Challenges of a Singlemom (Christening preparation)

As the Christening of my daughter is fast approaching, there arises challenges for us singlemom. Imagine that you need to decide on your own about the whole celebration (well, of course you can ask feedback on your friends and parents) but at the end of every negotiation, it's still YOU.

Financially, you prepare your self for the cost of every piece from candle down to decorations, colors to menus, church to reception and the likes :).

You need to maximize each time of the day before the event comes. doing several follow ups on your supplier, caterer and doing the do-it-yourself invitations and souvenirs. Plus need to do the mommy-time come weekend. 

I calendar myself for 3 months to give way to this event. In a week time i will see my sweet-fruit of my labor, with a very few finishing.

Mall: A mother's hub?

The mall is one of my most visited place. Why? Simply because on my way home the terminal going to our home is its nearby, and there's a convenience walking in an air condition area.

In that case i am so updated of the SALE day and new open store.

Guess its in moms nature that whenever we are in a mall we go to children's shop, bookstore and department store(of course in children section).

Like an instance the other day, was just walking around and check out bench to see a bag, i end up buying my little girl's cologne: baby bench colonia bubble gum scent.


Anyway, no regret i love the scent! i tried the other scents but this one got me :)

Checklist: Christening

I am fortunate enough that my work only requires 5 days in a week. So i make it a point that i spend my time wisely for my daughter, family, closest friends and personal things (bills and relaxation!)

This month's priority is to get organize and finalize things for my baby's christening, since my target date is 1st Saturday of April.

Here is my checklist:


  • Church- will book the date next week!
  • Requirements-such as birth certificates, parish letters..all set.
  • Catering- 50% payment is made.
  • Guest list- way to final draft.
  • Baptismal Cake- next week ordering.
  • Baptismal Dress and Shoes-a week before her christening.
  • Souvenirs- done! with some finishing.
  • Decorations- being conceptualized
Giving myself a stress-free will make this event wonderful for everyone. A lot of calendar reviewing (and expenses too!).


Baby Light: A must

Always believed that a well lighted area for the baby especially during the night is as important as her place to sleep.

the lampshade is in the top 10 of my baby-needs-list during my pregnancy. I was on the look out for a nice looking shade so that she can still use it when she eventually grows up.

Only a 5 watts of this pinned light is enough to cover our room (my baby actually share room with me). Not to bright.

Helps me during feeding and changing time. 

Hope all soon to be moms out there include baby light on their shopping list.
I must say. It's a Must.

Athena's ALL Women's RUN



Athena ALL WOMEN’S RUN on March 19, 2011  at the SM Mall Of Asia (across IMAX Parking lot), Pasay City.

Human heart nature


Above photos are some of the human heart nature products. what i love most about this product is that is ALL NATURAL and Philippine made! Very too little that i find a product so well.

My number 1 favorite is the "body butter" which i used during my 6weeks of pregnancy and continuously using now even post birth! I have very minimal stretch marks and not black in color! i just love it!

My new favorite is the "all natural deodorant" in less that 2 weeks my underarm skin lightens. works for me since i am just 4 months post-birth.

Least of my favorite is the shampoo, may because its less bubbly than the usual shampoo. but i love the mandarin scent!

Visit their site to know more, ladies!

Thank you tag

Will be using this thank you tag on her Christening:


what you think mom? 


DPT Vaccine

Today, my 4 months old baby girl received her 2nd dose of DPT vaccine. The shot was given at her left thigh. Was a bit worried because sometime this afternoon she started to have slight fever and area now become tender.

And because of this my little girls becomes a bit irritable and start crying. Now, according to my mother, i should still give her paracetamol round the clock. 

So happy with calpol ! works so well with her. few minutes after taking her calpol, she starts to calm herself and is now smiling!
