MOMI SHOPS| Hey Mom for my family’s health and wellness essentials

October 16, 2017 · 4 Comments

After a series of school commitments, our Big Bunso went home one day with a cough. The following day, I heard Firstborn wheezing as well. With a newborn and a toddler to look after, I just couldn’t leave the house and buy medicine. How I wish I could count on my husband to drop by the drugstore and get some bottles of Carbocisteine. Unfortunately, he couldn’t even leave the bed. He felt ill as well.

For sure you have experienced this, too, and felt you have no one to turn to. But –

As it seems too easy for me to conceive, other couples, though, find it too challenging to get pregnant and bear a child. Thus, the initial question of close friends is the secret to boost the chances of getting pregnant. And all I could tell them is –

MOMI SHARES| Top 3 Ways to Parent With Sensitivity

October 12, 2017 · 5 Comments

When someone talks about the advantages of responsive parenting, we often consider it from the perspective of cognitive development. As a mother, being more sensitive to our kids’ emotions is apparently our most significant achievement.

During babyhood, we hold our baby up whenever he cries. It is a natural reaction. We try to fulfill his demands and give most of our time keeping our infant close to us. But, have you ever thought that your proximity and closeness help develop the emotional bonding between you and the child? Yes, it does improve and strengthen the emotional bonding.

However, the more difficult phase of parenting begins when our kid grows up and starts showing those upsetting toddler behaviors. The best way to deal with this stage is to demonstrate how sensitive we could be.

MOMI SHARES| Power dressing: I am who I wear

October 10, 2017 · 45 Comments

What’s the secret to being confident?

We are what we wear. This is what I often hear from my mom who greatly influenced my love for dressing up. Our clothes- from fab gown to plain shirt – have a significant effect on our confidence and at the same time affect people’s impressions of us.

MOMI LEARNS| Kindness is Everywhere

I said yes to an event in BGC knowing I have a car to use. Unfortunately, Franco (our Ford Focus) failed me that day. Husband decided to accompany his wife as I have SumoSam with me as well.

The gathering lasted for about an hour and a half. It wrapped up by 5 pm. We got caught in the after-office rush hour. After almost an hour of waiting for a cab, Grab or Uber, we finally got a kind taxi driver to at least bring us outside BGC.

EDSA was jam-packed. We walked towards Guadalupe with high hopes we could at least use the train to reach home. Though our weary steps may falter, it was our determination to be home that pushed us to go further. I walked faster than my husband, wanting to reach the MRT station in no time. Our Sumosam is getting heavy to carry, too. Then husband heard a loud car horn from behind. He didn’t mind until the driver gestured to husband to hop in. We went inside the kind soul’s car thinking he was one of the organizers of the event we attended just recently. But we were wrong.

Take Chances

I got a private message from an old high school classmate. We haven’t talked for years and the last time we’ve seen each other was on our graduation day. Thus it hit me hard when she messaged me one Wednesday morning.

Classmate: Hi, Berlin

Berlin: Hello, good morning.

Classmate: Berlin… I know it is very uncalled for… I wanted to seek a little help sana… pls don’t tell joema ha… (she is also my husband’s friend)

This mother discovered the beauty of babywearing about two years ago. She got a few projects for writing at home, however, her newborn would always want to be near his mama. Though she loves carrying her little man in her arms, she just couldn’t finish her household chores and some writing assignment on time. She would end up burning the midnight oil just to finish her commitment.

Until one day, she visited a mom and baby bazaar and saw a few parents babywearing their little ones. She joined a babywearing group, became part of the community, and little by little understood not only the convenience of babywearing but its advantages as well.

She bought a number of carriers until she found what best suits her Little Man.

MOMI SMILES| No-compromise mom

September 26, 2017 · 6 Comments

I am a no-compromise parent. When it comes to my boys, I only give, use, and believe in what is the best. My children are the only real treasures that I have so their best interests are always my top priority.

About two Sundays ago, a dear friend visited us at the small house. I wasn’t able to finish our laundry last Saturday so she saw me washing a few baby clothes. She took notice of the laundry detergent I was using and asked me if it adds up to the budget using different laundry soaps for the babies and for the grown-ups.

MOMI LEARNS Children teach us to rest

My two-year-old son can be real energetic that often when I am busy beating deadlines, he would act so unreasonable and would want my attention. That is how I would describe him -unreasonable and uncooperative. However, it isn’t him but me acting unreasonable and unaccommodating. He is just a kid and obviously, he loves to play and he would want to include his mother in his pretend play. How insensitive can I be?

There are instances as well when he would again sit beside me and after a few minutes urge me to go to bed. And I would again think he is acting so unreasonable and uncooperative. I need to finish a deadline and yet here is the little kiddo disturbing me. Shame on you, Berlin for thinking of that! He just wants to sleep because it’s way past his bedtime and you are still there burning the midnight oil.

Are you aware that rushing toward a goal is a sublimated death wish? It's no coincidence we call them deadlines.
