Pampers “Less Palit, More Sulit” Challenge

Paano ang diaper routine nyo sa toddlers nyo? Tinanong ko ang mga momshies sa aking mommy group (if you are not a member yet, mag member ka na!) and majority have the same routine as ours. Diaper sa gabi hanggang umaga. Pagdating ng umaga, wait mag poop (wash thoroughly because bacteria from poop is the leading cause of UTI) then bath time na. Diaper again until mag poop ulit or pag mukhang puno na or lawlaw na ang diaper.

Basically, as most moms shared, diaper change routine is highly influenced by the lawlawness of the diaper. How often is that? Some moms shared that they use 4-6 diapers a day, kase kame we only use 2-4 Pampers a day. There’s less palit with Pampers since Pampers less lawlaw absorbs wetness from front to back!

Have you seen the WOW Diaper Showdown between Toni and Alex Gonzaga video? Dali watch nyo na para makita nyo din sa sarili nyo kung ano talaga ang sulit na diaper.

As for us, with Marius being rowdy all the time, talagang napa pa wow ako sa Pampers. Napapanood nyo naman sa daily vlog namin how active Marius is. Talon dito, takbo dito, sayaw doon, talon dito, talon doon. Alam mo kahit yung simpleng kantang “Paa, Tuhod..” sinasasamahan pa ng jumping jacks. And even with that kind of activeness, ang Pampers hindi basta basta lumalawlaw kaya hindi ako palit ng palit.

To see or better yet, to experience it, is to believe. Try doing the “Less Palit, More Sulit” Challenge from Pampers. This is how we did it. Sa Day 1, we use only ordinary diapers and on Day 2, Pampers na syempre.

Day 1, since sanay sa Pampers si Marius, kaunting lundag lang, hindi na sya comfortable at sya na mismo ang nagsasabi na palitan sya. Sabi nya may sira na daw diaper nya. Sa loob ng maghapon, naka 6 diapers kame.

Day 2 is the same as our usual, pero naka 4 na Pampers kame since madami dami ang poop time nya during Day 2.

With this challenge, kitang kita how much savings we had. Imagine 2 diapers! But what I like most about Pampers is the fact that he can move freely. Walang limitations ang movement niya since he is comfortable all through out. Less lawlaw so more galaw. Tuloy ang “Paa, Tuhod..” with matching jumping sa Pampers.

Masaya gawin tong challenge na to kasi mapapakita mo rin sa ibang moms paano sila makakasulit . Tag nyo ako pag ginawa nyo ha. Mas makakasulit ka pa kase for every purchase of Pampers, worth PHP500 in Waltermart, customer will get one raffle ticket. 15 winners will get 1 year supply of Pampers and 30 winners will get a Jollibee Kid’s Party Package. Period is Feb 1 to Feb 28.

4 Things You Need To Know About Rose Gardens

Rose flowers have been a symbol of love and beauty for as long as history has been documented. Some flowers have a distinct scent that creates a magical ambiance to those around. Watching rosebuds blossom to a full flower in your garden is quite fulfilling. While looking to have a rose flower garden of your own, you need to know the following at the very least:

1) Planting
Roses can be planted as seeds or from pruned stems. If you opt to plant seeds, you should start by soaking them in a solution of water and hydrogen peroxide. This helps them germinate better. You can then transfer them to a garden or in a container for sprouting.

The other option is to use a stem. The stem is cut from a mature rose flower plant and planted directly to the garden. You can also graft the stem on another growing rose stem to get different colored roses. You can plant roses of the same color or get creative and mix them up for a pop. There are over 100 types of roses. It is important to find out which one would work best on your garden soil. Alternatively, you could do a bit of online digging on trusted platforms for more information and ideas on how to grow your rose garden.

2) Watering
Every plant requires water to grow and do not let your roses go without water. Rose flower need to be watered regularly to avoid drying up and even enable proper growth. You can water them three times a week while growing, but once they reach maturity, you can reduce this to twice a week during summer. The plants should not be watered during winter as the ground is already wet. A well-watered rose plant blooms on time and even maintains the flower texture for longer despite the hot sun and the harsh winters.

3) Pruning
Pruning flowers is extra work. You can do it by yourself or hire the services of a professional gardener. To prune rose flowers you need to be careful to cut the pieces and stems in the right place to enable continued growth. You should prune and cut out the head during spring to encourage new shoots before winter. Using the right tools is also important to ensure you do not damage the plants. Use small shears for the small plants and loppers for the fully grown roses. However, the flowers have thorns. You should wear protective clothing to avoid getting pricked.

4) A Little Extra Care Goes a Long Way
A flower can be planted, watered, and pruned, but the very best results would require a little extra. The extra work includes keeping your roses pests free and well fed. Roses attract pests and ants due to their sweet sap. Spraying fungicides and pesticides on these beauties keeps the predators away. You can also add manure to your roses. This ensures they get the right balance of nutrients for their growth and development. Fencing would also help keep the plants safe. They will not be run over by children, animals, or vehicles. During winter, it is important to keep the flowers well protected by placing a mash over them to prevent the frost from sticking on them.
