Mommy Ning

Few weeks ago, mommies were invited by the Nido to launch the new look of their brand. Being a Nido kid myself, during our growing years, I have seen how the brand evolved into what it is now. We know time has changed and parents now, including me, have become more aware of the proper nutrition our children needs. Every mom always spend good number of minutes checking the ingredients of each food item we buy as well as its nutritional content. NIDO PROTECTUS 3+ now reinforces the need for nutritional benefits of growing children thus made it simple for mommies and encourages them to “always check the label”. I guess this mantra goes for all the food we buy for our kids including us adults. Now that their new look has become more simpler and more informative. Each box contains the DHA, PREBIO 3, Iron, Zinc, and other essential vitamins and minerals that help support our children’s immunity, growth and development. It also contains a different strain of Lactobacillus rhamnosu...

When my youngest turned three months, his distinct baby smell vanished. You know the best smell there is are baby's right? I'm sure mommies will agree with me on this.  So I thought, I would just use products which will somehow give him distinct smell and bring back those baby smell of his just like his ate which I enjoyed until she was two years old. But no, he is really different. So I had to accept that fact. When I joined a mommy group, they were raving about this body wash which they claim to have long lasting scent and smells really good. Well, if most of the mommies has good claims about it, I know I must try it too. So I ordered it from the groupbuy and got it after weeks and immediately tried it. Lo and behold, what most of the mommies claims were true!  So let me tell five reasons why you should give this product a try. 1. Local Product. I am a supporter of local products and anything that is made by WAHMs, I strongly support them. In order for our...

Producing safe food should be the ultimate goal of any agri-food system enterprise. By the time the meat reaches the consumer’s kitchen, they should be assured of the many safety measures taken by these companies to deliver fresh and quality meat. Big brand names are not enough to guarantee the viability of the meat we purchase. The problem lies with the company’s delivery system. Most companies contract third parties to deliver freshly slaughtered meat with no proper monitoring systems on the trucks' temperature and travel time. It is common knowledge that some of these contractors turn off the truck’s refrigeration system during travel to lessen fuel costs. Proper handling of products during delivery also plays a key role in maintaining quality. Dropping of products directly to the floor, or carrying carcasses on the bare backs of handlers are common practices, which compromise the product. The meat supplier’s delivery system is usually where it falls short. Meat produc...

Busy is a worn out word for all of the mommies I know. For the past few months, I was totally swamped with too much life events, mother duties and all other things that I have totally neglected my online nook. My youngest son just turned one year old and I already made up my mind that I would not to throw him a party because I always dread “the” moment where I have to beg for my guests to attend to my events. But sarcasm aside, I know how busy we are in this day of our lives. Everyone else is making ends meet plus all that life events in theirs as well. But to the last minute, I decided otherwise. After all, he is already my youngest and there will no longer be more Christenings and first birthdays. It was barely a month to prepare and I am thankful for the suppliers, my family and our friends for all the help.
