5 Brands that I Use for Khali

Khali is now in nursery and since he now goes to school, there are certain things that I need to buy for him and use so that he will be comfortable in school. As a Mom, we all know the perils and stress when kids are at school and we want to make sure that we can keep them safe. 

So, how do I do this? 


1. Efficascent Oil 

This is what I put on my son's tummy, back, and head when he finishes taking a bath. I use this to make sure that he won't easily catch a cold. It's important because kids tend to run around and it's an added layer of protection. 

2. OFF Sakura-no-Hana Lotion 

I use this to protect him from mosquito bites. We all know that schools fumigate but there will always be wayward mosquitoes and since I am worried about dengue and itchy marks, I make sure to put this on him before he goes to school. It also doesn't smell like the usual OFF Lotion. 

3. Johnson's Baby Active Kids Shower


 We use this on Khali since he runs around a lot. He's very active and gets sweaty so we need to make sure that he won't smell. This shower gel is already good for his head and body so it's a 2in1. Since he started using this, he no longer smells like sweat or the sun even when he's been out running. 

4. Johnson's Baby Powder 

This is a staple in our home since he was a baby. I grew up with it, my first born used this, and Khali will definitely continue to use this. This is what we use after every bathtime, when he gets sweaty and needs to change clothes, and at night to make him feel more comfortable and have a good sleep. 

5. Cough Patch 

I discovered this in one of those videos and decided to give it a chance. Since then, I have made sure that I always have stocks in hand and the moment I hear him coughing, I put some on his chest and back to make sure that it doesn't get worse. So far, it has been effective in the last year since we started using this. 

This is not sponsored to be clear. I just wanted to share with you what I use for my kids because it might work for your kids too. Let me know if you have tried any of the items I listed.

Are you a WAHM?

Being a work-at-home mom (WAHM) is a great way to balance the responsibilities of raising children with earning a living. However, it's not without its challenges. As a WAHM myself, I understand the struggles that come with juggling work and family responsibilities. In this article, I'll share some of the most common struggles that WAHMs face and provide potential solutions to help make life a little easier.

Struggle #1: Balancing work and family responsibilities

One of the biggest challenges of being a WAHM is finding a balance between work and family responsibilities. It can be challenging to switch gears from being a parent to a professional and vice versa.

Set a schedule

To balance work and family responsibilities, it's important to create a schedule that works for both. Set aside specific times for work and family time, and stick to them as much as possible. This can help you stay focused and productive during work hours and present for your family during family time.

Prioritize tasks

Another way to balance work and family responsibilities is to prioritize tasks. Identify the most important tasks that need to be done each day and focus on those first. This can help you stay on track and avoid feeling overwhelmed by a long to-do list.

Delegate tasks

Finally, don't be afraid to delegate tasks. If your children are old enough, give them age-appropriate chores to help out around the house. You can also outsource tasks such as cleaning or meal prep to free up more time for work and family time.

Struggle #2: Avoiding distractions

Working from home can be full of distractions. Whether it's social media, household chores, or family members, there are plenty of things that can take your attention away from work. For me, the main struggle is spending time with Khali and working. 

He's currently at the phase where it's all Mommy, Mommy, Mommy.

Create a dedicated workspace

Creating a dedicated workspace can help minimize distractions. Set up a space in your home that is solely for work, and use it consistently. This can help you mentally separate work and home life, making it easier to stay focused.

Use time-blocking techniques

Time-blocking is a technique where you schedule blocks of time for specific tasks. This can help you stay focused and avoid distractions. During each time block, focus solely on the task at hand and avoid checking email or social media.

Use technology to your advantage

There are many apps and tools available that can help you stay focused and avoid distractions. For example, there are apps that can block access to social media during work hours or limit your time spent on certain websites.

Struggle #3: Staying motivated

Working from home can be isolating, and it can be challenging to stay motivated and productive without the support of coworkers or a boss.

Even for someone like me who has been doing it for over 10 years, it can be hard at times. Worst case scenario, I look at my bills to remind me that I need to work. 

Set goals

Setting clear, measurable goals can help you stay motivated and on track. Break larger goals down into smaller, achievable milestones and celebrate your successes along the way.

Connect with other WAHMs

Connecting with other WAHMs can be a great way to stay motivated and get support. Consider joining online groups or attending local meetups to connect with other like-minded individuals.

Take breaks

Finally, don't forget to take breaks. Taking breaks can help you stay refreshed and avoid burnout. Use your breaks to get some exercise, spend time with your family, or do something else that you enjoy.

Being a WAHM comes with its challenges, but there are solutions to help overcome them. By setting a schedule, prioritizing tasks, creating a dedicated workspace, using time-blocking techniques, setting goals, connecting with other WAHMs, and taking breaks, you can find the balance you need to succeed as a work-at-home mom. 

We can do this WAHMs!

A Letter to my Sons

Dear B and K, 

You two are the blessings I never asked for but have been so blessed to have. I never thought that I could love anyone as much as I love the two of you and I never knew that I could feel this kind of fear as much as you two invoke in me for even the smallest things. 

I worry about you two a lot. 

I worry about how the world will treat you. I worry about you becoming victims to bad people, bad circumstances, and bad environments. 

I worry about the age gap between the two of you, that by the time K is a teenager, B, you'd be in your 30s. Will you jive? Will you understand each other? Will you be there for each other if we're no longer in the picture? 

I worry if your Dad and I are doing the right thing with you two. I worry if we're being the parents we need to be,  the ones that you deserve, need, and you should have. 

Sometimes, I feel so down because I know that I am not what you need me to be. I'm short-tempered and I can go beast mode instead of being able to do some gentle parenting. I worry if I am traumatizing you for life and wounding you emotionally and mentally. 

Then I see you both happy and oh so forgiving. I see you B, happily dancing and singing. I see that you have grown to be so mature and understanding of life decisions, consequences, and punishments when needed. 

I see K ready to forgive and give a hug. I see him laughing so much that one can't help but laugh with him. I see him and I marvel at how blessed I am to not have one, but two kids given to me by God. 

I worry. I think any Mom would worry and worry but at the same time, I marvel. I marvel at how someone like me, someone who's not as kind as she needs to be, someone imperfect, and someone who needs to work on her temper can produce two beautiful boys. 

And so I will continue to worry but I will also continue to work on what I can and what I need to. Most of all, I will continue working on having a good relationship with your Dad and with others so that you will grow in a loving environment and hopefully be guided to know what is wrong and right.

Little Explorers by Rex Education is Perfect for Toddlers

As a mom of a three-year-old, I am constantly looking for ways to support my child's development and help him grow into a confident and booming individual. Recently, I discovered a new program called Little Explorers, offered by Rex Education.


Little Explorers is an early childhood education program designed to empower parents and caregivers to provide their children with the best possible education and support. The program focuses on the crucial first five years of a child's life when over 90% of their brain development occurs.

One of the critical components of the Little Explorers program is a focus on reading. Reading is essential for children's cognitive and language development, and it is also an excellent way for parents and children to bond. Little Explorers offers a wide selection of books, with over 100 titles. These books are designed to be engaging, interactive, and suitable for children of all ages.

In addition to reading, Little Explorers also focuses on the six developmental domains identified by the National Early Learning Framework (NELF) as being critical for early childhood development. These domains are language development, character and values development, cognitive and social development, creative-aesthetic development, physical health, well-being, motor development, and social-emotional development.


The Little Explorers program offers various activities and resources to support children in these developmental domains. For example, there are activities to help children develop their language skills, such as storytelling and reading aloud. Some activities focus on character and values development, such as discussions about kindness and empathy. And some activities promote cognitive and social development, such as puzzles and games.


As a mom, I was impressed with the Little Explorers program. It is a comprehensive and engaging approach to early childhood education that offers practical solutions for parents and caregivers. I have seen firsthand the positive impact the program has had on my child's development, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to support their child's growth and learning.

As the saying goes, "it takes a village to raise a child." Little Explorers is a valuable resource for parents and caregivers who want to be an active part of their child's education and support their development in the early years. With its focus on reading, exploration, and the six developmental domains, Little Explorers is an excellent way to give children the best possible start in life.

Brands that are Khali Approved Part 2

Over a year ago, I made the first Brands that are Khali Approved Post.  Since then, there has been so many changes, discoveries, failures, and wins when it comes to products that Khali uses. 

A lot of people have asked what we used on our baby so I decided to make a new post of brands that are Khali approved.

1. Cetaphil Baby 

Khali has found a new love. Swinging. All-day, he does nothing but swing, run, and swing. This means that he ends up sweating a lot which can sometimes trigger his hives. We sometimes have to bathe him at least 5x in a day. Thankfully, Cetaphil Baby products can be used for frequent washing without drying out the skin. In fact, it keeps skin moist and hydrated.

I use Cetaphil Baby Moisturising Bath & Wash to wash him and make sure all dirt is removed. Afterward, I follow it up with Cetaphil Baby Advanced Protection Cream. I make sure that I cover all his exposed skin because these are most prone to hives and really dry patches.

Combined, these 2 products work hand in hand in providing more moisturization and soothing ingredients to address the dry, irritated skin of babies so Khali can safely play all day.

I really love the fact that it's so gentle on Khali's skin because of its 5-fold protection. It checks all the boxes – gentle, soothing, hypoallergenic, helps seal in moisture, and protects baby’s skin barrier.

Cetaphil Baby Moisturising Bath & Wash contains aloe vera and almond oil to moisturize and soothe dry, irritated skin. Cetaphil Baby Advance Protection Cream, on the other hand, contains organic calendula and shea butter to reduce discomfort from dry, chaffed skin.

2. Tempra 

Every single time my son gets sick, I make sure that I have my medicine kit with me, and inside I have Paracetamol Tempra.

Buti na lang ngayon meron na ring Tempra Cool Touch. It has 10 hours cooling effect that helps manage fever. Super important ito kasi reliable partner ito for us mommies sa pagmamanage ng fever ni baby.

3. Bio-Fit Plus

Since Khali was 6 months old, we have only used one vitamin for him and that is Bio-Fit Plus Vitamins and Minerals. Now that he's almost 2 years old, I still use it because it's really good for him. 

He eats a lot, rarely gets sick, sleeps a lot, and is strong as a bull. Bio-Fit Plus has Folic Acid, Vitamin C, and Zinc. This is also approved by his pediatrician which makes me trust it more. 

So if you want your baby to be as healthy, tall, and strong as my baby, start using BioFit Plus.

4. Organic Baby Wipes

My son has really sensitive skin. He would erupt in hives or have really bad spots if I use wipes that have chemicals on them so even with the wipes that I use on his skin, I am careful.

Good thing there's Organic Baby Wipes which is the 1st organic baby wipes in the Philippines. Organic baby wipes are infused with organic aloe vera, known for its anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties, to prevent nappy rash. 

What’s more, because they are organic, these baby wipes contain NO HARSH CHEMICALS and are hypoallergenic. NO PARABEN, NO ALCOHOL, NO CHLORINE, and NO HARSH CHEMICALS. It is also 100% biodegradable. The material of the wipes is plant-based so it's good even for Mother Earth.

These are the brands that we use on a daily basis with Khali. I hope that it helps another Mom out there who may be on the lookout for brands recommended by Mom and kids. 

Remember though to always consult with your pediatrician.

Find out how AWS helped Edamama become the leading Mother and Child Platform in the Philippines

Since the pandemic started, the direction for businesses to strengthen their e-commerce platform has gotten to an all-time high. Those who refused saw a decrease in their sales as opposed to their competitors who have learned to pivot and adapt. 


This is the case with Edamama. Already a leading Mother and Child platform, Edamama has been able to maintain its hold on being number one by using Amazon Web Services (AWS). Officially launched last May 2020, Edamama has been able to support almost 20,000 orders made on their website with the help of AWS.

Edamama is a Philippine-based e-commerce platform designed for mothers. They have curated products and content aimed to help mothers make the best decisions for their children. They offer a wide range of products of essentials and activities for moms, babies, kids, and the household. They also have a strong community of Mommy influencers, ready to guide and give guidance on what purchases are needed for every stage of a baby's life.

Edamama was established amidst the pandemic by the husband-wife duo of Nishant and Bela Gupta D’Souza, who saw the pain points of mothers as consumers when purchasing online. I, myself, experienced this when I couldn't buy clothes for my newborn last year because department stores were closed for months. 



The partnership with AWS will help Edamama address the issue of quality, as well as the other challenges common among today’s e-commerce platforms — such as channel fragmentation, non-established brand trust, the lack of a discovery-led buying experience, and poor customer service.

What's great about Edamama is that they have a website that is designed for mothers to “get easy online access to quality products and services while ensuring the lowest prices through a system that simplifies purchasing experience.”  This matters because Moms don't really have a lot of time to spare navigating through a user interface that's complicated.

This is great news because the Philippines is among the fastest-growing e-commerce markets in Southeast Asia. Filipinos were forced to be more creative when it comes to getting their desired goods into their front doors which has led to online shopping and food delivery becoming one of the most thought of solutions for many. 

AWS has allowed Edamama to scale the technological infrastructure easily. With the team scaling from 3- 20 team members in a span of 8 months--the infrastructure was able to catch up easily. Edamama was able to use AWS CDK to streamline development operations. During this time, their user base also increased from 100 concurrent users to 500 concurrent users, with the help of AWS, they were able to scale easily by using the scalable serverless architecture that is offered on the platform. 

With a partnership like this between Edamama and AWS, we can only expect bigger and better things from the country's leading Mother and Child platform. As a mom myself, I can't help but feel excited and I look forward to being able to buy quality items for my baby and know that what I am purchasing online will be just as good, if not better, than something that I would personally buy from a boutique face to face.

Celebrate National Eczema Awareness Month with Aveeno and Shopee

Did you know that October is actually National Eczema Month and that there are so many babies and toddlers who are affected by eczema?  This can be irritating, itchy, and downright painful for a lot of babies and toddlers so finding something that will soothe their skin is a must!

It's a good thing that Aveeno has a new Aveeno Baby Dermexa Moisturizing Cream 141g that relieves and protects extra dry, eczema-prone skin. This addresses dryness, itchiness, redness, flaking, and stinging.

They also have the upgraded formulation for Aveeno Baby Cleansing Therapy Wash 236ml which gently cleanses and soothes the baby's extra dry, eczema-prone skin. 

Baby's skin is more susceptible to irritations simply because it's 30% thinner than adult skin. When they encounter potentially harmful chemicals, when there's skin damage, loss of skin moisture, and external aggressors such as UV rays and micropollutants, it can wreak havoc on a baby's skin. 

It's a good thing that Aveeno is infused with oats because it is prebiotic, moisturizing, anti-inflammatory, antipruritic, had balancing PH, cleanses gently, and has a lot of antioxidants. 

If your baby suffers from eczema, try the Aveeno Baby Dermexa Moisturizing Cream 141g and the Aveeno Baby Cleansing Therapy Wash 236ml. This might be the solution that your baby needs.  Immediately relieve flare-ups from 1st use with Aveeno, powered by the goodness of oats. 

This October, take advantage of the 30% off on these products and add to cart now!
