Pambatang Solmux 200mg: The #BestTandem for my #FirstTimeSchooler

It's been three weeks since R started going to school. He is a #FirstTimeSchooler but he wasn't really new to the school environment. Ever since going yaya-less last year, he has been taking and fetching his achi with me from school everyday. He knew the guards, where the playground is, where manong fishball is, achi's classroom and even knew some of achi's classmates. 

R has always expressed that he wanted to go to school like achi. I could have enrolled him last school year but decided to delay his schooling because I felt he wasn't ready yet. Earliefr this year, when we learned he was accepted to the school, we were all very excited for him! Achi was teaching him what she learned daw in Nursery. They're so cute!
Bagong lig, gulo gulo pa hair but I was excited to take his photo! Heehee!

A few weeks before school started, our school always conducts a Parents Orientation. I always make sure to attend it not only because there are a lot of reminders from the school's head teachers, traffic flow, etc. but also because I get to meet my kids' teachers for the school year. School is our children's second home, I want them to feel secure and safe as they are at home. So when I found out that one of Y's Nursery teacher will also be R's, #Sigurado ako that R will be in good hands! 

Because I also wanted to be #Sigurado that R will enjoy his time in school. I made him a part of the preparation like buying what he needs for school. Konti lang naman because the school provides everything else. We went to the department store to buy socks and a windbreaker then to the grocery to pick his baon, I let him choose what he likes to psych him more for school! Making him part of this process is just one of the things that will make us the #BestTandem for his first year in school. 
If you ask R what he likes about school, I think his answer will be recess haha! He actually eats the snack the school gives everyday. But I always pack extra biscuits in case he wants to eat more.

He had first day jitters for a couple of days, he didn't want us to leave the classroom but when once he started to get to know his teachers and classmates, he has been making kwento of what new songs and things he learned in school. R is still adjusting though, there are days when he doesn't want to go to school and I needed to sweet talk him so he would go inside the classroom. Although I worry about R, I'm just happy he doesn't cry and I make sure he's full in the morning and in a good mood.
Papa's boy. He wants papa to be his classmate haha! This was the first day of school.
A week into school, I asked the teachers about R. I'm happy to learn that he behaves well and listens to the teachers! I am actually amazed of the things he's been telling me of what he has learned in school.
We also had a late celebration of his birthday in school. We celebrated it in school two weeks after because there was no school yet during his birthday. I wanted him to experience it like his achi! He was happy with his doughnut party in school!

Seeing R in school made me reminisce about Y's Nursery days, while she adjusted better than R, I remember she got sick a lot during her first year in school. She would come home from school with colds or cough and as much as possible I don't want the same thing to happen to R. But if he does get cough, my #BestTandem Pambatang Solmux 200mg will help him not miss out school and not get in the way of learning new things or making new friends at school.
Pambatang Solmux 200mg is trusted by many pedia and moms. It it safe and effective because of its Bacterial and Viral Expel Action.

Pambatang Solmux 200mg comes in two sizes: 60ml for Php97.80 and 120ml for Php148.64 only!

I'm really lucky that R is easy to give medicine to whether it's yummy or not but you don't have to worry about that with Pambatang Solmux 200mg because it's strawberry-flavored! Less medicine intake too because Pambatang Solmux contains 200mg of medicine per 5ml vs. other carbocisteine medicines which only contain 100mg of medicine per 5ml.
Pagod on his first day! Haha! He usually falls asleep on our way home, I guess he's tired from all the playing and singing he does in school. Heehee!

How did your kids adjust to school? Share naman your tips!

Five Reasons Why You Must Buy Beatrix NY + Beatrix NY Launch and Dwell Studio at Aruga By Rockwell

From the company that brings us Dwell Studio, Baby Plus, and Built NY, Quirks Marketing has brought in another amazing brand I am sure parents and kids will surely adore. Beatrix has landed on the shores of the Philippines!
Beatrix is a New York based company devoted to creating cool and contemporary stuff for kids. Beatrix was founded in 2007 by Claire Theobald, a mom, who was shopping for her twin's backpack and felt disappointed by the limited choices. Armed with a BA in Architecture from Columbia University and an MA in Graphic Design from Yale University, she teamed up with Marcus Woolcott to design three toddler-size backpacks: a pig, dinosaur and a penguin. And I guess the rest I have to say is history!

School starts next week! Are you mommas ready yet? Are your kids ready yet? School bag and lunchbox complete? If you haven't decided what to get yet, here's five reason why you should buy Beatrix!

1. They're super cute! Beatrix has a fun bunch of characters and I'm sure your kids would instantly have their favorite!
Each animal is a character and has a name!
Meet Percival (on the big kid pack), the dinosaur who's on a low carb diet and one of Beatrix's oldest employees. On the lunch box is Allister the Stegosaurus who loves vegetables!
Meet Penelope the little explorer who's also a yoga teacher. She's one the cutest, don't you think?
Juju is the shy one but just you wait because she's gonna conquer the whole forest with her all-girl thrash metal band, Bug Out! And she's playing bass!
This is Alexander, the robot who hovers!
There's Dieter (Ocampo? Heehee) the monkey and Nigel (Barker? Heehee) the shark!
And there's Lucas and Papar!

2. They are PVC free, lead free, phthalate free, and BPA free so it's perfectly safe for food!
Interior lining is water resistant! No need to worry about spilled juice or milk.

3. They're machine washable!
And when I say you don't need to worry about spilled food, I mean you can just throw it in the washing machine and they stay in shape! Made with heavy-duty nylon for kid-proof durability and easy cleaning!
And I can really attest that the lunchbox and backpacks do stay in their shape! Ang galing! Oli showed it to us, as in they have washed the same lunchbox and backpack for more than five times during the launch.
Time to take a bath Fei Fei! 

Wash in cold, delicate cycle of laundry machine. Make sure that the zipper is closed. Line dry.

4. They're multi-functional.
The lunch box for school. The little kid pack for their school field trip or a day out to the mall or museum. Big kid pack for when they're bigger, they can use it to school or for when you travel abroad! The wheelie bag for staycations or a sleepover or it can be your carry-on bag for short trips to Hong Kong during sembreak!
The tiger is Narangi while the penguin is Mochi! I love their names!
R loves his little kid pack. Since he doesn't go to school yet, he uses the backpack as his toy bag. Heehee!

5. They make the perfect gifts for your kids, nieces, nephews, inaanaks and even to your friends or parents who are a kid-at-heart! Make them excited for their first day of school with Beatrix!
 And we'll be the one to carry their bags and lunch boxes anyway. Heehee!

The Beatrix NY launched happened two weeks ago at Aruga by Rockwell, the new serviced apartment within Rockwell Center. It's the same building where Dean and Deluca is.
It was a super intimate launch with good food, wine, great company and lots of chika! The Beatrix characters came into life in the form of yummy cupcakes made by Mama Chows!
Mocha cupcakes! Not only they're cute but they're also super yummy!
Food was also catered by Mama Chows. There's Pasta, Chorizo Burger, Open Faced Sandwiches and Butterscotch.

The small party was turned into a shopping party too once we saw the display of Dwell Studio sheets and Dwell Studio Baby towels, toys and more! The mommas went wild! Ahihi!
Oh sheet, it's Dwell Studio! Invest in good bed sheets for a good night's sleep!
Throw pillows, bed sheets, duvet sets in King and Queen sizes. Dwell Studio will make your bed and bedroom so shala! Ayaw mo na umalis niyan sa kama! Ahihihi!
This Dwell Studio Baby display was love at first sight! I've always loved their prints. I have a travel case, art kit, lunch box and big toy caddy at home and they've been with me for two years na and it still looks new! Dwell Studio Baby has also been my go-to gift for every baby in my family!
Dwell Studio Baby Sleepsack. I never used sleepsacks with my kids but after seeing this I want another baby so I can buy one. Charaught!!! Heehee!
Left: More sleepsacks in different prints.
Right: Baby blankets which I want for one myself! They're so soft, small, perfect for small babies or traveling!
Dwell Studio toys and play sets for your little ones!

Congrats again Quirks Marketing for this very successful launch and party! This was one of the best events I've ever at attended! I was one of the last ones to leave, it's not because I don't need to be home but it was hard to leave when you're with great company and wine! Hihi!

Free Your True Colors with Stabilo

Last March, I received an invite to a private afternoon tea from one of the brands I've been using since highschool, Stabilo! I literally shrieked in my seat while reading the email. Haha! Stabilo highlighters were one of my pencil case staples from high school to college then to my office table when I was working. I had in it almost every color! And each color represents a subject or a module or deadlines. Relate ka ba? Heehee!
And school opening is upon us, most of us mommas are planning our trips (trips talaga?) to the bookstore to buy school supplies for our kids and you must know that Stabilo also has pens, pencils, color pencils and more!
Pens and blooms. So much eye candy!

STABILO has established itself as the "in-brand" of pen amongst young people all over Europe. The reason: STABILO products stand for design, trends and lifestyle. Whereas in the past the main focus was on the pens' technological features, such as the amount of ink and the line thickness, the needs and wants of those who write, highlight or draw with a STABILO are now central to product development from the very beginning. This results in innovative and high-quality products perfectly suited to modern lifestyles, especially to those of young people. (From Stabilo's Facebook Page)
Blaise Lim, Country and Marketing Manager for Stabilo Philippines
This is Ly Shiel, Senior Manager, Regional Sales and Marketing of Stabilo here in Asia, was there to tell us more about the different lines Stabilo has!


Honestly, I didn't know Stabilo has a wide range of pens. Who knew, right? And after seeing all these different pens with different features and uses, I am more in love with Stabilo!
Hangdami diba??? And there's more pa!


Here's some of my favorites:
Stabilo Point 88, Europe's number one fineliner. I have this in my bag all the time. And I love the colors! Y used this one time to doodle on my planner.
Left (straight pen): Stabilo EasyErgo 3.15, an innovative, ergonomic pen design - specially developed for children who are just starting to write. Perfect for pre-schoolers! And this pen has two versions: for right and left handed users! How awesome is that?
Right (curved pen): Stabilo EasyOriginal, an ergonomically designed rollerball. Also has the right and left handed feature.
Stabilo EasyGraph is also made for children learning how to write. It's the  first ergonomic graphite pencil especially for left- and right-handers
Stabilo Boss Mini. So cute! Fits perfectly in my bag too!
Stabilo EasyColors, just like the Stabilo EasyGraph's design, but this one is for coloring. It's the first ergonomic colored pencil especially for left- and right-handers. It's color-coded so you'll know if it's for right and left handed users. Its triangular design and unique non-slip grip moulds ensure a relaxed hand posture.
Safari-themed pens! Rawr!
We even got a few tips on doodling from Nelz Yumul of WeeWillDoodle!
