Fun Ranch is one of the little man’s happy place, he has been there on a number of occasions, each as fun and exciting as the last {you may read about our first visit here}. That is why we were thrilled to be invited to the Mommy Bloggers Philippines Vita Cubes Fun Day. It was a lovely afternoon catching up with fellow Mommy Bloggers Philippines members and meeting new ones, enjoying awesome entertainment and good food, and simply having the time of his life sliding and bouncing up and down with the other kids at the play area for my little bundle of energy!

The afternoon was filled with fun, entertainment, and surprises. A yummy feast was also waiting for everyone to enjoy! While the little guy refused to step away from the play area, I occupied myself with animated chats with fellow MBP mums. There were also exciting games and raffles for the mums and kiddos. The main entertainment of the afternoon was this awesome magician who left the little kiddos in awe, especially when he brought out his special guest for the performance ~ his huge yellow python!

But the highlight of the gathering, of course, was the short presentation about the newest and most exciting candy snack to hit town ~ Vita Cubes! We all learned a lot about this product and were also excited to try these yummy, gooey candies. Read on for my review of these tasty healthy treats!

Thank you Mommy Bloggers Philippines and Rebisco Confetionery Team for one splendid afternoon! :laugh:

Well, the long wait is over as KidZania Manila is slated to open its doors on 07 August. We were invited to the press preview {#KZMNLPreview} last Wednesday and had the awesome privilege of touring the place before it opens to the public. A short program hosted by ABS-CBN news anchor, Karen Davila, and graced by no less that KidZania Founder and CEO Xavier Lopez Ancona and KidZania Philippines State Governor, Maricel Pangilinan-Arenas was held before the place burst with lights and the tour commenced. It was just too bad that the little man cannot tag along as he had classes that morning. This mum was in awe and felt like a giddy 6-year old. Indeed, this place made me wish I was a child again so I can only imagine how excited Jared would be when he visits the place. I am thinking a KidZania adventure on his birthday would really sound like a very good idea! 😉

Ever since I learned about Kidzania opening here in the Philippines I have always been interested as I am sure the little man will most definitely have a great experience there. As of press time, 80% of its 10,000 square meters of indoor space has already been completed and the Filipino kids will get to experience this awesome place at the Bonifacio Global City in Taguig in a few months. Recently KidZania Manila celebrated its Industry Partner Day at the Hotel Intercontinental Manila in Makati City, and I was fortunate to be among the invited bloggers to witness the momentous occasion.
