July was the most challenging month for us as a family. Rainy season has begun and of course, along comes influenza virus everywhere.

Izhi caught the virus first since she' more exposed to the outside community. Add to the fact that she's busy with school and Karate training, she's more prone to germs and viruses.

I later realized that staying indoors doesn't necessarily mean that we are safe from all the germs and the illnesses that goes with it.

After a week, Yuri caught the fever, cough and flu which developed to a serious bronchitis. To make the situation worst, Yuri also caught Dengue Fever!

 I had posted about this on my FB page, https://www.facebook.com/lizziethebusybee/, where I asked for prayers for Yuri since we were admitted to the hospital already that time. As a mother, it breaks my heart to see my children went through this. It pains me to look at their troubled faces as they sleep restlessly through the night. We both struggled. On my part, since I have to constantly check on them from time to time. Check temperature. Have them drink medicines. Sponge bath. Repeat.

Did you know that many objects inside our house are actually germ infested? What's worse, some germs find humid weather a perfect environment to grow even faster. Say, for example, this laptop that I'm currently using; there are billions of germs stuck in it which aren't visible to the naked eye and is contaminating my hands. Now if I touch Yuri's food and not wash my hands, imagine all those icky germs getting into his system.

These are petri dishes with cultured germs inside. First dish shows a regular hand with germs. Second dish shows what a hand with bacteria looks like when we touch or prepare chicken. And lastly, what our hands look like after washing Safeguard's Pure White Hand Wash.


After all these ordeal, I became obsessed in maintaining my hands and home clean. I also teach my kids and Waldy how to properly wash hands and to make sure they use Safeguard's Pure White Liquid Hand Soap. 

Safeguard Pure White Liquid Hand Wash
Izhi has very sensitive skin that's why I'm loving Safeguard's Pure White Body Wash due to its gentleness on skin that she's using it now after her Karate Training. Waldy also has one on his Basketball bag so he can wash his body with it after a game or two.
Safeguard Pure White goodies!
Liquid Hand Soap 225 ML at P80.00 and Body Wash is available in 720ml at P219 and 400ml at P85.00

Lily's Peanut Butter in Lite Version

I grew up eating Lily's Peanut Butter so I'm happy that there's a lite version now for older people like me.  People are becoming more and more aware of the health value of the things they eat and drink. And by the looks of things, this emphasis on health is becoming more than just a simple fad; health consciousness is here to stay. Lily’s Peanut Butter, already 60 years in the industry, saw this rise in health consciousness, and has adapted accordingly through the peanut butter that has become a staple of many a Filipino household. After more than half a century of winning Filipino palates, Newborn Food Products Inc., the maker of Lily’s Peanut Butter, launched its newest product line, Lily’s Peanut Spread Lite, last August 14 at the Lily’s Lite in the City event, held at the Trinoma Activity Center, Quezon City. The whole-day event, hosted by athlete-turned-celebrity-host Gretchen Ho, actor-model CJ Reyes, and singer-model John Pol Dimaculanga...

Learning Made Extraordinary!

Every school break, we find it hard to look for an interesting summer program where Izhi would be interested in. I tried ballet for her when she was 6, but dancing isn't her first love. We suggested that she try basketball, swimming, theater and so on to no luck.  However, several schools who gave them computer knowledge test, visited us at home and offered a discount for us to enroll Izhi to their basic programming workshop. Apparently, Izhi has achieved high marks on their exams and is offering us a discount upon enrolling. We discussed the matter and decided to decline since we think that she will just forget the lessons since she won't be doing it often. We are looking for something that will bring out the creativity in her. We were invited to a one day free workshop at SparkleLab where we can try their programs. I must say I was impressed! The place was laid-back kinda homey where strange and wonderful things happen. There were Lego's, sewing kits, code, motor...

A Tribute to all Supermoms

I never realized how hard being it is to be a mom, until I became one. The thing is, our mom passed away when I was 8 years old. I was the youngest of six brood and never get to spend that much time to get to know mama. Then Tita, our stepmom, came along when I was 11. She helped our father raise us. She taught me to love unconditionally, by loving us as her own. I was blessed to have two wonderful mother. The one who carried with in her belly for 9 months and brought me out into this world, and breastfed me for almost 5 years. And the one who took care of me and raised me to be the woman and a mother I am today. As a mother, it was an honor to be invited to the launch of SM Supermalls' National Supermom's day.  SM Supermalls Senior Vice President for Marketing, Jonjon San Agustin spearheaded the event with a wonderful remark: " Mother's Day is the best time of the year to thank our mom's for all their dedication and hard ...
