Avon's Magic Lipstick

I posted a review about my one and only lipstick at my previous blog Motherhood In Progress about my Ever Bilena red lipstick. Since one of my birthday resolutions is to collect at least 5 lipsticks, I bought a very cheap yet very sassy pink Magic Lipstick from Avon.

This was from the Internet because I was not able to take a photo of the lipstick.

This is what it looks like with lipstick on. It's not that dark since I just retouched this one.

I am so happy with the result of this pink lipstick. My daughter said I look pretty. Haha. I love the pink color on my lips. I look fresh and sassy! :P 

This lipstick is at 99.00 at Avon catalogs so may want to grab this opportunity to buy one, or maybe the 3 shades they have!

Mommy, Daddy and Daughter

Here are some recent photos we had. Most were photos of me and my daughter since we were the ones who were always together here at home.

Daddy gave her lollipop as pasalubong. She loves lollipop. 

This was before sleeping the other night, we were goofing around.

This was last Sunday before taking a bath, Daddy took us a photo.

Daddy wants a photo kissing Amber but she doesn't want. Haha.

Before bedtime. She was showing me her pink socks.

Free Huggies Diaper

Don't we moms love free samples? I really do!

Last week, I saw an ad from Huggies that they are giving away samples of their diaper. You see, this is one of the best brands in the market and my daughter also tried using this when she was younger and I like this one too!

As what email stated, I will be receiving my free diapers in 7 days and it arrived this morning! I so love free stuff! Thank you Huggies!!!

Instagram

I finally joined Instagram!

I had been contemplating whether to create an account here or not but then decided to create one today. When I downloaded this app on my phone, I got sad because I learned that I can only post photos using my mobile phone. Argh!

I also noticed that there is "not much" of creative designs here like you can make a collage of pics and insert text on it. I'm not sure of this because I haven't explored this yet.

Since I don't have WIFI at home yet, I may not be able to post photos all the time but you can follow me! I love followers! :) My instagram is bvleus.

Tips for Picky Eater Toddlers

I am one of the many moms who are trying to feed their kids healthy and nutritious foods. I am still contemplating whether my daughter is considered picky eater and sadly, yes she is a
picky eater. So I researched about this stage where eating can be frustrating sometimes and
thankfully, I now understand why toddlers are like this.

Here are some of the tips I learned:

1. Don't force them eat. 
They might be full and this is true in my case as my daughter still drink formula milk. During
morning, she usually drink 8-14 oz of milk and snacks in between so when lunch time comes, she sometimes hesitate to eat rice. They will eventually tell you that they are hungry and will ask for food.

2. Introduce them to food while they are young.
I am guilty with this because I myself am a picky eater up to this day. When my daughter was introduced to solid food, I don't give her carrots, potatoes or sayote. What I gave her was always Cerelac in different flavor and I really regret doing this.

3. This is a natural in toddlers.
I had been thinking a lot about this because my daughter would only eat pork, chicken, fish but not vegetables except potatoes and sayote and sometimes carrots. When I try to give her new vegetables to eat, she would just smell and play with it and this frustrates me a lot. So I what I do is I accept the fact that this is natural and my daughter will eventually eat other vegetables when she grows up.

There are a lot of other tips but these three are so applicable to me and my daughter. Right now, if my daughter doesn't want to eat, I don't force her anymore. I let her ask for food or milk because I don't want to get frustrated also. Sometimes I give her what food she asks me to prepare for her but I make sure that she still gets the nutritious food as much as possible.

Weird Sleep Position

I noticed that my daughter would sleep like this, I don't know why. My hubby said he used to sleep like this when he was a toddler too. I posted it in my Facebook page and three of my friends said this position means the child wants a sibling! They said that's what oldies would say in the past. Is that true? If that is then my daughter needs to wait a few more years to get that sibling she wants. Hahaha!

3 more days to be a certified WAHM!

I texted my Boss last Thursday and informed him I am resigning effective May 1st however he said he is not whether I'll be allowed to resign immediately and until how I haven't heard from him.

Anyway, whatever the outcome may be I am still determined and decided to pursue my career as a WAHM. I started my Transcription job last month and I am still in the process of adjusting with my schedule here at home including the chores, waking up in the morning to prepare breakfast for Jerwin, doing the laundry, taking care of Amber's needs, cooking and planning for food and everything. I have been checking on tips on how to manage my time as a WAHM and I came across some good tips which includes writing your plans and you time to do the chores. So beginning next week (I'm still on my lazy mode, as always) I will start to create a list on what needs to be done on a specific day and I am thinking whether to write it in a paper and post it in my cabinet or just post it in my computer. I am not sure what to do yet but then I will surely make the adjustment faster by next week.

Good luck to me! So excited to be an official WAHM !!
