PLAYGROUND: Bibi Shoes & Saltwater Sandals

Shobe started walking at 10.5 months.  Yes, she was that fast.  She crawled just a short while - and then progressed to walking.  Now at almost a year old, she has been walking steadily.



I have to be honest.  I wasn't prepared.  We had no footwear available in the house for a 10 month old.  We were clueless.  Kailee was gifted by a pair of soft shoes years ago, and that was what Shobe would use when she walked around the house and outside the house.  But I noticed that it wasn't giving her the right kind of support.

It was only last week that I realized that I really needed to get her a good pair of shoes to aid her walking journey.  I had only two brands in mind - Bibi Shoes and Saltwater Sandals.  It was a very good thing that I can find both brands (and Melissa too!) at the Playground Store in Trinoma.  I headed there and decided to buy two pairs of shoes.  One Saltwater Sandals for Shobe to wear everyday and a nice pair of Bibi shoes for a little more formal feel.  I was hoping to buy a silver or gold pair of shoes - but they were all out of stock.  I think we were really meant to get a pair of white shoes.

Look how cute they are on her feet.


My kids are fans of Bibi Shoes - Connor's school shoes are Bibi, his PE rubber shoes are also from Bibi.  Kailee loves wearing her versatile Bibi slip ons.  I find it really nice because she can pair it with anything.  How I wish there was an adult version.

Breastfeeding Mama!

"Welcome to the Milk Mama Diaries Carnival (July). For this month, we join the National Nutrition Council - Department of Health in celebrating Nutrition Month with the theme "Isulong ang Breastfeeding - Tama, Sapat at EKsklusibo!" Participants will share their experiences in promoting breastfeeding or their tips on how breastfeeding should be promoted. Please scroll down to the end of this post and check out the other carnival participants." When I got pregnant, I knew instantly that I would be breastfeeding my baby.  My mom found it odd that I decided to breastfeed - this was because I grew up formula fed.  My twin brother and I were given formula since birth, there was no attempt whatsoever to breastfeed.  In fact my mom recounted that she was given medicine to stop the milk production.  My pedia, Dr. Joy Ty-Sy said that during my mom's time (when she had us) it was the boom of formulas, that it was the trend that time.  I grew up with formula, my c

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 full functioning

#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 think I can w
