My husband is now working as a Sales Agent in a Funeral Homes in Pasig, a contractual employee now on his 4th month. Thank God he somehow surpassed the challenges in his work field, and seems to be enjoying after his 3-month-adjustment. We are now saving from his salary and we've done everything to make ends meet. Our Workplace. My daughter, who is now on her 9th month, starts to crawl so fast and now learning to stand on her own. While I am continuing our home business, having a hard time to do everything on my own. Our home business before my husband got a job is a printing business. Using our laptop and a dye inked inkjet printer, we started our homebased printing shop. We asked permission from my in-laws to build a small business. At first, it was hard. Now I have realized that the first challenge in a business is on how to maintain the first week, first month, then the next month. Maintaining the business operation - one of the tough demur.Improving our lay-out, ...

Based on my experience, breastmilk doesn't comes out naturally after giving birth. It is actually having the patience to pump the breast to bring out the milk. It can be frustrating at first. I became frustrated and angry at myself for I can't let the milk out. We all know we can produce the milk, but we don't know how to let it out right? Breastfeeding my Girl. To start breastfeeding, you must have a breast pump and hot compress. Hand towel soaked in warm water can be an alternative to hot compress. This is what I have learned and was dome by the midwives when I was in the Charity Ward of Dr. Jose Fabella Hospital. First, put a hot compress into your breast. Make sure that the hot compress is not so hot by trying it into the back of your hand. After putting the hot compress for a minute or two, pump your breast using a breast pump. Then put the other hot compress to the other breast. Do this until there is a bit of milk going out. You can also massage the breas...

I've noticed two months ago that I am actually spending wasteful time in Facebook. I am sorry to those who love Facebook but I think its better if I will lessen the time spending into it. Because of Facebook, I spend straight 4-6 hours without drinking water, taking a pee or thinking about imaginative/business ideas. That 4 - 6 hours is sometimes spent playing Facebook games. I am sometimes irritable when my daughter wants me to attend her needs, irritable because she is disturbing me in browsing my friend's and or relative's status. Facebook Addict. Where's the Rehab? Ha ha ha Suddenly, it came to my mind, start to think the reason why I became bad-tempered. Is it because of FACEBOOK? I can't attend to my daughter's need because she's disturbing me? Is that it? Is that all? A month ago, I started to reduce the time I am spending in Facebook. It is hard not to do it since opening Facebook is the first site I am opening from a tab. Admit it,...

Today is a hard day and at the same time a relief for everybody. My Mother-in-Law is a very sacrificial wife,even if she knew that her husband was having extramarital affair, she continuously love him despite his wrong doing. After years of understanding and ignoring rumors about my Father-in-Law and his mistress, it came at this point thinking/realizing how this rumors really affects the family. Afterall, he is not carrying his only surname but ours too! We are all named after him and his clan, and we are sometimes ashamed  to admit that we are part of him. It is hard to let go of him, but we made our part to help him change. We loved him without saying words but through actions. Photo Credits to HundredsofHeads Letting go of him is somehow a relief to the family - it can be stressful at first but will give us a relief for a longer time. We will not think of him more of where and what did he do or where he was with. Surely, we can adjust to that on the later days. We...

Is you baby easily distracted that cannot catch up her sleep? She is three months now and cannot sleep soundly compared to her earlier months. My husband and I thought that she gets awake easily because of the loud noise, but we discover it is because she is curious what that sound is and where it came from. I told my mother-in-law and she taught me something...  Put a pillow at her lap. So that if she distracted/awake, she can feel the pillow and will think that it is you. Make sure you  will do this when you are awake or doing household chores. You now ask me why? Because there will be a tendency that the pillow will be place at your child's face due to her constant kicking, and to prevent Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). Till then! Hope this article helps!

When we are walking along the street, she fall asleep. Then when she heard the horn of the jeepney, she is suddenly awaken by that sound. At first, we thought that it is because she was frightened or shocked.. but at the later part, we have realized something after this incident.. I am trying to ring the phone and she is falling asleep. To my surprise, she suddenly widen her eyes and looks curious about the sound. I have realized that it is not because she was shocked or frightened, bu it is because she is curious, that she is distracted by the different sounds she is hearing. And yes baby, you're not inside the tummy of Mommy, that's why I want you to expose to different stimuli for you to realize that you are living and breathing on your own now. So let you baby stay nosy, let them learn on their own with your help!  Have a nice day ahead Mommies!

I was really happy when I saw her grasp my hand when she was 4-day-old. But compared today that she is now 3-month-old, her grasping skill is more improved than the latter. When we went into a toy shop, I let her hold of a toy and to my amusement she hold it for about 1 minute all on her own. I am a very proud mom because of her advanced skills.  Here is a grasping activity that you can do with your child, as a have read  in baby.about.com: Gather 3 toys, allow her to hold 1 toy in each hand, 1 toy will be left and try to offer it to her. Baby should learn to put down a toy in one of her hands as she try to reach the offered toy. This is to let her learn on how to think ahead and at the same time practice her grasping skills. If she don't know how to do it, don't get frustrated because she will learn it in time. Enjoy Reading!

I have been breastfeeding my daughter for almost 3 months. No wonder her bones are strong, physically fit, and healthy. My pledge to breastfeed my child really needs commitment and  need to be shameless, regardless of where she cries when she's hungry. Based on my personal experience, it's really hard to breastfeed especially in public places. When we are going at Market! Market!, we are choosing 3rd & 4th floors where benches are located. Until we discover something at a nearby mall... We went at Shoe Mart (SM) Makati yesterday and my 3-month-old daughter needs to be fed. We found the Breastfeeding Area by asking the employees located at 4th floor east area near the Comfort Room. Here it is... And to our surprise... as we open the Breastfeeding Area of Shoe Mart (SM) Makati.... A room with a cozy, sweet aroma - with a couch, diaper changing table, a clean lavatory with soap & hand dryer, small desk and chair. Let's take a peek at the l...
