freebie alert: get free diapers from drypers

August 31, 2011 5 Comments

There is nothing mums love more than their little bundle of joys, they mean the world to us, right? Well, maybe, except for freebies, as for mums, the more they can save on stuffs, the better. So nothing beats getting free stuffs + if these freebies happen to be baby stuffs, then mums are a bunch of happy campers! 😉

That is why I am delighted to share with you this freebie alert from Drypers. All you have to do is join their Drypers Baby Club + you will get the chance to win wonderful items {including a P300 McDonald’s GCs for the first 500 to register!}

You can also get in touch with them to request for free diaper samples. I have tried some of these diapers when I got free samples from MomCenter + I must say they were as good as the brand we are using now, except that the samples I got was a tad smaller to my son’s XXL size 🙁 Maybe I can request for bigger sizes this time so I can check its absorbency.

Drypers is one brand worth supporting, too, as they have been generous enough to help our a mummy friend, Phoebe, who raised funds for her Diaper for A Cause project + this particular brand donated boxes of diapers to be given out to less-privileged babies in a hospital in Baguio, isn’t that great?!

Anyway, to know more about this treat, you may keep in touch with Drypers though any of the following:

Snail Mail – 8F Asian Star Building, ASEAN Drive, Filinvest, Alabang, Muntinlupa City 1781
Contact Number – (+632) 556 2405

mum musings, souvenir, travel

pack your bags + let's travel

This is my entry to Techie She Lucky Blogger Weekly Giveaway Week 13. This week’s prize is $10 paypal cash credit from Gagay of My FREE Travels and Tours.

Traveling is one of the passions I discovered albeit belatedly (read: I discovered it at a point when I am not that mobile {tagging my little one along all the time + a host of baby-related accoutrements along with it} + not that financially capable to do it quite often :().

Back when I was younger I don’t really take to traveling + all the hoopla surrounding it, that much. I am content in my own little world that any disturbance or slight change on my daily routine annoyed + fazed me.

But, maybe I am getting old, that I now look forward to more travel adventures with my little man + his dad. In fact, I now consider it a personal milestone + victory that we get to travel along with our toddler + although it takes a huge amount of effort to do so, I am always delighted whenever we manage to visit places we’ve never been before + do things we’ve never done before.

In fact, I am so much into traveling now that I am making my own travel blog + if I get lucky {or find enough time} I’d be able to launch it within the next week or two. How does Musings + Meanderings sound to you {I’ve actually ventured into making this subdomain “https://musingsandmeanderings.jaredslittlecorner.info” but something went wrong that when I was to log into the new wp blog, the page is no longer uploading. I’m just glad sis Ma Belle, bless her, was able to fix it for me, so I’ll visit good ol’ c-panel again to install WordPress again using Fantastico ;)}. I’d feature our little family travels there + include souvenirs and postcards, too {loads of postcards! :)}

Talking about it is getting me so excited! Now, I must finish some more tasks so I’ll have some free time to mull things over my new travel blog later tonight. Wish me luck 😉

happy birthday jared!

My ever dearest Jared,

You are turning a big 2 today, Love, + you are growing faster than ever. Has it actually been 2 years, cause I really haven’t noticed the time flying by, it seemed to have stopped or has taken on a new dynamics when we are together. Seems like it was only yesterday when I’ve given birth to you + you first came into our lives, every single day is as exciting as the last + I will forever be grateful to the ALL for entrusting you to me.

Thank you son for putting up with all my drama {I know I’d hear many a protest once you get older ;)} + for being generous with your laughters + your wet kisses + your hugs! I live for them. Thank you for putting up with the sometimes-lousy-and-impatient mother that was me. Thank you for teaching me invaluable lessons about life + patience. Thank you for making me rediscover my inner child + thank you for giving me a whole new + brighter perspective about life.

I couldn’t tell you enough how much I love you + I’ll make sure to tell you + make you feel it everyday. Thank you for giving me the chance to experience the wonderful rapture of a mother’s love to her child. I shall never be the same again.

Thank you for magnifying my better half. I look forward to all our future adventures + if, in time, I’d be able to teach you a thing or two about living your life to the fullest, then I’d give myself a pat on the back knowing I did my job well.

Happy Birthday, Son!

Always,

Mummy
