Classic fairytale gets a quirky twist in Rep’s Rapunzel! Rapunzel! A Very Hairy Fairy Tale


A Quirky Twist in Rep’s Rapunzel! Rapunzel! A Very Hairy Fairy TaleThis mother loves reading to her boys, especially to the two little ones.  We’ve got many storybooks at home, and each night before we hit the sack, our three-year-old boy would get a storybook from our bookshelf.  He will climb on bed and hand to me the book.  He will settle down and request his little brother to sit down properly.  Then I will read to them the story of the night.

Despite being a boy, our toddler loves the story of the princess with the very long hair, Rapunzel. He loves it when I gesture Rapunzel’s long hair that he would keep giggling for minutes.

As I read to them last night, I was one who keeps on giggling.  We are reading the story of Rapunzel, and I imagine my son’s happy face if he will see the princess in person.

Momi Musings on What She Found at the Baby Company Crazy Baby Sale

What I found at the Baby Company Crazy Baby Sale

There is one event I never let pass.  Whenever I hear our favorite Baby Company will have a scheduled sale, I make sure to be present in one of the three days sale event.   Aside from the many brands and services in one roof, I love the fact that discounts are up to 70% off.   Freebies are aplenty, too, especially if you are a Mom Card or SM Advantage cardholder. 

For a mom with a toddler and a baby plus three teenage boys, real sale events like that of Baby Company’s honestly give us significant savings.  It is also the time that we buy baby essentials and favorites in bulk.

The Kids’ Future Starts at Home

MOMI TIPS on raising well-rounded kids

The Kids' Future Starts at Home

I always believe that the future starts at home.  During the formative years when the kids still do not attend classes and stay at home the most that they see and observe how their parents act and speak.  It is at home where their guardians join them and most likely, they adapt to their parents’ lifestyle.  Thus, it is crucial for elders to be good role models. 

This is the very goal of Parentology+,  the style of modern parenting as powered by NANKID.  Parents are encouraged to be a role model for their children, and participate in their various activities, may it be socializing, eating healthier and staying active. Through Parentology+,  parents can create a customized model that can help reshape their child’s future.

Less Hassle, More Hustle at LRA

Land Registration Authority’s Anywhere-to-Anywhere Program makes the process easy for landowners

Less Hassle, More Hustle at LRA

Before, getting Certified True Copies (CTCs) of land titles is seen as a challenge by landowners. One of their main concerns is the complicated process that takes a lot of back and forth, often leaving them with no choice but to dedicate a set number of hours or days just to secure a copy of their title. It’s especially more disadvantageous to those whose lands are situated in far-flung areas due to the time and money that they have to spend to acquire the document.

Encourage creative play in children

Before an appointment with our pediatrician, we dropped by the nearest convenience store to buy a bottle of water (I forgot to bring my water tumbler!). I was so thirsty after having breastfed two boys while on our way to the clinic. At the counter of the convenience store, I saw the familiar egg-shaped chocolate treats, Kinder Joy, that my toddler loves very much. We grabbed five of them.

Many businesses open because they want to earn.  Business isn’t business in the first place if it doesn’t aim for profit.  More so, an entrepreneur invests capital to gain benefit at a specific time. But as profitable growth is essential for the vitality of the business, it is not bad as well to share.  This especially holds true if the company is earning a stable income. Giving back, after all, can be considered a part of any business’ core values especially if its purpose is all around the legacy of service.  

I learned of a business that works around this kind of legacy.  They give back by sharing a certain percentage of their profit to the society.  More so, they offer quality baby products that create a significant impact on both the parents and their babies.  

They have just landed in the Philippines, and their products are available in leading department stores nationwide.  They are called PUR Philippines.

MOMI TIPS on decorating a child’s room

Guide to Decorate a Child's Room

We only have a small living space.  We’ve managed to maintain a minimalist lifestyle for years, just perfect for the small area we have.  Then three years ago, I gave birth to our fourth child and a year after that to our fifth.

In three years, we were able to accumulate lots of new baby stuff.  We also added a new chest drawer for the two toddlers and even bought a makeshift toy cabinet.  We likewise brought back our almost 10-year-old toy cabinet and inside each plastic pull out cabinet drawer are decade-old toys of our teenage boys.

Our once tidy abode becomes all cluttered and noisy.  Toys are just everywhere, and every table, chair, and cabinet has its special drawing and markings.  Some pieces of furniture are severely damaged and need replacement.  But since we have three boys all attending high school and two toddlers yet to complete their vaccination, we always put off buying a new appliance and even furniture to a later time.
