Giving your child what they need is not the only factor that will help them grow. We may be able to give them the toys that they wanted but it does not end there we also need to ensure that their emotional needs and the environment that they move is suitable for them. And as a mom, one of the key roles that we have is to ensure that everything is balanced and we are giving them the proper attention that will help them feel they are truly loved.

Not only that this provided an easier way for consumers to purchase what they need without leaving Lancaster New City but also gives an opportunity for the community and families living within the said area to have fresh quality products at a price within their reach.

Love them or hate them, video games are a part of our lives. There’s a lot of conflicting information on the effects of video games on health. Studies link it to eye strain, obesity, and even seizures. While neurological and psychological testing suggests that certain types of games can increase neuroplasticity, promote hand eye coordination, and even treat trauma. However, too much of a good thing is almost always bad for you. Between your phone, your work computer, and electronics at home, there’s always a screen available, and that can take its toll. Kids and adolescents are uniquely susceptible to video game addiction, but if you’re finding yourself spending hours in front of a screen, there are a few things you should watch out for. 1. Eye Strain Eye strain is an ongoing problem with our addiction to screens. It has even been given a name in the medical profession: Computer Vision Syndrome , or CVS. CVS is caused by the burden placed on our eyes from being in front of a

Babies skin are really soft and delicate. That's why mother's like us should be careful with the product that we use for our  babies. Some babies become irritable and cranky because of some skin irritation. Maybe our babies look fine but their skin are not. Special Newborn Problems Increased tendency to injury  Increased in photosensitivity Increased  susceptibility to irritants Some parents are confused with products that are labeled " for babies" assuming that it is safe and non-toxic to use for babies. During the 5th day of #7Daysof Cetaphil I asked the doctor if its still safe to use a soap bar for babies and kids 0-5 years old since Chelsea also has sensitive skin. Dr. said that she thinks its still safe to use soap to babies if their skin is not sensitive but she advise that it's better to use the one that is safe and non-toxic baby gentle cleanser like Cetaphil Baby. Why not use soap? Skin has a normal pH of 5.5 - 6.5 and mo

Some parents are having a hard time feeding their children healthy food. Sometimes I ask myself how can I continue to encourage my kids to eat healthy. To be honest, they are not picky with fruits but when it comes to vegetables, the kiddos are really picky. With the continous increase in number of obese and underweight children in the world, I think parents needs to be vigilant with the food that we give to our kids. In promoting healthy eating habits, Beko- the Official Partner of the Everyday, launched its Eat Like A Pro advocacy on the Philippines. This campaign aims to help parents feed their chikchil healthier food. This effort is in support of the company's current global initiative of inspiring and educating families , especially the young ones the importance of a healthy and balanced lifestyle. Benefits of #EatLikeAPro Boost immune system The first step to have a strong immune system is nutrition, and a well-balanced diet. Fruits and vegetables offers diff

There are certain events in life that come unexpectedly that sometimes even if we have been so prepared, we are still caught off guard, and it is always an ease of worries if you have a someone that you can count on. With this being said, it's always good to remember those people and places that stood with us during those tough times in our life. As they say, it is in those rough times that you’ll know who stays by your side as you rebuild everything from scratch. I'll be sharing to you one of the hardest life challenges that we've encountered. Few years back, a huge fire engulfed our home and burnt down everything to ashes. I can still clearly remember how it was like waking up from this nightmare. That time we are almost going to bed. I, my 1 year old son, my 12 yrs old cousin, my grandma and my great grandma was the only people that time in our house when the fire started. My grandma only took her small bag and small size envelope then we left our hous

There is no such thing as "too young" if your kids have an interest in entrepreneurship, giving them an idea and nurturing their interest, gives them an edge in their future or can even make them possibly a millionaire in the making. There was a time when the word “business” was just synonymous to adults working the daily grind. Today, when you go online, there’s a long list of young, self-made millionaires who made it big as kid entrepreneurs. Although stories of successful child entrepreneurs are no longer uncommon, they still never fail to amaze most grownups because of the degree of creativity, determination, courage and business acumen these kidpreneurs have had at an early age. Commercenter Alabang, the premier lifestyle hub in Alabang, is extended a hand to budding young entrepreneurs through its  Biz Kids Expo last July 28 and 29, 2018. The weekend bazaar provided an avenue for aspiring child entrepreneurs to turn their million-dollar business ideas into
