will pass to their kids and even their grand children.  Our efforts to give the best for our kids, help make us parents a better person as well. And how do we make the best out of summer with the kids and the whole family? I summarized and listed down below. 

Sunscreen protection is something I make sure me and my family wear every time we go out in the sun. Even it's not sunny outside, I guess it has become my routine. And when it comes to sunblock protection especially for my kids, I only use Human Nature Safe Protect for Kids Mineral Sunscreen. What made me try this sunblock protection is it is 100% natural. So I know it is 100% safe and that is what moms would love to use for their kids.

And, strangely, it is something that most of us mommies want our children to get - chicken pox is much safer if caught in childhood than if caught later in life. That being said, it can be very upsetting to see your little one in pain and discomfort from the blisters. However, there are plenty of things you can do to help make your child as comfortable as possible when they have chicken pox. To find out more, have a read of our handy guide below:

Image Author: Flickr Making your own wedding invitations is a wonderful idea. You can keep a sample in your wedding memory box/scrapbook, and feel proud when you tell people you made them yourself. It helps you to add another personal touch to your wedding and express your personality as a couple better.

A family room addition is one of the best home additions you can make. As long as improvements are comparable to other homes in your neighborhood, you can count on a return up to 64 percent of the addition costs when you sell your home.  On average, a good size family room, 18 feet by 25 feet, can cost you as much as $85,000 depending on materials you choose. However, a family room addition will cost considerably less per square foot than an average kitchen, bathroom or laundry room addition since it doesn't typically include plumbing fixtures or large appliances. 

Well for today, I am going to share a review about something I don't personally use. Because this is a bathe essential used by my hubby. For mommies out there, who decides when it comes to your husband's bathe essentials? My husband doesn't care which brand to use when it comes to his bath soap. I don't know why but for him, all soaps are just the same with performance and all the benefits. I can buy him any brand of soap and he doesn't mind at all. Just last month, I had him try this ALFA-1 Antibacterial Body Soap. This whitening and antibacterial soap is specifically formulated for men to meet their daily needs. Most men are active which makes them sweat a lot and with the presence of bacteria produce unpleasant odor.

Happy Easter everyone! My son is not feeling well so were not able to go out and watch 'Salubong', but it's okay. Despite of his cough and colds, he still managed to draw something for Easter.

When you are looking for a good orthodontist for your children, you should always do your homework.

Hayan Korea is a Korean beauty brand initially introduced here in the Philippines three years ago and they already have branches in some of our major shopping malls. I have actually tried some of their cosmetics products and they deliver pretty well.  Since last year, I have indulged myself in using body scrubs because of it's many skin benefits. I use body scrubs once or twice a week to exfoliate and achieve softer skin.

Photo source As parents, we know all too well the struggle of getting our little ones to eat their greens. Many kids are fussy eaters and are picky about what they will and won’t eat, which makes it difficult to incorporate healthy snacks into their diet. Even when you have been giving your little one healthy snacks since they were tiny, there may still come a time when they refuse to eat anything green. Don’t worry, this is normal, all kids go through stages. However, as a mom, when your child refuses to eat healthy foods it can be worrying. Especially, if, like me, you are an organic mommy . But what can you do? Is there any way you can encourage your tots to eat their fruits and veggies?
