Honestbee, making life easy

Going through motherhood is never easy. Being a hands on mommy, time is so precious that I have to make wiser decisions on how am I going to spend it. Today, I find delivery services essential to my life just like my new best friend. 😊

First Lazada, for I can search almost everything. Mostly for my baby needs etc. Then, Food delivery services such as Foodpanda and Good Food Vegetarian, if I'm too busy with Baby Adi and I have no time to prepare for our lunch or dinner they're the one who saves me/us from hunger. And just recently, I'm so happy to get to know about Honestbee.

I love doing the groceries, I find it very therapeutic. I used to go through all the aisles trying to look for great deals, checking for nutritional facts, prices and the expiry dates. That was before I became a mom. Now, it's such a hard task even if the grocery store is just so near from our place. Imagine bringing my baby in a stroller to the grocery store all by myself, there were times we're unlucky to find ourselves in a long queue at the counter.

There's this one time, Baby Adi got very hungry during our queue at the counter. I breastfeed her by the way. So, there she got hungry and started crying. I had to feed her first  before we can get home. Since the store didn't have an area where i can breastfeed privately, I just grabbed a seat somewhere there, cover then off to feed her.

Just imagine my agony and how much was time wasted doing the grocery alone.

And there goes Honestbee. Here's a brief background on how I came across Honestbee. Every night I kept on seeing Honestbee' s riders outside the grocery store. I didn't know what it was back then. Out of curiosity I googled it. I'm so pleased with the services they're offering. They offer groceries, food and laundry delivery services. I downloaded it from the App Store and tadaaaa! Groceries on my doorstep. Not only that, I was given P500% off my first transaction. It's just wow!

Thank you for making my life easy, Honestbee! 🐝😘

Parenting tips on How to make your kids
take their medicine

 

As a parent, you know that making your children take their medicine can pose quite a challenge. That’s because most of the time, children find their medicines to be bad-tasting, so they will do practically anything to avoid having to take them.

Don’t give up. Knowing this fact already brings you one step closer to finding out how you can make them take their medicine instead of forcing or fighting with them. Here are some things that can help you:

Talk to your kids. Explain to them why they need to take their medicine. Be firm yet patient in telling them that taking their medicine is an important step to making them better.

Some mothers use the airplanes and spaceships trick in putting the spoon or dropper into their kids’ mouth. While this is fun and cute, it is not strongly recommended as children may begin to associate medicines with playing games.

Choose good-tasting medicines. Toddlers and older children shun food that do not taste good. The same principle applies to medication. Yummy-flavored medicines are a lot easier to take than those that taste bitter or have flavors that are too strong.

When it comes to cough medications, it’s a good thing there’s ASCOF Lagundi Syrup. Made from 100% Lagundi leaves, it comes in delicious flavors such as strawberry, ponkan and menthol. And because it is natural, you can be sure that it is safe to give to children.

Give medicines that are easy to take. Some medicines are difficult for kids to swallow. As much as possible, choose something that is in syrup form so it’s easy for children to take.

Because it is available in syrup format, ASCOF Lagundi Syrup is convenient toadminister. . Just put the recommended amount of ASCOF syrup in a spoon or dropper, or use the dosage cup that comes free with every bottle.

Stick to the schedule. Skipping your child’s medicine intake schedule may give them the impression that they no longer need to take their medication. Sticking to the schedule will avoid confusion and will also help your children be more prepared in taking their medicine.
Do not mix medicine with food. : This tactic used by some parents in giving medication is not encouraged, because your child may not be able to take the entire intended dosage if he/she does not finish his/her food. Not only that, your child may begin to refuse any food given in the future, thinking that it may contain medicine.

Always have a positive attitude. Smile and be cheerful when administering medicine, so that your child will see the activity as something pleasant.
Say something like “It’s time for your medicine” in a happy voice, to reassure your child and give him/her the impression that there is nothing to worry about.

With these tips and further advice from your pediatrician, you can make your children take their medicine without the drama, and ensure that they recover from their illness much faster.
