I recently discovered that my 3 year old son (turning 4 this May) loves Music. How? I downloaded an alphabet musical on Ipad and he really loved it, spend hours playing or listening on it. Makes me wonder if it that is his talent.. been hearing him sing with Freddie Mercury whenever his dad play a Queen song.

I think as parents, it is our responsibility to nurture our kids’ talents. But you know it really is hard to know what are the talents of our kids. Thankfully, Promil is always there to help us discover our kids true potential through Promil Pre-School i-Shine Talent Camp. This year, Promil Pre-school partnered with ABS-CBN for this year’s i-Shine Talent Camp.

If you think your kid has a potential and is between 3 to 7 years old, then join Promil Pre-School i-Shine Talent Camp 2012. Here’s how:

• Purchase Promil Pre-School pack size and keep the proof of purchase
• Record a video of your child’s talent (singing, dancing or acting)
• Together with the proof of purchase and the CD send it to Wyeth PO box at P.O. Box 1207

Promil Pre-School is a nutritious powdered milk drink for children 4-7 years old which contains Nutrissentials – a unique combination of essential nutrients that help optimize a child’s full potential.

When I first learned I’ll be having a baby, I am so excited to start shopping for baby clothes. Being a first time mom, I had to ask my mother for some advice when it comes to shopping for baby clothes. The first thing she said is buy white baby clothing. WHITE? why not blue if it is a baby boy or pink and yellow if it is a girl? My mom pointed out that white baby clothing is a better option for these particular reasons:

• white is cooler
• with white clothing, you can easily spot dirt or insects specially ants
• white is easier to wash too, as compare to colored clothing, when you have to separate each from each color
• white is very clean to look at and with babies, they look like angels with white clothing
• white is unisex, I can have a dozen or so white baby clothing without worrying the gender

And when I was invited to the launching of Beginnings Baby, the FIRST ALL-WHITE NEWBORN BABY APPAREL, I said of course! Even though I am not having a baby anymore, it would be very nice to share this brand to you.

Beginnings Baby is an apparel line created specially for newborn to infants (12 months). What makes  Beginnings Baby different from other baby apparel brand? Here’s what Beginnings has to say about their brand:

BEGINNINGS strictly follows US Standards for Baby Clothes.

1. We only use premium Shiny Cotton Thread to guarantee the durability of our products.

2. To avoid loose or too-tightly sewn stitches, we follow a specific stitching distance that results in stitching that is never twisted or wrinkled.

3. Attachments on shoulders and sides are more durable for long-term use due to the double stitching care of our Overlock machines.

4. Cotton ties are easily adjustable for your baby’s comfort. More importantly, it is also safer than using buttons which are considered to be choking hazards for children 0-12 months.

5. Special needles are used to avoid puckering that can cause unsightly needle holes and other defects such as open seams, raw edges and broken stitches. Regular needles can create holes that will make garments more prone to breakage and tear.

6. Special cotton garters with carefully studied, standard measurements required for maximum stretch guarantees your baby’s supreme comfort. You no longer have to worry about waistline marks and other irritations.

The extensive Beginnings Baby line created especially for newborns to infants 12 months old carries t-shirts, sleeveless shirts, tie-sides, sleepsuits, cardigans, bodysuits, shorts, pajamas, undies, shoes, booties, caps, mittens, binders, bibs, wash cloths, blankets, towels and diapers- most everything you need for your beloved little ones, all in immaculate white.

Well, even pediatrician prefers white garments for newborn. It is easier to spot stains and dirt on white garment, it is also easier to detect insects and white garment is clean and cool to baby’s skin. See, my mom’s right!
