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.

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

Do you make time to date your spouse? Admittedly Do you make time to date your spouse? 

Admittedly, @manila.gent and I have been working so hard and addressing the responsibilities of our daily lives that we really have not been able to plan something fun, outside of trying new restaurants.

Here is one that we enjoyed awhile back when we visited @unfrenchbistro by @chefmichelleadrillana.

-Apple Walnut Salad with Crunchy Bleu Cheese Balls
-Laing Lobster Thermidor
-Triple Treat of Sisig, Pork Belly and Bacon topped with Foie Gras
-Poached Salmon in a Dill Cream Sauce w/tasty shrimp balls and topped with salmon roe
I thought about these delicious Buko Tarts I made I thought about these delicious Buko Tarts I made with @prismpuff pastry a few days ago. It’s so funny to think how @kitchen143 has evolved and come to life with different foodies, kitchen loves, and experts in the field. I have been having so much fun experimenting, getting to know foodie friends, and new found kitchen sisters (and brothers) through the process.

I’m curious tho-is there anything you guys want to learn? See? Explore? I also want to go exploring with all of you!

Perhaps you know a really great restaurant that we haven’t featured yet? Or a home cook that loves to share the kitchen love?

Tag them please!
Share them with me!
How about a foodie meet up?
What do you guys think?

All your child needs, is for one person to believe All your child needs, is for one person to believe that SHE CAN.

Teacher MJ of @citydanseacademy believed that @gelliaventajado would be ready for a December recital.

And she was.

Heart Full.
Mission Accomplished.

She can.
She did.
She loved it.
She is so proud of herself.
I started taking my coffee black, years ago when I I started taking my coffee black, years ago when I ran outta milk and had no choice. I quickly realized that I would much rather trade my calories in milk and sugar for the calories in my dessert. 

My nana used to take her coffee black. And sometimes she would have tea in the afternoon and dip her saltines in it while watching her ā€œprograms.ā€ These programs were shows like The Young and The Restless, Falcon Crest, and Dallas. I would sit at her feet, or on the sofa next to her. And just being near her provided comfort.
#GratitudePost Thankful for my sisters. My sister #GratitudePost

Thankful for my sisters. My sisters have always supported me. The last seven years especially. Grateful for their generosity, their guidance, their prayers and their love for my children. 

Are you thankful for your sister? She doesn’t have to be one that your parents gave you. She can be your chosen sister too! Tag her and let her know.

Last month I spent a few days in Madrid with @best Last month I spent a few days in Madrid with @bestbuddies staff from all over the world. We had the chance to spend some meaningful time with our founder, @anthonykshriver, learn from the other countries who were present, and celebrate the relaunch of Best Buddies Spain with their Gala.

I came home inspired. Ready to jump into our employment program, and expand our friendship and leadership programs to create greater impact.

We are furthering inclusion in 47 countries all over the world. Curious about how you can bring our inclusive programs to your school or company? 

Send me a DM or a PM so we can start the discussion!

Are you feeling the holiday spirit already? Righ Are you feeling the holiday spirit already? 

Right now, I’m thinking of my Thanksgiving menu and all of the many things I am grateful for…

Especially weekend getaways with @manila.gent.
Tis the season to be merry! Just last week, @mani Tis the season to be merry!

Just last week, @manila.gent and I visited @westinmanilahotel for their very FIRST Tree Lighting to kick off the holiday season. šŸŽ„

We enjoyed holiday themed drinks, festive music, and the sustainably decorated tree while celebrating ā€œGreen & Bright,ā€ in the hotel lobby. 

As always the eats and treats are for the whole family to enjoy. Bring the kids, the grandparents, and even the fur babies to celebrate this Holiday Season because everyone is welcome! 

Here are the special offerings you can look for when you visit:

• Visit The Lobby Lounge for the 12 Christmas Cocktails or the Westin Holiday High Tea.

• Celebrate Thanksgiving Dinner with the buffet at Seasonal Tastes. Be prepared to be wowed with Turkey and the fixings.

• Check in and enjoy Christmas and New Years staycations complete with the Westin Pillars of wellbeing. The Holiday Getaway room package includes breakfast for two persons, an Afternoon High Tea, a festive giveaway, and a P1,000 food and beverage credit. (This is valid for stays until January 7, 2024.)

• Take advantage of Seasonal Tastes’ holiday menu for both Christmas and NYE that includes Seafood Paella, Beef Prime Rib Roast, Italian Style Roast Pork ā€œPorchettaā€, Slow Cooked Leg of Lamb, Slow Roasted Whole Turkey, Grilled Bratwurst and Veal sausages, and more.

Looking forward to celebrating with the family this holiday season. We all have so much to be grateful for. šŸ™šŸ»
Self Care Sunday! Quick trip to @alpinalounge mea Self Care Sunday!

Quick trip to @alpinalounge means we are ready for the week! Visiting the lounge for my gel manicure and monthly massage is not just a treat, it’s part of what I look forward to when spending time with @gi.aventajado. 

I love that my manicure lasts more than a month, and that the care I receive from the technicians is with my preferences taken into consideration.

Waiting patiently as my lashes grow out and heal from the years of wearing falsies, so I can enjoy the lash extensions that I have missed!
I ā¤ļø NY. I ā¤ļø NY.
