July 4, 2018 by Little Miss Honey 1 Comment

Fynn's Baptism

I have been attending lots of baby shower lately. I love attending baby showers and seeing the excited faces of parents as they wait for their new member of the family. I enjoy the baby shower games and sharing some of my experiences as a mom of three. I love choosing gifts for baby showers. I am happy to say the parents love the gifts they would received for their baby.

Sometimes, the most special and well-appreciated gifts for baby shower are the ones unique and customized by you. The personalized baby gifts are an amazing way of celebrating the coming of a new baby to the family. For unique ideas on baby shower gifts, choose from these wide selections of items:

  • Customized Baby Clothes

Whether you choose to customize the design of the clothes or you choose to handcraft them personally, sending gifts of personalized clothes is a way to show your special love and care for the baby. You can have the clothes printed with the baby’s name, too. The flower shop has a wide range of options for customization and personalization.

  • Customized Baby Blankets

Customize the baby blankets by printing the baby’s name and birth date on them. The soft and snuggly blankets are perfect as gifts, especially when they are personalized and customized. You can find a lot of designs online and the best florist is there to assist you in picking the most unique design.

  • Customized Picture Frames

Customized and personalized baby picture frames are one of the top choices when it comes to customized gifts for baby shower. The frames are customized with the baby’s name, birth date, and other important details. This is also a great idea for sonogram photos of the baby. You can send a florist delivery of beautiful hand bouquets paired with this unique gift.

  • Customized Keepsakes

Keepsakes can be a precious gift to the baby and to the parents. You can customize memorable and priceless keepsakes specifically meant for the baby. A personalized piggy bank or embroidered plush stuff toy or a memory box or memory book can be customized and personalized for the baby.

  • Customized Baby Accessories

Baby accessories are available in a wide variety of items such as feeding bottles, spoon, fork, plates, bowl, hats, diaper caddy, laundry hampers, and more. Customize each of them by having the name of the baby printed on them.

Customizing the gifts is not really an easy task, especially if you want your gifts to come out unique and extraordinary. But with the help of the florist in Singapore, creating one for the baby and for the mom is a lot better. Customize your gifts and make the baby shower party an unforgettable occasion or event for your dear friend as they welcome the new baby.

Hope you like my suggested gift items above. If you have any other suggested gift ideas for baby shower, do comment below. I would be happy to get more inputs for the next baby shower I will attend to.

10 RECOMMENDED ITEMS FOR NEW MOMS THAT ARE WORTH BUYING

June 13, 2018 by Little Miss Honey 1 Comment

Peep N' Drink Nursing Cover

I was one of those new moms who feels overwhelmed with all the stuff I need to buy once baby arrives. There are so much products in the market that you get confused what to buy for baby as well as you as a new mom. I am guilty for accumulating items in the house that I though I would need or baby would need but it end up neglected and never been used.

So now, being a mom of three, I can share with you 10 Recommended Items for New Moms That Are Worth Buying. I have been using these items with my 3 kids and I highly recommend them. And I have to mention that these products are not sponsored. I just happen to love them and save new moms the trouble of buying too much useless items.

  1. ADEN + ANAIS SWADDLE 

Aden + Anais Swaddle

When I was still pregnancy withy first-born, my good friend living in the US  and Naj’s godmother sent me a package filled of wonderful baby stuff which I have to say I been using the products up to my 3rd son. One of the items there is the Aden + Anais Swaddle. They are amazing! My first two sons doesn’t like to swaddle but I got to use these cloths in many ways. Though, I would usually used these cloth for them to be wrapped in going home from the hospital.

I used it to placed as a cover for my babies to lie down. The texture is so soft and comfortable. I can also use it as their bath towel to dry them up. I used it as burping cloths too. When we are out, I used it too as a nursing cover. It is breathable so it reduces the risk of overheating. They also come in cute patterns. Now, Zeke loves being swaddled. So I get to used it more often and I even got more patterns.

2. Baby K’Tan Carrier

I love this carrier a lot! It is truly magical. I been using it with my 3 boys and they all love it. I prefer carriers than strollers so I gotten so much used out of this. I could never bear to throw this away. Being an advocate of attachment parenting and babywearing, I couldn’t emphasise how great this carrier is. I would attribute my sons clinginess closeness to me because of this one. Inside the Baby K’Tan, they sleep easily while we are on-the-go. They feel like they are still inside my womb, warm, safe and cozy. It looks great in clothes that it almost look like part of your wardrobe ensemble. It can also strategically cover my flabby arms and hide a bit of my postpartum belly. It is also perfect for breastfeeding. It can act as breastfeeding cover as well.

3. MEDELA FREESTYLE BREASTPUMP

Medela

I am an advocate of breastfeeding. I love the benefits of breastfeeding to my little ones. Once I was back at work, I need to pump milk for them. I had several breastpumps. I currently have two breastpumps but if I get to choose one, it would be the Medela Freestyle Breastpump. I like that it is very handy. I used it anywhere on-the-go, even in bus stops, grocery, buses, trains, etc. I can pump while eating my lunch, watching videos on my phone and reading a book. It is not loud and not heavy. It can effectively empty my breast from milk. I do used the Spectra M1 Breastpump which is not expensive and very strong to effectively empty the breasts. However, if I get to choose only one, it would still be the Medela Freestyle. I think it is a good investment.

4. Peep & Drink Nursing Cover

While we are still in the subject of breastfeeding, I found the perfect nursing cover. I have used several nursing covers before and I find that this is the best one. I like that it has a wire in the neck area so you can see your baby and your baby won’t feel suffocated. It has an adjustable neckline too. I find the tie-back feature to be a bit troublesome so I cut both ends so I can tie back on my own instead of the loop feature. It comes in different fun patterns.

6. PUMPEASE HANDSFREE PUMPING BRA

PumpEase Handsfree Pumping Bra

Since I am a working breastfeeding momma, I need a handsfree pumping bra to use during my lunch time pumping session. I need to pump milk while eating my lunch at the same time. I previously got a pumping bra that is a dual zipper in front but I found it too troublesome that I stopped using it. I am glad I found the PumpEase Handsfree Pumping Bra which makes pumping milk so easy and somehow, coincidentally, I can produce more milk using this pumping bra.

7. TULA CARRIER

Boracay

Once baby gets to be too heavy for me to use the Baby K’Tan, we would often use a stroller or a more sturdy carrier. We have tried the Baby Bjorn before. We still have it. But I found the Tula Carrier to be one for us. I used Baby Bjorn only up to when Naj was 6 months old. The adjusting and putting on can be a hassle. However with the Tula Carrier, I have used it with Fynn way past 12 months of age. It was so easy to put on without needing anyones’ help. It is not painful for my back or shoulders. If you love to travel as a family, this is the best to bring along. My hubby and I managed to handle two young kids in our winter travel to Korea with me carrying Fynn in this Tula carrier instead of using a stroller.

8. BAMBOO BELLY BANDIT

After pregnancy, you are often put on a binder for your belly especially for caesarean mommies. They would often apply a cloth binder using bobby pins to help provide support and shrink back your belly size. But I have learned about the Bamboo Belly Bandit and I have been using it even with my first born. I love that it is comfortable. It is not itchy and provide great support for me. These are its claims and I can attest to it:

  • Helps shrink your belly, waist and hips
  • Helps you lose centimeters faster
  • Provides support while breast feeding
  • Recommended by Doctors
  • Accelerates healing
  • Supports back, legs and core muscles
  • Helps expedite fluids through your system
  • Provides comfort for C-section moms
  • Our exclusive Power Compress Core is your secret weapon
  • Latex free
9. SAFETY 1st BATH SLING

This is the bomb! My kids love bathing in this. It is so safe and it made me enjoy bathing my kids especially when I was a first-time mom. They can just sit there safely while I bathe my baby. I usually put the baby sling inside a baby tub. When they get a little older and bigger around 4-5 months, the sturdy baby sling would do. It is designed for quick drying to prevent mold and very durable. I been using the same one with my 3 kids. It has cushioned legs and side and very light weight that I can bring along during travel. It is also easy to store when not in use however it is not bendable.
10. COTTON ON BANDANA BIBS

Babies are drool-machines. We need bibs for them. I love Cotton On Baby cute take on bibs. I adore their stylish bandana bibs. They are not cumbersome and too large. They are very soft too. I like that it can function as a bibs but also makes my kids looks so fashionable and cool as well.
I hope my top 10 recommendations has been useful. Let me know if there are other items you would recommend for new mommies or parents as they embark in the exciting world of parenthood.

THINGS THAT INSPIRED ME THIS WEEK

February 1, 2015 by Little Miss Honey 4 Comments

This week was filled with a lot of happenings. It started with a good news from the mailbox. I am happy to receive a cheque from an article I made. It may not be much but it validates what I do and what I love to do. However, it was also quite sad because this week, my mother-in-law have to go back to the Philippines. Naj has really gotten use to having her with him. They have this sweet grandma-grandson bond.

This week, our little one turned 7months! Wow, how time flies! It is his first time to celebrate  his monthly celebration with his Aunt Ping.

Our little one also is excited to walk on his own. He got strong legs, this one. At this early age, you can tell Naj craves for independence. When I try to feed him, he want to hold the spoon and feed himself. My hubby found a walker in good condition for only $15. (Call us cheapskates, hehe. I say, we are practical.) Now, he is happily walking around our condominium apartment. I just have to baby-proof our unit now. I mean ASAP.

Naj

I found in my doctor’s box this week, an envelope  from an old colleague. It was a thank you note for the time she worked in our clinic, along with two tickets for the MINT Toy Museum. Isn’t that sweet?

Mint tickets

I have been addicted with the 73 questions with Vogue. I enjoy watching the videos with different celebrities. I know I shared before the one with Blake Lively. My favourite is the one with Sarah Jessica Parker. She is charming and nice during the interview. Her home has this chaotic New York charm and very unpretentious. But you can really see that she has gotten older. I like that she manage to keep her marriage intact inspite of the infidelity rumours.

Here are a round-up of links I found online that inspired me this week that you might enjoy too:

Wow, it is February already. Happy February 1st, everyone! Next week is fully packed with lots of activities, I am so excited! Plus in awhile, my parents are coming home from Saudi Arabia. They are retiring for good. But they are dropping Singapore for a few days to meet Naj. Yes, its their first time to see Naj. This is a great start of the month.
