SM Baby Company

When I was pregnant, I fell in love with MotherCare. This store was like my new Forever 21! Now that I have finally given birth, I discovered a new store that offers a variety of baby items and baby brands.

Meet my new love ----- Baby Company. It was my newest haven and since I am still at home taking care of Zeke, I'm excited to visit their store at SM North during the last week of September.

NURSERY CARE CORPORATION COMPANY PROFILE

BTW, my husband and I have decided to do Zeke's christening on October 16th. We'll go for the Max's Restaurant package but still unsure what menu to get. I'm so excited that I totally forgot it's my birthday today.

I've just realized something. When you're finally a parent, the things that you usually do don't matter now. It's now about your little one. Of course you still have to look after yourself (which is why I'll still post a fashion entry next time).
