Truly Rich Recommendations {Baby Products}: St. Patrick "Anti-Skid" Socks (+ A Special Offer from Numa Baby! :)

November 30, 2012 by Tina Leave a Comment

Did you know?

According to Babycenter.com, some of the most common childhood accidents include head injuries caused by falls from slippery floors, nose injuries caused by falling on a hard surface, fractures and sprains caused by hard falls, and contusions — bruises under the skin — caused by bumps and falls.

As a mom of two (plus a bun in the oven!), I’ve experienced the same fear and anxiety most of you parents out there have probably felt when your little ones started trying to stand and walk. When Rysse was younger, we got her anti-skid socks to help prevent accidental slips. (We weren’t able to get Tim those, as we were primarily based in Timor that time, and even if we would come home to the Philippines for vacations, I was a bit clueless about them then, haha!)

Now that we’re based in Manila, I know that there are sooo many great options for children’s accessories and footwear — and I’m super excited for Baby No. 3 to come out, so we can ~~have an excuse to buy~~ try some of those goodies! 🙂

One of the brands that really understands your baby is St. Patrick Baby. If you’ve read the story of Kathy Ang-Tan, the mompreneur behind Numa Baby, you’ll know that St. Patrick is the brainchild of Kathy’s mom. So their products are really mom-endorsed and of good quality!

And now, St. Patrick Baby has a new product out — Anti-Skid Socks! 🙂

The socks are available only at Numa — you can get them in pink and blue colors at P289.75 for 3 (three) pairs. Sizes available are 0-6, 6-12 and 12-24 months.

Special Introductory Offer from Numa! 🙂

If you order now, (as in right now!) you get 20% off per order! 🙂 The promo is only good until December 2, 2012 (this Sunday!), so hurry! 🙂 It’s only valid for the FIRST 30 PARENTS who order! 🙂 Shipping is free for the first 20 orders — what a great deal, right? 🙂

To order, please email with the following information:

Your name
Shipping address

Exciting News + St. Patrick Baby and Numa Baby Amazing Grace Giveaways!

September 4, 2012 by Tina Leave a Comment

In case you haven’t seen my posts on or , well, THIS is the reason why I’ve been feeling so tired and lazy and grouchy (especially towards a few particular people):

I’m pregnant with our third child! 🙂 Another blessing from the Lord! We said when Rysse turns 3, puwede na siya sundan (literally “she can be followed {by another child}”), Lord! Well, God answered right away, didn’t He? 🙂

We found out this great news the very same day our friends laid their precious one-year-old to rest, and so our joy was still subdued and overshadowed by grief and mourning. Until now, my heart aches with Vania and Santi, and their other family members as well. I only pray that they will find the strength to move on from this — though I am sure they will. God is good and faithful!

So anyway, if you guys find me posting less on this blog and on social media, well, you know why now. Haha! Honestly, I’ve been really tired lately, and my back aches a lot (or maybe that’s because of something else, not my pregnancy! LOL!)

I’ve been asking around for a good OB, who is pro-breastfeeding and natural childbirth (though I never took Lamaze classes or other childbirth preparation classes, I was able to give birth anesthesia-free to both kids — by God’s grace!) and is affiliated with a hospital that we can afford! Haha! Any suggestions? (Pls. leave a comment below! :D)

Anyway (OK, that’s the second time I used the word “anyway”! Haha!)… like the title of this post says, since we have exciting news to share, let’s have another giveaway, shall we?! 🙂 Actually, TWO giveaways, c/o my fabulous partners and !

Before we move on though, did you guys know that St. Patrick Baby is actually proudly Filipino-owned-and-run, and all products are 100% Pinoy? Here’s a bit of “history” about the brand:

In 1985, the birth of a little boy named Patrick sparked his mother’s desire: where can she find the perfect clothes for her perfect baby boy?

The mother’s wish was to provide her son with the most comfortable baby clothes produced from 100% cotton, but what she mostly saw in the market then were garments made from synthetic content like polyester. Baby clothes that were easy for moms to put on babies were also hard to come by. Believing that moms need all the help that they can get and babies deserve only the best care regardless of cost, she began her own company.

Thus, St. Patrick^® was born, becoming the first local premium baby clothing brand that puts emphasis on quality, and embraced by mothers in the Philippines for over 27 years.

Our story started with a mother’s care for her child, and that’s how we know how to care for you and your own baby, too.

Here at St. Patrick^®, we listen and we understand.

In fact, the mom behind St. Patrick inspired her own daughter to set up her own baby-friendly brand/store, Numa Baby! 🙂 You can read more about how that happened here.

And now, on to our giveaways! I am so happy that St. Patrick and Numa are sharing in our joy by sharing their blessings with you guys! Here’s what is up for grabs:

St. Patrick Organics long-sleeved overlap shirt (1 pc.)

St. Patrick Organics short-sleeved overlap shirt (1 pc.)

St. Patrick Organics briefs (2 pcs.)

(Available sizes are: 0-3 months, 3-6 months and 6-9 months)

1 Earth Mama Angel Baby music CD — can also be a breastfeeding companion

Please take note that there will be TWO separate Rafflecopter widgets so there will be only ONE winner of the prize and only ONE winner of the Earth Mama Angel Baby music CD from .

The giveaways are open to everyone who has Philippine shipping addresses and will run from September 5 to September 19. Please enter everything so that your entries will be considered valid. 🙂 Have fun, everyone! 😀 And thanks for all your support and prayers! 🙂

May 24, 2012 by Tina Leave a Comment

Good morning, everyone! 🙂

I said in my post about the Amazing Grace Giveaway by Numa that I’d announce the winner on May 27, Pentecost Sunday, but I realized that it’s pointless to do so, since one can already see which Facebook photo has the most number of likes. Haha! 🙂

So, without further ado, the winner of the giveaway is… (drum roll)
