A Mom's Fear : When Baby Falls Down the Stairs

Baby Z

   A day ago I posted on my FB page about how my 9 month old could easily climb the stairs within a minute. I was so proud and gay about it. Baby Z has now improved on his motor skills. I could tell that he's a perfect climber. He taps on the stairs first then climbs his way up the stairs. I guess he's curious on what he would see on the second floor. 

   Then, this afternoon something terrible happened.  Baby Z fell down the stairs. I blame myself  for trusting on my mother's instinct that I can be attentive of him every minute. I feel so horrible. Whenever, I watch news on TV about some babies or kids having accidents, I would often say a nasty comment about how irresponsible their parents are. I never imagined that my own baby/kid would be on the same scenario.

Children see what you do

Ever wonder why some children shout at their own parents? Do you ever wonder why they talk back at their elders? Children see what adults do. When they see, they do.

I have personally experienced being shouted upon by my firstborn when he was a still a toddler. I was really mad when he shouted at me. I felt humiliated, disrespected and hurt. Then, I asked myself, "Where does he get this kind of attitude?" Then, I remembered shouting at him when I was cranky or when he was too messy with his food.  He might have felt humiliated. He might have felt hurt too.

From then on, I stopped shouting at him. When he does something wrong, I ask him if he thinks it was right or wrong. I do my best to let him understand his own mistakes by talking to him and not shouting at him. 

This kind of approach influences him. He shows me more love and respect. He refrains from shouting at us, his parents. 

Below is a clip that would show you how children see, and how greatly the adults they live with influences their behavior. Feel free to watch it. :D

How to earn while you're at home?

I've resigned from my job more than  2 years ago as a call center agent. It was a decision, my partner and I made, because our firstborn was growing fast. We couldn't find a nanny for him too. And, it was also hard for us to leave him under someone's care, whom we didn't knew at all. 

My son is turning 4 years old now and I just gave birth to another baby boy 6 months ago. My husband works his ass off for 8-9 hours per day for 5 times a week just to give us our needs and for the bills.  People wonder how do we manage our expenses if only one of us has a decent job? Well, I earn too. I earn too, believe it or not. 

I'm a stay at home mom but I have lots of ways to earn money. I'm going to share it to you in this post. 

The day He called me "Mama"

Being called "MAMA" is one of the milestones a Mother celebrates! Just a while ago, our "bunso" woke up and started to cry. I was busy on the pc updating my new Facebook page for my online business. He  cried loudly and so I immediately went to him. He was beside his Kuya M and was looking for me when he said, "MAMA".

My heart leapt with joy! He called me MAMA for the first time! :D  I know every Mom who experienced this can relate to me. I also felt the same joy when my firstborn M called me "MAMA". :)

Anyway, Baby Z had been a very good baby. He doesn't cry that much. He cries when he wants to have his diapers changed or when he wants to feed. I've been exclusively breastfeeding him for 5 months now and everyone can see how healthy and happy he is. :D

So, till next time. I've been quite busy with my online business. You can check my page OVER OF UNDER for branded undergarments. 

Thank you!

Well, when it comes to cakes and desserts, the first thing that I look for is a red velvet cupcake or cake. I love eating red velvet cakes/ cupcakes especially if it's filled  with a super yummy cream cheese filling.

Johnson's Baby Cooling Gel Lotion

"It's hot!" I think everyone is exclaiming those words everyday. I personally feel the hot humid air  and would easily be sweating even after I've taking a bath. It's summer season, I know, and I can't stop the sun from heating up the earth. 

If we adults are too worried about the scorching heat of the sun, do you wonder how babies would feel? Well, babies are too fragile and their skins are too sensitive. Too much humid in air or changes of the weather would often cause dryness on my 3 month old son.

His dry skin was a big problem to us, his parents. Dryness of the skin would often lead to rashes, which we don't want to happen. Luckily, a wonderful product was found! 

My hubby found this product a week ago after religiously checking on which skin care product is affordable, effective and isn't harmful on our baby's skin.  

F All Day Dining Review

Hi everyone! Last Friday we were able to use up the food gc I won from one of the recent promos of Regent Foods on Instagram. It was a buffet for two at F1 Hotel's restaurant called F All Day Dining. We were really excited to try all the dishes and have seen good reviews of the said restaurant

Goodies and the GC I got

 Upon entering the hotel, we were welcomed with a cozy lounge and warm smiles from the staff.

 We were assisted by one of the friendly staffs to were the dining area was.

Butterfly Child

14 year old Jonathan Pitre is not just an ordinary hockey fanatic. He is a butterfly child. Butterfly children are called as such because of the skin condition they have. They are born with Epidermolysis Bullosa, or EB, which is one of the most painful and rare genetic disorder. Their skin is compared to butterfly wings, which is too fragile that even a slight friction can cause  blisters or tears. 

Jollibee is sick? Really?

Is it real? Is it real? Our beloved Mascot is sick? This is the question that is trending now regarding the current health situation of the famous "Jollibee", #prayforJollibee.
This is a horrible news for kids who really love Jollibee. However the question "Why does he looks like that now?" is the biggest question that have lots of answers from netizens. Take a look at their tweets.

She gave the wrong price but she managed to win a brand new car!

Thought it was April's fool at the "Price is Right" when Manuela, the presenter on the said game show accidentally opened the correct price for the brand new Hyundai Sonata.
Yeah, she literally gave away a brand new car priced at $21,960 on their April 02, 2015 episode. After giving the first choice of the contestant, It seems Manuela is floating somewhere when she just literally opened the correct price of the car. Andrea screams "I WIN!" and host Drew Carey agreed with Andrea and said "Congratulations, Manuela just gave you a brand new car!"

No More Mess Grill!

Years ago we purchased a non-stick pan costing us more than P1000. We were really excited to try it because it was are first ever non stick pan. Sadly, it did not meet our expectations.  Whenever we were cooking fried dishes, it was sticking and the food was even messing up. And so, we didn't buy any non-stick products after that.

Last Friday, when we were at the Home Warehouse sale, we were looking for some kitchen items that we can use at home. My hubby wanted a griller that we can use inside the house. There were different grills available but this Chef's Classics grill caught our attention. It's reversible and non-stick. We were a bit skeptical with its non-stick features, however, my husband bought it after hearing some sales talk from the salesman. We just wanted a grill and so we purchased it.

Endless fun under the Philippine Sun

SM Home Warehouse Sale

Who doesn't love to shop when everything's on sale? Well, I think everyone are delighted to shop when the discounts are high. Most moms, like me, look eager for that day, especially when we can buy those items that we need at home. 

Well, yesterday, SM Megamall had one of the biggest sales at the start of the year for home ware items. The sale runs for 3 days until tomorrow March 15, 2015. 

Eye discharge in babies

Days after Baby Z was born, I noticed a yellowish discharge on his left eye. It was irritating him so much because it would often turn into crust, which would make his eye hard to open.

Baby's First Clothes

Before Baby Z came, we were already aware of the importance of choosing the right products for newborns and infants. We bought all- white garments for our firstborn M so, we did the same for Baby Z.

Why did we choose all white- garments?

Well, first it's a color for all. Baby boys and girls can wear it. If something happens wrong with the gender detection when you had your ultrasound, then he or she can wear white. Second, most white garments are of made of lightweight texture, which is cool and comfortable on a baby's skin. And lastly, you can easily spot dirt or insects on a white garment. 

When we were choosing products for our firstborn, we saw this brand of clothing which offered an all-white clothing for infants. Everything was white, from cover-ups to clean-ups. My firstborn used Beginnings Baby product from his birth until he was a year old. I was even happy to giveaway his infant clothes to my cousins because I know their babies would feel comfortable wearing it . It is also resilient to frequent washes and to any type of weather. His clothes were still white and soft when I gave it away.

Getting Fit after Pregnancy

I gave birth to a healthy baby boy #2 more than 6 weeks ago.  My body has changed ever since. More fats has been stored on different parts of my body throughout my pregnancy.Whenever I look at the mirror, I feel awful.  Well, they say breastfeeding helps in losing weight. I think it does, however it doesn't make you look fit.
