my pink-hearted teddy

pink stuff, morningspink stuff, mornings

My post for today was inspired by my usual early-morning companion for a number of weeks now. He is the perfect partner for he keeps me awake in the wee hours of the morning so I can finish my online tasks way before the little man wakes up from his sound slumber. He also keeps me alert + ready, he helps make the scattered ideas brimming off the top of my head coherent and intelligible once I’ve typed it down for yet-another-gw-article- in- the-making.  Needless to say I am really thankful that I have him in my life now + am also in gratitude to the lovely person who gifted me with him.

Now, before you draw your own conclusions, I was actually referring to my pink-hearted-teddy heart-shaped mug. Isn’t he just a darling? Suis reconnaissant to the equally lovely, sis Cherry, for this token. Now even my morning coffee is full of hearts, literally! Smile

I look forward to more adventures with my mug + my morning coffee, here’s to more tasks + earning opportunities, more giveaways to join + win, more deadlines to beat + more hopefully-slightly intelligent blog post to write in the coming new year! Wink

what is your pink share this week?

my little man turns 28 months!

baby, milestones

My little charmer, also known as the little bag of boundless energies, turned 28 months old today! Wee!

Sorry I know you were suppose to stop counting the months once they turn a year old, but I can’t seem to kick the old habit! Anyway, we celebrated by going to the movies + see the little man’s favorite ad on the tellie by far, Enteng Ng Ina Mo {I will tell you more about the movie experience in a separate post Smile}.

Jared is slowly discovering his gift of gab + is such a chatterbox now more than ever. Here are a few of his weird + funny words {with their corresponding interpretations as your guide ^_^}

  • Aby – that is his sweet term for “mummy,”  although he can distinctly say “ma” or “mum”
  • Padi – that is his diapers or dappy
  • Kase – I don’t know how this came to be, but this is his term for “tricycle” Grin
  • Popo – while pointing at his diapers, means he pooped
  • Wowo – that is his favorite stuffed toy, Elmo
  • Sasa – the other favorite stuff toy, Aslan, the white tiger from Zoobic Safari
  • Tata – that is his tita
  • Tuto – or his favorite, Tito
  • Beebee – that is another of his favorites, Jollibee! ^_^
  • Bee – this is his term for his bib
  • Kishi – our christmas tree Smile

His vocabulary + speaking has greatly improved in several months + I couldn’t be a prouder mum. Apart from that he can now distinguish {+ say them clearly, too} letters A to J with the addition of letter O. He can also count from 1 to 10,  recite the names of his stuffed toy friends, and recall the sound made by the following animals: dog, cat, tiger, frog, + bird {we’ve also included fish into the fray, which makes the “swim, swim” sound Smile}

A few words added into his vocabulary includes: moon, star, daddy, fish, ball, + apple. I know he will learn a whole lot more new things next year + I couldn’t be more excited! Grin

this mum is turning green

human heart nature, green ideas, orange tuesday, simple pleasures, shopping

Not green with envy, of course, but green, as in green-living ^_^

I have been meaning to visit the local Human Heart Nature branch since I became a member in September, but have not found the time to do so as am either tired from too much running after the little man whenever we do our errands or laden with a bagful of grocery items whenever we passed by the building on our way home. With the little man in tow, I took advantage of the pre-Christmas downtime + went but the shop but it was closed for their Christmas party.

Finally, after the Christmas break, I was able to visit the shop on Tuesday. It actually looks more like a spa or a very cosy living room of a very close friend, homey + inviting, but, instead of the usual photographs here + there, the place is peppered by various Human Heart Nature products + items. To indulge the visitors, you can even try out the products as I saw samplers of each item on display that you can try out for free.

The staffs are also very warm + accommodating, with one of them {am actually guessing he’s the shop owner} even offering Polvoron to the little man {which I politely declined, as Jared would just shrug the treat off!}. He even allowed Jared to play for a bit in the private nook of the shop, as my little man excitedly ran there when he saw another kiddo, Nemo, whom he can play with. A lady also assisted me as I browse through their display.

Another thing I love about the place is that they hand you actual baskets {yes, the ones you can put fruits into} to hold your goodies while you shop around + at the check out till, your purchase will be wrapped in earth-friendly brown bags, too. Truly, there is no use for plastic in this place.

I am even surprised when I paid my bill. I spent P480 {about $12} for my purchase that include these:

  • Foamy Bath + Shaving Oil – Eucalyptus {100ml}
  • Spray Sanitizer – Citrus Burst {50ml}
  • Hand + Foot Salve – Banana {50ml}
  • Sunflower Seed Beauty Oil {50ml}
  • Kids Shampoo + Body Wash – Tangerine Tarsier {200ml}
  • Balancing Facial Wash – Elemi {50ml}
I am really ?ing Human Heart Nature + I am also glad they’ve recently opened shops here in Bulacan. Now, who’ll say going the greener way needs to be costly? Wink
Thought the orange shampoo is way too orange to not deserve a spot at Orange Tuesdays. Am also sharing this through Green Monday Smile
