Our McDonald’s Kiddie Crew Experience

By 2 Comments

One of the things that I really wanted for David to experience this summer is to be a part of McDonald's Kiddie Crew. My friends' kids all had a fun time last year and I really loved seeing the kiddie crew at the McDo near our office. They were wearing their uniforms and were just being generally cute at the counter, greeting passengers and helping out with the orders.  I didn't have any goals for this program for David, I just wanted him to have fun. We signed up David at the McDonald's in … [Continue reading]

Review: 3 Sprouts Hooded Towels

By Leave a Comment

3 Sprouts

I first saw 3 Sprouts online while I was browsing baby and toddler items when David was just a baby. I remember bookmarking some of their items because they have the right combination of kiddy whimsy and sensibility without going overboard. The second time I saw 3 Sprouts was at Expo Mom 2012. I met Candice Tansipek, a mompreneur who brought in 3 Sprouts so that us Pinay moms can finally get our hands on these 3 Sprouts goodies. Candice sent me two hooded towels for testing, a yellow monkey … [Continue reading]

Be Anti-Amoy Pawis with Lactacyd Baby Bath and Toddler Tubs!

By 8 Comments

David is pawisin. The thing is he is a bundle of energy. He skips, he runs and he jumps.  I think walking bores him. Whenever we are in a mall, he would hold my hand and Dan's so he could swing himself forwards and backwards.  It's hard keeping up with this kid because well, I am not fit (nyahaha) and I would always run out of breath running after him. When Lactacyd approached me for their Anti-Amoy Pawis promo, I had to nod my head in agreement. It's a campaign that's right up my alley. I … [Continue reading]

To Yeng Guiao

By Leave a Comment

Yeng Guiao. I hear his name uttered in conversations among my husband and friends who follow the PBA. The impression I got and from the bits of news that I read about him is that he is a hot-tempered coach with a short fuse who  has a  rough way with words (and finger gestures). He has always been fined by the association and has also been thrown out of the court. And now he's in the news again because Guiao called another player, Fil-American forward, "Mongoloid". He did this after the game … [Continue reading]
