Mommy Pehpot’s 24-Week Money Challenge + Giveaway!!

Inspired by the 52-week money challenge going viral on Facebook, I made my own money challenge..Mommy Pehpot’s 24-Week Money Challenge.

The 52-week money challenge does not work for.. err I usually have my allowance every 15th and 30th of the month.. that’s why my money challenge is set every two weeks.. every payday!

And to help me accomplish this money challenge, I’m planning to buy a coin bank today.. found some really nice and cute coin banks at Clipper Giftshoppe (san ba ang branch ng Clipper dito sa Pasig? Sarado na ang branch sa Ever Gotesco eh)

Who’s with me on this challenge?

Let’s have a mini giveaway!!!

I will be giving away 2 coin banks:

Design may vary but I promise it’s as cute as the one on the photo 🙂

a Rafflecopter giveaway

The giveaway will run until February 7 and will announce winner on the same day.. and to jumpstart your money challenge, I’ll be including 300 PhP on the coin bank for the weeks missed (January 15 and January 30), sure naman before Feb 15 nasa winners na ang coin bank nila 🙂

Recommended Baby Apps for New Parents

Some of the things I wish I knew/ learned or existed when I first had a baby:

I wish I knew about sling and baby wearing back then. I only learned about the use of sling during my 3rd baby. I can do so many things while wearing the baby.. laundry, wash the dishes (though not that frequent because I really hate doing this)..clean the house etc.. etc.. etc.. and shopping was easy!

I wish I knew about fashionable and stylist maternity clothes back then..

I wish I knew about nursing tops and the likes..

And I wish Baby Apps for New Parents or parents with new baby existed back then..

Using Baby Connect, you can record the feeding, nursing, naps, diaper changes, your baby milestones..and not just that, you can also record the baby’s mood, temperature and the games your baby is playing. This is really helpful in tracking your baby’s growth and changes. It will also help new parents in assessing their babies and see if there is something wrong with the baby. With the use of this app, you can easily target the problem and can come up with a solution/ remedy based on the behavior of the baby.

2. Baby Pack & Go / Baby Travel

“I swear I have that feeling that we forgot something”

-that’s my usual monologue every trip.. may nakalimutan ako alam ko.. nafi feel ko talaga! if Baby Pack & Go and Baby Travel existed before, I could have save myself from worrying too much!

Baby Pack & Go and Baby Travel is like your mini travel organizer. You can access ready made packing list and you can create different for multiple children! Hmmm.. I think I will have to give this app a try.. specially that this year, we plan to travel more!

3. Guys Guide to the Delivery Room
