The Kitchen Mom by dhess

As a mom, one of the things that I have encountered with my daughter as she grows is being picky with what she ate. It was not easy and since I need to consider her health and nutrition I can not just give in to giving her what my daughter only wanted.I knew then that I needed to make a smart choice of giving her something that she will like and enjoy. Recently I was invited to an intimate event by Goya with my co-mommies and together with celebrity moms Camille Pratts and Kelly Misa and well-known hairstylist and makeup guru, Lourd Ramos.  I knew that this is the end for my quest in looking for smart choices in life, in the event they all shared their experiences in life and the smart choices that they have made to excel as a person, mom and a business owner. Together with fellow mommies who enjoyed and always choose the smart choice and decision not only in life but also with family.

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. Happiness has and will always be a fundamental desire of moms for their families. Being aware of this is important, especially in today’s environment where negativity and bad news abound. “Ang kaligayahan ng pamilya ko ay mahalaga sa akin dahil ito ang sukatan ng halaga ko bilang ina.” This is a resounding insight that Nestlè continues to learn from many moms.
