Easter Sunday is around the corner and many establishments have prepared a grand celebration for children around the metro to celebrate the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ!  Check some of these Eater Egg Hunting Events HERE.

Some of these events are free or Php1,000 under which is already a compelling reason for families to go to the malls or hotels this coming Easter Sunday for the fun games, activities, shows, and of course hunt for eggs in exchange of prizes.  In the past years, I've done that with my children and though each time they're exciting and happy, they are also tired. 

• They are on a vacation and taking advantage of the long weekend.
• They don't have a budget for hotel events.
• Even if they have a budget, the registration has ended.
• Free mall activities are always jam-packed and they don't have enough patience to endure long queues.
• Being in a crowded place is not their idea of fun.
• They'd rather stay home to avoid the traffic.

And many more reasons.

It has been a busy month, this March, yes?  Holy Week is also coming up to give us time to reflect on your lives and commemorate how God loves us all so much that He gave His only son Jesus Christ to save us all.  During this time, some families go on vacations or hotel staycations, some stay home and attend church services and pray, while others go on retreats.

The most celebrated day of the Holy Week is the Resurrection of Jesus Christ or Easter Sunday.  Mommies and Daddies, let's not forget the very reason for the season, Jesus Christ.  For most kids, what they look forward to are Easter Egg Hunting activities around the metro.  I hope it;s not too late to post this, here's a quick compilation of the egg hunting events in Metro Manila and nearby cities.

When school is out, it's Summer time for the kids!  Summer is one of the most awaited breaks of our family.  It's our time to bond during family vacations or if not travelling, through playtime.

But because it's summer, it's really humid at times so my kids get SSS - Sweaty, Sticky, and sometimes Stinky!  We could take the bath route up to twice a day but when bath time isn't time yet, I keep them fresh and cool instantly with baby colognes.

Even I am a fan of baby colognes for that instant fresh feeling so with this, we've tried different brands.  Apart from our regular, we're happy to rediscover Bambini Baby Cologne.
Its launch came at such a perfect timing kasi pa-Summer na moms like me scout for products especially colognes to keep their kids smelling and feeling fresh.  Cosmetique Asia, the makers of Bambini Baby Cologne, couldn't have chosen endorsers more perfect for their brand - beautifully pregnant celebrity mom Ms. Iya Villania-Arellano and her son Baby Primo!
Bambini Baby Cologne underwent a brand refresh with a new look guaranteed to appeal to the young ones.  “We wanted to focus on the playful bond that kids share with their parents. With Bambini, we make these precious random moments more enjoyable. It is evident even in our packaging. We made sure they are attractive enough for children so in choosing what variant to buy, parents and kids get to have fun and interact. All these while maintaining high quality standard and other requirements most parents are looking for — hypoallergenic and dermatologist tested. In the near future, we want to launch a complete range of child specific products with a fun loving vibe,” says Cosmetique Asia’s Vice President for Sales and Corporate Development, Tim Chuongco.
The official unveiling of the new Bambini Baby Cologne was an unforgettable event for families because the Glorietta activity center was transformed into a fair where you'll find different activity booths for kids to enjoy!  The Bambini Baby Cologne Family Bootcamp became a perfect mom-and-baby playtime.  And even if the kids enjoy a little bit too much and get sweaty and smelly, Bambini Baby Colognes are ready to the rescue!  Just look at all these fun kiddie activities:

Sunny Playtime Ballpit

Ocean Kisses Masterpiece

Starry Lullaby Bouncy Castle

Morning Tickles Big Puzzle Blocks

Bambini Baby Colognes are available in three sizes — 25ml, 50ml and 125ml — and packaged in an easy-to-go grip curvy bottle, the Bambini Baby Cologne lets parents and children enjoy life’s little surprises anytime, anywhere.
