Parenting

Infantino

If you are a parent, you have come across many brands that you go to for the different jobs you perform as someone’s caregiver. From changing nappies, to feeding, playing, and even baby wearing, Infantino has been a brand that has continuously evolved with the demands of modern smart parenting.

Infantino Philippines just celebrated their first anniversary of being made available here, and as The Boss would have it, I was blessed to meet the couple behind the brand through social media and Best Buddies Philippines.

So grateful that Nino accompanies me, to events like this when his schedule permits.

I say “The Boss,” because I do recognize all the blessings He has bestowed upon our very grass roots foundation, and I do believe that while the planets align for all that we need to make magic happen for our Buddies, He is the only one we can give credit to for bringing it all together so perfectly.

I met Kris Lee and his wife, Joan during their media event launching even more of the product line that we know and love of Infantino all the while, making lives easier for parents as we raise our kiddos up.

Can I confess that I didn’t even realize how important baby wearing was until Diego was born? I had a carrier of sorts, but always felt like I wasn’t wearing it properly, and that Diego was too big to fit with his chubby legs.

One of the things that I loved about being a more mindful parent once @gelliaventajado joined our family, was learning the importance of baby wearing. Manila Mommas: LOOK!! @infantinobaby_ph is the leading baby carrier in the U.S. and they are here now in @babycompanyph!!! • • • • #parenthood #infantinobaby_ph #fatherhood #parenthood #motherhood #babywearing #manila #momma #dad #mindfulparenting

Flash forward to Gellibean being born and I KNEW I needed to learn even more about baby wearing since I felt like she needed to be attached to me. (#SEPANX much?) Of course, I was worried about her needs and whether or not I could leave her with anyone else to care for her, but because we breastfed exclusively for 2 years, and because I felt like she was a bit more fragile than my 3 big kids were, I chose to wear her more than her older siblings. 

Here are some benefits to baby wearing that you might not have known:

  • It strengthens the bond between parent and child
  • Aides in development both physically and emotionally
  • It’s easier to breastfeed on the go.
  • Being closer to the baby boosts milk production
  • YOU CAN GO HANDS FREE!!

Infantino is the most popular Baby Carrier in the U.S. and parents all over the Philippines have been enjoying the many benefits to having this brand by their side in their parenting journey.

I took notice of Infantino (again) the year after Gelli was born because of their EVERYBODY PLAYS campaign. One of the bloggers I follow from back home, shared the waves that Infantino was making when they partnered with another fierce momma who saw the need for mainstream media to INCLUDE children and adults of all abilities in their advertisements.

We are more alike than different. –NDSS

Infantino teamed up with Changing the Face of Beauty to bring awareness to children of all abilities and CELEBRATE THEIR DIFFERENCS while fostering acceptance and inclusion with Everybody Plays.

Can you say LOVE?

Love these mommas who also believe in the benefits of Baby Wearing with Infantino! L-R: Nish, Moi, Riki, Abbie, Ina, and Icel.Photo Credit: https://www.facebook.com/infantinophilippines/

Ok. So even if I can’t wear my Gellibean anymore because she’s a much bigger ball of cuteness at 7 years old, and my back just cannot take her weight, I love Infantino and all they stand for in parenting, inclusion, and Changing the Face of Beauty.

Love this kid and all that she has inspired in me to do….

And you know what else? 

I can’t wait for Best Buddies Philippines to team up with Infantino Philippines to bring some more love and light and goodness to our mission.

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 “programs.” 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. 🎄

We enjoyed holiday themed drinks, festive music, and the sustainably decorated tree while celebrating “Green & Bright,” 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 “Porchetta”, 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. 🙏🏻
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 ❤️ NY. I ❤️ NY.
Mother Daughter Dates like this @alpinalounge. I Mother Daughter Dates like this @alpinalounge.

I didn’t know that when I turned 50 one of my besties would be half my age. What a blessing to have a daughter who likes spending time with me. 

Alpina has been our go to for nails, massage, and eyelash extensions for the two of us. Even @manila.gent and I go for massages once a month too!

Thanks for joining me here!!

Sharing selectively. But always honestly. Just trying to figure out how to do my best, while raising our kids, running a foundation, and sharing about my foodie and parenting adventures. 

Parenting is hard. 
Marriage is harder. 
Self awareness at 50 is golden. 

And I’m thankful that Jesus has my back.

If He leads me to it.
He will see me through it.
