Halloween, mum's thoughts, Jared, Jared's nook

That is right! My little man is going to be the Caped Crusader for two years in a row! I have just taken out his Batman costume from last year’s Halloween out of his closet to get it ready for this year’s Trick or Treat action, and am so relieved to see that it still fits!  There are a couple of Trick or Treat events happening in our city and we have yet to decide where to attend. In addition, we will also be having a Halloween party at his playschool and his tita‘s office, so the little man and his Batman costume will be very busy in the coming weeks.

I opted to give his old costume another spin as it is more economical to recycle it, instead of buying him a new one. I would’ve wanted to put together another costume so he won’t have to wear the same thing to two different events, but sadly, I am not really that creative and to make something brilliant, I should have planned it ages ago!

Oh well, the little man is simply excited to be donning his caped costume again, so I think I made a good decision. He cannot wait to wear it, in fact, that the minute he saw it out of his closet, he just have to put it on while watching his favorite cartoon on the telly! 😀

So, who will you be come Halloween?

Sending Free SMS Online

mum's thoughts, news, announcement

Even stay-at-home mums love to be connected to the outside world especially now that we find ourselves cooped up at home and knee-deep in our various motherhood preoccupations. We enjoy keeping up-to-date with what’s the latest with our friends and colleagues through Facebook and other social media sites, as well as enjoy hearing from our relatives whom we have not heard from in a very long while. Of course, not most people are online all the time, that is why it is still a must that we keep tabs on everyone’s mobile numbers as we never know when these will be handy.

Sending SMS remains to be cheapest and the quickest way to keep in touch with our families and friends anywhere in the Philippines. That is why “unlimited text offers” are also thriving nowadays, it is a sure, convenient and affordable way to stay connected.

But what do you say to an online free SMS Philippines service that will allow you to send SMS online to any mobile phone in the Philippines? Am sure you’d say it will be most practical and convenient. What’s even better is that you do not even have to go through all those complicated and time-consuming sign-up forms and whatnot. Simply visit the site and text away! I say this site will surely be an instant hit, too!

Oh this is another weekly theme I have been meaning to share here, Mum Finds, where I will share with you products or services that I have recently stumbled upon which I thought you might want to buy or avail for your children or your family, too. For this week, I am sharing Tiny Fangs Kiddie Tooth Gel which I have discovered a few months back in the display rack of a local Mercury Drug, where I was buying a bunch of meds for the little man at the time. Jared has been using the Pigeon Children Toothpaste for the longest time and I thought it was time to switch to another brand, hopefully a greener alternative this time around. I have been using Tiny Buds Rice Powder on the little man for a long while now and when I saw this tooth gel I knew I had to try it, too!

Tiny Fangs Kiddie Tooth Gel in a nutshell

mum finds, products, mum going green, products for children, products for toddlers, personal hygiene products, safe baby products, earth-friendly products,

This is a safer training tooth gel for children aged 3 years and up. This is a Xylitol tooth gel that helps to prevent tooth decay and promote healthy gums. It has a low-foaming formula that helps children to form a good oral hygiene habit at their toddler stage, as well as introducing them to the mild, minty taste of tooth gel. This kiddie tooth gel is also free from SLS, paraben, fluoride or artificial color, which makes it safe for little ones when they accidentally swallow it.

This tooth gel retails at Php99 per 55gram tube and comes in two variants, Stage 1 Non-foaming Formula in Straberry Banana flavor and Stage 2 Low-Foaming Formula in Tutti Fruitti flavor.

Apart from Mercury Drugs branches, Tiny Fangs Kiddie Tooth Gels are also available in Baby Company stores nationwide, as well as in Landmark in Trinoma.

Why mums would love this product?

Everything that is green is all right in my book. The fact that this is a natural tooth gel puts my OC-ish mum’s mind at ease. It is safe for infants and toddlers and is also made from food-safe ingredients and is also FDA-approved. The little man have yet to get accustomed to the minty taste, however, but am sure he will get used to it in time.
