THE ULTIMATE BREAD JOURNEY GARDENIA KIDDIE WORKSHOP2018

Summer is not over yet and workshops for our kiddos are still on going. My daughter and I got a chance to visit Gardenia Philippines, Wednesday last week. We were able to experience a tour around the factory as well as the kids. It was our first time and we found the factory amazing.

 

You and your children will definitely enjoy the adventure inside the big factory of freshly baked breads in the Philippines.

 

My daughter had so much fun and even asked to go back there if though we even haven't left the place. The experience was awesome. The photos can reveal that.

Goldilocks' Junior Club Fun Day

Kids will always be kids, at the mention of “kids”, innocence and purity comes to mind. The cheerful youthfulness of children is a breath of fresh air for adults around them as these youngsters have yet to experience the ups and downs of life, therefore equipping these children with the proper skills will give them a significant boost as they continue to grow and mature.

These important signs are seen by Goldilocks, the country’s number one bakeshop and are embodied in their recently concluded “Junior Club Fun Day” celebration held at the Kidzania complex in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig.

 

This place is my daughter's favorite, her happiest place on earth, Kidzania.  She said that she will never get tired of going back here and do the activities again and again while earning. The successful event, which was on its second year continued the Goldilocks tradition of giving importance and appreciation to our youth.

The festivities which started from 4:30pm – 9:00pm aimed to encourage Goldilocks Junior Club members to learn important life skills by partaking in the plethora of activities offered by the Kidzania establishment.

Such activities include, an indoor “play city” which taught the children the value of spending and earning money by applying for “jobs” one of which was a ability to work and create cakes in a mini bakeshop that has been partnered with Goldilocks, and much more!

In addition to the activities during the event, entertainment acts such as dance numbers were present, guaranteeing a fun filled day for everyone in attendance.
The surprised appearance and dance number of the Goldilocks mascot even made it sweeter.

 

 

The event was a hit to everyone in attendance as all members, both young and old were able to experience the joy of working hand in hand while simultaneously learning through the process of doing the activities..

Kidzania is actually my daughter's favorite place. This is her happiest place on earth, according to her. We got so excited to do her first job, which is to design her own favorite Goldilocks mammon.

DELGADO CLINIC : FREE Optimal Birth Outcome Program

 

I was a first-time mom at age 31. Looking back, I remember the experiences I had was truly amazing. I never thought of many things until I became a mother to our wonderful daughter.

 

If you are planning to have a baby soon or if you are a first-mom too, you would need a lot of help to make things right during your pregnancy period. Just to let you know, Dr. Jesus Delgado Memorial Hospital, more popularly known as the Delgado Clinic, has been championing mother care for 70 years with a record of more than a hundred thousand babies being delivered to date. From normal births to high-risk complications, the Delgado Clinic has taken an extra measure of love and personalized care as all mothers do to make sure their child not only lives, but flourishes.
 

Dr. Rolando “Oyie” Balburias, President and General Manager of Delgado Clinic once stated that , “We at Delgado Clinic would like to continue the legacy of our late founder, Dr. Jesus Delgado, his VISION and MISSION, and on being the pioneer advocate of CHAMPION OF MOTHER CARE for the past 70 years.”

 

True to its legacy, the Delgado Clinic introduces the Optimal Birth Outcome (OBO) program, a free three-day workshop that serves as the ultimate care, support and education system for moms-to-be designed to minimize or even eliminate congenital defect, premature birth, new-born infections, and other chronic complications for both mothers and children.

 

OPTIMAL BIRTH OUTCOME

 

An Optimal Birth Outcome (OBO) is achieved when there is zero or reduced complications. The OBO program does this by providing added-value services in support of the foundational needs of every individual mother. No matter what level of physical or emotional health they mother comes in with, the goal of the program is to provide the best possible childbearing outcome for each mother and child.

 

The OBO program focuses on five aspects of health that are scientifically proven to have wide ranging effects for every pregnancy.

•    Nutrition and Wellness- Delgado Clinic has localized the latest scientific nutrition information to support reduced negative birth outcomes, achieve optimum growth and development of the baby and provide a stable environment from which both mother and child may spring from.
 

•    Biotransformation & Elimination of Toxicants- The advent of urbanization has surrounded mothers with multiple toxic elements that are often missed and unassessed. Pulling from the latest scientific evidence the OBO program equips mothers with the practical knowledge of avoiding and substituting today’s most commonly used harmful chemicals.

•    Stress Management- Stress during pregnancy affects a child’s developing brain, metabolic system and body. Through the OBO stress mangament workshop mothers are taught the multiple ways of managing stress and its link to long term maternal and child diseases.

•    Exercise in Pregnancy - Physical exercise is an activity that improves or maintains physical fitness and overall health and wellness. Exercise during pregnancy is important and can help with some common discomforts of pregnancy and support the body for labor, delivery and life after delivery.

• Sleep Management- Establishing good sleep patterns during pregnancy is physically, psychologically and emotionally important. A good sleep pattern plays an important role in the preparation for birth, and protects the baby from the psychological stresses and strains of pregnancy.

 

Empowered by Johnson & Johnson, the First Time Mom Unit (FTMU) facility that caters to first time moms in their medical and hospital needs, and the Delgado Clinic’s Optimal Birth Outcome (OBO) program aims to deliver enriching workshops for the mother not only to give birth to a healthy baby, but also to be holistically healthy before, during, and after the pregnancy.
 

 

 
SIGN UP FOR 3-DAY WORKSHOP

 

By signing onto the First Time Mom Unit (FTMU) and Optimal Birth Outcome (OBO) workshops, moms-to-be also become eligible to join on the “Bet on Your D-Day.” The exclusive contest created by the Delgado Clinic to give OBO participants more than just an educational reward but a chance to win discounts on their maternity packages and other amazing prizes.

The OBO program is scheduled to launch on January 20 followed by the succeeding workshops on January 27 and February 3, 2018 at the Delgado Clinic.

For more information on the OBO program, please visit the First Time Mom Unit of Jesus Delgado Memorial Hospital located at 7 Kamuning Road, Diliman, Quezon City, or visit their website,

Give Mom a Mother's Holiday

Dapat lang we honor our moms and make them feel special this Mother’s Day!

Mother’s Day is a time for people to thank their moms for their never-ending sacrifices for the family. After all, they assume different roles round-the-clock just to make our lives comfortable – a chef to prepare our meals every day, a doctor to tend to us when we are sick, a teacher to help us with school work and life problems, a CEO of the household, our protector to make sure we are always safe, and so many more!  

In celebration of Mother’s Day, Solane, the leading provider of LPG solutions, reminds everyone to show their love and appreciation to the woman who ceaselessly devotes herself to the family. This occasion is another moment that falls in perfectly with Solane’s Dapat Lang campaign, a program that emphasizes the importance of doing the right thing, for the family, for others and society as a whole.

And so for their continuous sacrifice, dapat lang we honor and make them feel special, and we can definitely do so through these five simple heartwarming deeds:

Cook breakfast for mom. Mothers are usually the first ones to wake up early to prepare meals and baon for the kids. This time around, let mom sleep a little longer and prepare her favorite breakfast food. Make it even more special and let her have breakfast in bed. Not only will mom admire the gesture, but it’s also guaranteed to be a good kick-start to Mother’s Day.

Let our mom enjoy a work-free day. Being head of the household means overseeing if the house is clean, ensuring the pantry is stocked with food, and cooking food for the family. Without a doubt, it can get tiring for our moms. On Mother’s Day, help her by volunteering to do the household chores and let her sit back and relax.

 

Spend time together. Set aside all other plans and enjoy the rest of the day with mom. Gather the whole family together and celebrate an adventure-filled day like a picnic in the park, outdoor barbecue, a hike or swim, or an out-of-town trip. This will definitely make mom feel special!

Pamper our mom. This is the perfect time to make our mothers feel like queens for a day. After all the chores she’s been doing, treat her to a quick session of mani-pedi, an hour worth of massage, or even something as simple as putting cucumber slices on her face for an affordable at-home facial that will immediately make her feel like royalty.

Surprise mom with a simple gift. Celebrating Mother’s Day doesn’t have to be grand or expensive. Simple gestures like making a hand-made card with a short but sweet message, offering a long-stemmed rose, or baking a cake will surely warm her heart. As they say, it’s the thought that counts!

So go ahead and try these simple tips. Not only will your mom feel loved, but it will also make your bond even stronger. Dapat lang!

 

Dapat lang we honor our moms and make them feel special this Mother’s Day!
