Manila Workshops’ Lunchboxes With Love

Nanay Des, of Nanay’s Lunches With Love, is one of the very first mommy blogger friends I made and I have been a big fan of her bento works and was quick to like and comment on each of them as soon as she posted photos of her lunchboxes on Facebook and Instagram. I have always dreamed of creating one of those bento boxes for my little picky eater. That is why I was so thrilled to find out that she will be having her very own workshop very soon, the Lunchboxes With Love workshop courtesy of ManilaWorkshops.

Sign up now as there are only limited slots available!

Handy + Hygienic pH Care Feminine Wipes

In the midst of all our day-to-day activities it is a must for us mums to stay feeling fresh and clean all day. Now it is rather easy to grab our ever-reliable feminine wash whenever we need to freshen things up at home, whether we are knee-deep in seemingly never-ending home chores or are up and about keeping an eye on our little ones, as it is important that we feel comfortable, right? Staying fresh when we are in between errands or accompanying our little tykes to school may seem a bit tricky, especially when you add using public toilets to the equation. Lugging a bottle of our fem wash may seem rather inconvenient and very impractical, too!

That is why pH Care Feminine Wipes is such a god-send. These hygienic feminine wipes have an ActiveCool ingredients that give us mums that extra cool freshness, especially on a hot and humid day or during those red flag days. What I love most about them? They are alcohol free, clinically-tested and most of all they are hypo-allergenic, so they are safe to use regularly and there is no need to worry about nasty allergies or stuff like that whenever you use them! Most of all, pH Care Feminine Wipes are created by a very trusted and reliable brand, Unilab.

A pH Care Feminine Wipes come in a resealable pouch that makes them very handy for mums-on-the-go. You can simply stash it onto your tote bag, open the pouch when in use and re-seal it to keep the wipes fresh and ready for your next use, easy-peasy! Each pack comes with 10 mildly scented wipes.

Preparing For The Little Man’s Minion Party

mum's thoughts, Jared, Jared's nook, children's birthday partyCompared to last year when we had a celebration in McDonald’s and invited a number of guests, we will have a rather simple celebration for the little man’s birthday this year. I plan to treat his classmates and friends at playschool for snacks and have a number of games, a piñata and prepare a couple of loot bags for the kids. Nothing really fancy, just something a stay-at-home mum can afford, really! 🙂

Since the beginning of the month I have been busy plotting and planning how our simple playschool celebration will go about. This is the first time Jared will celebrate with classmates and yep, this mum is excited! I have outlined a number of parlor games for the children to participate in, as well a fun exercise that I bet everyone will enjoy. Jared is still crazy about the minions so I officially dubbed it as a minion party. I have asked her teacher, who also happens to be a very good baker mum, to prepare a minion cake for him as well as a couple of dozens minion cupcakes and I cannot wait how they will turn out!

Another thing that I am excited to prepare is the loot bags. I will only have to prepare for a couple of children since Jared’s class is rather small. I chanced upon these lovely felt minion key chains in a shop at our local mall and got all their stocks. I also saw these cute minion toys from an online shop on Facebook and got a set, along with these scented markers that I also plan to include in the loot bag. The toys aren’t really of the best quality but given that minion toys are scarce, they will do. I am to create a loot bag that will resemble the little cute yellow creature and I will share them with you as soon as I finished making some. I am DIY-ing my loot bags this time around and decided to just buy yellow colored papers, along with markers and glue to create them. We’ll see how this goes! 🙂

All I need to worry about now is the piñata, the birthday banner and the little decorations that we will be putting up on the day of the party. I am thinking yellow balloons with yellow goggles, but I will see if I can pull that one off. And yes, am also scouting for minion shirt for Jared to wear on his party, hopefully I will be able to see one real soon.

It is almost less than 2 weeks before the little man’s party and I hope to be able to finish the preparations before then. Do you have any suggestions? Feel free to share them in a comment below.  😀
