#CalpolMakeNoMistake

When my kids are sick one things I really dislike is that I need to figure out how much medicine to give!

There are some meds that indicates the age range of the child and some others that you'll need to compute for the weight of the child. I don't know how to compute. The doctors most of the time do it for us when we are in their clinics. But if our child's weight suddenly increases or decreases, how are we to know how to compute?

This is where this wheel comes in handy:

The wheel is an easy guide for us parents on what's the correct dose to give to our kids when they're sick. Just turn the wheel, match the weight of your child and you'll see the different doses on the you'll need to give on the different kinds of Calpol products.

In giving our child medicine, it is VERY IMPORTANT that we give them the correct doses. It's crucial that we give them what is right and not what we deem ourselves right. Medicines when given at a wrong dose (too little or too much) is not helpful and can instead cause more harm than good!

I know there are times when we are panic stricken because of worry. But let's just breathe, and take a second to read and know what the correct dose to give our kids.

Parenting is tough. As much as we want to protect our kids, we need to let then grow, explore and experience things on their own. I honestly don't mind the mess, because I know they'll eventually learn to get organized. We just need to guide them and remind them every so often without blowing our top off (this happens a LOT with me!) we need to be more patient with them.

We all learn from experience. We take in the good ones and improve and stay away from the bad decisions we've made. We strive to do better. Mistakes are there to make us learn, so let's learn from it.

ANSON SUPERMARKET - Grocery delivery!!

Sharing is caring, so we can't keep it a secret any longer. THIS is where we get out groceries! Well, Anson Supermarket has been where we have been purchasing all of our kids' diapers! From Kailee to Connor to Shobe! Yes, yes, yes! A week into the lockdown, it just occurred to us that we can get our groceries from them - but then we thought, we didn't want to force them to do it - after all it's a different time now. But when we asked and they said yes, it was like we won the lottery. We sent out our list - a very VERY SPECIFIC list and voila after a day or two (we weren't in a rush) they told us to schedule a pick up. Please remember that I am sharing this with you guys because I believe so much in the saying 'sharing is caring'. Please be mindful of your language and respect those who will call or message you about your orders. Also note that some items might NOT be available - so manage your expectations. They're a ...

#CookingQuest: Winter Melon Soup ala Didi #EnhancedCommunity

One of the things that gets ooohs and aaaahs in a chinese restaurant is the #WinterMelonSoup. You may ask why? Well because with this soup, restaurants use the winter melon itself as a huge bowl to serve the soup! It's a sight to see as you'll be amazed how they were able to pull it off. You'll see the whole winter melon, and then suddenly they're take out the top part and when you peek in, the soup is inside together with meat bits and other veggies! My mom has tried it at home, and I remember her being nervous that the winter melon doesn't break apart, kunde sira ang presentation! So during this #EnhancedCommunityQuarantine, I chanced upon Theo's Farm that they have winter melon, so I ordered. When I saw it - I knew I wouldn't be able to pull off the carving and serving the winter melon. It actually made the preparation easier. I had to ask my mom, and she told me to steam the winter melon to soften it. Honestly, I don't t...

#CookingQuest: Chicken Stir Fry

When I was little, I used to see my mom, guama and aunt cook in the kitchen. I found it amazing, that they have this idea in their heads on what to cook for us. I remember my guama had small bits of plastic that when opened contained shirmp and cooked pork fat. I asked her what it was for, and she told me that it was to add 'flavor' to the dish whatever it was. I don't remember seeing her look at any cook book or a paper with recipe. She just whipped them all up! When I got older, I became interested in baking - baking because I was afraid of splattering oil. So I stuck to baking for a while. It was only when I got married that I had to dive in and cook. When my Panget and I were newly married, we didn't have a helper during the weekend, so I had to step up. There were times that we didn't have a helper at all (we borrowed my mom's helper to clean), so I had to do all the cooking. It was there that I learned to whip s...
