Aratiles. :)

The first time I showed this stuffed penguin to Tikoy, he hurriedly went to his book and opened it to a page where penguins were drawn. Few days later he also brought the same stuffed toy and pointed at the ceramic penguin cookie jar in the kitchen. He then shouted to Abi- “Same! Same!” It’s amazing how the human brain works. #brainrulesforbaby #babybraindevelopment

We got this foldable wooden tray and number board from @mommymundo Ulimate Mommy Clearance Clearout Sale last weekend. Our frugal hearts are happy. Nice seeing you @janicecvillanueva and @rjrdancel :) #mommymundo #garagesaleph #mommymundoclearancesale

Samgyupsal Saturday. Thank you to our sponsors. :) Our first time here at Jin Joo. #markxabieats

Mark’s pasalubong for Tikoy is this wooden carabao from Tuguegarao. :)

We’re here with the creators of Dapit Hapon of @wh6productions. They’re officially launching the 4th book of the series today at IndieKet 2019. #indieket2019 #indieketph

Hey batang 90’s mom and dads! Do you still remember hanging out with friends after school over sago’t gulaman and KFC (kikiam, fishball, chickenball)? 🍢 The gang from @wh6productions Dapit Hapon will take you down memory lane (and have you reaching for a glass or 5 of sago’t gulaman)! Catch them tomorrow at #indieket2019 at Unilab Bayanihan Center!

This rainy Sunday afternoon did not stop us from going to @mommymundo World at @thefifthatrockwell . We enjoyed talking with entrepreneurs/sales reps on the baby products/services that we liked. :) #mommymundoworld #mommymundo #markxabimommymundo @59s_ph #mommymundoworldx59sph

We're excited to share our take on this 100-year-old Japanese tradition of mindful spending. Stay tuned for announcements on our FREE webinars and face-to-face workshops on Kakeibo. Are you interested in exploring practical approaches on personal spending? We would love to hear your comments and suggestions. #kakeibo #kakeiboph #markxabikakeibo

In my hours of searching, I came across @sewphoria on Instagram and was smiling at the catchy name. Who doesn’t love a good pun, anyway? So I dived deep into their collection and was taken away by their cute prints and spot on branding. Their products run from bibdanas to twinning accessories that are made to order.

There’s no such thing as bad weather for kids. Tikoy had some “outside” fun after a heavy rain. Also a free photoshoot from @nixcaptures and a cool bibdana from @sewphoria! #atticusplaza #babytikoy #markxabiforsewphoria

Today, we are launching #thankfulThursdays wherein we honor brands, services or people who have genuinely helped us in our parenting journey. Warning: this is a long post We would like to say THANK YOU to @tinybudsbaby for: 1. Being the first baby brand that collaborated with us in our blogging journey. We can vividly remember the day that they responded to our social media campaign pitch. No questions asked, they automatically agreed to partner with us. It was risky (and partly reckless) for them to trust newbies like us but they did it anyway. And for this, we are truly grateful. 2. Talking with us during @mommymundo and @momzilla events. Shoutout to Lorin who is always sweet and kind whenever we had the chance to see her during the fairs/expos. We have never been to any Tiny Buds exclusive events yet but whenever we see their booths, it always feels like a friendly space. We always look for new products and see if the ones that we regularly buy are on sale. 3. Handling our shipping concerns. We experienced receiving damaged goods twice when we ordered online. Our baby safe liquid fabric conditioner were spilled during delivery. They handled our complaints very well. Indeed, Tiny Buds has raised the bar of Philippine customer service. 4. Being our trusted brand for our baby’s dental care, fabric conditioner, stain remover, baby utensils drying rack and more. Whenever we had the chance to talk to Lorin about their products, she would always tell us- “please tell me if it works for you.” This statement empowers parents like us to never settle for poor quality products for our baby, to be aware that there are always options and to truly see if the product delivers what it has promised. Thank you, Tiny Buds Baby! #markxabithanks

QUESTION: What bib or bibdana brands are you using right now? We would love to know. :) #markxabiasks

Tikoy tried this play area by @thelittlegardenph at the @mommymundo Expo Mom North. His plant-loving tita @unichee_ wanted him to do gardening (kahit na make-believe na lang) :)
