Mom's World of Arts and Happiness

Being a mom of five kids, I do all research for all sort of thing that  might help me with regards to financial budgeting.  I mean, you do understand me that when you rely mainly on your salary and  all of the expenses are keep on  coming and yet you  want to provide the best  for you children. I am happy to tell that my children are not the type na magastos, they just ask for the basic and are contented to what I can provide when it comes to their need.  I have to be practical and they understand  but when it comes to their food, I make sure that even though it’s simple ; it has to be delicious and would satisfy the taste of my children. Just imagine my panic ng pati bawang eh tumaas ang presyo,  imagine mo na ung pinakamadalas na gamitin sa pagluluto eh ang taas , panu na un. My children love vegetables but I make sure to put meat on it, but purchasing meat still make a large cut in my budget. Hahahaha, ang dami kong complains but ...

They say that let's start them young, and I still remember when I first open my bank account and with that experience; I may say that it's a good thought that need to be shared to others. Saving and investing will teach our youngster some values that will definitely help them along the way Saving and investing are part of the financial literacy journey of a person, andteaching these skills prove to be most effective when started at a young age. For financial literacy advocate, columnist and author Rose Fres Fausto, teaching her three sons how to deal with money came hand-in-hand with teaching them how to read and write. Coinciding with the launch of her newest book on financial literacy entitled “The Retelling of The Richest Man in Babylon,” Fausto shares how she and her husband raised their children with high “FQ” or financial intelligence quotient:

I have been watching these tween every Monday to Friday at their TV series and it come of no surprise to me when I found out that the country’s next top clothing brand, BUM made them the newest additional brand ambassador. Miguel Tanfelix and Bianca Umali. A contract signing was done last  Thursday, July 24, 1pm at Annabel’s on Tomas Morato Avenue, Scout Delgado Street.  Both Tanfelix and Umali are GMA artists and are the youth lead stars of the top-rating teleseries titled ‘Niño’ which is aired daily on GMA Kapuso Network after 24 Oras. It is but fitting to have the two join the rosters of  young ambassadors because of the image they have created toward the Filipino televiewers. They consistently project wholesome personas.  Apart from that, both Miguel and Bianca are also considered as today’s Teen Prince and Teen Princess of GMA Telebabad.

Don’t you love when your child smile; it was as if the sweetest thing that you see. Healthy teeth mean health and wellness , as well as self confident for oneself plus self esteem. There are so many thing that we can associate with a smile, but what comes with the smile is a healthy teeth and that’s a different story.  We parent always guides are children to always brush their teeth  three times a day or every meal or after we eaten something sweet.  The problem would come when we or they don’t have a toothbrush and toothpaste with them or worst they are not doing what they are told.  As a mom we are worried if our children suffer tooth decay since tooth decay can lead to death if severe infectious happens. I recently attended a get together with other mommies to get to know the solution  when it comes to taking care of ours and our children’s teeth if the situation of not being able to brush our teeth arises.   Xylitol is a 100% natural sweeten...

I had the most fascinating date last Sunday when together with other moms and kids got to take a look at the most modern bread factory in the country: The Gardenia Plant. Who knew that one of the country’s leading educational tours takes place in a…bakery (albeit on a massive scale). With more than 2.5 million visitors in the last 10 years, majority of whom are students from 15,000 different schools, this obviously isn’t your run-of-the-mill neighborhood panaderia.

Another breakthrough and it’s a news that mommies loves to have. Filipinos love food with strong meaty flavors, which is why saucy, soupy or stir-fried dishes would usually be accentuated with pork meat or broth. It is for this reason that Ajinomoto Philippines Corporation (APC) came up with a new product called Porksavor™ All-in-One Seasoning. Porksavor™ is made from natural pork meat extract and bone broth, complete with spices and seasonings to bring out the deliciousness of home-cooked dishes. The new Porksavor™ is available in 8-gram packs for only PhP 2.00 Suggested Retail Price (SRP). It is truly an affordable way to draw pork flavor goodness in dishes without the cholesterol.
