Teething Jewelries

I love wearing fancy necklace from time to time. It’s a great way to change my look from simple to glam. But whenever I have a new baby, I have to stop wearing fancy necklace, for some reason I don’t know, the babies love munching on my necklace. I also heard from friends that their babies are like that, they prefer the necklace over their teething toys. I guess that’s how babies are, they always love to munch on what their moms are wearing.

It’s not safe to let your kids munch on your jewelry, there is a risk that it can fall apart and that the baby might swallow it and choked. Aside from that, those jewelries are really not for munching, it has germs and also might contain materials that are harmful when put into mouth. So what can we do? ditch the necklace? of course not. We can still look glam and pretty with our necklace and not worry about the kids. That, we have to thank amber jewellery, a line of interesting products that are non toxic and eco- friendly. Their teething necklace is the perfect accessory for moms who have babies. And knowing that this product is eco-friendly, I think I know what to give to my expectant friends this Christmas.

Little Tikes Cozy Cottege Playhouse Review (and other Little Tikes products)

It’s a long drive from here and I even found rv repair stations along the way.. The reason why we went and drove all the way to Pasong Tamo (Little Tikes Showroom)is to buy the little girl her dream playhouse and some Little Tikes items. Before we went there, I already listed and computed what we will buy. Our list includes Little Tikes Cozy Cottege Playhouse, Little Tikes Junior Activity Gym and and Little Tikes Whale Teetter Totter. We all got it for 30% off the original price.. all those under 20,000 PhP.

Little Tikes Whale Teetter Totter is a very fun totter. The kids love that seesaw feel.. but what they love the most is the fact that, not only 2 kids can enjoy it, in fact it can carry almost all of them:

I am actually planning to buy another one for the kids.. maybe after the Holiday.. we need some clearing up to do to make space for another one. We got Little Tikes Whale Teetter Totter for only PhP2,799.82 (Before PhP 3,999.75)

Little Tikes Junior Activity Gym turns out not just an activity gym for them but also serves as their “tambayan”:

I wanted to get the bigger one but it’s a bit more expensive and needs more space.. we settled for this because it’s perfect for Sati and Chico and can still be enjoyed by the big boys.

Little Tikes Junior Activity Gym is very easy to assemble, you just have to be very keen on following the instruction on the manual.

Little Tikes Cozy Cottege Playhouse is a bit hard, uh no.. make that really hard. You will need an automatic screw driver, a hammer and a lot of patience. And I am just so glad that husband had so much patience that day.. that’s how much he love that pretty princess. An hour after trying to assemble it with just a screw driver on hand, he gave up and went to a hardware near us.. we bought a Black and Decker cordless screw driver and a hammer. After that, everything went from hard to easy peasy. But it still took 3 persons to assemble it. The plastics are really hard and heavy.. but oh boy! all the effort was worth it. The smile on our princess and our boys were priceless..

And here’s how our living room looked:

That’s a rubber mat I bought at Homeworks (Ever Gotesco) and it is really sturdy.. of course not as thick as the one in the playhouses inside malls but it’s really nice for home use. The rubber mat I bought for 500 PhP (4 pcs).

*After we bought the playhouse, we realized she also needs play pretend toys such as plates, utensils, pots and of course play pretend food.. now we know what kind of toys she really wants, and yes Barbie is not included on her list.

Events Overload

It’s funny how some people would say I attend a lot of events or that I have events here and there when in fact I don’t breathe events. I admit I really do enjoy attending one but I am not the type of blogger who will jump to every events they can get.. I am still a mother above all this.. so I choose what events I attend to..

I usually don’t do events in far far away land.. not unless a service will be provided.. I don’t do late night events.. as much as possible, I say no to weekend events and I don’t do events that are tobacco or alcohol related. I am choosy, yes I am.. so I just don’t get it why some people would say madami akong events.. last time I checked, this blog is still a mommy/parenting blog (though there will come a time that I will post about engagement ring designers.. this is still a mommy blog).. not an events blog

I am not against people who breathe events… it’s their choice and I am sure most of them are not a mom like me who needs to take care of the kids and run a household.
