A Spotty Safari

Who’s up for an adventure today? Well, good news! You’re in for one, and it happens to be adoooorable! We could all use a little mid-week excitement, and Tiny Sparks Lifestyle Portraiture brings the African savannah right to our door… and dessert table! And there are stampedes of adorable patterns to back them up! So slip on your khaki and jump in with us for Sachiel’s first birthday. He couldn’t have started off his birthday bashes better!

What we’re digging:

  • We are so into all these trailing animals. They’re above the dessert table and displays, on the bunting, and even up on the lights! They even make an appearance on the base of this gorgeous cake by Sugarplum Pastries!
  • Dianne Khu Designs did not skimp on anything that makes this party special! We’re treated with animals, adorable patterns and all the perfect colors. I’d want to stay at this party forever!
  • Who else is still awww-ing at all those little props like the binoculars and the suitcases? And I’m still not over that little hat!
  • Doesn’t Sachiel just steal the show in his safari tour outfit? What’s more, he looks just as happy and enchanted as he’s made us feel!

Fucidin: A Mom’s Best Friend

I’m eight months pregnant, and we’re so excited that we’re having another boy! (Hurray!) Matti is so thrilled that he’s going to be a big brother. Wow, I can just imagine the craziest times I’m gonna have with them. Matti is already four years old, and he is just full of life! He’s constantly running, jumping, and tumbling around.

And for moms, you all know that whether you have a girl or a boy, your kids are most likely to get a wound at one point or another. It totally breaks my heart when my child comes to me in tears after a fall. But thankfully, Matti has understood that when he gets a wound, we just need to take out the first aid kit so we can put something to help it heal faster.

Now, we stop worrying about his wound the moment we put Fucidin®. I just wanted to share this to my fellow mommies since this antibacterial ointment works wonders! And as a mom, any small victory is a VICTORY!

Here’s a few tips we can give on using this product:

For proper wound care, it’s important to stop the bleeding first before even cleaning it. Make sure your hands are clean and washed too before attending to your child’s wound.

After cleaning the wound, remember the acronym M.C.D.O. at all times. When wound looks a bit moist, use Fucidin cream. For dry wounds, use Fucidin ointment! Now, isn’t that a nifty acronym?

Make sure to apply only a thin layer of the ointment/cream. Just enough to keep the wound moist and protected from bacteria.

It’s also important to put adhesive or sterile bandages for bigger wounds after applying the product. Oh, and don’t forget to change the dressing daily or when it becomes a bit dirty!
