The Curious Mom

Falling pregnant is incredibly exciting, and the chances are that you were over the moon when you first saw those two red lines. Since then, though, you've started to feel a lot less positive about your pregnancy journey. Reasons for this can vary from nausea that lasts all day to mood swings and even susceptibility to pre-pregnancy antenatal depression. 1 in 10 pregnant women also experience severe anxiety at some stage.

A certain degree of anxiety seems inevitable considering that you're facing the largest life change possible. The sheer idea of coping with a baby can get on top of you, as can the stress of increased medical appointments and a need to find a health insurance quote that isn't going to bankrupt you before baby's born. When you think of it that way, it's astounding the anxiety figures remain as low as they are!

Sometimes, though, changing hormones pair with these pressures to create an altogether more worrying pregnancy anxiety. If you feel that you're falling foul at the moment, then don't hesitate to take the following crucial steps towards managing or even overcoming symptoms.

Choosing what degree to pursue can be one of the first important decisions anyone has to make. Ideally, you will be able to decide to pursue a degree in a field you feel compelled to excel in and that you can work on at a University or college of your choice. 

With 1.7 million students enrolled for the 2018 school year, Canadian Universities are emphasizing preparing these students for careers that are just beginning to open up. For many, this may even mean a need for additional education down the road. Based on the number of degrees awarded by Canadian Colleges and universities, the following four college degrees are the most popular, as well as an estimate of the job outlook for those with these degrees.

By far, Canadian college students are most likely to choose to pursue a degree in the humanities. In 2018 alone, there were over 200,000 more degrees in the humanities awarded than in any other major.

Of any region, schools in Ottawa reportedly have some of the best programs for those interested in this area and practical applications of this degree. Further, with a degree in the humanities, it's possible to secure a job in the public administration space- a career path with some of the best forward-looking opportunities. Still, before you start looking up the price of Ottawa real estate, you may want to consider the next few popular degrees. 

San Francisco gets all the glory from tourists, but Oakland doesn’t get enough of it. People who cross the Golden Gate Bridge into Oakland have already soaked up enough of the color and culture of San Francisco. But, they’ve only experienced a fraction of the surprises the East Bay Area has to offer.

If you and your family did go the other direction, then you’d see how Oakland is the better option. While San Fran appears big, Oakland is actually the biggest. Oakland boasts a population of over 400,000 people, and that’s not counting the 300,00 tourists who pass through. Not to mention the emerging tech industry. There are so many good places that would make Oakland a great destination for your next family trip. We’ve narrowed it down to the big four.

Lake Merritt

Established in 1870, Lake Merritt is the oldest nature preserve. The lake itself is a tidal lagoon fed by seawater, making it a perfect place for migrating Canadian geese, snowy egrets, and black cormorants. Merrit is encircled by a scenic 3.2 mile walking path and event areas. Young children will enjoy Children’s Fairyland amusement park. Fairyland has so many fun rides and one-of-a-kind puppet shows that Walt Disney himself used it as inspiration for Disneyland. Also, be on the look-out for the lake’s kaiju mascot, “Merritzilla.”

  

Last Wednesday, Dairy Goat (DG) Goat Milk Beverage for kids officially launched here in the Philippines and I am one of the mommies who got invited to the launching of this product held at Ronac Lifestyle Center, Makati (Thanks Ms.Anya and Ms. Millie). Pediatricians and some people from the New Zealand Embassy are also present at the said event, Mom and Meeeh . I got curious about the product so I went and learned many benefits of drinking DG. I tasted goat milk, used some goat soaps, and other few things but I am not familiar with the taste of its milk, anyway back to the topic.

Philippines’ first and only Premium Powdered Milk sourced from Goat’s Milk!

Introducing DG Goat Milk Beverage for Kids (for 3 years old and above), produced and imported from the Dairy Goat Co-operative in Hamilton, New Zealand, DG Goat Milk Beverage for Kids offers powdered goat milk of the highest quality and manufactured by Pacific Healthcare Philippines.

As a mom, I want to give the best to my children and before I gave them anything I make sure that the product is at its highest quality attending the launching of the DG Goat Milk made me think to replace their milk because I learned so many beneficial from Goat Milk's that my kids can get.

DG Goat Milk is made responsibly. The process of converting pure goat milk into a safe, exceptional powdered milk beverage is a gentle, and minimal one; minimal processing results in a product closer to its natural source! they choose only the healthiest Saanen goats from New Zealand to ensure having the milk of the highest quality. ( see Saanen info. here )

PROMOTES GOOD NUTRITION

Gently and Responsibly Made.

Like humans, Goats produce their milk through Apocrine Secretion, where milk fat and bioactive components in mammary secretory cells are enveloped by cell membranes as they are secreted. As a result, milk produced by goats has naturally occurring bioactive components.

EASY DIGESTION

For A Happy Tummy!

Casein in milk produces curds in our stomach. Compared to milk sourced from other animals, Goat Milk produces a very loose curd structure with a high proportion of water that is easily broken apart, thus facilitating easier digestion of milk proteins.

Fewer ALLERGENS

Boosts all-around Good Health!

β-Lactoglobulin is the whey protein that stimulates milk protein allergies. Compared with milk from other animals, Goat Milk has the lowest levels of β-Lactoglobulin; thus making it less allergenic for us! Dairy Goat is undoubtedly the premium goat milk brand perfect for your child.

For my early graders' boys, I am now switching their milk to DG to see my stories for their reaction when drinking the Dg for the first time.

 DG Goat Milk Beverage for kids is available at Mercury Drugstore nationwide, Lazada and Shopee for only Php1,299.00.
