Erceflora Probibears: Yummy tummy supplement for kids

July 17, 2018 12 Comments

Last May, we planned on going to Baguio as our last summer getaway before school starts. We were looking forward to it for weeks but unfortunately we weren’t able to go. 4 days before we leave, Gwen complained about stomach pain and she had a slight fever. After 2 days, she was vomiting and goes to the toilet often. We went to the doctor and had some lab tests done, the result… high levels of bacteria, doctor said it’s stomach flu. We were given a cocktail of medicines and antibiotic. *sigh*…. Apart from the medicine expenses, it’s so hard to see your daughter sick. Minsan lang magkasakit si Gwen and this stomach flu hit her hard, talagang naging matamlay sya. Plus, it’s a bummer that our vacation plans got cancelled.

If only I had known that there’s a tummy supplement to protect kids from digestive diseases like diarrhea and constipation, Gwen won’t get sick. Now I know better, I see to it that she takes Erceflora Probibears to shoo tummy problems away.

Being a mother is one of the best things a woman can experience, just by having my daughter Gwen, I can’t ask for anything more. Every day is worth celebrating when you’re taking care of your children but I’m grateful that moms are treated more special during Mother’s Day. Last May, Shopwise Alabang treated us moms for an afternoon of cooking lessons, wine 101, and a wine show.

In the Kitchen: Coffee Jelly with Vinamilk Condensada

July 5, 2018 9 Comments

In the Kitchen will be the category where I will post some of the recipes I cook for my family. I promise you these are super-duper easy recipes because I’m really not an expert in the kitchen plus the fact that I don’t want recipes with so many steps/how-tos. Just 4-6 instructions, anything more than that, I skip the page of my recipe book and look for simpler recipes. So newbies in the kitchen, I hope you’ll try my recipes or suggestions and let’s share kitchen secrets!

It’s back to school and I’m waking up at 5 am in the morning to prepare Gwen’s baon. When the school service picks up Gwen, then it’s time for me to do some chores, nakakapagod din pala sa bahay! This is how a yayaless household with a kid going to school feels like. On my 3rd day, wala na… I’m so sleepy the whole day eh I already had my cup of coffee in the morning. I thought of making coffee jelly, so that I will still have energy to help Gwen in her assignments once she gets home. Pwede rin nyang snack, para magising ng konti after a whole day at school :p.

Getting ready for back-to-school

July 1, 2018 Leave a Comment

Tomorrow is Gwen’s first day of classes, there are a hundred things running in my mind right now. I have to iron her uniform, shine her school shoes, prepare her hygiene kit, plan her baon etc. Kung may first day of school jitters si Gwen, ako rin kasi na-stress na ako sa dami ng ihahanda. Plus her yaya, Ate Yongyong, took her vacation since May at hindi pa bumabalik, hindi rin nagpaparamdam. I took a leave from work for 1 week kasi nga marami pa akong cocoveran na libro at notebooks and also to take care of her needs.

Since back to school will be definitely stressful for us, ayoko namang pati sa bahay eh dagdag stress pa. It’s rainy season and I noticed that insects, flies, and rodents are everywhere :(. Talagang when it rains, it pours…ng problems. One solution to get rid of flies is get an aluminum foil and put it inside a bottle with water, tapos ilalagay lang sa table. Someone who works from a food cart told me that, naglalagay daw sila ng ganun sa mga pwesto nila to avoid flies.
