Rustan’s Department Store allows you to give both mother and child the best they deserve with countless promotions from exclusive brands and activities that will bring the whole family closer together. The Mother’s May Diaries, a month-long celebration, spoils these superwomen as they’re meant to enjoy the finer things in life.

Take your mother on a shopping spree to Rustan’s and replenish her wardrobe with the latest styles from their women’s wear that caters to any occasion. A gray Sinequanone skirt with playful ruffle detail and Sergio Rossi blythe flats, topped with an MZ Wallace Tiger Eye Iris bag would be a nice addition to her selection of every day wear. But for special date nights with dad, a tailor-fit lace dress from Adolfo Dominguez paired with a glamorous pair of Christian Louboutin Pigle Follier and elegant handbag from Coccinelle – or perhaps she’d prefer a gold Rafe clutch? You can also choose to go with a flowy kaftan from Natori topped off with a Ti Sento Bangle or Ziio Bracelet if she’s planning an island getaway for the family soon.

For pieces that accentuate the home, Lladro and Meissen offer delicate porcelain pieces that symbolize genuine love between mother and child as a tribute to her. While it’s tradition for parents to pass on heirlooms to their children, why not add to the collection some delicately exquisite pieces from Bernardaud and Lalique.

If you’re planning to give something extra special this year, take it up a notch by surprising your mom with fine jewelry and ardent adornments like silver earrings from Adami & Martucci or John Hardy, and gold rock candy lollipop necklace from Ippolita. The elegant pieces from Yvel and Mikimoto would very much delight her if she loves precious stones and pearls. But if that’s not enough, nothing says ‘thank you’ and ‘I love you’ better than luscious pickings from Rustan’s Silver Vault. Pick from a wide selection of exquisite diamond earrings from Damiani, beautiful Carrera Y Carrera white gold pendants, and sophisticated rings from Tamara Comoli and Marco Bicego.

To Mom To Dad

By | Mother's Day, Today's Quote | One Comment

Though today is my day, being Mom, I would also like to give credit where credit is due.  i would feel so guilty if I took all the credit for being Mom!

3-boys-sf.JPG

This is the usual perception about Moms and Dads but in my family, Dad is very much a Mom and this does not hold true at all.  It’s probably the other way around with us because we all go to Dad/Papa and rely on him to take care of all of us including me 🙂  Not to mention all the household chores he helps me with!   

to-mom.jpg

James is a very very hands on Dad, he’s actually Mom to the boys since they were kids.  It’s so hard to raise boys because I could only relate to girl matters!  It’s a good thing Papa is always willing to help!!!! What would I do without him??moms-day-is-for-dad-1.JPG

From their haircut as kids and until this day 🙂  

dad-is-mom-haircut.JPG

How could we have moved in the dorm without Papa!??  Papa takes care of all the educational matters of the kids!

dad-is-mom-moving-in-dorm.JPG

The two boys and I are so lucky to have our Mom! 🙂   I won’t give him all the credit but I share the day with him.  Happy Mother’s Day to Papa! 🙂  We love you! We would be lost without you!

Breastfeeding Journey of Pam

By | Mother's Day, Tributes | 2 Comments

Sharing here a true story about my sister in law, Pam.  She had to buy this freer to store all her breast milk.  I know someone else who bought 2 freezers and another friend had a chest freezer!!  

breastfeeding-journey-of-pam-2.JPG

Thanks also to Medela’s double breast pump! I wish I had this during my time

breastfeeding-journey-of-pam-3.JPG

 This goes everywhere Mommy Pam goes even to Hong Kong! 🙂 

 medela-hk.jpeg

Her baby is now 6 months old and still is drinking pure breast milk. Look how healthy and cute he is!!! I think the milk is going to the cheeks and chin 🙂

and arms 🙂

Plus Mommy Pam donated all this milk which came out to 20 liters of breast milk to the Philippine General Hospital ( PGH ) ICU Nursery.   How nice that she can help other babies in the ICU at the same time her baby is so healthy drinking all that breast milk

Pam told me that it’s a UNICEF advocacy tie up with PGH called Beauty, Brains and Breastfeeding

bbb-campaign-unicef.jpgbbb-unicef-article-breastfeeding-advocacy.jpgunicef-bbb.jpg

This milk does not come out easy.  Mommy Pam really makes sure she is able to have lots of milk.  She eats healthy.  She juices too and eats a lot of malunggay.  Aside from that, She hired a Breastfeeding Coach- Coach Z ( Zeny ).  

Coach Z has a book
