Mahilig din ba kayong mag ipon ng mga pinaglagyan ng mga regalo? mahal din ang paper bag ngayon, di na kailangan bumili ng pang balot pag mag reregalo ka tapos bawas pa sa basurang itatapon natin. Ngayon iniipon ko mga soft plastic mula sa chitchirya o kung ano-ano, may mga organisasyon dito sa lugar namin kung saan ni re-recyle nila ang mga soft plastic. Nakaka guilty din isipin na ang dami nating basurang tinatapon araw-araw.

Sa New Zealand pag nag rent ka you have every quarter of house inspection. They will email you 3 weeks prior the inspection day. Hindi ang may ari ng bahay ang mag inspect kundi ang iyong property manager. E-check nila kung may sira na dapat e-repair and also kung napapanatili mo bang malinis ang property. Ngarag ako pag house inspection kasi linis bawat kasulok sulokan. I pray to God na makabili na kami ng sarili naming property. We are considering on getting a section of land pero depende nalang, sana bumaba ang housing value dito sa NZ kasi sa ngayon napaka mahal.

Warning: My intention is not to mom shame, I don't want to focus on the obvious. In such thing I want to be part of the solution.

Baby formula shortage is been a problem for a year now.The problems began last year as the COVID-19 pandemic led to disruptions in labor, transportation and raw materials. The manufacturers are trying its best to produce more formula as they can to meet the consumers demand yet it is not enough. This problem will continue to rise until we find a solution.

I've been very vocal with my breastfeeding journey and my stand about it. I understand that not everybody will agree to it however I wanted to encourage more parents to push breastfeeding despite of the circumstances. I know it's not just pulling your shirt off and offering your breast, there is more to that. Breastfeeding is not easy. Alot of us mama experience discomfort in the first few weeks after giving birth. Adding to that are the unpleasant effects : blocked ducts, abscesses, cracked and bleeding ni**le and so much more. This is one of the crucial time that mothers need the full support of the entire household. I encourage everybody to assist all our Mama's in breastfeeding. Be more engage and be informed about the benefits of exclusive breastfeeding.Research has long shown that family is the main influence on breastfeeding. This is not only a mother and baby exclusive bond. This is a teamwork of the entire household and the community.

When I had my first child, one of my main goal is to give her the best milk, my understanding about the best milk is one of those expensive formula in the market. I was not informed about all these healthy benefits of breastfeeding. No one educate me about storing breastmilk. So right after my parental leave I spent most of maternity benefits on her milk. I normally spend 5000 pesos a month or $150 on formula alone. That was really hard for a single mom who's the only provider. Moving forward I met my husband, got married and I promise to myself that If God will gave me another baby I will breastfeed them. And Im grateful that despite of the obvious I remained and believed in my goal that I can exclusively breastfeed them two. With the right people around and some support groups in social media I continue my breastfeeding journey. I am always inspired with some mothers who are working full-time bringing their breastmilk storage at work. Some stay at home mothers who tandem feed their babies. Some mothers who still manage to breastfeed even after surgery while enduring all the pains inside their body. Those testimonys that ignites my goal to continue and hopefully inspired more mothers or the whole family to keep on pushing and normalize breastfeeding.

Mga nanay paano nyo po pina-plano ang inyong uulamin? Ako po ay may nakalagay na listahan na pinapaskil ko sa among kusina. Minsan nasusunod minsan naman hindi.
Dito po sa ibang bansa hindi masyadong pinapansin ang mga buto-buto ng manok, binibili kasi lagi ng ibang lahi yung boneless pero tayong mga pinoy mahilig tayo sa sabaw kaya pag sabaw na pinag usapan dapat may buto-buto kasi yun ang magpapasarap ng luto. Dito mura lang ang buto-buto ng manok kasi kukunti lang bumili kalimitan mga asyano lang, pero gustong-gusto ng asawa ko pag sinasabaw ko na ito, takam na takam sya rito. So ito na po hapunan namin $8.99 para sa 4 na malalaking buto nga manok. Nilagyan ko ng 3 carrots siguro 50 cents tapos kalahati ng celery na $1.99 isang sibuyas, isang kamatis opo mahilig po ako maglagay ng kamatis sa mga luto ko, isang luya at 1 capsicum.
Sa estima ko po gumastos kami ng $13.99 Para hapunan po namin may matitira pang kunti nito para agahan. Napaka mura na po kasi ang mahal na bilihin lalo na dito sa New Zealand. Kaya dapat wais ka.

28/04/2022

Anong gusto nyo po sa mothers day?
Ako simple Lang.
1. Hindi puno ang basket ng maddening damit
2. Wala akong tupiin
3 . May hapunan na Para di na ako magluto
4. Malinis ang bahay

Ang Saya nga naman

Women Empowerment begins at home.It started from the very 4 walls of our house. In order to empower woman across the world Change should start within our personal lives. Leading our kids and giving them a positive example to be the best version of themselves.
I take pride of my role as a stay-at-home mama. I always believe that blessings comes with big responsibilities. I am making a big impact in my kids life,to be more stronger , be confident and live a positive life.

So whether you are a working mom or I stay at home you deserve all the honor

Ps: heres a quick video of me preparing lunch while cooking, doing our laundry and looking after the kids. It never stops from there after, feeding them, had to gave them a quick shower because this Mama needs to pop in to the shop to buy some things for my Pasabuy business. Little income for this Mama. If you haven't follow my Pasabuy page and you wanted to buy anything from New Zealand pls look for Pasabuy from New Zealand

Few weeks ago we started planting some vegetables in our mini pots. Now it's starting to grow so beautifully. I'm just waiting for the right time to transplant our veggies and I was thinking of just feeding it with organic fertilizer.

Speaking of organic fertilizer this is like a throwback in our past. Back in our elementary days, we always have our veggie garden at school,it's our project in the Technology Livelihood education or EPP back then, our job is to collect cow dung manure and bring it to school to feed our garden. I don't like that idea before now I understand how important it is to teach the young generations.
Are we still doing it in our public schools?

Their daddy is gone for fishing, so it's just the 4 of us the whole day, let's make this day fun and exciting, so we'll start splashing the bath and putting colors on it with this bath crayons they've got from their big sister.

Alot of you may know we are building a house back home. I didn't upload any progress of our construction coz everything gets a little overwhelming.
We finally had our roof trusses, and tomorrow we will sign a contract for the roofing installation. I was not informed that the roofing alone cost arms and legs. We used C-purlins, flat bar and angle bar for our trusses and we just spoke to the contractor for our roof. Once we have the roof our next move will be our ceiling. So we will be using metal furring and hardiflex for our ceiling.
Then we already got our electrical materials, except for the lights. I also order our rain shower and a faucet for the vanity sink.
Lucky my papa has a friend who supplies some furnitures so he'll be the one to make our doors with discount. The window 🪟 I don't have any idea, let's see how our budget will go including the floor tiles.
I will upload a short video on the list and cost of materials we used in this building construction.
It was such a busy day I am a thousand miles away from home but needed to be on track with everything, glad there is internet I can easily contact some shops about their price list.
Time to rest. Goodnight everyone

Mila spilled 2 glasses of black currant drink, I yelled at her, I was so angry, then Paimaarire bump her face on this jug that I was carrying.
A sick baby, girls who are absent at school endlessly making a mess fighting and a stained carpet. A mama who don't have enough sleep. Where am I among all this Chaos?

I get tired too I yelled at my kids I get exhausted but that doesn't mean I don't love my kids. I'm a tired mama who needs to carry on with this whole motherhood thing.

Anyway any tips to remove the stains from your carpry

33 days before Christmas

Gladly we manage to put up our tree yesterday. Paimaarire was so busy removing all the Christmas decorations from our tree while we were putting it up. She was so amazed with the lights and Christmas balls around her.

I'm always a big fan of Christmas. From the Christmas tree ,Christmas carols, don't forget the food, gifts,the whole spirit of Christmas. Growing up my mama will always find ways to make our very own Christmas tree. She will used a native tree in our island called Manal.os, she will start peeling the tree and it always come out so beautifully then a day before Christmas we will go from house to house with our friends to sing Christmas carols. We will divide the money we earned from the caroling so we can buy a toy or clothes on the Christmas day

Always a pleasure to remember those fond memories

Thank you the owner of the Manal.os photo for allowing me to grab it

Toilet bowl, lavatory sink is done.

Now It's time to hunt for a shower rail set. If you follow my personal profile,a month ago we started our house construction back in the Philippines.
I'll be sharing some updates and progress with it here in my page. We are hoping to start building the trusses this week so hopefully before the end of the month our humble abode will have a roof.

The whole family is so excited with it especially my parents. We sacrifice alot of things to achieve our dream house for mama and papa. Means no holiday and no shopping, tipid tipid in many areas 😅Glory to God its coming together.

What does this pandemic teaches you?

Woke up this morning reflecting and asking myself what I learned most during this lockdown. We can't deny that 2020 and 21 are the most challenging years. Countries are in deep crisis. Political and economical division and so on. The world is facing numerous challenges.
But there is this one thing that it is in my control to keep loving the people around me, investing more time on my loveones. Just be kind and treasure every minute with them.

Happy Saturday

She got caught 🤣😆

Lately Paimaarire became emotional. Whenever she got told in doing some silly things she goes to her sister for a cuddle and cry after a sec.

Ganito din ba toddler nyo?
