Wifely Steps

Tweet My toddler has very sensitive skin, so it’s ultra important for me to pick a liquid detergent that doesn’t leave his baby skin irritated. I’m also picky about what liquid cleanser to use for his eating utensils. There are several good products out on the market, but hey, finding something better is always a [...]

Tweet Earth Hour was fun. It was a great time to whip out one of my favorite toddler toys — the flashlight! A flashlight is one of my favorite items because it keeps my 2-year-old occupied for a (relatively) long time. His flashlight is the type that lights only when you press the button, so [...]

Tweet This shelf of toy bins was a present from Timmy’s grandparents, and we originally used it to organize his toys. After a few weeks though, we found it was an even better way to organize his books. Each bin can hold up to a dozen books depending on size. The bins hold his small- [...]

Tweet Sometimes I tell my son to be a doctor or a lawyer. There’s no money in the arts (Exhibit A: Me). But I know whatever he pursues, if there’s a writer in him too, I’ll fully support it. Follow your heart, anak. Happiness is wealth too. Tweet

Tweet Clutter around the house is a sign of an active toddler. Oh boy, how active is my own. Minutes before this picture was taken, he was drawing on his sketch pad. Then he was drawing on his chair. Before I knew it, he had abandoned most of his crayons on the floor and started [...]

Tweet Want your toddler to stand still for twenty minutes? This is the game for you. It’s also the game to play when the weather’s grey outside and the toddler has gotten tired of all the things he can play with inside the house (this usually includes non-toys). It’s the WHAT’S IN THE SOCK? game! [...]

The Lactacyd Baby Bath Care Village is an event that promotes proper baby care and active parenting being key to a child’s holistic growth. You’ve heard that “It takes a village to raise [...]

Tweet A week ago, someone told me, “You can’t live your dream because you’re only a Mom.” My initial reaction was anger, then fury, then feeling peeved. After calming down, I realized that statement could be taken positively or negatively. It really depends on what your perspective is but for sure your reaction would depend [...]

Tweet Eat when you’re hungry. When you’re cranky, take a nap. Things will be better upon waking up. Don’t hold back excitement! Throw your hands up in the air and stomp your feet! See the world from a different perspective by lying on the floor, or spinning around in many circles and then lying on [...]
