Daddy Bry's Birthday Giveaway ( and our Blog Anniversary, too!)

Finally, May is here !!!

Our family has a lot to be thankful for this coming month, and since it's daddy Bry's birthday month, it is time for another giveaway, yipee!!!

Let me honor Bry by saying how much he has grown as a father to Ben for the past two years.  Between the two of us he is the more efficient diaper changer, has more patience and the stricter disciplinarian.  He has been a super dad while working 6 x a week, driving 1.5 hrs per trip to and from the office at Laguna.  Ben and I are lucky to have him in our lives.


One of Bry's latest superdad powers is getting Ben to sleep on his own - with that I mean, no feeding, no carrying, etc.  He (Ben) seems to sleep earlier and without any delaying tactics if it's just the two of them.  Right now, our current set up is Ben sleeps at the mattress by the floor.  He would lie down in the middle of mama and papa and lots and lots of pillows!!!!  (Then the first one of us who wakes up in the middle of the night first, gets to transfer in our big bed)

So that is the story behind our latest blog giveaway.  To celebrate Bry's birthday, we are raffling off two Jean Perry Ultra Soft Pillows to one lucky winner.  They are exclusive distributed here in the Philippines by my brother JP and his good friend Kelvin of Casa La Armonia, Inc.  Please do check out their products at Blims Fine Furniture (Alabang Home Depot, Makati Home Depot, Ortigas Home Depot and Greenbelt 2) and HK Hardware (Connecticut Greenhills and Shangril Mall) Stores




We have 4 of these pillows at home and I personally love them.  They're soft and fluffy and don't easily clump up.  As parents, sleep is such a luxury and anything that can help us is most welcome right? :)

So here are the mechanics of the giveaway :)

(1) As a comment under this blog entry, say " Happy Birthday , Daddy Bry! "  and tell us why you need a new pair of pillows.  Also state your full name and email address.  The name that you leave at the comment should be similar to the name you use at Facebook.

(2) Be a fan of Casa La Armonia at Facebook.  Check out the link here.

(3) And since I am also celebrating my blog's first anniversary this month, I will give plus points if you do anyone of the following: (a) suggest a topic for the blog along with your entry (b) follow my blog so you can be updated with the new entries.

* You must be willing to pick-up the pillows at the Casa La Armonia office in Mandaluyong to join this contest :)

You have until May 31 2012 to submit your entries.  Our birthday boy will pick out the winner and will be announced by second week of June.

Good Luck!

PS. I can't believe I've been blogging for a year now.  Thanks to everyone who have been dropping by.  It warms my heart when I get messages from friends and even complete strangers that they've been reading my posts.  Cheers!!!

why I adore our two year old Ben


1. can say please and thank you

2. counts 1-10 when he's on a good mood (skips 6 sometimes, though, hehe)

3. wipes his shoes on the floor mat before entering the house ( which I sometimes forget to do myself )

4. makes sure I get a kiss from Bry before he leaves for work every morning

5. calls older kids ahia and achi (big brother and big sister in chinese)

6. helps yaya pack-away his bath stuff

7. calls me from the intercom to come down for dinner

8. knows the difference between an ipad, ipod touch and an iphone

9. sings and dances with feelings, like no one is watching and eyes closed

10. says uh-oh when I lecture him (hope he gets the message, too)

happy birthday, darling! may God bless you more and more each day!
