4 KIDS

Bibi Shoes for Gellibean

Awhile back, I attended the launch of a new brand for children’s shoes. 

Part of what I share here on the blog, is always supplemented by the events that I get to attend.
 
Through the event invitations, I get to learn about new momma and baby brands that are not only cute, inspiring, and fashionable, but brands that are good for our kids as well.
 
I have written about kids fashion quite a bit, well because my lil Gellibean is a little fashionista. She loves posing for her #ootd photos and seeing the pics that I snap. She is in the process of learning how to exert her will when she chooses what shoes to wear or what clothes to match up. (I, however, am in the process of letting go, so she can use this as a form of self expression.)
 
At this recent launch, I was approached by a nice lady from the broad sheets who asked me a couple of questions that got me thinking.
 
She asked me if I am still the one who shops for all my children. 
 
 
Hmmm. This caused me to pause and realize that my big kids who have now moved on from me buying their clothes!
 
Oh, how I wish I could still choose their outfits and dress the boys in matchy matchy shirts and sneakers! Because they are older, my big kids have now figured out their own styles and forms of expression.
 
I didn’t even realize we had reached this milestone in our lives!
 
 
And now that Gelli is asking to choose her own clothes and shoes, it seems I may not have anyone to dress too much longer.
 
This lovely lady also asked me why I buy the products I buy for my kids?
 
In other words, what are the qualities that keep me coming back to brands I know and love? 
 
This was easy for me to answer and without even thinking I rattled off a few different qualities that children’s clothing and shoe brands must have for me to keep buying their products. 
 
-comfort
-durability
-fashionable
-easy to clean/maintain
-easy to find
-good for the environment
 
That’s a simple enough list when it comes to purchasing anything for the kids, right?
 
During the launch, Bibi not only provided everyone with the opportunity to take home a pair of shoes for their kids, they also provided some fun experiences of nail painting, (with all natural Snails nail polish for kids) face painting, make your own pizza and crafts that the kids could take home as well.
 
But it was through the launch that I learned more about Bibi Shoes, and realized what all the fuss was about.
 
I realized that there are some brands that really do take the time to provide the best that they can for their customers.

Bibi Brazilian Shoes

  • Their shoes mimic the freedom and comfort of children walking barefoot.

  •  They are stylish and fashionable.

    too bad they don’t make them for adults 🙁 I like it that they’re certified by the Brazilian Society of Pediatrics and Orthopedics

I have always been intimidated by Cornish Hens. Th I have always been intimidated by Cornish Hens. Through this learning exercise with @usapeecphl, I have learned a bit more about these little birds that have bigger breast parts, and thank you Chef @ivoryyat for showing me how easy it is to prepare Greek Lemon Roasted Cornish Hens with Roasted Potatoes.
 
Clean and fresh flavors are perfect for these smaller birds that are rich in protein with zero carbs. Try the recipe in the comments section. I’m sure you’d enjoy it as much as I did!
 
Interested in U.S. Cornish Hens? You can buy them in stores near you. #CornishHen #USCornishHen #PoultryPerfection #CookingWithUSPoultry #USPoultry #USAPEECPHL #ad
@gi.aventajado and I played with some of the @pura @gi.aventajado and I played with some of the @puratosph products that they sent over the other day. Ready to use Bavarian Cream made these Cream Puffs easier than ever. I think we have to figure out how to temper our couverture better…

@mommymundo always has a way of bringing together @mommymundo always has a way of bringing together just what we need, no matter the time of year. Loving these photos of my first boy that were snapped @expomom.

Anyone else thinking about #HolidayPhotos? I am not one of those moms that has it all together before Christmas. It’s usually a mad dash for us at the end of the year, but if it’s anything that the past few years has taught me, it’s that the little things are what makes the Christmas special.

Many of us haven’t been together with the extended family or even our immediate family in so long. That means it’s the perfect time to document.

@nextbymetrophoto will be hosting one last Christmas Marathon family photo shoot before the end of year. Check them out or shoot them a message. They have some cute set-ups.
****GIVEAWAY ALERT*** 10 things I LOVE about @sed ****GIVEAWAY ALERT***

10 things I LOVE about @sedahotels listed here and on FB!

1. Each property has a Signature Dish. If you can’t make it to Bacolod, you can still enjoy Chicken Inasal in any of their properties.

2. Clean Design. So easy to work and play in a space that is light, modern, and clean in design. 

3. Beautiful views. Every chance I got, I would sit outside at @straightupatseda. 

4. Spacious Rooms and Residence Stays. Staying in the Three Bedroom Premier was perfect for our family. 

5. Attentive Service. Everyone was pleasant and accommodating.

6. Centrally Located. If you are thinking of fun things to do in Makati and want a home base, Seda Residences Makati is near a few of the museums, parks, and malls.

7. Work with ease. Internet service is uninterrupted. Meeting rooms are available and easy to book.

8. Relax and Play. From mid-day tubbies with Gelli to, taking advantage of the pool, or the children’s room, the little girl had more than enough things to keep her busy!

9. #FamilyTime. Spending an extended amount of time outside our own space led to laughter, fun conversations, and opportunities to try new things. We were comfortable and rested in the space we were in, which meant more opportunities for us to connect.

10. Homegrown with a Purpose. A Filipino brand that understands the importance of both work and travel, each property is important to the city & province location. Environmentally aware by adopting Mayumi, a Philippine Bald Eagle. 🦅

Is there anything better than a stuffed turkey at Is there anything better than a stuffed turkey at this time of year? Whole turkeys require serious commitment to cook. #IYKYK But because U.S. Poultry is now available here in the Philippines, that also means preparing turkey is a tad bit easier.
 
Frozen U.S. turkey products are available and ready to cook for people who want to dabble with flavors for this bigger bird but aren't sure how.
 
Thank you to Chef @ivoryyat for putting together a medley of my favorite fall flavors. This combination of apples, sweet potatoes, and maple syrup perfectly compliment  the roasted turkey leg and remind me of flavors and scenes from back in New York. 
 
@usapeecphl l has the highest standards that follow USDA requirements which are certified safe before shipping to the Philippines. Get them in stores near you.
