PERSONAL NARRATIVES, MOMMY TIPS, AND THRILLING DISCOVERIES TO MAKE DAILY LIFE THE HAPPIEST
Hand washing is something we always promote at home. With the many viruses, germs, and bacteria that bring illnesses, we do not want to remain complacent and be victimized by our careless judgment. It wouldn’t hurt as well to spend just a few minutes and wash our hands. And to encourage our little boys and the big kuyas to make hand washing a habit, we introduce to them one of our latest discoveries.
We had several photo shoot that day. Those were for a favorite chocolate treat, a laundry detergent brand, and a healthy drink. Though the lighting and the set up were pretty much perfect, we had a hard time choosing what photo to use for the brands we represent. On all the fine prints, this mother weighs double her size a decade ago.
I need to lose weight. Not only to look good on the pictures but for my health.
Have you ever shrugged shoulders on things that do not involve you? I did. After all, I was the least affected of those concerns.
It was last year when I joined the Kilusang Kontra Kuto (KKK) activation program in one public school in Taguig. The event was spearheaded by Lamoiyan Corporation’s Licealiz Head Lice Treatment Shampoo. I learned from that activity that head lice infestation is the second most common health problem in public schools in the Philippines. On the number one spot is tooth decay.
Though I got to see almost half of the school’s population suffering from head lice infestation, that didn’t push me to do my part other than just sharing what I have learned. We were also given samples of the Licealiz Head Lice Shampoo, and I just gave them away to Momi Berlin’s followers. I just asked them why they need the Licealiz Head Lice Shampoo. Five individuals got two bottles each of the shampoo.
Then it hit me.
Smart Choices: A Guide to Making Better Judgment
I am a homemaker and a mother to five boys. I must admit our life isn’t a bed of roses. We’ve been through a lot of difficulties, but with faith in the Lord and our wise judgments, we survive.
Making choices isn’t new to us. But making that decision a smart one has always been what we aim, and so far, we learn from our earlier mistakes.
Leftovers are something we sometimes have even if I cook what I thought was enough for us in one eating. Often, I would tell the boys I will not prepare a new viand unless they finish everything left inside the refrigerator. I have noticed, though, that the boys would find our leftovers interesting when I make something new and unique out of them. If you are wondering what to prepare for your next dinner, get creative with last night’s leftovers and try these mouthwatering, quick and easy recipes from The Maya Kitchen!

Have you seen the latest McDelivery video? I so love how the couple helps each other in putting their babies to sleep. I also find them both cute on reminding each other to move with less noise as much as possible. That’s how I was with my boys and husband. They have known me so well that everytime they make unnecessary noise, they would check on me to confirm that I was indeed looking daggers at them.
But what notably made me fall for the commercial was how the delivery man reacted. He was so sensitive to the demands of the father that he acted accordingly to the need of the situation. He even remained careful even outside of the housing unit already.
This 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.
