Franny Mommy Finds : SM Baby Company's #CrazyBabySale

-
Truth to be told, I have never been one who loves to shop. In fact, my sister would often tease me that I "shop like a man" because I would just go in a store, get the items that I need and be out of there in less than 30 minutes. I guess, it's also because I have the tendency to decide fast so I pretty much know what I need and that's the only thing that I'd make sure to get.

However, since I became a Mom, I would catch myself buying random things from clothes to accessories to bibs to utensils and more. I know I also have to stick to what we need but whenever I'd spot an opportunity to buy the things that my twins love, I am always ready and willing to do so. Be it their favorite rice cracker snack or another bottle or nipple for them to use, my weakness has been matchy matchy clothes for my twins which, believe me, is so hard to find!

The same goes for sales and discounts. Paul and I are always on a look out for sale promotions as it's really not a joke buying double the number of diapers or wet wipes as compared to other parent. So, when we found out that Baby Company was having a sale over the weekend. We braved the Friday traffic and made our way to the SMX Convention Center at MOA. Luckily, we got there around lunch time so the crowd wasn't too bad. In fact, we got in without having to queue up. The first thing that I did was to pull out my Mom Card. This will allow me to earn points and if I reach Php. 3000, I get a cute emoji power bank too!

Here are some of the booths that we made sure to visit during the sale. These are definitely not new to this blog as we have been using these mostly since the twins were born and we loved them!

The first stop was Tiny Buds for our dishwashing liquid. I love the Twiga Thank You Wall which reminds me so much of L who loves loves loves Twiga!

Beside it is Nosh! where we availed of their Buy 2 Get 1 Free promotion. The twins love Nosh Rice Crackers and even my niece A adores it too. We really always have to hoard as the kids in the house are crazy about this.

Across this booth is a row of diapers all on sale! We're talking Moony, Mamy Poko and Huggies. All very good brands giving you the best deal possible. We all know how often our babies have to change their diapers most especially for newborns. Getting it on sale is the best way to get good quality diapers at reasonable prices.

We also visited the Como Tomo booth to buy more bottles as L really loves Como Tomo a lot! Unfortunately, they weren't selling the nipples during the sale weekend.

Beside Como Tomo is Marcus and Marcus where we finally found silicon mats for the twins. They love putting their food on the table much to my OC-like disapproval but kids will always be kids and as the saying goes.. "if you can't beat them, join them!" Haha!

Paul also makes it a point to check out the Enfant booth where we buy lots and lots of wet wipes. I've tried a lot of wipes in the market and what I like about Enfant is the thickness of the wipes is just right and the size is big enough to cover baby's entire bum area. Look at his happy smile as he was told that we can purchase one whole box of wipes for a lower price. Definitely the look for victory.

We also got more of our Surface Cleaner refills from Nature 2 Nurture as we use this to wipe the twins' playmat, high chair and more.

There were also Baby Company booths selling clothes, travel gears, bottles and more diapers. We love the manageable size of this year's sale where it covered one entire hall of the SMX but it wasn't too big making it chaotic or tiring to navigate through.

However, as with any sale, the challenge lies in queueing up for the cashier. The queue was long. In fact it snaked all the way till the end of the first column. However, the system was soooo organized that we didn't had to wait so long to check out. We were so impressed at how well it was planned. This just got to be one of the least tiring and most organized sale events that we've been to.

Lastly, as we made our way out, we dropped by the Freebie Redemption Booth and availed of our free emoji powerbank as we managed to meet the minimum spent. Yay! Guess which one we got.

Following Twiga's teachings, saying THANK YOU to Baby Company for staging such a good #CrazyBabySale.

Franny Mommy Finds : Happy Noz Sticker Patch

As a parent, I have one thing that I dread the most and that's when any of my kids fall sick. From the moment we detect the faintest sniffle followed by sneezes and runny nose, we know one thing is for sure -- we will be having a couple of sleepless nights. For twins, it is very common that when one falls sick, expect the other one to follow suit in just a matter of days, sometimes within hours even.  A few years ago, my twins would catch a cold and we really would struggle because they'd become very fussy and cranky at night. They're sleepy and tired from the cold but with a clogged nose, they can't really have a restful night and this means, either one of us will have to sit up and carry them all throughout the night. It came to a point wherein both kids were sick and Paul and I eventually caught the bug too. It was just so hard to care for the kids while you're not in the best condition as well. This got me researching on remedies on how we can have a good night ...

Bag of Beans (Charito) in Tagaytay

I can't believe that we have been frequenting Tagaytay for more than a decade now and not once have I written about Bag of Beans ! I tried searching all over this blog and I found..nothing. To think that not a single trip to Tagaytay, back then, would ever be complete without stopping by Bag of Beans for lunch or merienda. I must have been to engrossed with their coffee and bread that I wasn't able to take photos of the place and their food thus no blog entry. They, after all, have one of the best brewed coffee in Tagaytay and the yummiest bread to go with it too. Bag of Beans has been an institution in Tagaytay. Just like us, other tourists and visitors would make sure to drop by in order to grab a bite or to take home some of their homemade goodies every time they find themselves in Tagaytay. Bag of Beans started with one branch along the Tagaytay-Nasugbu Main Road across Residence Inn Zoo and it wasn't even overlooking the Taal. While they may lack in having a scenic ...

IKEA Singapore Pyjamas Party

For those who have watched the movie 500 Days of Summer starring Zooey Deschanel and my ex-boyfriend Joseph Gordon-Levitt, you probably also loved this scene: Paul and I are regular shoppers of IKEA . It's highly possible that someday, we will be able to furnish our future home with IKEA furniture pieces and items as it has been our go-to place since our 1st day here in Singapore. We would joke that if only we can live in IKEA, we probably would go for it. Well, who would have thought that the opportunity would come for us to "spend the night" in IKEA? A week ago, Paul and I were chosen to be one of the lucky few to join the exclusive IKEA Pyjamas Party . It was a 4-hour event starting at 11PM and we were told to come in..what else?!...our PJs. We were too shy though so we just went in our comfy t-shirt and shorts. Well, some were really brave and came in their full PJs complete with fluffy bedroom slippers! This event was to launch the 2015 IKEA catalogue also...
