Super Mommy Jem welcomes you!
Welcome
Being a mother is the most challenging task in the world and the most high paying job that money can’t pay. It takes a thousand words to describe what a mommy can give to a child and do for her family. I have created this website for everyone especially moms so they can relate, learn and enjoy being a mommy based from my real experiences. I also included some articles that will keep us updated in our lives. This is my share for a wonderful blessing as a Super Mommy.
The most informative article post that I have created are about “Budget Wedding“, “Pregnancy”, “Baby Care“, “Feng Shui Tips before you buy a house and Lot“, “Work at home online especially for moms“, Kid’s Birthday Party at Mc Donalds and a lot more.

Healthy weight gain strategies for kids
My husband and I have been trying different ways to help our little boy in gaining weight. Although my mother-in-law has been saying that my husband’s built when he was my son’s age is the same, I am worried about his health and weight. I do not want to divulge my little boy’s weight. What I can describe is that his weight is not good at his age. Every time we visited his pediatrician, I would always tell her about it and she suggest several ways for a healthy weight gain. Pediasure is the milk of my son.Kids have really different moods and development.
Filipino boy for weight gain
My son loves to eat any fruits and vegetables but he eats less rice. I have noticed that he loves to eat super delicious tasting foods like the foods served at food chain or restaurants. Sometimes I found myself always buying at food chains or ordering food deliveries just to let him eat enough food. This is unhealthy that is why I also tried to prepare something special at home but still he eats less. Because of the poor eating habits, I am now monitoring my child’s attitude in eating and the foods to prepare for kids with small appetite.
I know that it is not that easy but as a dedicated mom, I will always do my best to achieve what is right for him. This post will marked my devotion for the ways or alternatives to help my child in gaining weight the healthy way.
Healthy weight gain strategies for kids
- Increase your child’s calorie intake above what he burns daily. A 500-calorie increase per day should result in a 1-lb. per week gain.
- Prepare quality foods that have a high number of calories per serving at every meal or snack like peanut butter, eggs, cheese, nuts, full-fat dairy and bean dips. Offer high nutrition but more calories per servings like white or sweet potatoes, corn, peas, raisins, dates and dried apricots instead of broccoli and carrots.
- Allow your child to eat in small portions often and take in calories when her appetite allows. Eating six to eight small meals of high-calorie foods is an effective way to get her all the calories she needs for weight gain. A good alternative if your child do not want to eat is to offer full-fat milk mixed with dry milk powder or 100 percent juice between meals to add calories.
- Help Stimulate your child’s apetite by moderate physical activity.
- Add whole milk, instant breakfast drink powder, bananas, flax seed oil and nut butter to smoothies
- Offer peanut butter with all-fruit spread on whole wheat toast as a sweet high-calorie snack
- Add cheese to scrambled eggs or noodles
- Give a nutritious dessert such as ice cream, pudding or flavored full-fat yogurt.
- When going out, bring a pack of Cheese sticks, buttered popcorn and granola bars which are high-calorie snack.

Choosing quality mattresses like latex mattress or memory foam mattress for better stress-free sleep
Bedroom is special place at home that I love to stay in times of sleeping and relaxation. It is a place where I can find privacy and peace of mind. Whether sleeping or napping, a comfortable and durable mattress is important to provide ease of support and relaxation. This year my family is planning to move to our new home. In our home improvement aside from the home architectural design, I also listed the things that we need to buy or replace. The first part of the house construction is our top priority followed by the other list. In the list I consider replacing our old mattress to a new one. Sometimes my husband and I go on window shopping. We usually go to home and furniture section where we canvass and see the newest home products and furniture. The sales man told us that when it comes to mattresses, latex mattress is saleable and recommended. We asked him why and he told us that latex mattress is durable, with anti-dust mite treatment that resists dust mites and prevents growth of bacteria and is made up of excellent eco-friendly materials.

Currently we use queen-sized regular uratex foam. The foam is almost four years old that was given as a gift in our wedding by my sister. When we are done with our top priority this year, I would love to buy premium quality mattress like latex mattress or memory foam mattress. Usually we see this premium quality mattress at fine hotels. It gives superior support and comfort. The best feature that I like in quality mattresses is that it has anti-dust mite for health and protection.

For a luxurious softer feel, memory foam mattress is an excellent mattress to choose. The memory foam mattress has breakthrough design that will cradle you with softness and will surely carry away the stress in your body. If you want extra comfort, there are pillow accessories for latex mattress and memory foam mattress.

What is PPD skin test in children?
In my post about Pneumonitis cause, symptoms and treatment in children, I have mentioned that I will take my little boy to have a PPD skin test or mantoux test because he is thin, been sick lately for consecutive days and weight is not good at his age. PPD (purified protein derivative) skin test is a method used to diagnose tuberculosis (TB) or primary complex. The photo below is the actual forearm of my little boy where PPD extract was injected. I just marked a red circle at the area.

Relaxing and luxurious at the country club
One of the luxurious and relaxing places here in the Philippines is the Tagaytay Highlands. I have been there a few years ago when we drop by at the People’s park in the sky during our honeymoon at Tagaytay country hotel. My aunt is a member of Tagaytay highlands country club. When you are a member, there are many great privileges that you can enjoy. As a member of the country club, you can take advantage of the excellent features and amenities like the residential communities, golf, meetings and banquets, recreational activities and perfect venue for weddings. What I love most is the relaxing ambiance of the residential communities and the special treatment as a member that offers premium residences that seamlessly fuse together leisure and luxury.

The photo above is my aunt who was invited by my other aunt (Country club member) taken at the Pinecrest village at the highlands. The residential communities are complex condominium, cozy countryside community with an Alpine village atmosphere. Inside the condominium is designed as modern kitchens with European style cabinets, counters and fixtures. There are fireplaces in every living room and master’s bedroom that I only usually see in movies. The luxury bathroom suites with Jacuzzi for two can be a very romantic relaxation of couple. If you wanted to play golf, right beside is Tagaytay highlands golf course. This is truly luxurious, relaxing and it would be more exciting if it has a nearby beach just like in the Palm Beach Golf Communities. These are great places to enjoy the majesty of nature.
I am participating in a blogger campaign by Bucks2Blog for Florida Country Clubs and was compensated. However, the views and opinions are my own.

Pneumonitis causes, symptoms and treatment in children
A few weeks ago my little boy was sick with Pneumonitis that was an impression on his chest X-ray results. I was really worried about it and the first thing that came into my mind is Pneumonia which is said to be at high risk in babies, small children and older adults. What is the difference of Pnemonitis and Pnemonia? I try to do a research and I have found out that Pneumonitis is a general term defined as an inflammation of the lung tissue whereas Pnemonia is technically a type of pneumonitis because the infection causes inflammation. When they use the term “pneumonitis“, most doctors are referring to other causes of lung inflammation. Let me share what I have learned from my research.
Factors that can cause Pneumonitis
- Exposure to airborne irritants
- Inhaled chemicals
- Allergies
Symptoms of Pneumonitis
- Cough
- Fever
- Malaise
- Dysponoea
- Fatigue
- Aches
Home Treatment
- Keep the surroundings at home clean.
- Avoid exposure to airborne irritants such as pollution, pollen, mold, dust and chemical fumes.
- Clean the Aircon filters regularly.
- Do not give cold and oily foods
- Drink warm water to relieve coughing spasms.
- Place a vaporizer or nebulizer in the bedroom at night.
- Use an air disinfectant that kills viruses.
The pediatrician prescribed medicine for my little boy to treat the Pneumonitis. She prescribed Klaz Clarithromycin to be taken three times a day. It may be taken with or without food. My little boy loves the strawberry flavor and works well on him. It is important to always consult your doctor or pediatrician before giving medicine to your child. Thanks to Dra. Rowena David for always being helpful to my child’s health condition.
After eight days, my son is not coughing anymore and he feels better but I continued to finish his medicine intake up to 10 days. Currently my little boy is actively playing but he has colds without cough anymore. I think it is allergies to the changing weather condition. Because my little boy is thin and weight is not good at his age, we decided to take him for a PPD skin test to make sure that he is not sick with primary complex.
I will share the result and experience in my next post…..

It’s a love month. Most of us are approaching the Valentine’s day and consider this as a romantic month to express how we love our special someone. Offering flowers and sweet confectioneries are the traditional way to celebrate the Valentine’s day. Dating to romantic place is big hit for lovers.It feels so good when you are loved and cared by your special someone. The most exciting feeling in this love month is the Valentine’s treat that he can offer. Even if I am now more than four years married to my loving husband, I am still looking forward in the Valentines’ day celebration. I would like to share simple valentine’s date activities plan or suggestions that lover can bring about in this sweet loving day or month.
Valentine's date Filipino couple
Valentine’s date activities plan/ suggestions
- Dinner at a romantic restaurant – This is the casual Valentine’s date scene. A romantic restaurant will let the couple enjoys their togetherness while eating sumptuous dinner. There are many ways to choose for a great romantic restaurant for the couple. For new couples, it is best to choose a place where you can both enjoy. For example, if you love live bands, you can go to a place with live bands likePadi’s Point restaurant bar. If you want serenity and loves music then you can take a romantic dinner at a restaurant or hotel with piano playing.
- Movie date – The typical Valentine’s date mostly for young couples watching romantic movies. Romantic comedy movies are also good to watch because sometimes male partners get easily bored to purely romantic movie scenes.
- Relaxing Body Spa – It’s also a great time to spend Valentines date into a relaxing spa. Full body massage for the couples will surely make them in good mood after the pampering spa.
- Overnight stay at the hotel – I think overnight stay at the hotel is good for married couples. Usually married couples especially with kids are having hard time in spending intimate togetherness overnight when kids are always around and busy with regular times at home.
- Out of town trip with the whole family – Family bonding can be a good activity too. It’s always fun to have out of town trip with the whole family. A great place to go on trip is a new location that your family have not yet gone.
- Friends bonding - This is great for individuals who doesn’t have the special someone yet. Aside from friends bonding, you can celebrate Valentines with your family too.
Married, in a relationship or still available, Valentine’s day is a celebration for everybody to share and express our love. They say that some couples spend a lot in this celebration. If you can spend much why not but what is important is that you were able to reach and share a gift of love. For me the most gift of love that my husband can give is to spend a high quality time together without worrying the time schedule and stress from the regular life encounters.
