Shopwise 21st Anniversary 2100 Pesos Shopping Challenge

How often do you do your groceries? Once a month? Twice a month? Every week? When do you usually do your grocery? Most moms I know do their groceries on a weekend. It has become an integral part of their weekends, making grocery time an actual bonding time with the family. And that is also the reason why we grocery with the whole family from time to time. Some of my fondest grocery memories with my kids are eating after doing the grocery or eating inside the grocery. And there’s only one place that we can all think of, that gives us that kind of bonding/eating/grocery experience, Shopwise, ano pa nga ba.

We do really bond over food, kaya nga when checking out Shopwise 21Tastic Treats for their 21st anniversary, ang una ko talagang chineck, mga pang ulam! And to greet Shopwise Happy 21st Anniversary, I made my own challenge: Shopwise 21st Anniversary 2100 Pesos Shopping Challenge

Akala mo pang catalogue lang yung mga discounts no? Hindi mga momsh! In real life talaga yung mga discounts na makukuha. Have you seen Shopwise 21st Anniversary catalogue? Check mo na sa Shopwise Facebook Page: https://web.facebook.com/ShopwiseSupercenters/ at tandaan nyo na ang mga discount and treats na perfect sa family niyo. Ito naman ang sa amin:

Since we are doing our grocery at Shopwise Araneta Cubao, the store lay out suggests that we do our toiletries first. Can I just brag how lovely Shopwise Araneta Cubao is? The lay out is so mom friendly! And of course the fact that it offers not just grocery items is a plus plus for any shoppers. If most moms consider going to the grocery a vacation, going to Shopwise Araneta Cubao is the grandest of them all. Kumpleto kase eh, from small appliances to big ones, to clothes, to toys, and the best part, kapag pagod ka na mag grocery, pwede ka umupo at kumain inside the store. Don’t we all love that kind of break while doing the grocery.

As I have mentioned, we got to the toiletries first, toothpaste, shampoo, alcohol etc. Safeguard Soap White 3pid 175g is buy 1 and get free Safeguard White 85g. Hindi ko papalampasin yan.

Pagdating naman sa snacks, Marius got his favorite crackers and it comes with free coffee. Ayan may meryenda na si Marius, may kape pa si Mommy! Best deals talaga sa Shopwise!

This is what I am telling you about. Shopwise 21st Anniversary deals on beef. From 395 Pesos per kilo, ang beef cubes ay 355 Pesos na lang. What can you do with beef cubes? Pwede sya na pang kare-kare, pwede din pang nilaga, pero pinaka favorite ng mga kids ko is Beef Stew.

Here’s another great deal worth sharing lalo na sa mga gaya ko na momshies na wise sa pagbili ng ulam nila. Discounted pork extra lean giniling. Ito talaga binibili ko na giniling because I don’t want too much fat on our diet. We usually buy 2 kg of pork extra lean giniling.

We cook 1 kg as the usual giniling, puno ng gulay at walang sabay and use it for omelet. The other 1 kg, we pre cooked and store it para pang sahog sa mga gulay recipes like chopsuey or ginisang sayote.

At dito ako pinaka tuwa! Chicken parts buy 1 kg and get 500 grams for free! Adobo forever mga momsh! But if you are looking for chicken recipes, here’s some that I can suggest:

So how’s my Shopwise 21st Anniversary 2100 Pesos Shopping Challenge? Mga momsh lumagpas ako sa 2100! Napadami ng slight ang binili ko na chicken, beef, at pork extra lean giniling.

1K for my toiletries and some food, tapos sa meat section almost 1200. Pasok na talaga sa 2100 Pesos shopping challenge but this cake is calling my name!! Sabi nya “Mommy Pehpot, naka discount din ako! GET ME! GET ME!” Marupok ang momshie nyo pagdating sa cake at sa discount (alam nyo yan!).

But all in all, my Shopwise 21st Anniversary 2100 Pesos Shopping Challenge was really fun and rewarding (kase hello more points to my Wise card). My kumareng Peachy of The Peach Kitchen namili din sila sa Shopwise, check out the 21static treats na nabili nya!

Christmas 2019 Wish Gift List

I am trying to complete Mommy Levy 100 Blog Ideas and for Day 3, it says to share something about yourself. I actually don’t know what to share since my life is kinda an open book, or open youtube channel. What is it that you would still want to know about me? I can’t think of any! A quick glance (ok about 30 minutes haha) on my Facebook mommy group (please join if you are a Pinay mom, look for Mommy Blogger Pehpot MOMMY CLUB), and I know what I can share with you.

Something about me: Every January, I try to remind myself to start making plans for Christmas and start listing people and gift ideas.. more often than not, or actually every year, I never got the chance to. I always end up rushing my shopping and at least forget two or 3 persons. So this year, I am sharing with you my list so that I won’t forget.

Christmas 2019 Wish Gift List

Family includes my immediate family and my relatives. So far, from the past years, I have managed to perfect this list. The main reason is, we only give gifts to kids and oldies, not everyone in the family. This year, I will be trying to get everyone something (kahit mug or medyas lang!).

Friends list includes my closest friends and their kids and of course my godchildren. Hopefully this year I will be able to deliver all gifts. From past experiences, some of the gifts I prepared ends up in our storage area.

Work related list includes people I (and the Kumare Bloggers) have worked with this year. Last year, we made a lot of blunders and we were in a hurry. This year, I want it to be more personal and slow pacing. As early as now, I am already planning our route. Hear that Peachy, Badet, and Levy! haha

School list is basically teachers, close classmates, clinic, and service. Back when my kids were still studying in a smaller school, I used to give gifts to everyone because I know everyone. With the school’s size, it’s easy to be friends with everyone. Now, the kids are going to a much much bigger school, my only interaction is with the teacher and the clinic.. maybe this year I can extend it with a simple meryenda for each department. What do you think?

Community. This is the list that usually gets the least attention and most often than not, the list where I usually do the last minute Christmas shopping. I want to be more organized than that! This list includes our health care providers (Pedia, OB, and Dentist) as well as their secretaries. This list also includes personnels here in our village.

You might be wondering why it was categorized as such. It’s not about the budget but just to be organized and easier to track. So there you have it, this is something about me that I am sharing to you today.

5 Tips To Get Your Kids to Brush Their Teeth

This is probably one of the most asked questions by parents. It does not matter if they are first timers or not, this is the part where the phrase “every child is different” holds true. So really, How to Get Your Kids to Brush Their Teeth? Here are 5 Tips To Get Your Kids to Brush Their Teeth based on our experience.

Brushing should be a routine. Build up the routine of routine of brushing as early as possible and never ever slip away from the routine/schedule. When the routine is established, they will bring that as they grow older.

Use age appropriate brushing products. Ever wonder why some kids does not like brushing? The toothpaste you are using may be the culprit. Ask your pedia or dentist which toothpaste is best tasting for your kids. It also helps if the toothbrush they are using are designed with their favorite superhero or cartoon character, or as simple as in their favorite color.

Let them shop for their oral hygiene products. As mentioned above, it helps if the oral hygiene products they are using are in their fave color or fave character. To make things easier, let them shop for their own products, it makes them feel that they have a say on it and will not feel that it is something that is forced.

Count instead of singing or vice versa. Take a cue from your child. Do they love singing? Then it is ok to use a sing. If they love Math, use numbers instead. According to our dentist, it should be 10 seconds for each side:

right top front
right top back
right bottom front
right bottom back
center top front
center top back
center bottom front
center bottom back
left top front
left top back
left bottom front
left bottom back

Don’t force brushing. Take it one day at a time, one count at a time. Don’t force it but never give up. If on day 1, they will only allow you to brush their teeth up to 3 counts, on the second time, try upping the number to 5 or 6 and so on. Before you know it, your kid loves brushing as much as you wish them to.

BONUS TIP: when do you start teaching/training them how to brush their teeth? Start the earliest possible. You can actually oral hygiene as early as 4 months or when signs of teething is already showing.
