Made It Through Mum

I made this letter 2 years ago, posted on my Facebook and now sharing here on my blog :-):-):-) *revised some parts though. To my sweetheart RAian, You have taught me more about the meaning of life. You have challenged me in ways I thought would undo me but instead it has made me a better human being and I am eternally indebted to u for that. You fill my life with meaning and purpose and even on my worst days, when I feel helpless to help you through the pain and tears and the discomfort of trying to fit into this imperfect world, you still manage to love me. You will climb up into my lap, flash ur amazing grin(tititita-brown) and for a moment we are one again and i know that I AM ENOUGH. (Isang patak na luha.hehe) I wish so many things for you baby, above all of course, health. Secondly, is continued happiness. The kind of happiness that comes from an unlimited supply of yellow cars, millions of (milk) boxes along your path, and enough batt for your gadgets to last you a life...

CTTO Having picky eaters at home is a real struggle. If you have kids around 3-7 yrs old it could be challenging to get them to eat. Kids around this age have short attention span. They often only like to eat what they've had before, and although you would like to give them only what they want, you also want to look after their health. That's why we make sure that we have food supplement as one of the staples at home to cover the nutrients my kids are lacking. CTTO My eldest is already a teen so he is picky no more. I still have 2 kids: 7yr old son with special needs and a 5yr old daughter, their daily food mostly are processed. They are picky eaters. Makes us ( Mr. MITD and I ) worried. So, to ease our fear , we consulted our pediatrician then. She recommended Nutri10 Plus. My kids been taking Nutri10 for years now  I can say that they are growing up bibo and healthy. Which makes us confident that the vitamins work on them. They are "hiyang" . As I re...

Hmmm... dizz iz it!!! After almost 3 years... "virgin" hair no more :p @statussaloncavite cavite A photo posted by ♥ Reylen ♥ (@madeitthroughmum) on Aug 1, 2016 at 4:25am PDT Recently, I have posted this photo on Instagram with the caption " Dizz iz it... virgin hair no more!"  Why?

Do you agree in the saying that Mothers know best? I definitely do! Not just because I'm a mom, but I've tested and proven it many times as a daughter, sister and friend ÜÜÜ When you allow your intuition to develop, you become the world's foremost authority on your child. The more you practice listening to and caring for your child, the more intuitive you'll become. But sometimes, even mothers need help when it comes to making the right decisions for their child, especially when it comes to their health. It is normal for moms to seek child care advice and parenting tips from experts as well as from family and friends with parental experience. However, there will be instances when they would end up more confused and less confident to make a decision after hearing varying recommendations or contradicting views. Last July 28, 2016 Nido® 3+ launched #CheckTheLabel at Todd English Food Hall in SM Aura Premier, it is an educational campaign to encourage mothers to...

NOT UP FOR A MARATHON? Lace up your shoes for the ANCOP GLOBAL WALK. Education is the most powerful weapon we can use to change the world - Nelson Mandela I love to see students succeed and use education as a way of achieving their dreams. But really disheartens me hearing stories about children who wanted to go to school and eager to learn but poverty hampers them. Happy to know that there's a group who helps these children. Im priviledged to attend Couple's for Christ initiative for ANCOP (Answering the cry of the poor) conference themed Global Walk 2016 : Beyond your Walk, Their dreams.
