When Your Second Time Seems Like the First Time...

This week, my body's new resident enters his/her 10th week and is doing good in making me feel sleepy all day and sleepy all night which leaves the house and the work late on due. I actually have a valid reason to just lay there and read a book.

This is not my first time but I could vouch now that every pregnancy sure is uniquely special. I think it's easier and harder for the second time. Easier because you kinda have a clue of what's to expect and harder because before it's the baby inside, the house and the work. Now it's the baby inside, the house, the work, and the toddler, who can't stop himself from running around. Ha! Twists like these makes me smile and cringe at the same time, I am loving this roller coaster ride of life called motherhood!

To make this expansion of our nuclear family extra extra special, I'll end up this post with a little giveaway.

I will be giving away one spiral Belle de Jour Power Planner 2015 which includes a Perks of a Bella booklet, a BDJ Lifestyle card and stickers inside. I've been a BDJ bella for a couple of years now and it did help me organize my chaotic lifestyle being a freelance work-at-home mom without any helper.

This giveaway will run for 10 days, is open to all Philippine residents and is of legal age. Minors should have permission from their guardian.

Puree Love: Feeding Your Baby the Healthiest Way

The transition between milk to solid food is a fun time for mommies everywhere. It’s the perfect time to experiment with fruits and vegetables as you slowly introduce new food groups to your child. When it comes to feeding babies, mommies have long relied on pureed fruits and vegetables to get the job done. Below are some age-appropriate mommy puree favorites for every stage.

 

Baby applesauce for 4 months and above [1]. With just the right amount of baby apples and a reliable food processor or blender, you can let your little one enjoy the many benefits of apples. Babies love its sweet taste while enjoying the abundance of vitamin C and fiber.

 

Avocado puree for 4 months and above. Avocado is a quick-serve fix that requires no cooking. Packed with Omega-3, avocado is best served with fresh banana puree.

 Plum puree for 6 months and above. Plum is a favorite because it’s a natural defense against constipation, a problem most babies encounter. The fiber-filled puree’s sweet and tart flavors will be something that your little one will surely enjoy.

 Blueberry puree for 6 months and above. Blueberry is nature’s greatest antioxidant and also happens have a very sweet taste that your baby will love. It can be enjoyed in different ways as you partner it with different fruits such as bananas, apples, and pears.

 Make sure your purees are safe by using the best ingredients including the water that mothers trust, Absolute Distilled Drinking Water. Certified and approved by the Bureau of Food and Drugs for meeting the country’s highest and strictest bottled drinking water standards, moms have long used Absolute both for drinking and in preparing things for the kitchen.
