One way to show one’s special thoughts for a mom is by giving her a gift. For a Breastfeeding mom, there’s no better gift than giving them the support they need on this challenging journey. Here are some bright gift ideas that will surely be liked by breastfeeding moms:

1. Nursing tops and dresses

3. a high quality breast pump

4. Nursing bra

5. disposable nursing pads

6. Malunggay capsules

Compact Medicine Travel Pack

admin — Wed, 09 May 2012 04:47:10 +0000

I’m always like a “girl scout” whenever we’re out and more so when we are on long travels. Part of my To Bring List is a small plastic bag of generic medicines. These include tablets, capsules and ointments to treat common discomforts like headaches, upset tummy, dizziness, colds, cough, cuts and wounds, pain muscles. In other words, I lug around a first aid kit.

For ages now, I’ve been on the look out for this type of medicine travel pack. I like how it’s so compact and just the right size and not so bulky in the bag. It also has labels so picking out the right tablet is not confusing. There are also other similar medicine travel pack in the mall and comes without the labels. You can mark your own so there are compartments for medicines intended for particular sickness like let’s say epithelial mesothelioma.

If you’re wishing to get this exact medicine travel pack, find this in the following stores:

Wedding Bands Shopping

admin — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 09:08:01 +0000

Women are naturally fond of shopping jewelries and accessories so shopping a wedding ring for a bride is just but an easy task. On the other hand, most men often times find this task a complicated one. The reason for this is that they are naturally simple and not so particular into details. They lack information or they’re clueless about the things or features to look for. The good thing about this is that grooms can get assistance in selecting mens wedding bands in jewelry shops through the expert advises of sales attendants. They can be briefed about the different finishes of metal wedding bands: polish, matte, satin or brushed. They will also be provided with different metal combination options. Engraved services may also be highly recommended. But more than the aesthetics of the wedding rings, the most important consideration for a couple is the ring’s comfortability when worn as well as the fitting.

Instant Garden Pool

admin — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 08:13:32 +0000

Feeling so hot but you got no pool in the yard to submerge or dive in? Are your kids bored and feeling so hot in this summer’s unforgiving heat? One of the best ways to combat the heat and boredom of summer is by relaxing in an inflatable pool in your garden. Just buy an inflatable pool which abound now in the malls and toy stores, extend your flexible metal hose and fill it up with water and voila! You now have your own garden pool. Complete the instant swimming treat by having a lounge chair and table filled with delectable picnic treats like hotdogs, burgers and chips. Kids will surely love playing under the sun in your very own backyard pool. There’s no need to hit the road for long drives just to go to the beach.

If you are looking for a worthwhile activity to get your kid busy with this summer, enrolling them in a music class is a smart idea. Check out Toddlers Unlimited’s (4F Festival Supermall) offering wherein they have a Dance Class for ages 3-8, Guitar Lessons for 6-14 years old, Voice Lessons for 7-14 years old and Piano Lessons for ages 7-14 years old.

“Love Earth”

admin — Fri, 20 Apr 2012 05:09:00 +0000

The last activity that my son’s school had before the school year ended was centered on the theme “Love Earth”. Each of students had planted a sunflower seedling and they brought it home last Valentine’s Day. At such a young age, it’s so nice to see my 4-year old son having a sense of responsibility for his plant. He constantly checks the plant whenever he steps out of the house and makes sure that it has been watered regularly. He also addressed it as “my plant” and even takes pride to let his playmates know that he has his own plant.

This inspired us to have more plants in our backyard. We bought a few wooden planters and transferred some branches of the existing ones we have to grow more. Our helper also planted some vegetable seedlings and herbs like tomatoes, pandan, sili and oregano. My son was so delighted seeing all these greens in our backyard. This is our own little way of showing our love for the earth.

The Mind Museum

admin — Fri, 20 Apr 2012 04:33:56 +0000

A few friends of mine have already gone to the newly opened The Mind Museum in at Taguig. They said that they had a pleasurable experience and their kids enjoyed the museum visit. I hope I can bring my preschooler there one of these days so that he’ll learn more and be fascinated about science. The museum has lots of interactive “minds-on” and hands-on exhibit so that kids (and grown ups, too) will learn more about science in a fun and more interesting way.

According to the website, The Mind Museum has five galleries namely:

The Story of the Universe: Its Beginning and Majesty
The Story of the Earth: Its Story Across the Breadth of Time
The Story of Life: The Exuberant Varieties of Life
The Story of the Atom: The Strange World of the Very Small
The Story of Technology: The Showcase of Human Ingenuity

Visits are organized in three-hour blocks of time:

9 a.m.- 12 p.m.

12 p.m. – 3 p.m.

3 p.m. – 6 p.m.

6 p.m. – 9 p.m. (weekends only)

Operating hours are Tuesday-Fridays: 9 a.m. – 6 p.m. and Weekends: 9 a.m. – 9 p.m.

Ticket Prices are as follows:

Adult: P600

Children & Private School Student (up to college): P450

Public School Student (up to college): P150

Teachers: P150

All Day Pass: P750

Below 2ft in height: Free

I really hope we can visit the museum soon this summer. I bet the little one will enjoy the interactive stuff and tinker with the laboratory furnaces. This is a perfect summer activity for the kids so that they won’t get bored and still learn even while they are on a school break.

The Mind Museum is located at JY Campos Park, 3rd Avenue Bonifacio Global City, Taguig.

Exclusive Network of Physicians

admin — Thu, 19 Apr 2012 11:20:03 +0000

We want nothing but the best for our kids. That’s why we just not entrust their health to anybody else. We scout for the best doctors or Pediatricians so that we’d have peace of mind and assured that they are very well taken care of. At times that they get sick, there are instances when they are referred to Pediatric specialists so that the child’s sickness is specifically addressed. In the US, doctors can make the necessary referrals through checking out Doximity. Doximity is an exclusive network for physicians where their profiles that include their education and specialization are published. They can locate each other, send HIPAA compliant text messages, send faxes from their smartphones and exchange private contact information. Martin Blume DO is among the physicians whose profile is listed in there. You can check out his clinical areas of interest, specialty, languages spoken and publications appended from PubMed in his profile.
