Banana Mallows Grahams

Image
When the kids showed an unusual sweetness and endearment, I know that's an indication that they need something , Hahahah. Don't get me wrong because my two kids were born the sweetest kiddos in the world but the level of sweetness they show when they have requests or asking for a favor to me is just soo cute. Most especially when they wanted me to prepare them grahams.

#‎notogermseverywhere‬ with @Hygienix Hand Spray

Image
I make sure I always have an antibacterial like alcohol or hand sanitizer within reach all the time. When I am at my office, I usually use alcohol. But when I go out and I need an antibacterial with me to put in my bag, I don't really go for ordinary alcohol because sometimes it leaks and mess all my stuff. I cannot go out without my antibacterial because when you are outside, commuting going to malls and public places, your hands tend to gather germs and most of the time you don't have the chance to wash your hands because water is not always accessible. So one of my staple is this Hygienix Anti-Bacterial Hand Spray.

What I hate most about getting and applying documents for employment are the long hours of waiting falling in line to multiple windows and wait again for the release. I am a very busy mom and the long lines are very time consuming for me, I could have done more chores and work at home. If you are someone busy and prefers a lot easier way of getting all those NSO birth certificate, DFA passport, SEC Documents and GSIS help, have it all done with the service of Pilipinas Teleserv.  DFA Passport Appointment System You can pay for your document requests using VISA or MasterCard. Your documents will be delivered anywhere in the Philippines within 3 working days. It’s that easy.

Can Braces Damage Gums, Teeth, or Roots?

Image
Braces are important to having healthierr teeth and gums in the long run, but are your teeth, gums, and roots actually at risk for damages while wearing them? It is true that braces are responsible for “reconstructing” the overall placement of your teeth. Bones, teeth, roots, and gums will be affected, but this is temporary and sometimes necessary to achieve the ultimate goal of having straighter teeth and a proper bite.

Physical mommy activities at home added by pressure at work results to stress. That's just one of few that I normally experience on a daily basis, and there are actually more that also sums up to stress as well. At times, I stop and listen to music or watch movies online to reduce the stress but that is just for some sort of short hours then the stress strikes back again. And when my head hits pillow, I constantly think about how I will manage to survive another jam-packed day soonest I woke up.

Getting the Best Electronic Piano

Image
Electric piano is one of the most common musical instruments people would love to learn. I have actually tried to learn playing some basic music using the electric piano I have bought 5 years ago. Playing piano actually makes you forget time because for me it somehow calms my spirit and relieves stress. Two years ago, I gave the electronic piano as a gift to my niece since she'd been wanting to have one. For me, it is nice to see her interested in playing music and when it eventually develop overtime, then that's a beautiful talent. I know it is too early to tell but we were all excited to. Piano players she watch online inspires her so much.  Right now, she could play almost all the songs she has on her manuals and she plays fantastic. So this coming holiday, my sis and I are planning to get another digital piano but this time of great quality. We have been looking around since last week. And yesterday, we already found the best electronic piano for her. I can only imag

I have been trying out different acne products because as all of my regular readers know, this stressed momma has been suffering from acne problem for the past 7 months.

My First Ever #Blogapalooza Experience

And this kind of event is kinda new to me because I can count on my fingers how many event I have attended.

#DIY: Glittered Jar

Image
Another DIY Project that I did last month was this glittered jar. Obviously, I have lots of late posts and this is one of the bunch. Moving on, as I have revealed in my recent blog post , I am currently working on my home office and this is one of the few ideas that came in mind. I thought I need something to put my makeup brushes into or maybe my pens. So, I came up with this glittered jar and the idea is from Pinterest. You can easily do this glittered jar because all the materials we need are as simple as the instruction.

I Got Paid by Sponsored Reviews!

Image
17 months ago, I remember myself searching Google on ways how to earn online as a blogger. Ofcourse, the search shows up thousands of ways and websites to help me find what I was needing. I was struggling that time to discover   which is legit and not. I ended up signing up new accounts for each websites not knowing some of them were just pretending to help but the truth is they will just make a profit out of you. That's how I started learning which led me to create a strategy how to recognize the real ones from fakes.

LED Lights for Your Car

In proper car maintenance, it is also important to make sure your lights are properly functioning for safety reasons. This includes head lights, tail/bumper lights and interior lights. Most car owners prefer LED for practicality since LED lights have longer life than filament bulbs. Also, they are energy-efficient that even the engine is off, the lights remain on. Not all cars come with LED lights when bought. However, you can easily replace the originally installed lights with LED. There is a proper LED lights for each part of the car. If you will check   xtralights video gallery , you can get ideas on all the different styles, sizes and colors that are ideal for your car.

Its Play Time! #DIY Community

Image
It was another lazy afternoon for my two boys. They rarely touch their toys anymore and they rather put themselves infront of computer and PSP. That is something I really cannot condone. I prefer them doing physical activities than lurking on gaming stuff in game consoles or in computer. I thought of one good diy project to do that can draw back their interest in playing their toy cars. And here's the idea I came up with.

Part 1: Setting Up My Home Office

Image
It has been almost two years since I settled into being a WAHM. The main reason behind leaving my job in corporate office is to give way to my full time breastfeeding to my youngest.

Best Bridal Lingerie to Choose

Whenever I encounter the word bridal, it just brings back alot of great memories. And now that few of my friends are about to tie a knot before this year ends, I am looking forward to find great gifts to give them. I wanted something classy and tasteful.

Splurge Without Breaking the Bank

Image
When I hear someone says shopping is stressful, I seriously object. Shopping is indeed one of the best medicine for most girls who are depressed. To clear things out, it is actually the budgeting that makes it a dilemma most especially if your resources is limited. I couldn't agree more when they say budgeting is a real stumbling block and a difficult task for a mommy like me. However, here's a reality check: It doesn't have to be a scientist to be good at it. Here's a summary of how you can stretch your budget when shopping to make ends meet.

Vitamin C to My Healthier Kids #Ceelin #Unilab

Image
I know complete nutrition is the key for my kids to stay strong and away from sickness. That is why I make sure to serve them nutritious foods everyday. However, we still need a help of Vitamins we can get from food supplements to make sure they are getting the sufficient vitamins they need for their age and capacity. For the past three months, my two kids have been changing food supplements. I used to always request our Pedia to change my kid's food supplements right after they got sick. Lately, they are very prone to cough and sinusitis. I can no longer count how many times it happened that my kiddos woke up with cough or runny nose.

Protect Your Kids From Mosquitoes #greencross #iwasdengue

Image
Dengue is a viral disease one can get from a mosquito bite. It is pretty known here in Philippines how one person can get the disease and how worst it can get. There is always high number of Dengue victims during rainy season. These mosquitoes often breed in stagnant waters which everyone should become aware of. Our health is important so you should be aware that prevention is always better than cure. To secure my family from this scary disease, I make sure to perform cleanliness not only inside our home but also the surroundings. Make sure there is no breeding habitat anywhere inside and outside your home or even in most visited places.

Emergency Kit for Children

Image
I don't assume for something bad to happen to my son. As a mom, I just wanted my son to be ready and equipped all the time aside from being at the best condition ever. It happened one time that he hurt himself when he was on his way home, he got tripped and his knees fell into a big rock which left him a big scar. On times like that, an emergency kit could make a big help. It kinds of giving me a peace of mind knowing he has emergency kit accessible which is always inside his bag all the time.

Floral Designed Room

Image
I visited a friend's house last week. After an almost never ending chit chats, she showed me her room. I never got the chance to take a photo of it maybe because I was so overwhelmed with it, but it is a floral inspired room. At first glance, it looks simple but when you stepped inside and tried to look at the details, you will really appreciate the real beauty of this room and of the person in it. It's simple but any girl would adore the room and would love a sleep over because of the very girly atmosphere and it looks adorable and gorgeous.  Here are some cute ideas for those who are looking to create a floral designed room.

Chopsuey Recipe for Picky Eater Kids #PorkSavor

Image
Whenever I serve veggies, duck faces are very familiar around the dining table. Yup, they are some sort of picky eaters when it comes to veggies. Although sometimes, I can make them eat veggies without bribing. But the thing is, they don't enjoy their foods. That is one big challenge for a mom like me who likes to see her kids enjoy the food and see smiles on their faces at each bite. One of the best approach I learned is never pressure the kids and serve a variety of brightly colored foods. And also, to achieve the taste that kids would love, use a seasoning that can help bring out the tastiness of my home-cooked dishes.

Another thing that my son is so excited about in going to school everyday is his  baon . I pretty much could relate on that, lol.
