Sanicare Play Day

Just last month, I was invited to bring Gelli and Diego to the Sanicare Day of Play in Green Sun Hotel.

It’s not often that I get to bring along both kids with me when learning about different brands available to conscientious Mommas like myself.

Gelli hasn’t accompanied me to an event like this in quite some time, so she was a bit of a firecracker. (Complete with taking Bianca’s microphone and all.) She was so overwhelmed she didn’t know what to start with first!

Keeping this girl off the stage was definitely a challenge! She just wanted to cozy up with Stephanie and Bianca all day!

Of course, I welcome her outgoing behavior, and her ability to take charge of a situation without being shy. That’s what every momma wants, right? We want to raise confident kiddos who are able to speak their minds, but remain respectful. 

Giving Gelli the opportunity to learn with her hands is a fantastic way to stimulate her senses.

Our Play Day made it really easy for me to entertain my two youngest kids (who are 6 years apart) in a fun and educational way, and gifted me, the ability to learn even more about a brand that I already know and love.

Here are some new things I learned about this brand that I have been using for years:

  • Sanicare came out of the love of a husband for his wife.
  • Sanicare uses virgin pulp for a more natural approach in hygiene.
  • Sanicare is a proudly Filipino-family owned and operated company .
  • They have a new line that was launched earlier this year that is lavender scented.
  • There is a difference between their baby wipes and their big kid wipes.
  • Their cucumber line smells delicious.

Truth: I LOVE Sanicare’s toilet seat covers for when we are out or traveling. It’s a must have when I’m moving around with Gelli!

You know why I really enjoyed this day with my little (or not so little) ones?

There was something for everyone.

Baby Corner in full effect!

There was a corner that was set up for infants complete with floor mats, plushies and handprint keepsakes that could be framed to take home.

Perfect keepsake for little hands!

Toddlers were able to explore, run, jump and climb in a space that matched their curiosity and energy level.

Gelli loved this corner! Of course, she took off her shoes so that she could get a better “feel” of things…

And even if the toddlers had the ability to color and design their own Sanicare eco bags, I know two big boys who didn’t mind participating in that activity too.

That’s the beautiful part about what I get to do with my kiddos when we attend events like this together.

I enjoy time spent with other Mommas and my kids get to enjoy their kiddos too.

We attend these types of events together and we all learn something new in the process!

But the best thing about attending these events together, is that I also get to watch my kiddos.

I mean observe where they are at. It’s one thing to interact with your kids when they are at home and you have their full attention.

It’s also another thing to see them move around in a time and space that is a little unfamiliar.

Here are some things I observed about Gelli and Diego during my time with them:

  • Diego is well adjusted and makes the most of things even if he feels unsure of himself.
  • He can pick up where he left off with Sancho (Sabrina’s son) even though they haven’t seen each other in months.
  • Diego is also a “natural” big brother. I saw him helping some of the smaller kids without being prompted. (He also does this with Gelli, but he likes to annoy her as much as he likes to kiss and hug and help her.)
  • Gelli wants to be heard.
  • Gelli is NOT shy despite what she may tell people. ( “I’m shy.” hahahaha.)
  • Gelli gravitates more towards the rough and tumble way of playing than sitting and coloring.
  • Gelli become JELLY when I try to direct her attention to something else that she does not want to do.
  • Gelli CONSTANTLY puts her hands in her mouth. (so we need to have Sanicare wipes with us at all times)

As mommas, we all need things to be easier.

Easier when we are cooking.
Easier when we are working and have to attend to the kiddos.
Easier when we are traveling and there are potential messes everywhere we turn.
Easier when caring for a newborn who we just brought home.
Easier to keep germs at bay for kiddos who are constantly putting things in their mouths.
Easier. Mommas just need things to be easier.

Sanicare makes it really easy for me to take care of my family in a safe and hygienic way.

And how easy was it for me to put together everyone’s sanitary kits for the beginning of school with all of our goodies from the event?

Thank you Sanicare for having us! We had a blast!

She comes home completely exhausted and falls asleep before her 2pm socialization class on zoom. Can’t wait for her to adjust and for everyone to settle in the groove of the new school year. 

Especially since she has yummies from @yaya.lola and a new backpack and lunchbox from @herschelsupply!

Mommas need time alone too. So much of what I do Mommas need time alone too.

So much of what I do is for everyone else around me. For the kids. For Nino. For my extended family and friends.

But I need time for myself too. 
This is vital for self awareness, self reflection, and self improvement.

This means quiet time with verse, which admittedly I have not had much time for. It also means making time to find my way back to the mat to practice yoga. It also means time to listen to to music which soothes my soul and often provides ways for me to tune into how I’m feeling. If The Lord makes ways, it also means short trips where I can reconnect with family and girlfriends or opportunities for retreats too.

Funny thing is, it took me to reach middle age to understand how important this for my human-ness. 

The most recent trip and time spent with my cousin @tricciaramos was eye opening. She has a retreat coming up in Sedona next month. I’m hoping to attend, but still figuring out how I can make it. I know it will be incredibly restorative and healing.

It’s early evening in NY. So that means it’s s It’s early evening in NY. So that means it’s still our anniversary on the east coast.

At this time, 24 years ago, we were walking into our reception. Our first dance was, It had to be You. Our second dance was For You, by Kenny Lattimore.

We have come a long way since then. It’s hasn’t been easy, but we have had wonderful guides by our side to help keep it together. Thankful for all the lessons in love, and the beautiful children God has given us. 

Happy Double Dozen @manila.gent.

But who are we kidding? Snacks for the movies absolutely does not have to be healthy. 👆🏻

Easy to order snacks for the beach, a movie board and more with the click of a button. 

Thanks @benbymart for helping make the Movie Munchies episode so much fun!

What do you send with your daughter when she is su What do you send with your daughter when she is supposed to be in school from 8am to 5pm?

If you are like me, you send a lot. 

😂😳😅

In this photo is our oldest @yumboxph and our newest Yumbox. Our first #Yumbox was purchased almost 7 years ago. @kayecatral hand carried the Panino home for @gelliaventajado and we still use it today. 

The #Yumboxph Presto is the newest in the lunchbox line up and it’s perfect for my girl who is Uber concerned with #sustainableliving and #sustainable #choices. 

What’s in her Yumbox?

For brekkie in the car:
Truffled Egg salad on sourdough loaf from @lartizan. Banana with peanut butter. Tangerine. And @hersheys kisses.

For lunch: leftovers from @mangotreemanila which include grilled pork belly, pandan chicken, prawn pomelo salad, and red curry.

Lunchbox notes I kept from @expomom @mommymundo because it’s extra. And a @starbucks cheese latte.

Wanna know more about these lunchboxes that each member of #TeamGellibean uses when the go to school and work?
