  • Being Shut Down and Shutting Up

    Hello again everyone. I know it’s been a long time since I last wrote anything. I also know that I should be writing something that’s well-worth reading as some sort of a “welcome back” post. But please, please allow me to rant just this once. Maybe just for the next few minutes. You see, I […]

    As promised, here is a list of things to bring for your hospital stay, right after giving birth… MOM’S BAG: – Nursing bra (buy cheap ones first since you wouldn’t really know yet what cup size you’ll have after…) – Nursing pads (Normally, I use washable ones, but for your hospital stay, it’s also helpful […]

  • Choice and Wellness: Nestle Wellness Expo 2010

    I want to confess something I am semi-addicted to that I am afraid I am starting to pass on to my children: my love for cold, heaping Milo with lots of buo-buo (translation: already-insoluble granules). Ever since I was a kid, I have been introduced to Milo and I could say I have mastered the […]

Babywise – I think a great part of how I kept my sanity through the first years with Alyanna and Mikaela were the principles I learned from this […]
