TRAVEL CLINIC CONSULTATION: WHY IS IT NECESSARY BEFORE TRAVELLING?
It is pretty exciting to come back to my country after four years of being away from my parents and siblings when I finally decided to move to Belgium with my husband. Now, having a baby is another story. We would like to be very careful, for she is born here and with all the atmosphere we have in the Philippines for a toddler from another country-we decided to have a consultation at the Children’s Hospital, here in University Hospital, Brussels. Laia has completed all her Kind en Gezin vaccines and there are a lot of questions in my mind a new Mom with regards to precautions that we have…

Laia’s First Day At The Dentist
Intentionally, we want Laia to have all medically related visit before she visits the Philippines. We have decided to let her visit the dentist now that she is two. Also, we have booked and did the consultation at the Travel Clinic, at the children’s hospital to for she will be first time travelling to the Phillippines. This experience will be shared in my next post. In the meantime, I would like to share with you all new Mom’s my experience with my toddler at the dentist. Many of us, including I myself, have been scared for years with the dentist. In fact, living on a simple basis coming from a family…

The Smurfs Turns 60!
As we are living in Belgium we are interested in knowing facts about our country. Learning about Tin Tin, Mannequin Pis, beer, chocolates, waffles and many other more Belgian stuff. One of our favourites is The Smurfs- are Belgian made by a comic designer 1958, which I saw later of my age as a young adult in movies. The Smurfs (French: Les Schtroumpfs; Dutch: De Smurfen) is a Belgian comic franchise centred on a fictional colony of small, blue, human-like creatures who live in mushroom-shaped houses in the forest. The Smurfs was first created and introduced as a series of comic characters by the Belgian comics artist Peyo (the pen…

Surviving Toddlers Consecutive Sickness
Should I say surviving because it has literally given us so many challenges and then here we are surviving the last days at the hospital? Ah! Positively we have the grace of the Lord and our strength and sanity are sustain through his grace. A young mother in me, having so many things to attend to. The only hope you have is praying, keep your head together and stay calm. How can you calm down with 2 consecutive toddler sicknesses when you are also in treatment? The key is a calm husband (laughs) like he tells me to breathe, sleep, relax, I will bring you everything you need and so…

Laia’s First Photoshoot Experience with Gold Fish, Kids Webstore
Nowadays, it is now on the trend to have diversity when it comes to faces of clothing brands and models. I would like to say that I am a big fan of modelling since then, and I wonder if my daughter would be pretty on wearing clothes for brands. Since she is too young, we don’t really want her to be tired of too many photo shoots. It was all trying to see a good dress for her coming second birthday, and it happened that one of a very good clothing shop for kids online that I am following is welcoming fresh faces for their clothes to be worn. Gold…

Mother’s Day Giveaway from King’s ID Bracelet
I have never been so conscious of safety since I had my own child. It is true that we parents should have the alertness to see where our kids playing. Supervision is the key but we are not perfect so there are ways being used nowadays to improve and help us all parents. For babies exist the baby phones, baby cameras, but outside when they start moving, playing and running around it’s another story. I remember a friend told me when she lost her boy in Italy while they are busy looking at the tourist spots and the kid was playing with some pigeons. He was lost. Imagine the feeling…

Mama Discovers: Babyboom 2018
I can say that I had my Salon de Babyboom experience 2016 when I had Laia, and it is always different from a perspective of an expecting Mom and a Mom that has a child, who grew a bit with knowledge about parenting. I had so many things learned now, for example, things that are truly necessary for my kid and not. For what is worth it of trying to improve my everyday life as a parent. It is now a step up in my parenthood journey to learn even more, together with my blogger mama friend Sibylle www.biotylicious.blogger.be and my husband Marlon, we went to the Babyboom, this time with…

Why Parents Made Camping For School Registration
Where to Begin? I am very excited about the idea that my daughter Laia will go to school next year, January 2019. I have heard pieces of advice, like on from a neighbour what is the best school to go, where her son goes, and with the barber who always a chit chat with my husband, is the same school they are referring us to go too. Enrolment in the Philippines is very easy and we have tons of kids in a class but you will not get lost in the normal process. And then we found out how it works here in Belgium. We don’t believe the two referring people…

My Daughter’s First Indoor Playground Experience
Why Choose Indoor Playground Creativity for kids and toddlers are around the community, in which we have playgrounds, park, and libraries in each commune to enjoy the rest of the family time with learning and fun. With our days as young parents, we are thinking about how can we let Laia (our daughter) enjoy and learn at the same time, all year round. Of course, with this freezing cold weather, we cannot go and walk at the park. I have considered so many alternatives, like playing at home, but since she stopped going at the créche due to so many administrative issues we had with my schooling I have…
