Mommy Moments: Summer Days are Here!

Summer is finally here and I hope we can go out of town soon - perhaps we'll try Tagaytay or Baguio (we can, if we can get that car and nanny soon)... Anyway, we have no specific plans yet so I figured that I should just post some tips on how us mommies can best take care of our babies during summer.
  1. Increase fluid intake - preferably water. Also, never give your baby water from roadside vendors. Keep in mind that there's been countless exposes on street vendors who transfer tap water into used mineral water bottles. To be safe, we should always carry food and water for our baby wherever we go with them.
  2. Choose cotton. We always love to dress up our babies but this summer, let's stick with cotton. Also, let's go with the sleeveless-short tandem and temporarily put away those pants and sleeved shirts.
  3. Avoid peak heat hours. Don't let your baby go outside from 10 am to 5 pm - unless you two are going straight to the mall or anywhere airconditioned.
  4. Cool blasts shouldn't hit your babies directly. It may overly hot inside your house but whenever your baby is sleeping or playing, never let the blast of cold air hit your baby directly.
  5. Babies shouldn't use cheap fancy shades. Resist the temptation to buy cheap sunglasses for your baby because that can harm their eyes and affect their sight. If you really want to buy a pair, do so from a trusted seller specializing in baby stuff.
  6. Do not apply excessive powder or moisturizers on your baby's skin. This can only cause irritation as dirt can build up on unrinsed massage oils and talcum powder can cake up when your baby perspires.

I Have My OWN INFO DOMAINS :)

About 16 hours ago, I was ranting about my wish to have my own domains for my blogs. I figured that I should wait for the main domain giveaways contests which I joined before I decide to buy one...  But alas, the stubborn Ellen couldn't wait and so, I bought web hosting services from Mommy Rubz through Mom's Hosting ... and I also bought a domain name - www.mommysinfodose.info from Godaddy through her. Guess how much I had to pay? Just $13 :) (a dollar for one year of INFO domain name registration for GODaddy, and then $12 for a year of hosting from Mom's Hosting - YES, a dollar every month :D ). The other good news is that instead of having a domain just for Mommy's Infodose, I will now have an INFO domain for BLOGGITYBOOP too :) YEHEY. I won from The Domain Angel 's Quick Domain Giveaway just by being the first commenter on the contest post :D Ain't I lucky? Don't you fret though, because the angel will give away domains every month - Yes, EVERY MONT...

Mommy Moments: Mother's Day 2010

At first, I wanted to skip this week's MM because the theme was Mother's Day and I really don't have much to share about that day.  I started that day (it was actually 'night' because we were all still awake during the wee hours of the morning) with a hug, a kiss, and a greeting from hubby... The End...  Actually, I was a bit sad that day since I wasn't able to visit my Mom and give her something. I just called her up to greet her and to tell her that I love her. That's it. I also didn't receive a card or a flower from hubby **sigh** and my babies are... well, babies, so they couldn't possibly come up with a card. However, I really appreciate all the bloggers, online friends, and "offline friends" :) who extended their greetings to me. I really felt remembered with all the FB photo tagging, wall posts, and mails. Before I started making this post, I read Mommy Chris' MM entry and she noted that we should write about why this year...

Project ALL-TIME: The iPop

The All-Time Dilemma Tardiness. Delays. Lost opportunities. I'm pretty sure everybody has experienced these things just by not being at the right place at the right time. Such wouldn't happen if we can teleport. If we could just pop out anywhere we want to, then we wouldn't miss out on important events just because of congested roads and punctuality issues of public transportation. We can go wherever we want without worrying about flight reservations, car maintenance, and sky-high transportation fares. Moreover, we will no longer be bothered by the fact that... A pedestrian is injured in a traffic accident every eight minutes, An estimated 1.3 million people die on our roads each year, About 1,600 aviation accidents causing about 600 deaths happen yearly, About 10, 200 people get injured inside elevators every year, and There are 6,000 escalator injuries annually, in the U.S. alone. At a more personal level, having the ability to teleport can help Dad get to his...
