11.24.2013 by mumwrites // Leave a Comment

Christmas time is upon once more and if you are looking for the best place to shop for branded yet affordable toys, apparel and shoes for kids, there is no better place to visit than the Kids Craze Warehouse Sale. They have opened the Warehouse sale in November and will continue this December 1, 5, 7, 8, 12 until the 22nd between 9AM-6PM during weekends and at 1PM-6PM during weekdays and Fridays at #34 Scout Torillo corner Scout Limbaga in Quezon City.

They have popular kid brands like Barbie, Chicco, Hotwheels, MegaBloks, FisherPrice, Vtech and a whole lot more. Most items are up for sale at 80% so it will truly give more value to every mum’s shopping money and will enable them to buy more toys than they originally planned to. I am sure mums will find a lot of great Christmas gift items for their kids loved ones from the place, too! I have always wanted to check it out ever since I learned about this warehouse sale but have not had the chance to do so, hopefully we can do it this year if our schedule and pocket will allow us. Am eyeing the MegaBloks toy as the little man is currently taking a liking to those building blocks, which I am sure will work wonders for him.

Incidentally, RichPrime Global Inc., the company behind the Kids Craze Warehouse Sale, was also one of the businesses who participated in this year’s Blogapalooza. I got a sample pack of their Moon Dough from the event and the little man was more than excited to try it out. We poured the molding dough onto his tray and he quickly went on to make these cup-shaped molds.

How To Keep Children Preoccupied During Rainy Days

08.21.2013 by mumwrites // 10 Comments

mum's thoughts, Jared, Jared's nook, children, children toys — the little man playing with an old toy he recently re-discovered

The recent habagat paired with typhoon Maring allowed for our unintended house arrest. Classes were suspended in our city and even when they’re not, I wouldn’t brave the heavy rains and risk for Jared to catch any disease. Unwilling as we were, we have no choice but to revel in our time cooped up at home until the storm and the inclement weather passed.

It is a good thing that I found a perfect preoccupation for the little man, the games and apps on my mobile phone. But if truth be told, I’d rather he bury his nose in one of his books than to enjoy any of those games {I know I am such a party pooper } Good thing he agreed to play only for a few hours each day and that I discovered this kid-friendly game of memory and puzzles with his favorite Cars 2 characters in it.

The first two days he found joy in watching a number of his favorite cartoons on the telly but on the third day, he suddenly lost interest and wanted to do something else. We occupied ourselves for a bit watching the big pitter patter of the rain from our window, we also took the sudden rest from the downpour to check out the water building up on the streets just in front of the garage. The little man is fascinated with the rainy and those muddy puddles.

I actually have a number of activities in mind to keep my little man occupied, like storytelling or coloring or playing with his clay. {If you are a mum of an impressionable almost-4-year-old, you will be well off to have the Smart Parenting’s 150+ Fun & Creative Activities For Kids so you will never run out of ideas, and pray that your children like them and cooperates }

While keeping myself occupied keeping abreast of the current weather condition and the progress of relief operations in different key cities in the country, Jared had a sudden inspiration and went to his bin of old toys, unearthed his partially-damaged toy train and decided to play with it. Most of the parts are still okay even though the train itself won’t work anymore. I had to repair a few carriages with a double-sided tape and off the little man went to play with it!

I wonder what else will catch Jared’s fancy next, in the meantime, I am just glad I have Minion Rush and other mobile games to keep him occupied during those boring days.

How about you, what do you do to keep your little bosses occupied?

My Very First Lazada Shopping Haul

07.23.2013 by mumwrites // 2 Comments

I got a couple of vouchers from Lazada.com.ph which I used to order a couple of stuff for me and the little man just recently. Jared’s 4^th birthday is fast approaching so I decided to get him this Cars 2 double decker transporter bus which he wanted to have for quite some time now. I also ordered a couple of Thomas the Train books for my boy, as well as a book and a jeggings for myself.

simple pleasures, online shopping, Jared, toys, children toys — the little man very happy with this very advanced birthday gift!

I am a first time Lazada shopper and for the pleasurable experience, I think it will be my go-to place whenever I need to do some online shopping. What I love about it? The site is so easy-peasy to use that even children can buy from them. True to their word, they offer 2-day delivery to places like ours which is quite near but is out of bounds from Manila. The items are neatly packed and placed in pouches, or in boxes in case of fragile items like cosmetics and tin lunch boxes. And what’s even better is they even offer free shipping on almost all items. Shopping with Lazada not only make shopping convenient and stress-free for us mums, it also allows us to have good value for our hard-earned money with various discount and appealing offers.

Just recently Lazada tied up with another industry giant, Megalink, check out the rest of the press release here:

Lazada will shoulder all service charges making this feature a very enticing option to the millions of Filipinos bearing cards within the MegaLink network.

Thanks so much Lazada for such a pleasurable online shopping experience. I give you for a job well done. And thanks for my latest haul, too. Even my little man loved them!

Don’t you just love going to baby bazaars. They are convenient as they have everything a mum might need under one roof. They are also one perfect bonding activity for mums and kids, as well as the entire family, as most of them have activities and entertainment, like programs, performances and giveaways, lined up for the day. Some are even equipped with breastfeeding sections and soft play area for our toddlers! They truly are a one-stop shop for families who clamor for interesting activities during weekends.

The good news is that Babypalooza Bazaar is just right around the corner and what’s even better is we are giving away a Sand Puff Set and a Sophie the Giraffe teether to 2 of mum’s lucky readers on their behalf as a treat to our dear, loyal readers !

All about the 3rd Babypalooza Bazaar

The next Babypalooza Bazaar is happening on Saturday, 17 August, 2013 between 10am-7pm at the Walter Hogan Conference Center, ISO, Ateneo de Manila University, QC Campus. Up on its 3rd run, Babypalooza will still highlight the same features that sets the first 2 bazaars apart from its contemporaries, not to mention making it unique and successful, equal exposure for brand new and pre-loved {i.e. gently used} items for babies, young children and expectant parents.

The Babypalooza Vendor Protection Program (VPP) will still be enforced to ensure that no two vendors of brand new items will be selling the exact same thing to help ensure that shoppers will not get bored from seeing the same merchandise over and over. Items that will be sold are necessities of parents and their children, including clothing, shoes and accessories, gear, strollers/baby furniture, feeding bottles, nursing wear, breast pumps, skin care and cleaning products. Yummy, drool-worthy food products will also be sold during bazaar hours. All these at negotiable, easy-on-the-pocket prices!

To continue providing a family-friendly bazaar experience, special function areas will still be available for free for all visitors, these are the following: The Sulit Breastfeeding station, The Maya Kitchen play area, 88DB Daddy Waiting Lounge and the Mega Soft diaper change area. Venue is fully air-conditioned and clean rest rooms are also just a few steps away from the bazaar stalls for added convenience. Besides Sulit and 88DB, this event is also graced by the participation of WhenInManila.com as one of its online media partners. And did I mention that entrance and parking are FREE?
