SPiN's First Advocacy Fashion Show 2016

South Pinanays (SPiN) celebrated their 3rd anniversary this year by showcasing their very own SPiN Moms, Dads and their cute little ones on the runway. This is the first ever advocacy fashion show that SPiN came up with and probably the first in the country. Outfits were mainly from a fashionable nursing wear brand, Mommyfide, which was founded and owned by mom-preneur and SPiN admin, Katrina Ambion.

The Fashion Show was the program's highlight of the event last October 8, 2016 at the Activity Center in Alabang Town Center. Participants and even shoppers all around were captivated by the show.

The runway was opened by Camille Manalo who was wearing a Mommyfide Gray Basic T-Shirt dress while rocking a ninja-like glove for her sprained wrist but that did not stop her from strutting on the runway. She was tandem-wearing her toddlers in size 6 Risaroo Dogwood Emerald woven wrap and a shorty Kokoro woven wrap.

My top carrier picks that day were:

Madame Goo Goo Mesh in Nautical Grey pattern

Madame Goo Goo in Little Triangles with a Butterfly pattern on the waist belt and Kokoro Candy Striped Ring Slings

Baby SaBye Mei Tai in Pink and Grey natural, organic dyes

Witnessing this Fashion Show live, it was just surreal and electrifying. It sure feels like being surrounded by the super stars of brands and Mom-preneurs. Theres a sense of pride being in the sea of moms and dads.

Great Image Family Photoshoot

The Christmas Holiday is fast approaching and it is a perfect time for families to get their photos taken. There are many options to choose from and we got ours from Great Image Studios. We went to Beloved Studios in Megamall which is also a sub-company of Great Images. We were accommodated by their manager, A and Joan, the photographer. They made us feel at ease and were very patient with giving us instructions and they especially loved working with Baby G. I can definitely say they are experienced with handling little kids with their energetic process of capturing memorable shots. Their photoshoot session starts as low as 350php. Great deal, right? The photos below are our high resolution digital files and we got ours sooner than we expected. :) The D'Towns are looking forward to our printed shots - will post them as soon as we get them!

Carrier Review: Soul Slings' Ring Sling - Double Layer Coal Chambray

Type of Carrier: Soul Slings’ Ring Sling Carrier details: Coal Chambray Double Layer (reversible); 100% linen; 28 inches wide and 83 Inches long Wrappee: BabyG (boy)– 10 months – 10kgs/22 lbs Wrapper: small – chubby build Overview : I was very excited to try this when it first arrived. Aside from the fact that it’ll be my first ring sling to try, it is also from India. I just have to say that it arrived really fast via DHL; it just took less than 5 days. This ‘soul’ number is straight from the mystical land of India where it holds a pocketful of sleepy dust and cushion. A quick look at how it started: co-owner Chinmayie is a mother of two lovely children and discovered a need for better options than the standard bulky, padded carriers. Ring Slings were not available in India and she had to order from the US so, one day, she decided to take the reigns of design and business that’s when the Soul Slings was born. Design – Double layer...

Carrier Review: Baby SaBye Mei Tai

Type of Carrier: Baby SaBye Mei Tai Carrier details: Mei Tai - reversible blue and red; standard size; handwoven 100% natural cotton; vegetable dye The back is 14.5 inches (at waist) and 16 inches (at shoulder) wide; 17 inches tall without waist strap. Each shoulder strap is 9.5 to 10.5 inches wide, and 87 inches long. Waist strap is 3 inches wide and 69 inches long. Wrappee: BabyG (boy)– 10 months – 10kgs/22 lbs Wrapper: small – chubby build –US size 10 First glance – Baby Sabye Mei Tai looked thick and a bit rough. This is my first time to try a mei tai and I had some reservations with the straps, the size where Baby G will “sit on” and if it can withstand Baby G’s weight on the get-go. When I tried tying the waist belt, it was crunchy and I made an effort to tighten the knot to secure it. The straps were thinner than the waist belt which was floppy and flexible. When I wore Baby G, it was an instant hit with us! ...
