Bella will be turning two years old next month. As I was looking at her old pictures, I saw this Hello Kitty Collection Set her Ninang Guada has given her as a baptismal gift. The collection includes 2 sets of hello kitty pajamas and shirts and bib; a  grooming set (hair brush and comb), baby feeding set, and a milk organizer. All these items have been very useful for Bella especially now that she is getting bigger. These Hello Kitty sets are very durable and comfortable to use. It has been almost two years but everything still looks like brand new except of course on the pajama which has become [...]

Bella don’t see a lot of  horses except on her animal books. At her age, she can already name and identify some animals which I find very amazing since I don’t really spend much time to teach her about it. Her exposure to domestic animals like cats, dogs, chickens has helped her a lot but I don’t understand at all how she has become so fond of horses. I think it started when she saw the real horse for the first time during the Blog Weekend Bootcamp in Malagos Garden Resort  last year. She was so happy and very excited to ride the horse. I am also happy to see [...]

It is still summer and it is dang hot in this part of the world! I usually worry about my little girl’s skin asthma as rashes on her skin become very visible especially when she starts scratching it. As much as I want to keep her in an air-conditioned room,  I believe it is not that healthy for her and at the same time practical for us considering how expensive the electricity is nowadays. Even if we can afford to pay the electric bills, I am sure that Bella wouldn’t want to be confined in her room for the whole day. So to keep this little girl at ease, Mommy [...]

At 58, my mother still dreams big. She would oftentimes talk about her big plans in life and all the great things that she could possibly achieve. I admire her zeal to succeed for I know that if we will just support her, she can eventually make it big. I have nothing against her achieving her dream but at her age, I would rather let her stay at home at enjoy life. Every individual have different views about success but for me, being successful is not measured by how much money and investment you acquired  but with what kind of relationship you have with your family. I wanted my parents [...]

Flying with kids, and especially babies and toddlers, can fill even the calmest parents with dread. As adults flying without children, the sight of a small child in the queue means one thing, a noisy and potentially stressful trip. It doesn’t have to be that way though. Of course there are unavoidable tears and tantrums but keep these to a minimum by planning ahead and following some of the tips below. Forward Plan Don’t rush. There’s nothing worse than trying to get ready and out the door with kids in any kind of hurry. Get the panic packing and hustle out the way the day or night before you’re due [...]

In her more than two years of existence, Bella has been hospitalized four times already. Usually, she was only required to stay overnight in the hospital then the next day her Pediatrician would advise official discharge because her vital signs and everything about her health is already normal. That has been the case for the first three admissions but the last one which was before her 2nd birthday last 2012, was really challenging. Bella needed to stay in the hospital for 2 nights and 3 days for her to be properly observed. Despite her condition, this little girl has been very active as if she is not sick at all. [...]
