Last of Mother’s Day "Week" Amazing Grace Giveaways: Win P1, 000 worth of Mommy Patch products!

by Leave a Comment

I JUST realized that I wasn’t able to post giveaways for the remaining days of Mother’s Day “week” here (the last Amazing Grace giveaway by Medela Moms was posted on Thursday!) 🙂 “So many things to do, so little time” has been my “mantra” these past days! 🙂 LOL!

Anyway, I did have a surprise overnight giveaway for entry passes to the 4th Philippine Homeschool Conference, so that should count, right?! (OK, I just re-titled that post, so it counts now, LOL!) 🙂

Anyway (again! Haha!), I’m sure you’ll love the last of the Mother’s Day “week” Amazing Grace giveaways: TWO blessed winners will get P1,000 worth of wonderful products from Mommy Patch! 🙂

I have personally tried and reviewed a few of Mommy Patch’s products, and I TOTALLY LOVE them! You can take a peek at the products on Multiply here or on Facebook  (though the Multiply site is more updated).

Mommy Cel Lopez-Dioneda, the mompreneur behind Mommy Patch, is also super nice and friendly! 🙂 I looove the fact that she comes up with her products herself, and that she came up with the business out of love for her daughter! 🙂 Mompreneurs are the BEST!

So here are the giveaway details:

ELIGIBILITY AND CONTEST PERIOD

Eligibility: This contest is open to Philippine residents only.
Contest period: Contest will run from May 20 to June 3, 2012. The winner will be announced by June 4, 2012.

50 Days of Amazing Grace: Days 35, 36, 37 & 38 – Mother’s Day Should Be Every Day

by Leave a Comment

I was a bit occupied this past weekend, trying to recover from the cold and cough that had been bugging me since the middle of the week — so I spent more time resting and just being with family. This is one of the reasons why I failed to update the 50 Days of Amazing Grace posts. That, and maybe blogger fatigue, haha! I didn’t used to post as regularly on this blog as I am now, LOL! 🙂

The kids LOVE “going to the ocean” on Saturdays (at Kindermusik)! 🙂

Last Saturday, the kids and I went to Kindermusik and then we went to my parents’ place in Cainta, since hubby was out of town. I tried catching up on emails, work-related stuff and blog giveaways and guest posts (the key word is “try,” haha!) while we were there — maximizing the free wifi available! Teehee! 🙂 We also visited the Christian Life Program that was being held in the village.

On Sunday, we went to Mass in the morning with my dad and tita (aunt) and managed to squeeze in time for a haircut for Tim and moi (more of trying to get over my Mother’s Day guilt, read about it here, LOL!), a bit of proofreading and a lot of mother-ing. Things didn’t go as I had planned (hubby and I were supposed to go on a date) BUT I realized… well.. that’s motherhood for ya, right?!

You don’t stop being a mother, even if it’s Mother’s Day.
You don’t stop wanting to give your kids the best of you, even for a day.
You don’t stop asking for God’s amazing grace to fill up the places where you lack
And to erase the pain and hurt you cause when you mess up (which, in my case, is A LOT) every.single.day.
Mother’s Day, I believe, isn’t just for a day.
Mother’s Day should be every day.
We must treasure our role as moms every day.
And ask God for the grace to be the best that we can be,
Even if being the best means just being enough.


I hope these articles and videos will inspire you to celebrate who you are as a mom, every single day, just as they inspired me to do so. I am imperfect, but the love I wish to give is perfect. And I will strive to let the Perfect Lover up above help me do so every day. 🙂 Join me?

Hi, dear readers! 🙂

First things first.

To all the fabulous moms out there (especially my own Mama), this message is for you:

Second, well, I’m off to treat myself to a {budget} haircut (oh yes, that in itself is a treat for this low-maintenance mom!) and will spend some quality time with my little boy, too (forgive me, but we had another mother-son squabble earlier, so I’m making it up to him! Yep, I’m imperfectly human, folks! I get mad, shout at my kids, sometimes I end up spanking them, too! BUT I vow to stop that from this day on. *guilty sigh*). Hubby’s coming home from Bataan later (he led a teambuilding activity there) so we’re hoping to get some date time this evening. 🙂

Soooo.. that’s why I am just announcing our latest Amazing Grace giveaway, rather than post about it! LOL! 🙂 So sorry, haven’t gotten around to fixing the Rafflecopter details but will do tonight! 🙂 Just so you know, you stand the chance to win some AWESOME prizes from ! 🙂

Catch ya later! 🙂 Blessings on us all! 🙂
