Over at Manilamommy, I'm doing a series of posts on party planning as Dan and I are planning David's party for his first birthday.
I did a sneak peek with his invite here and my newest post is on unique themes that go beyond the usual and in demand Barney, Cars, Transformers, etc. We're planning a Safari party for David which will be in a few weeks already!
rocketships, robots, pirates and monkeys!!
I can't believe it's been a year already! Ang bilis!
Also, because the season of giving is just around the corner, I'll be giving away some cool stuff on Manilamommy so stay tuned!
Do you have a Baby Einstein video? Gusto mo ng refund? Disney, Baby Einstein's is issuing refunds for Baby Einstein videos as part of a settlement I presume, in light of a class action lawsuit filed by a group of lawyers for unfair and deceptive practices. Basically they're taking Baby Einstein to task for positioning their products as "educational".
Over at ManilaMommy.com, I did a hospital bag checklist for the soon-to-be moms out there. The list is by no means exhaustive and is just based on what I brought and what I think I should have brought :) Hindsight is 20/20 sabi nga ng mga tanders ;)
Thank you Tita Osang for my bib. My dad has since cut my hair after this pic was taken. I no longer look like a balding oldie. Oh and I am now 9 months old and I'm trying to walk around the house now but with help from the tanders here. When I finally learn to walk by myself, the first place I'd go to is the supermarket to buy more of this delicious MARIE cookies!!! OMNOMNOMNOM!!!

I know that moms out there have a mental checklist of sorts for their diaper bags. I have my own but 9 times out of 10 I still forget something. One time, I forgot to bring diapers for DW. Hello, DIAPERS!!! *BIG FACEPALM* We were at a children's party in Cavite and David was bawling his eyes out because he was naked in a hot washroom and Yaya Tems was scrambling to borrow a diaper from someone. She was able to score one though but the nappy was XXL. David at that time was still a Small. So yeah, David had to wear his diaper around his chest for the rest of the party. Aaack! The meltdown was unbelievable.
Over atManilaMommy, I made a picture checklist of the stuff I usually bring for David. Here's one, the Stinky Baby Kit:
The rest of the checklist is at ManilaMommy:) Hope to see you and your tips on what else we should always have in a diaper bag over at the other blog!
