Survived Terrific Three's and a Sweet Treat #Giveaway

The Super Momma 9:40 PM giveaway , 0 Comments

Hello there first day of October! Nine months have passed and feels like the year has just started. Few days from now will be my son’s 4^thbirthday! Three years have gone by soooo fast! He is a big boy already!

This year was truly amazing, we have survived the highs and lows and still surviving all the mishaps with a smile and bravely face all the challenges. After all, the way to survive and get past through them is to face them right?

First birthday

Second birthday

Third birthday (Ironman cake from Mamanee's Made with Love)

While we celebrate my son’s talkativeness (yeah, non-stop because he likes talking what can I do but to let him), I am also happy and a bit sad for his independence. He can now take a bath, clean his bum and get dressed on his own. Though sometimes he wears his shirt sometimes inside out and underwear back facing front still; he wants to do things on his way now. He also knows his everyday routine and tells his sister to follow me whenever his sister gets rowdy.

When I asked him where he wants to celebrate his 4^thbirthday, he said he wants to go fishing! Actually he’s been bugging me to buy a fishing rod and he wants to catch a striped fish and cook it for months already. Where did he get those? No idea. So this momma is on the look for a floating restaurant near metro just to let him experience fishing. Mind you, I don’t even know how to fish because never in my life I have experienced it!

But good things come and our plans have changed in a single snap (will share you some details soon). The birthday celebration is far better than we expected. So now, while we celebrate my son’s birthday, let me take this time to celebrate it with you. I will share to three lucky readers some yummy treats from my recently opened sweet kitchen, Leigh's Treats. You just have to follow the rafflecopter below. We are truly blessed so I thought of sharing them with you as well as my way of thanksgiving.

The challenges and activities in the game arena are inspired by Pinoy games that moms today nostalgically grew up with. “We want to encourage kids to experience these Pinoy games just like their moms did. With these games, we want to demonstrate the strength, energy and resilience of these kids and bring out the “Batang May Laban” in them.

Hosted by one of the most sought after TV hosts in the country, Drew Arellano, this show will indeed make Sunday mornings bright and cheerful! To quote Drew, “Bonakid Pre-School Ready Set Laban is actually an achieved goal for me. I have been asking my manager for a program, specifically a game show, wherein I would be interacting with kids because I feel like this would bring out more of my fun and light personality. When I was graced with this project, I couldn’t keep my excitement hosting the show.”

Starting on October 5, join Drew for a second season of Bonakid Pre-School Ready Set Laban every Sunday morning (10:45AM) after iBilib, only on GMA Network.

The liver being a vital organ, which has a lot of functions, needs to be protected to prevent from getting liver disorders. In this fast paced vast society, where almost everything is served unhealthy, we should be wary of our health including how to handle our body with care.

The Search Is On for the Ten Outsatnding Young Mathematician

The Super Momma 10:41 AM press launch , 0 Comments

Numbers and I don’t go really well. We had a bad relationship when I stepped in 5^th grade. Everything changed perhaps because I was under a math teacher who doesn’t deliver lessons very well and was in a tough competition before and can no longer keep up. But I have an engineer mother who kept pushing me to learn how to do mental calculation because she claims I will need it in the long run. She was right, but what happened? I never learned it. Ever! Don’t get me wrong though, I know basics and medicine calculations but when it comes to complex equations, when it already involves all the relationships of the alphabet, I just sip my coffee for that.

I am not surprised if Philippines’ math literacy has a very low rank. I for one am included in those who have not-so-good relationship with numbers. We know very well that math is very important in our everyday lives.

Julie Lim, VP of Collins International, Inc.

“With TOYM (Ten Outstanding Young Mathematicians) Awards, Sharp Calculators aims to foster the academic excellence of the Filipino Youth in Math as we recognize their extraordinary math skills to motivate them further in becoming the future think tanks of this country. We also hope to raise the status of mathematics in society -- to stimulate the interest of the students, the academic and the general public to the significance of Math in the development of the society,” said Collins International Trading Corporation’s Assistant Vice President Mr. Lucero Ong.
