Scholastic Christmas Warehouse Sale 2015

Book sales, without a doubt, is one of the best sale event a mom could go to. SULIT! Even if you’re coming from the South, from the North, East or West, checking out the Scholastic Warehouse Sale is worth every traffic you’d encounter.

Here are some of the books on sale:

My 3rd born is into Geronimo Stiltton now.. and he wants to buy all GS books he can find! Kung pwede lang anak! Buong warehouse ng Scholastic bibilhin natin!

It’s my dream to own a Harry Potter set (and other books that were turned into a movie) and I was in luck dahil inabutan ko pa ang set ng Harry Potter for only 1900 PhP. Some HP books were on sale, may hard cover pa and as much as I want to buy a hard cover copy, gusto ko talagang set na.
I also scored one Diary of a Wimpy Kid for only 50 pesos! YES! For singkwenta lang.. di baaa!?! Medyo hindi na maganda ung cover ng book but there was no missing page naman.. un lang, meron na pala ganun si Kuya.

I’m planning to go back there bago magpasko (or pag may pera na ulit ako haha).. Sabi nila they want books for Christmas. We have no plans din naman to buy them since they got their bikes na (which is not cheap! Ayayay!). I still want to give them something this Christmas para naman may bubuksan silang gift sa Christmas Eve.

Have you been to Scholastic Warehouse Sale? Share mo naman nabili mong books! Planning to go to the warehouse sale? Check out my blog post for directions (and some tips on how to encourage your kid to read).

Impressive Result For The New Pampers Baby Dry 99.9% Dryness Challenge

I felt a few contractions last night.. teka munaaa.. I am not yet ready. Marius is only 30 weeks and we haven’t even started shopping for baby clothes. All I have right now is a few old baby clothes and Pampers diapers. Wag muna ngayon pleaase..

My OB said I have nothing to worry about. My cervix is still closed and Marius is doing good. The contractions was due to stress or infection. I had a urinalysis and the result looks like I do have an infection. OB gave me meds to calm my uterus.

Speaking of readiness, hello!?! Hahaha I do not know what baby stuff to prepare! All I know is I have to stock on Pampers and a few baby clothes, may kulang pa ba ako? I’ll buy a few lampins but for sure I’m going to use Pampers more often, specially at night. I know how importance sleep is to babies and I do not want to compromise that. Based on my experience, number 1 cause talaga ng pag gising ng baby is wetness. Dapat laging dry ang skin ni baby specially at night di ba. And when it comes to skin dryness, Pampers guarantees 99.9% skin dryness.

Not convinced? Watch this video:

The video was taken last November 22, 2015 at Robinsons Place Manila. Moms were encouraged to bring non Pampers diapers and take the New Pampers Baby Dry 99.9% Skin Dryness Challenge.

Hey I want to know what do you think of the Dryness Test? It’s pretty impressive right? Are you going to use Pampers now after watching the video?

Keeping My Kids Healthy This Christmas Season

And it’s been a month since we moved here.. a month already?!? Ang bilis ng araw! And though I am not quite settled yet in this mansion (mansyon mansyonan lang no), the kids are all adjusted na! Lately, they have been busy biking and active play. They have the whole block to run eh.. wala pa kameng kapitbahay kase.

Busy ang mga bagets.. which makes me worry sometimes. Ang aga na kase nila nagigising since we moved here, tapos sobrang active pa. Nag woworry ako na baka hindi maka keep up ang body nila sa activities nila, specially this this season, magbabakasyon pa.

So how to keep the kids healthy this Christmas season?

Provide them with the right food.

Mahirap mamilit ng bata di ba? Specially if they don’t like the food. In terms of veggies, I always take the lead (kahit ako kumakain ng gulay). I eat veggies in front of them to encourage them to eat vegetables too. In terms of junk food, I explain to them how our digestive system works and why there are kinds of food that is bad for their body. They always believe naman what I say and I make sure din naman na whatever I say is true.

TIP: Since it’s Christmas season na, medyo mura na ang grapes, oranges and apples. Be creative with these fruits. Mag imbento ka!

Establish a sleeping pattern

Sleep is very important for the kids. And they all need 8 to 10 hours of sleep a day. Mahirap man, specially with my tween boys, I make it a point na nakakatulog sila everyday ng at least 8 hours.

Give at least 2 glasses of Milk everyday

Our pedia also stressed the need for them to drink Milk at least 2 glasses a day. Milk is a good source of calcium and it is needed by the body for strong bones.

Good thing my kids are not picky eaters anymore at madali na maka intindi when things are explained to them scientifically.

Supplement their diet with Vitamins

I realized that with their activities, hindi lang Vitamin C ang kailangan ng katawan nila. I checked with their Pedia and I was advised on giving them vitamin supplements that also provides Iron and B Complex. I read from an article that kids need 6 kinds of vitamins: Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Calcium, Vitamin B and Iron.

I give my kids Ferlin for their Iron dahil ever since, ito na talaga yung gamit namin. Hiyang ang mga bata at talagang effective naman. Nakikita ko na masigla sila, malakas ang mga buto-buto at walang problema sa dugo.

Ceelin naman is what I give my kids for their Vitamin C supplement. They love the taste at syempre, it does wonders din!

And now, mas bongga na becauase buying vitamins for my kids is more convenient. You know naman how it is with my pregnancy. It’s challenging specially physically kaya I’m always for convinient and online buying helps me lighten the load of my mommy duties. Happy to share with you that you can buy all these vitamins at 30% of from www.heymom.com.ph.

Now, in terms of health, we are ready for Christmas!
