MM: White
If last week's entry was for my elder daughter Keanna, this time it is for Roey. In this post you'll see her different faces wearing White (with a little of Pink too) and how she played with her stuffed teddy bear. =)

Cool & Fab Giveaway
I’ve always consider myself a wise shopper but sometimes I get a little careless and becomes a little impulsive. That could be because shopping rarely happens to me. And rarely it is for moi. More often than not, I only buy things for my kids.
It has been known to everyone that I just got back into blogging and
is trying
to learn and earn from it too. Aside from monetary reasons I would like to widen my horizons and gain friends I can treasure even if it’s just through the blogging community. I’ve wanted to buy myself a new camera, a new bag, a pair of shoes or sandals perhaps and have my hair straightened and cut. These are just a few that I missed for myself for sometime now. But now that I’m actively back into blogging, I’ll definitely try to save with any amount I’ll earn so I can perhaps have these things bought and done. I’m gonna start with the bag. I really am not brand conscious and I noticed that I have had just few small bags since I was schooling. Now that one
fab Mom(Cherry) is giving away this CK bag, I’m joining! It is my first time to join this contest and I’m positively hoping I could win so I’ll have a bigger bag for my stuff or for baby stuff that I have to bring most of the time. LoL!
For those who’d like to join in as well. Go ahead since the contest has easy-to-do-tasks and will run until April 10. Here are photos of the said bag up for grabs!
Weekend Blog Follower Caravan 9
I thought I would not be able to make it but thank you for the extended deadline. I am but excited to join since I saw Pinay Mommies Community from my friend AC. So, here is more of me:
Born in the month of September (so is why SeptemberCharm) as Stephanie S. Cruz. People call me “Phanie” or “Panyang”. I grew up in a very simple life. I love pink, blue and green. I used to draw, dance and declaim (I don’t have a good singing voice that is why) and join contests back in grade school. My Dad a.k.a “
It was back in High School where I met the father of my lovely daughters. I have already promised to myself that I will not have any BF until I graduated in HS so even after our exchange of love notes, I rejected Ronald. He never talked to me again.
I took up BS Customs Administration in PMI Colleges in
I am now a mother of two wonderful kids named Keanna Steffi and Haley Roneese. They were born 7 years apart. Kikay is turning 9 and Roey is almost 17 months now.
I worked as a Technical Customer Care Representative at Convergys Services Phils for almost 6 years. That is where I’ve learned a lot about the net. I started my Septembercharm blog last 2008 just to share my thoughts as a daughter, a mom, wife and friend. The posts that I have back then were mostly about Keanna until she asked me to create a blog of her own which gave birth to The Sweet Life of A Big Sister .
I resigned from IBM Business Services as an HR Generalist (agent) just recently. I am now loving and living the life of SAHM. A tough decision to make but I know, I will soon see the benefits of it. I then decided to try a new hobby, sewing! Everything about the new hobby will be shared in Stitches Of Life blog. My inspiration is my Mama who passed away last December. It broke me, but thanks to my loving family, relatives and friends that I still look at life in a very positive way. I am still learning a lot in terms of being a hands-on-mom, multi tasking (it’s hard to do this at home than at work, honestly!) and blogging. I just wish that I would be able to impart or share something of value to you fellow mommies, because I am overwhelmed by tips, opportunities and friendship that you all offer. Thank you! And, KUDOS to all of us here in the Weekend Blog Follower Caravan.
Corn Munch
I have an almost 17 month old toddler and I love the fact that she will definitely try any food you give her. I am not sure if it's true that your baby will love eating anything you've craved or favorite during pregnancy but I somehow see it in my daughter. I loved and drooled over buttered sweet corn, Buko (coconut) Pandan shake and Fuji
This photo shows her first try eating corn on a cob and surprisingly, she knows how to hold and munch it.
Enjoying every tiny bite with her big sister, Keanna.
My share on
Dental Visit
It was just very recent when I brought both my kids to a dental clinic. Since we have HMO coverage, the three of us can have free cleaning and a limited tooth filling. My elder daughter had 4 fillings in her molars so we had to pay for the excess. It is but alright since I had it reimbursed afterwards. My younger daughter just had her teeth cleaned in a very mild
manner. The dentist’s assistant had to ask me to carry her in my lap to clean her teeth since she is just 1 year old. As for me, I had my teeth cleaned and had fillings too.
I am now a little strict with how both my kids take care of their teeth. I am actually comparing the mommy me when I only have one kid. She had dental issues when she was a little younger and lost several teeth at an early age. My toddler, of course may have baby teeth but she has to learn how to take care of it since these primary teeth will eventually be replaced by the permanent ones. I regret that I wasn't able to take care of mine, some permanent teeth that is. Now, I have to wear dentures in replacement of those that I lost.
How awful, isn't it? Anyways, I am a believer that having healthy baby teeth is fundamental to each child's overall health, wellness and development. I may be having a hard time cleaning the teeth of my toddler but it is really necessary for her to get the habit of it. She may not coordinate most of the time but Mommy always succeeds. =)
And, did you know that baby teeth (just like with adults) should be brushed too w
ith a pea-sized toothpaste? I use a brand intended for babies which claims to have Xylitol in it. It is said to have no fluoride in it and so is okay even if swallowed. It is Strawberry flavored and can be used by kids up to age 6. So why did I bring my kids to the dentist? Aside from the fact that we would like to grab the HMO benefits, I'd like my girls to shrug off the fear of dentists and establish a long-term hygiene too. My elder daughter is so afraid of a dentist which is why I'm planning to bring her more often. Imagine an 8 year old crying like a baby while dental fillings are being applied? Good thing that Dr. Cathy is very nice. She even
gave my daughter Keanna a new purple toothbrush to use.
Now that we had our teeth cleaned and filled...our next step to further prevent tooth decay is a balance diet. As many of us know, diet and nutrition also affects oral health. I am now a stay-at-home-mom so I should be very strict with the food that my kids eat. I'd like to start by limiting sugary foods and drinks. This may be a little hard for my 8 year old though since she needs to gain weight but I think proper guidance will help us win this. She brushes her teeth 3x/day. By the way, I also found out that food rich in carbohydrates can cause tooth decay. With that being mentioned, this is definitely a challenge. Ha-ha!
