Treasure Jar

As a mom of three, most of the baby clothes my children wore when they were younger was in white. I didn’t go for the boy-girl color thing when they were still babies.

That was exactly what Beginnings COO Govind Daswani had in mind when he observed moms buying white infant garments for their babies. What he did was interview them and from their practical and sensible answers a new baby wear  concept came to be: all-white baby garments.

The reasons why Beginnings, an All-White Baby Clothes is just right for your baby:

1. It’s easier to spot stains and dirt.
2. It’s easier to detect insects (especially mosquitoes!)
3. It’s clean and cool to baby skin (perfect for our warm weather)

PLUS the fact that an all-white baby garments can be used for a baby girl or a baby boy!:)

And so Beginnings, an all-white baby clothes, was born.

Moms take into consideration everything when it concerns their babies. I know because I am one and it is good that Beginnings follows US standards for baby clothes:

We ran (or rather walked, hopped, skipped and tiptoed, just kidding) in Unilab’s Run United 1 2012 at the SM MOA last March 4, 2012.

Over-all the race was fun, especially at the 3k where everyone was in high spirits. I think most of the people there were newbie runners. There was quite a big number of children in that category and that includes my youngest daughter.

Impressions:

• The instructions were clear and the maps were easy to understand so we didn’t get lost and we knew exactly where to park to get to the starting line assigned for our category, 3k.
• Categories were segregated. The 3k runners ran with the 10 k runners while the 5k runners were on the other side of the same street. The 500m dash start and finish had an altogether different route along with the 21k runners who had an early start at the BGC and ended at the MOA.
• This race was more organized than the one we went to last year, the Run United 1 2011 because if I remember it right, there was only one finish line across all categories and it was a chaos then with  people going to and fro the finish line.
• There were lots of marshals who were smiling and some even greeted us “Good morning” when our eyes meet.
• The hydration tables were positioned appropriately and there were less trash on the road, unlike last year’s trash.

• The activity centers’ booths were positioned well too and there were no long lines to get the finisher’s kits.

All in all, it was an experience we will certainly remember.

Would we be joining Unilab’s Run United 2 2012?

The answer is a YES!

I love metal buildings that have great designs but I also love old concrete ones, especially those that “tell” stories.

Churches are a particular interest I like to take photos of or visit, if given the chance. These structures have been witness to many joyous events as well as sad ones. The walls have echoed silent tears of happiness and joy as well as grief and sadness.

Do you have a favorite church? Why do you like it?

Road trips are enjoyable. Whenever we have the chance to go on one, we savor the experience like it is our first road trip.

How to prepare for a road trip with children in tow?

• bring plenty of food that won’t spill nor make the tummies feel queasy
• bring lots of water in containers where one can easily drink from with minimum or no spillage
• dress appropriately
• check your vehicle and make sure you won’t be needing roadside assistance plans in a remote area where buildings/homes are few and far in between
• make sure all mobile phones are charged and/or bring chargers that you can use while in transit

I am sure there are a lot more tips that make sense when traveling with children. But one thing for sure, road trips are memorable experiences
