Milk for My Toddler; Freebie For Mommy!

Since she turned 3, Roey's grown fast - mentally and physically. A number of her big sister's hand me down clothes will no longer fit her or rather look small/short on her. She has been a little picky when it comes to clothing (she prefers the "sporty" wear). She continue to amaze us with her wit and energy. Yes, she is really energetic even in between sick days. She is playful, curious, talkative (and loud at that), silly, ambitious at her young age and sweet. She said that she's also pretty! LOL! I must be very lucky you may say. But hey, there's more! She is also like any other toddler there is - 

Gets envious of her big sister.
Gets too picky with food and clothes.
Sometimes says no to eating and keep asking for milk instead.
Runs around the house with dirty feet.
Shouts at anyone when she's not in the mood.
Gets a little over curious (pakialamera in short!)
Does not want to let her playmates go home.
Does not want to take a bath or get out of the bathroom anymore.
Does not sleep unless Mommy goes first. huhu!



I can name few more of what I call Roey cons but even if I do, it would not change the fact that we truly and madly LOVE her. Some would say that this generation's behavior is because of their milk. Hmmm, I can't agree whole-heartedly with that. I actually breastfed her for 5 months. Now that she's 3, we chose Nido 3+ for her and glad that she liked it instantly. 



Late last year, we saw Nestle Nido 3+ in a different packaging. The 1000g pack (normally in cans) has a free canister. I immediately thought of the possible purposes of the canister once empty (my creative mind must have been awake that time!) and so we ended up buying the ones with freebies. We now have 3 canisters (we did not see this freebie offer for few weeks). The first 2 canisters already contain flour and cocoa powder! I am planning to use the new one for sugar and I am hoping to still catch up the promo next week so I'll have one for the powdered sugar, one for baking soda, one for chocolate chips, for Brown sugar, for baking powder and many more! 

In short, the best part is for Roey (the milk, of course!) and what's left is for Mommy! Hooray! I am not planning on using the canisters for their toys because it is obviously too small - I have durable plastic boxes for their toys!

Rain = Cake

It's been reported that there are 2 Low Pressure Areas in the Phils. now that is why it has been raining on and off. In some other cities, there's flood and even landslides. Sad.


Photo credits to my friend Ched


I am not sure though why I am drooling for cakes when it rains. A slice of what's pictured above will definitely satisfy my taste buds! Good thing my aunts visited us yesterday and prepared Champorado for us. Good enough for me since I can only fulfill my eyes' satisfaction with this cake for now.

I am linking up to sis G's Thursday Brownies today. For more of the Filipino color, click on the meme page below.

PF: Pink for the 1st!


I've been looking forward to share this special post for Pink Fridays. TGIF! (sorry for being late!) Special, simply because this post will serve two purposes. First, to join the Friday meme and secondly, to help my friend Vanj in extending the promotion of her baking business. I've been a fan since my daughter Keanna & I tasted her very first cake. I can still clearly remember how it exuded so much deliciousness which painted sweet smiles in our lips and made my daughter show a sign of "peace". Haha! Sorry, that I guess ain't a peace sign in this photo but a request for a second slice of cake!

Me, my daughter Keanna and pretty SAM

And since I was convinced that Vanj made us want more, it was from her I ordered Roey's 1st birthday cake. Haley Roneese a.k.a Roey celebrated her 1st birthday last October (2010). Hello Kitty was our chosen theme but with Pink as the main color instead of red.

The invitation made my moi!

I took the time to create her pinkish invitation. Had fun playing with it and was quite impressed with what I've made. (good job to me on this one!)

Roey as she blew the candle and check her guests.

The celebrant wore a Pink & Off White gown especially tailored by her late GrandMama. Photos by her Godparent Erik. Thanks Ninong!

1st HK birthday cake

And the lovely cake with my daughter's HK stuffed toy on top. Vanj did a great job on the details. I was really surprised that she creatively used Pink & a little Yellow as part of the theme. She told me that it was inspired by the hair clip on Hello Kitty's left ear, haha! That hair clip happens to be owned by big sister Keanna. I lost the original bow and decided to use the clip instead. Turned out to be a good idea, right? The cake was a hit! Everyone liked how lovely it was to look at and of course, we love how it tasted too! Vanj, keep it up and more power to your biz!

So, that goes our entry to this week's Pink Friday. For more PINK entries, click the pretty badge below.

Quick pick


Since the school year started, I've been looking out for snacks I can give to my daughter which she'll eat for her 15 mins break. Well, of course, I have to get some cereals for a quick breakfast in case she's running late for school.

But, aside from the usual sandwiches and packed lunch, she's requested for something she can just grab and enjoy. That is when I bought her these wafer sticks, Champola. I was thinking that she wouldn't like the chocolate flavor so I decided to get the strawberry flavored wafer stick. Of course, because of her love for strawberries, that's what she tasted first and I wasn't surprise that she loved it. Unexpectedly, she loved the choco flavored too and is requesting for me to buy her the Mocha flavor next time.

Ready For Solids

It hasn't been a while when I introduced Roey to solid foods.
I was actually hesitant at first and told myself that I'll wait for her 6th month before I let her take solids. But, I saw her readiness and her eagerness to taste something else, haha! I had to check out Baby Center and make sure she is indeed ready. So when she was 22 weeks, I had her taste Nestle Cerelac. I also had her taste apples and bananas already.


The very first solid she tasted was a fuji apple, where I had her hold a slice and she eagerly licked it as you can see the picture. That gave me the hint that she is ready enough for solids.


In this photo, I fed her about 2 tablespoons of Cerelac.


She enjoyed it, right?

Now, I found this list of Top 10 best foods for babies from Baby Center and I'd like to share it with you all. I myself will have to try and give these to my baby.

* Avocados
* Blueberries
* Broccoli
* Dark green leafy vegetables
* Garbanzo beans
* Lentils
* Mandarin oranges
* Meat
* Prunes
* Squash

Cool off

Summer is indeed here! It is so freaking hot here in the Philippines!

So, to cool off, here's a tub of ice cream for you all. My daughter Keanna picked the Melon flavor of Selecta's Pinoy Sorbetes. I was hesitant at first but gave in to her request and she's indeed right that it tastes good!
And cheap too! Haha!
P99.00 = $ 2.20
