What my kids are like, and how to raise your child/children in this day and age.

Chico and Sati says “Baby Me”

Though 1 year and 6 months apart, they act like twins most of the times.. with my kids, it’s like that, my two older boys gets along together really well (together with their cousin who is almost the same age as them).. on the other hand, the two youngest are like partners (and sometimes they’re trio with my other nephew who is the same age as Chico)..

Even when it comes to picture taking and outfit of the day photo ops, my two older boys with their cousin looks really good together, while Sati and Chico are just adorable as a pair.. and with that, I did not hesitate to say yes when I was asked to feature a line of children’s clothing.. BABY ME

Baby Me send us 2 pretty dress for my little girl. and 2 polo shirt and shorts terno for my 3 year old.

The clothes fits them perfectly and obviously, they love wearing it.. the clothes were made of light weight material.. specially the green flowery dress, preskong presko 🙂

Baby Me is a line of clothing that serves infants to toddler category which is 1-3 years old. Most of the clothes are for girls but they do carry clothes for boys too, as you can see Chico’s wearing two of their polo shirts and shorts terno. Baby Me uses both knitted and woven fabrics, thus giving us option to chose between the more breathable knitted wears and dressy or formal woven fabrics. And they make sure that the woven materials are made of good cotton materials, processed and washed properly giving it a soft feel.

Baby Me has been around since 2003 and exclusively sold in SM Department Stores nationwide. Baby Me was supposed to be Baby and Me, when Mrs. Tessie Sy-Coson suggested to drop the “and” leaving a shorter, and totally different meaning- Baby Me. Like a toddler telling his or her mom to ‘baby me’!

Personally I love the green flowery dress for Sati and the blue polo for Chico.. They actually look like they came from an old movie hahaha so to complete the look, I edited one of their photo:

Disney Musical Live With Guess

When Disney Musical performed here in the Philippines, Guess Philippines made sure that a lot of kids will smile with Mickey, Donal, Minnie and Goofey. The company is in partner with Operation Smile for bringing smile to children and young adults with cleft lip and cleft palate deformities by providing them free reconstructive surgery. Guess Philippines helps Operation Smile through fundraising and employee volunteerism activities.

“In 2009, for example, it raised funds to support a medical mission in Calamba, Laguna by engaging its customers through a Cause-Related Marketing (CRM) campaign where a certain percentage of the sales of its premier jeans products for six months was donated to Operation Smile for the surgery of children with cleft deformities. Guess employees participated as non-medical volunteers in the mission which treated 51 children.”

This year, they brought children from one of the communities that they are helping to watch the Disney Musical Live in Araneta. Together with their families, the kids got to enjoy Mickey and the gang together with characters from popular Disney movies such The Little Mermaid, Toy Story and Aladdin.

I was one of the moms who were invited to watch Disney Musical Live with the kids and their families. We had the chance to mingle with the kids but was not able to get their story.. Chico’s already fussy after the show.. excited for his Donut…and here’s some of our photo after the show:

My third son Chico.. that’s his signature smile for now.. and I don’t why.. I’m wearing Max Factor loose powder (o di ba fresh pa din hehe)

Here are the kids (with their families) that Guess brought to enjoy the show.

Mommy Bloggers that joined in the fun..

Smart Steps Review

Have you noticed already? oh no don’t tell me you haven’t??? Well actually, I have been trying to make things a bit more organized here.. so I have been trying really really hard to set topic each day, say every Wednesday is supposedly a product of the week day.. in which I will post about some of the products that I discovered or products that we have been using for years and really deserves to be featured here.. well it seems 4 kids and a thousand house hold chores will not let me follow the said post scheduling.. and supposedly this post has been published last Wednesday,, and only now that I had the time to do it and try the product..

So for my product of the week, here it is:

During the Parentin TV 2nd anniversary celebration, Tintin Bersola- Babao introduced to us to Smart Steps, a baby cleaning products. The product line includes Baby Laundry Detergent, mild and safe, no dyes, no bleach and no optical brightness. It also includes Baby Fabric Softener (mild and safe, fresh linen scent and no artificial colorant) and Baby Bottle Cleanser (easy rinse formula, no phosphate and no dyes). We were given a bag each that includes powder detergent, liquid detergent and bottle cleanser.

The bottle cleanser I tried a few days ago. It was a clear liquid, consistency is not that thick. It smells like a bubble gum.. though not that really strong. As per the instruction, you need to dilute it in water and soak the bottle and nipples (and other baby items) for about 30 minutes. Then use a brush and sponge to clean the items then rinse. When I used it, I noticed that it is very easy to rinse and does not leave any smell on the bottle.

The liquid detergent and the powder detergent smells the same, not too strong but has a hint of Jasmine. I used it yesterday for Sati’s clothes. It’s not that bubbly but it sure does clean the clothes, judging from the smell after washing it. Today, some of her clothes are already dry, I asked my sister to smell it and she said that it really smells clean and fresh.

Next week, I will feature the malungay powder that I usually put on their fried rice. It’s a powder that was also introduced to us during the Parentin.TV aniversary..swerte talaga I was invited to that event, as in! I learned a lot and at the same time I learned some great products for us.

I am really trying to be organized here.. and I actually want products feature to be organized too, like 1st week of the month devotes to baby products, 2nd week is for mommy products, 3rd week is for food products, 4th week is for household items and if there is an extra week, it can be for miscellaneous like insurance or annuities online or gadgets. I really wish I can follow this post scheduling scheme.. but if I can’t, I hope you put up with my crazy posting 🙂
