Eating For Two

When a woman gets pregnant, her food preference greatly changes. It is surprising to find out that she would not like to eat most of her favorites prior to her pregnancy. The fluctuating hormones will also find her craving for varied, and sometimes odd, food varieties that she would not usually eat on any given day. And she would sometimes find herself eating more than her usual intake, which is rather healthy as she will need all the vitamins and nutrients she can get from healthy foods. This is not only to keep her healthy throughout the course of her pregnancy, but also to make sure that the child inside her womb will develop to be healthy and strong, too.

Some of the recommended healthy food for pregnant women includes:

Yogurt, which will provide her not only with calcium, but also with other essential vitamins and minerals
Sardines, which are rich in omega 3’s crucial to the baby’s eye and brain development
Blueberries, especially the wild ones. expecting mom’s will love these berries, not only for the good taste, but also because they have a great amount of antioxidants which are good for the mom and her baby.

Gifts for the home

What gift do you want to get this Christmas? As for me, I want to receive some gifts for the home. It doesn’t have to be a lavish one, a simple candle holder or dining or bathroom accessories will do. I’ll be happy to get some bath soap, too. If you are creative enough, you…

Walking the dog

I’ve found a better way to exercise. They say walking is a good form of exercise. Then walking is what I do at least twice a day. I’m walking with a buddy, the best companion yet. He is our dog Oreo. I started walking with Oreo since he learned to do his regular ritual outside…

The year that was

A lot of good and not-so worthwhile things happened to my family this year. In February, my kids were hospitalized for dengue fever. The only fund we have during that time was the 13th month pay that my husband received from his company. We were saving up that money to pay for the tuition fee…
