A ChOcO MuChO Chocolate VALENTINE REQUEST...

I was thinking of what to bring for the Valentine's Day on my daughter’s Film Viewing Activity, well actually I already have some food ideas in mind but very general.
Since it's a Film Viewing so a pica-pica or a snack to bring!
I just thought that I should bring food that is easy and quick to eat & most important of all is something that my child would like and will love to share!
It would surely not be a tiring day, but a challenging one for her to listen and watch well so I have to bring a not so challenging snack.

We all love chocolate and most of our kids are raised with the addiction too!

Here is another fun treat for kids!
A product of Republic Biscuit Corporation (Rebisco)-
CHOCO MUCHO...... Pure Chocolate Pleasure!!!

Crunchy WAFER topped with rich CARAMEL, crackling RICE CRISPIES enrobed in velvety MILK CHOCOLATE... Comes in Chocolate, White Chocolate and Peanut Butter variants... and now with the NEWEST TEMPTATION Dark Chocolate...

I decided to join and why not!? ^^
Since it's a LOVE Month and this simple request is for Valentines Day for my daughters school Activity, I and my kids want to share the sweet, crispy and chocolaty feeling with their classmates.

Here's a POEM made by my daughter Chloe:

Choco Mucho, Choco Mucho Chocolates!
Sweet, yummy, filled with rich chocolate,
Crisp, tasty that give out a chocolaty experience with every bite,
Can Rebisco made our Valentines Request filled with love and much---ooo
much---ooo Choco Mucho Chocolates???






My kids was preparing now a handmade Valentine's Day cards for each of their classmates and for their teacher.

Hoping and wishing to win a Choco Mucho gift packs from Rebisco to share the fun
on Heart's Day... Please??

Holiday Treats for Tots!

Ofcourse we want to be the best parent possible, and what could be better than laying down the basics for a life of healthy eating?

"Eat your vegetables!" This classic line is one that most parents are familiar with. Learn hassle free techniques for expanding the picky eater's palette.

Finding foods that are healthy, and that young ones will eat, can be tricky.
Young children are often very particular when it comes to eating certain foods. Parents must think of ways to help their little ones overcome this. Yay! (^_*)

And here is Holiday season! I smell it and it's just around the corner! My kids smell it too! Do you??
The smell of freshly baked cookies and the holidays seem to go together.
Part of the fun of the holiday season is spending time with your family, and there’s no better way to spend quality time with your loved ones than baking up some tasty holiday treats together! These recipe is so fun, easy, and super fun for kids!

NOTES: Can also add corn kernels, and raisins to add sweets on the tarts.

TIPS:
* Find a small, safe task that will involve the child in the meal preparation. If she has had a hand in the preparation, she might be more inclined to eat it.
Like me, I let my kids plant and harvest vegetables in our garden/backyard.


* Holiday seasoon is colorful, right! Kids loves colorful and sweet foods!
To make it healthy, instead of sweets used colorful vegetables and chopped it in small sizes or in different shapes.
Then add raisins and corn kernels to add sweetness!

* For the milk, can use the powdered milk of our little tots as best substitute!

* Pwede ring pang baon sa school! At pang give away di ba??^^

" Love as I see it : as a Eco Mom! "

"I am proud to say that I am a Eco Mom! A Mother who commits in allowing and encouraging my kids to play outside and enjoy nature. My goal is to take my children outside everyday,for them to learn what nature is,its importance and how to value it."




For me as a Mom, the best things to do is to enjoy quality time with my children, a time with my kids at the park, enjoying the view and exploring them the beauty of nature! An ideal instance of the way you might do this is as simple as spending a day every week along with your family members at the park.
You don’t need to perform something that is particularly extravagant to be able to
appreciate a time like that. Just getting out into the sunshine and fresh air!
Your child will benefit from the time out in the air, and you’ll benefit
from the time too.
When kids throw themselves into the natural world, through nature activities, then they will know what, how and why they have to care.



This year I'll make sure to have a great ADVENTURE with my kids...
More NATURE TRIPS!^^


Our next target place is the Pinacanauan River which is perfect for a boat trip. It's also near in Callao Cave, where it has seven chambers which you can explore. So excited this coming summer!




Mother Nature’s lap is a cozy place that naturally heals the body and calms the mind. The stress and fatigue that the body and mind accumulate in a busy life can be easily healed by connecting with nature, imagining her as mother.

This is how LOVE as I see it!
I am a 'green parent' and will lead my kids by setting a green example of myself.
