3 Reasons Why Kinder Joy Is Very Popular

Are you one of the mommies who is curious why Kinder Joy is very popular? Or why your kids like it so much? You are not alone! I also used to wonder why my kids love Kinder Joy. For every grocery trip, there’s always a budget allocated for Kinder Joy. Yes, we bring the kids with us when we do our grocery to teach them the importance of money and budgeting.

We give them a small amount of money to spend on whatever they want. It’s an effective technique to teach kids about Math, money, and responsibility. And during each trip, one of my kids will never fail to choose Kinder Joy over the many other choices available in the supermarket. Here are, from our experience, 3 reasons why Kinder Joy is very popular.

3 Reasons Why Kinder Joy Is Very Popular

Reason #1 Why Kinder Joy Is Very Popular: Kinder Joy is a delicious treat. We love chocolates!

The delicious treat inside every Kinder Joy consists of milky and cocoa cream with two crispy wafer balls. You don’t have to worry about how to eat it because it comes with a spoon.

The edible treat is made of high quality ingredients and sealed tightly so you don’t have to worry about the toy mixing up with the chocolate. That’s another aspect of Kinder Joy—it’s packaging is OCD mom-approved.

Reason #2 Why Kinder Joy Is Very Popular: Surprise Toys. Kids will never say no to TOYS, especially if it has a surprise element. And that’s what they love the most about Kinder Joy, the fun of not knowing what kind of toy they will get but with the assurance that it will be a good one.

Reason #3 Why Kinder Joy Is Very Popular: Bonding time with mommy. Kinder Joy encourages bonding time between me and my kids. I used to wonder how two great things can fit into one small egg–especially the toy part. At first, I couldn’t imagine how the toy will fit inside the small egg packaging. And then, I was surprised that the toys inside need to be assembled. Because of that, unboxing Kinder Joy and assembling the surprise toys can be a fun activity for both parents and their kids.

And if your kids love Kinder Joy so much, enhance the fun and toy experience by downloading the FREE Magic Kinder App. Every time you buy a Kinder Joy, scan the QR code found inside the instruction manual on the toy side and a toy will appear in the Magic Kinder App–it’s like having an online keepsake of all the toys your kids collected from Kinder Joy. Double the fun, right?

Mommies! It’s a free app with many educational games and activities that your kids will love. Each surprise toy comes with a lot of games that are fun to play. The content is updated every week! The kids will really enjoy the Magic Kinder App.

Where/ How to download Magic Kinder App? Magic Kinder app is FREE to download at Google Play and Apple App Store.

Kinder Joy is available in all leading supermarkets and groceries. For more Kinder Joy updates, visit and like the Kinder Joy Facebook Page – or look for #worldofkj and #kinderjoyphilippines hashtags on social media!

Fun Ranch Big Ball Pit Party

May is a happy month. It’s my husband’s birthday and also my 3rd son’s birthday. We usually have a celebration by the beach. This year is different though, husband is out of the country until June (juice colored!!). I am looking for an activity that my kids will enjoy and in a way relieve them from the stress of LDR. They adore their dad, super love their dad. And the birthday boy worships his dad. He is so sad that his dad won’t be here on his birthday.

Good thing, Fun Ranch is so near! And they just added another kind of fun! Say hello to Fun Ranch Ball Pit:

So yeah, my May boy celebrant had his 9th birthday party here, complete with food, fun activities and well, a little side trip to the grocery.

Fun Ranch Big Ball Pit is inside the Playdium at Fun Ranch Ortigas. It’s a pit full of balls! 10,000 colorful balls to be exact and more than 10,000 fun. Entrance to Fun Ranch Big Ball Pit is 150 Pesos per hour if it is weekdays and 200 pesos per hour if it is weekend. It’s cheaper if your kids are going to play at Playdium. Unlimited play at the Playdium with one hour Ball Pit is only 400 and 500 on weekends.

What I love most about Fun Ranch is the food (sorry naman!). Lalo na their fried chicken..ang saraaaaap! And the spaghetti too! Here are the food that we had:

That Pork BBQ is super delicious, sauce pa lang ulam na!!

Aside from Playdium and Big Ball Pit, kids can also enjoy unli rides and JumpYard at Fun Ranch. For more info and ticket prices, check out Fun Ranch Facebook Page. For birthday party packages rate and promos, Fun Ranch branches and other offers, check out Fun Ranch website page.

SM Stationery Is The Best Back-To-School Shop

Having 4 students in the house is not a walk in the park. Let’s not start with the tuition fee ok? Let’s just talk about the school supplies and other back to school needs! I do love shopping, you know that, and I am always excited to shop for new notebooks, pencils and pens (even though it’s not mine). I love shopping but not with my 4 students. Magulo kaya at maingay. Last year was a different story though, I finally learned how to master the act of back-to-school shopping! I give them a list and I wait at the cashier. And now that I have learned about convenience that is SM Stationery, this year will be even better.

SM City East Ortigas recently opened and we’ve been going there ever since. It’s one of our favorite mall. I feel at home sa mall na yan. I let my kids roam around by themselves. I feel safe inside this particular mall and I know most of the establishments there. So it’s not a surprise that I am already planning our back-to-school shopping here. From how it looks, I am confident that back-to-school shopping will be a breeze this year. And here are 5 reasons why:

5 Reasons Why SM Stationery Is The Best Back-To-School Shop

Reason #1. SM Stationery is a one-stop-shop for all our back-to-school needs.

What are the top 5 back to school needs?

School Supplies
Bag
Shoes
Socks
Underwear

You can buy all the school supplies at SM Stationery and since it is inside SM Department Store, you can also buy other back-to-school needs and pay at the same cashier! How convenient is that? It saves you from a lot of gastos! As some of my nanay friends mentioned, tipid sa pamasahe, tipid sa pagkain!

You can give a list to your kids for their school supplies needs. They can shop on their own if they are big enough to do so. While they’re doing that, you can proceed with the bag or the shoes or the socks and underwear.

Mommy Tip: When buying socks, go for the one with colored ankle. It helps them to know how to wear socks properly. Very effective.

Reason #2. SM Stationery Back-to-school BackPack

And I only discovered this now and I want to buy all the backpacks even though I only have 4 students. As per my first-born, this is a really good buy. Back packs are usually priced P500+ but this one is only 399 Pesos and already comes with school supplies.

SM Stationery back packs are packed with school supplies for Grades 1-6 students and also for high school students. The contents varies from notebooks, pad papers, pencils/ ballpens and other basic needs per grade level. Above photo are bags for Grade 2, Grade 4, Grade 6 and Grade 8 (high school).

The backpacks comes in different designs pa. Your students can choose printed, solid color, in pinks, in blues and even in grays (favorite color as of the moment).

Reason #3 SM Stationery has more cute stuff that you can imagine!

Here’s a clip of some of the best stuff we found at SM Stationery (SM City East Ortigas branch) and other interesting find during our visit:

Nakakainggit ang mga students. School supplies are cuter nowadays, mas nakaka inspired mag aral. Even the filling and storage section at SM Stationery is an eye candy!

If you love pastel colors, this is definetly your school supplies must buy:

Reason #4 SM Stationery Freebies!

Free umbrella for a minimum purchase of 1000 Pesos! May bag ka na, may school supplies ka pa, may free umbrella ka pa!

May free watch din for every 1500 purchase! And it comes in different colors.

Reason #5 SM Stationery Card Points

It’s like SMAC but is solely for SM Stationery. You spend and you get rebates. The points you accumulated can be used to purchase your kids’ next year school supplies, of course sa SM Stationery ulit.
