Working Mommy Blogger from the Philippines
I was browsing old photos of Gwen in our used pc desktop last night and saw a photo with our matching hair pieces from Sassy Hairsies. Gwen was only 8 months old then, and I can put anything on her without any complains. Now that she’s older, if I put a headband on her, one second and it’s gone.

Do you have an idea that’s been sitting inside your brains but can’t figure out how to immortalize it? Don’t just shook it off, it may be the weirdest or the most impossible one but who knows, it may be something that will revolutionize the health and wellness needs of Filipinos.
I’m calling out to all housewives and househusbands out there. I’ve been thinking since last week why mommy bloggers are a force to reckon with, and why PR companies sends out product reviews for mommy bloggers. This is because mommy bloggers are using various products 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. May it be household cleaning products, beauty products, medicines, kitchen utensils, household appliances, name it and mommy bloggers might have used and tested it all. So to be called an expert on a variety of things is just right on. Your experiences and solutions to everyday challenges might be the INNOVATION that people at Unilab might be looking for!

Since Gwen started crawling, she’s all over the room she’s in and it’s dangerous to even blink because she might fall, stuff small things in her mouth, touch the electric fan, etc… And I’m pretty worried about my Nanay when she gets Gwen from the yaya and they’ll play in the room, I’m worried that Nanay will get tired catching up with her fast crawling abilities into the nooks and crannies of the room.
Problem solved…

I didn’t avail the offered lootbags/give-aways from Jollibee because I want to do it myself. It’s fun putting cute little things together and besides, it’s the only thing I can do to Gwen’s party to make it a “little” personalized, #masabilangnaDIY, hehe…

We are a couple who loves to travel, no doubt! When we got married, we had a blast traveling to different places together for three years. I thought we can’t do this lifestyle anymore when we already have a baby. So we made the most out of our baby-less married life. And suddenly this blessing came and we’re so excited. But at the back of my mind, I was calculating the months of my due date and then poof, it’s near our South Korea travel dates. We were supposed to experience our first snow last January of 2011 if we didn’t have this bundle of joy. What’s supposed to be our last hurrah before a new addition to family arrives was postponed. Heck, we even have a notion that once the baby’s out, we have to say goodbye to the wanderlust lifestyle, all travel plans shelved.
For one, it’s difficult to explore and get lost in unfamiliar places with a crying baby in tow. Aside from that, consider all the necessities you have to bring such as baby bottles, lots of clothes, baby food, bottle sterilizer etc… Others find it expensive to travel with a baby too.
But we proved it wrong, we were able to do it when Gwen was 7 months old and we had so much fun, we became more involved and hands-on with Gwen on our short trip so traveling with a baby is not a problem to us since then.
Here are some tips on how to make traveling with a baby possible:
1. Look for a homey and well-equipped accommodation. If possible, stay at a friend’s house. When we went to Singapore, we stayed at a friends house so we’re free to use all the facilities, I was able to cook, wash the feeding bottles, cook and reheat baby food, do the laundry etc… I can’t do all those things when we stayed at a hotel. But if you don’t have friends who are willing to adapt you in other countries, there’s Roomorama. I consider Roomorama as your home away from home because you can use all the amenities available in the apartment while you’re there, it’s part of the package. This is very convenient compared to staying at the hotel wherein your actions are very limited. If you’ll be traveling with a baby, kids, with the whole family, this is the way to go.
In fact, we’re going to use it on our Hong Kong trip this year and we’re looking for nice apartments as early as now:
