animal.print.love

hey, I just want to share with you my mini collection of clothing with animal prints. there's just something about these prints that allures me. mind you, I'm scared of the real ones. :)

say no to animal skin, and yes to animal print! :)

 





I have to say, I'm a big fan of animal prints.

but always remember that it has to be in moderation. you don't want to see someone wearing animal print from head to toe. that would be awful!

and also, never ever wear different prints at the same time. just keep it simple, and you're good to go.

I'm planning to buy animal print shoes as well.

xoxo! :)




Pacifier Trouble

This one is for all the mommies who want to stop their child from using pacifiers.

I started giving pacifier to my daughter when she was two months old because she needed something to suck on otherwise she wouldn't stop drinking her milk from a bottle, which can lead to stomach pain and vomiting. after a year I gave birth to my son, and yes i also gave him pacifier for the same reason as his sister. At first it was a huge relief, aside from the problem being solved, it also helped me to put them to sleep a lot easier. They got really used to it that they couldn't sleep without it. I remember going out in the middle of the night just to buy pacifier when we couldn't find the old one.



during their pacifier days.


but then it turned the other way around they don't like to eat anymore. As long as they have pacifiers in their mouth they won't eat anything.

so, I thought I had to do something before it gets worse and besides they're not babies anymore. I told them that if they continue to use it, their teeth would fall off. hahaha. I know trying to scare them isn't a good idea but there was nothing else I could think of. sadly, I failed! they were not scared at all.

soIi googled it, and read some interesting ideas. so far, after trying some of those, there's one that is most effective. here's what I did:

I made a chart for each of them where i could draw a star that will record the days they didn't use their pacifiers. for each five stars which is equivalent to five days of no pacifier they will get a big surprise. so you know, kids just love surprises.  

here are the actual charts:

my daughter's chart, she filled in the chart first.



My son's chart, who took a little longer to fill it all.

As you can see they both achieved to fill in the boxes with stars, yehey! ☺

It has been almost a year now, and since then they never use pacifiers again.

xoxo!

What I did yesterday

 What I did yesterday which happened to be a black saturday.

My dad had to meet someone at greenhills. So, my kids and I went with him since we would also meet my sister(ate les) and her family.

this is what I wore. A blouse from whoops, a skirt I bought a long time ago which I have worn for only three times, a blue skinny belt, and a thrifted black sandals that I bought while I was in Iligan City for only 120 pesos. Would you believe?

I had fun driving, it was quick and smooth. You’ll be glad to see EDSA with no traffic jams.  We arrived for less than 30 minutes and found a vacant parking lot easily.  I wonder how things would be like if this is going to be the normal every day in Metro Manila, hmmm. i bet it would be fun.

Too bad I left my camera inside the car, thus I wasn’t able to take photos while we were there.

We got to meet zyad again, my sister's son, whose such a cutie(mashaAllah). We ate snacks at promenade then the kidr played at timezone.

Ate les and i tried on some shoes and we both ended up buying the same style and color of nice looking pair of shoes. Does that mean we got the same taste? hahaha. :)

we luckily bought them at a discounted price because the owner of the store was my dad's former officemate. he would even want us to take it for free, but with kindness, we refused. 

then we went straight home because my sister texted that she and her husband were on their way to our house to visit us and of course our dad who will be leaving the next day back to Lanao.

oh by the way, you guys should visit Regina's store at greenhills, they sell some pretty cute stuff at a very low price. i bought some goodies like stamps, erasers, stickers, and etc. for my little brother.

 here's one of the stuff i bought for my brother:

i don't know if he will like this but for me it looks interesting

interesting enough that i tore a single page from it. hahaha.

My sister and i even put some on our faces. funny, we were having fun like children. :)

I guess life is more fun when you act like a child once in a while. xoxo!
