Nanny 101

Hey y'all!

Having a nanny for your child is quite normal in this side of the planet. I grew up with the care of nannies and I had a few for my daughter as well. I wanted to share my/our experience and what I know about the basics of "Nanny 101".

I'm inviting you lovelies to check out my YouTube channel and please don't forget to SUBSCRIBE, COMMENT and RATE.

Why YouTube?

Hey y'all!

This is my first sort of introduction of my vlogging "career" on YouTube. This is basically the start of showing more of my face in front of the camera. Get to know my reasons (those that I haven't mentioned on my previous blog post) of vlogging in YouTube. :)

I'm a Mommy Vlogger (Video Blogger) On YouTube!

hey y'all!

 If you've seen my older blog posts here, you'll know that I do videos on YouTube, but usually those are just my lovely daughter's. I love capturing her milestones, antics and candidness on video. And now, I want to share my recent venture there. I'm a mommy vlogger already! Yep! As in I talk in front of the camera about a variety of things (mostly mommy stuff) and you'll get to know me, my family and friends more. I just love expressing myself and get my views out there. I love interaction, too! So yes, I do reply video comments and private messages.

I decided to go with it because I wanted to show the world how it is to be a mother in the Philippines (I do videos about "Day in a life", haul, Philippine-product reviews) and you also get a glimpse of Filipino culture, trend and places. I think it would be refreshing to see a different side of the coin because majority of the mommy vloggers that I've seen are from USA/American.

I do understand that there can be negativities alongside with it but I choose not to mind them at all. I just want to have fun and do what I love (which is talking and being candid LOL). If these negative people have a problem with it/me, well, it's not my problem anymore. hahahaha!

So, yeah, I'm inviting you lovelies to check out my YouTube channel and please don't forget to SUBSCRIBE, COMMENT and RATE.

OMG!!!

It's been ages since my last post! I have been MIA because of the many things that have been up on my sleeves. I started school on June and we have had series of activities with our Ilongga Mommies' Nook group. I also have been doing vlogs on my YouTube channel KimchiiMommy more frequently. I figured that it's more convenient for me to talk, film, edit a bit then upload than to sit down for a long time composing blog entries. I can tend to my baby while the video's uploading you know. hahahaha!

But I feel guilty for just abandoning this blog which I have established for quite sometime. I may not be able to post everyday but i'll be having entries from time to time. Whenever I can. No more promises.

I kind of miss this though. I have a lot of catching up to do.

Malunggay Smoothie for baby boo

Hello, lovelies! How was your weekend? It's Sunday on this side of the planet so tomorrow's another week! Anyhow, I made my baby boo a Malunggay/Banana smoothie yesterday. We grow Malunggay/ Moringa Oleifera in our backyard and that made me extra happy! You know why? Moringa is jam-packed with nutrients that you wouldn't even need to take vitamins if taken everyday! It's dubbed as "Miracle Tree".

Here's a bit of information to back-up my rave with it:

• It has 7x Vit. C in oranges, 4x calcium in milk, 4x Vit. A in Carrots, 2x protein in milk, 3x potassium in banana.
• It is a weapon against blindness.
• Along with potassium, zinc is also found in large quantities in moringa.
• Anti-anemia as it contains 3x more Iron than in spinach. 
• Helps in balancing cholesterol in the body.
• Contains Essential Amino acids.
• Since it is immunity-stimulant, it is being prescribed to AIDS patients.
• Stimulates metabolism.
• Fights diabetes.
• It is a nutrition booster and is known to promote a feeling of well-being.
• Aids in weight-loss.
• Increases milk supply of lactating mothers.
• Famous for anti-bacterial properties.
• Paste of moringa leaves is said to beautify the skin.
• Protects the liver and kidney.
• Can be used as a water purifier.

Speaking of Moringa, I remember a conversation with my OB GYN on my 7th month pre-natal check together with my husband. My hubby asked her what  food that I should be taking often to promote good health both for me and our baby. She said to let me eat or take anything that has malunggay. As a naive foreigner, my hubby had no clue what that was! Honestly speaking, I also didn't know malunggay's english name at that time. boom!!! hahahaha! My OB GYN drew a cluster of small circles and showed it to my hubby and he was still clueless. Solution to the problem? I showed to him a picture of Moringa when we got home. Our backyard was barren back then. 

So here's what Moringa looks like...

I hear some "aha!" over there! LOL. ^__~

Here's the vlog that I made...

Overall, I think I'm going to try loving this "Miracle Veggie" as well. As a mom, I know that I have to be healthy all the time because I have a family to take care of. I also encourage YOU to incorporate Moringa on your daily diet; prevention is way better than cure. 

Health is a precious wealth!!!

Love lots,
