Mama Wears Black

  There are only two types of moms: The mom who can support her child financially without limits And the mom who has no money to help her child at all The majority of you worries big time when it comes to your child’s future. Yes, I know how tempting, it is because you want to make your child’s future set in place before you die. And when we talk about ‘security’ what comes up in your mind is ‘you need to be financially stable’ for your child’s future to be secure. I get it because I am a mom to my one and only 7-year old son who means the whole world to me. Not just I am a mom. I also have a mom whom I can relate. She is a mom who has nothing to give to her four children monetarily, not even a single penny she could provide us a good future ever since then, but two of her daughters who happened to create their individual future now decides to live a thousand miles away from home. At age 28, I left from the Philippines to start and build my family in the UK. I am living in the UK f...

  Let’s be seated and tell me who you are and what you are as a wife, husband, boyfriend, or girlfriend. I’ll give you 15 minutes to tell me everything, whatever your beliefs about being a jealous person, valid or invalid. And I’ll judge you based on your beliefs because your beliefs make you the person you are, but it doesn’t mean it’s a bad thing. The reason I am asking you who you are, what you are and what your beliefs are about that subject is because it plays a significant role on how you carry yourself to the world. Now tell me who you are? And you say, I am a wife. In fact, a very jealous wife to my husband whom I loved the most all my life if he happens to do something against my way. I want my husband only to focus his eyes on me, no other than, but me. I want to know whom he is going to interact day by day from Facebook down to his personal email. I don’t want my husband to click the ‘likes’ button to any women on Facebook because it hurts me and it feels like he betraye...

Is it just me or have you noticed that the scrubs your doctor, or nurse, or hygienist wears are all much more stylish these days? I never used to see them them in anything but a pale blue (or, of course, the teddy bear version some of the nurses wear at the pediatrician's office!), but now I notice that everyone looks so much nice in them when I have an appointment at the doctor or dentist. I may have figured out where they are getting them from. I found these Nursing Scrubs at Amazon that sells attractive looking nursing uniforms. They carry designer styles for both men and women. I had a fun time looking through all the designs. I don't wear scrubs, but if I did, I would certainly feel much better in these versions of the uniform! So, if you are looking for somewhere to labs coats, check out nursing scrubs at Amazon. I bet you'll feel a lot better about yourself and how you look at work! BTW: It even have some ADORABLE fun scrubs for kids! ...

There are a ton of great booster seats and travel dining seats on the market. This one in particular caught my attention for a number of reasons; 1) The great prints- it comes in many fab and fun prints  2) The crushability- it collapses and squishes down into a small sack easily fit in diaper bags, suitcases, or a purse 3) Cleans easily- pop it right in the wash so you can clean t thoroughly after each use 4) Versatile- it holds a child from 6 months to 30 months or 35lbs and fits a variety of chair types and shapes. 5) It uses both waist and shoulder straps to hold even the most squirmy of children firmly in place. The drawbacks? There is no tray so you must be able to reach a table, spoon feed, or hold the food, and it doesn't fit all chair types such as really wide backed chairs- all in all though, a great purchase which will get a ton of use ~ Available at Amazon.

This is one of those -'genius, why didn't I think of that' products... Everyone knows how much stuff you end up with when you have a baby, and not everyone is lucky enough to live in a large enough place to fit all of this stuff comfortably. This very simple invention, the Stroll Away by Amazon is a very easy solution to reducing clutter.  It is an over the door  (so no damage to walls or permanent fixtures) stroller storage system.  It accommodates most stroller styles and folds flush with the door when not in use.  So no more donating an entire closet or hall to the cause, or trying to design around it as a permanent fixture. Simple & Genius.

 Buying crib bedding always tends to be a let down.  There are so many *beautiful* and amazing sets out there that can really turn your nursery into a dream.. that is until you remove the bumper (which is well advised as they are a suffocation risk) and drape the quilt over the back of a chair (because children are not supposed to use blankets until at least the age of 12 months and even then you are advised to choose a thin one) and realize I just spent how much money on what? a crib sheet and crib skirt?  How very not practical.  So how do you keep baby warm and cozy?  And selfishly how do you add a beautiful pop of color to your crib without introducing a hazard? Get Stokked.  The Stokke sleep sack, or sleep bags, come in absolutely gorgeous designs and are made of nice & yummy comfy- get this- 400 thread count 100% cotton.  They might just put your duvet to shame! I only wish they came in larger sizes too so we could use them further into the t...
