2-in-1 potty trainer

Cliche as it may seem but time really flies so fast! Last Sunday, while we were unpacking the things we brought from our trip to Lusiana, Laguna, Ate Meriam announced that Ayex will be turning 1 year and 8 months this coming Sunday – September 7. Then I said, she’d be turning 20 months old (I’m more used to counting by months) already, just 4 more months to go and she’d be 2 years old!

That’s actually the second reason why I pushed Mon to buy this potty trainer when we spotted it for the second time. In no time, she’d no longer use diapers and will even tell anyone of us when it’s time to the thing. I know I’m a bit ambitious because it’s still early to potty train her but who knows, she might like it after all?

And the main reason why I pushed Mon to but it right then and there is because it might go out of stock again and we’ll never be able to buy it for Ayex! Hahahaha!

I first saw this design in SM Southmall. I was doing the grocery that time with my mom. We’re already considering of buying one for Ayex that time but somehow, there’s a part of me that is not yet convinced. So I let the nice potty trainer go. After some time, we don’t have anything else to buy for Ayex when we go to the mall. I remembered the potty trainer. Every time we go to the mall, I’d go to the baby section and look for it but anywhere we go, they kept saying it’s out of stock. That’s why when we finally saw it in Landmark, Trinoma, I told Mon that we must buy it already and stock it at home!

I loved it’s 2-in-1 purpose: a kiddie chair and a potty trainer. When it’s not being used as a potty trainer, Ayex can definitely use it whenever she wants to specially now that she started sitting like a nursery with a pen and paper! She haven’t used it yet but I’m sure it won’t be like her crib that she never really used!

Meet my fab bag organizer

Are you the type of girl who cannot leave the house with just your purse or perhaps a teeny-weeny handbag? I am.

For me, the bigger the bag, the more things it can accommodate, the better! If I can put my long wallet, umbrella, kikay pouch (although it contains things like papers, ballpen, receipts, etc), roller brush, cellphone pouch, eye glass case, perfume and other stuff inside a bag – that bag is the one for me!

However, I think having a big bag has a negative side effect. Having a lot of space causes me to just put my things inside. There would be times when I’d spend more than 5 minutes looking for mg ID. At time, I would have to remove every content of my bag just to get what I’m looking for. That’s when I knew I needed a bag organizer.

At first Therese and I looked for this in the Internet. What we saw were rather pricey or not the design we wanted. Then we asked Janelle, who owns one where we can get it at a price we’ll not regret. She pointed us to Landmark in Trinoma. On that same night, I went to Trinoma and bought 2 pieces – one for me and one for Therese. This bag organizer is such a great help! Now I no longer look for my ID for 5 minutes. I’m maximizing my bag space.

If you need the same thing? Let me know and I’ll happily buy one for you if there’s no Landmark near your place – of course you’d have to pay it! Hahaha!

Summer sheets on rainy days

Remember when we stayed in LP for a week when Ate Meriam was still in Dipolog for the wake of her grandmother? Mon and I were able to snug this pretty set of sheets for our bed and pillows in Alabang’s night market, one the reasons why I love going home to LP! Hahahaha!

Isn’t it beautiful? The vibrant colors make me a little more energetic. I feel warm and sunny even if the rain is pouring heavily outside. What I love most is that, these were not the expensive type you buy in the malls but I’m telling you, it’s material is really soft and comfortable! The only problem I have with it now is that, since it has bright colors, you can easily see when it gets stained! Hahahahaha! The picture was taken when I just changed the sheets. Now, there are already Ayex’s footprints here and there! Hahahaha! Even MIL is asking me to buy them a set for their bed when we go back to LP. 😉
