Good Food

We all know Good Food when we see it. When we taste it. When we are full from it. But, Good Food in modern times can mean many things. It can mean it’s good for the body. It can mean it’s good for the environment. It can mean it’s good simply “for the greater good… ”

Diba?

So many ways that we can make a difference in the choices that we make. And many times, the differences we choose to make come out of some momma wanting to make her life easier. Or more streamlined. Or because she wants to save time. Make the world a better place. Or make her town a better place. Or because one momma also does her part in raising her kiddos to be conscientious. To care for the environment. And streamline all her responsibilities as a momma.

I first met Kris De Guzman about 7 years ago when I started blogging. At the time, she too was blogging, but has since evolved (as mommas often do) into doing something the same, yet a little different. She still cares greatly about the environment and is very mindful in parenting her two daughters, and as of late, she has been working on the e-commerce website www.goodfood.ph

ADVOCATE LIKE A MOTHER

Because she really is a modern momma that makes online purchases, she saw the need for a subscription based website, that would literally do the thinking for her. In this case, she shared that while meeting the challenges of motherhood was a balancing act, she would sometimes forget to buy the milk she went to the grocery store for, in the first place. (#RELATE)

Veronica “Karen” Cruz, also knows the value of #BaonMadeEasy and #Baon MadeSustainable, as she is a momma as well.

So she teamed up with Nestle, and added another facet to their agreement by including a greener option in her doorstep delivery.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

All you have to do is log on to www.goodfood.ph and click on SUBSCRIPTIONS.

Then after you choose the READY TO DRINK OPTION, select the delivery PLAN that works best for your family.

It’s easy to choose the subscription plans you like. But if you don’t see one that suits the needs of your family, Good Food can customize one that works for you! Photo Credit: Good Food

But here’s the extra added benefit:

Diane Ibay-Raza from Tetra Pak Philippines shows the different ways that the Tetra Paks are broken down into the different recyclable materials.

With the new GIVE PACK feature, when your second delivery of subscription milk is delivered the next month, the delivery person will ALSO take away your previously delivered, emptied, washed, and clean tetra packs for recycling into super useful items that many of the kids (and the adults) got to see and use first hand during the media event which took place today.

You don’t have to choose one or the other. Your subscription can include all of the options that Nestlé has to offer families in the “Ready To Drink” variants. Photo Credit: Good Food

FUNCTIONAL AND CUTE

How cute are these notebooks and fun pads?

Plus, I learned that they can even make roofing material and fiber board from the recycled items as well!

I mentioned to Kris that back in NY, we would do drives like this in our public school. We would collect recycled items (or sometimes even box tops) and the schools would end up receiving grants that they could use towards art supplies, playground equipment, and even instruments for music class. We would even have certain boxes in the cafeterias where we would eat lunch to make collection even easier for the students. 

Wouldn’t it be great if Nestlé and Tetra Pak Philippines launched an even greater effort to recycle by putting up these types of drop off points in condos? Or grocery stores? 

GIVE PACK

For now, if you would like your Nestlé tetra paks to be collected, so you can make a difference in the way we care for the planet, subscribing to the RTD Nestle plans from Good Food, is definitely a more sustainable (and painless) way to do it!

Excited to be part of this international gathering Excited to be part of this international gathering of women! @strongertogetherevent is less than a two days away! Mommas from all over the globe will gather for some #RealTalk. We will open up to share struggles and triumphs with other mommas through candid conversations where participants can get real answers to their questions about this crazy ride that we call motherhood. There is strength in numbers ladies!!! Sometimes all we need is to hear someone else’s story to know we are on the right path. Sometimes we just need to hear someone else’s story to know that we are not alone in our frustration, our fears, and the smallest of victories.

No school yesterday, means pajamas all day at Nina No school yesterday, means pajamas all day at Ninang’s place. I haven’t had the mind to work at all. I lost one of my sorority sisters earlier this week, and someone very dear to our family yesterday morning. I have been doing my best to focus on this little one, keeping her busy, and having mindful conversation with her. Reminding myself to stay present and grateful through this overwhelming sense of sadness and loss. I find myself having these little conversations through out the day with Jesus. Thanking Him for His sacrifice, and for the most meaningful Easter, I have had in a long time. I try not to question the loss and the pain that I know so many of our friends and family are suffering. But I’m human, and well, no one looks forward to loss 😔

I keep coming back to the idea that there is purpose to the pain God allows for us. And the promise of something beautiful when we have lived a life where we do all we can, for His Glory. In this conversation I had with a Friend late last night, I shared this newfound understanding that recent events provided for me. It is through all of this loss that I have learned how grief and gratitude can both lighten and anchor my heart at the same time. That I can be grateful to have experienced the gifts of friendship and sisterhood yet grieving the loss of a human being who was luminous, generous, and Godly in everything she did.

And this little girl reminds me. Reminds me of His Grace. Of how precious each moment is. And how when she sees us full of sorrow, that we may need to dance. And we did that. We danced. We danced for @faithoverfearheal, prayed for everyone who has suffered loss in this very difficult season, and thanked Him for His Grace and His Love.

Even through the tremendous loss, I am reminded that God has a plan. And that there is a circle of life. Gelli and I celebrate Savi’s first birthday with his giveaway craft from @antspocketph that @sinfullysabrina sent out last month. We crafted, celebrated, and were able to remain thankful even through the most difficult of times. 🙏🏻🌹💙💛

I have never been so talented with paint or the arts, but I can appreciate all the work that goes into honing these skills. Especially, when it reminds me of the reason why I started blogging almost 9 years ago. Thank you @gingdsantos for this #Bespoke #Watercolor #Painting. I am humbled by your gift and the thoughtful note you scribed. This is such a beautiful representation of me and my beautiful @gelliaventajado.

Pinwheel sausage from @santisdelicatessen @usblueberriesphl @realcaliforniamilkphl cheese @bountyfreshph eggs salted pretzels from @lartizan @hummingbirdspreads and @ilovewhisk jam was perfect with our ciabatta too.

@strongertogetherevent is a gathering of women from all around the globe sharing the triumphs and trials of their very special motherhood. We will come together because we know there is strength in numbers, in sharing, and how our stories are intertwined and intersectional. The raw gritty parts of motherhood, burnout, and the mountains we face can only be faced with our faith and women by are side who really “get” where we sit, stand, and fight for our children. Women who know that we sometimes struggle to own our own identities, and self care, too. Want to join the LIVE conversation?

This sweet tower of dough would always come out after Christmas and Easter dinner with the Sambuca or the Grappa, when I was growing up. My mother’s table would have ham and Turkey, stuffing and pasta, eggplant and sweet potatoes. We would celebrate Easter Sunday together with my Titas and Titos, my Nana and my Lola, and all my cousins. My Dad would take his place at the head of the dining room table which was extended into the living room by saw horses and a make shift table top that he built for family gatherings when we had overflow.

Our gatherings are smaller now. But they are filled with so much more meaning. I was able to rest. Spend time in the kitchen with my best girls, break bread with my sister, face time my parents, and #BingeJesus by watching @thechosentvseries all afternoon with @manila.gent.

Loss. Suffering. Pain. Sickness. And as the realities of the pandemic are giving us so many more reasons to be thankful, I am clinging to His promise. His Love. And the understanding that He has plans for us. So we will do our part, stay safe, and take this time to reflect while giving thanks, and being mindful.

Holy Week has never been so full of reflection as it is for me now. Praying for my friends, my family, our frontliners, and all of those affected by COVID19.

Perhaps the wisdom that comes with age and life experience in your faith, involves knowing and understanding that the extreme emotions of pain and loss, grieving and gratitude, joy and happiness CAN exist in the human heart all at the same time. Not taking any of His gifts for granted. 🙌🏻
