Working Mom's Daily Routine During Quarantine

Hey! This is your Provident Mom, once again, and for this blog, I am going to share my daily routine as a working mom during this time of quarantine. FYI, I am a teacher by profession and ever since the community quarantine in our city was declared 2 weeks ago, I've been staying at home. But if you think that I'm lucky to be able to stay at home and do nothing, you gotta be thinking twice because before the declaration, I was able to go to the school and brought home with me some paperwork that I can do remotely at home. So, for the past 2 weeks, I spent some hours finishing and completing some of the documents and requirements that are needed from us. 

Another thing is that I am hyperactive. I cannot go through a day without doing anything. I am used to being productive all the time. I easily get bored. Being at home 24/7 is something that is very rare to me, so I'm adjusting. So, to make sure that I don't get bored, I made a daily schedule that would keep me busy even when I am at home. For those who are a busy bee like me, you can also follow this schedule:

5:00 or 6:00 am - Wake up, drink coffee, check the phone. 
I am an early riser, so my day is longer than most people. That is why I need to make sure that I am able to do something that would make the time go faster.

6:00 - 8:00 am - Prepare breakfast, eat, clean/ disinfect the house.
Because of #Covid19, it is necessary nowadays to disinfect everything so it will take time. 

8:00 -10:00 am - Time for Work
I am very productive in the morning so I make sure that I do some paperwork.

10:00- 12:00 am - Bath time and Laundry
This is the time when it becomes humid/hot so this is the best time to take a bath and do some laundry. Being in quarantine, this is the only time when I get to take a bath for a long period because I am not in a hurry. Doing the laundry every day also kills time.

12:00 - 1:00 pm - Eat lunch.

1:00 - 3:00 pm - FREE TIME.
These are my most unproductive hours so I spend it by playing some games on my phone, watch youtube videos, movies, or korean dramas.

3:00 pm - Activity with daughter. 
It's usually reading time.

4:00 pm - Exercise.
Either this is the time for Zumba or a time for binging on Korean drama.

5:30 pm - Prepare for dinner then eat.

7:00 pm - Prepare for sleep.
Taking a half-bath, preparing the bed for sleeping, story time with daughter. 

8:00 pm -  Go to sleep.

***I also chat with my OFW husband in the morning and in the evening. I do that in the middle of everything. hehehehe.

How about you? What's your Quarantine Daily Routine?

FICCO Healthcare Program: Most Affordable HMO in the Philippines

As a mother and homemaker, my top priority is always my daughter. That is the reason why I am very much into investments and insurances. I want to protect her, her home, and her future. There are so many what-ifs in life and these double once we get married and have children. Just like any other aspect of our lives, our family life is not always high. Sometimes we experience challenges and problems and most often than not, we are not prepared for it.  But there are certain things that we can actually prepare for. One of which is something to do with our health. These days, the food that we eat and the environment that we are in can give us sickness. And when it comes to health problems, it can drain our finances and we can even go into debts just to pay for the cost of medicines, check-ups, and (knock on wood) hospitalizations. Getting an HMO these days is no longer a luxury. It is a necessity, especially for average-income generating families like ours who could not afford the...

Why and How to Start Investing in PAG-IBIG MP2 Savings Program?

It's been a while since I wanted to invest in PAG-IBIG MP2 , a voluntary savings program with a 5-year term for all PAG-IBIG Fund members which earns dividends. You can get your dividends either annually or after the term (5-year). The higher you save, the more dividend you will get.   From the year 2016 to 2018 the average  MP2 dividend  rate in the past three years (2016-2018) is at 7.65%. It's not that bad compared to a regular savings program in banks. I finally got the chance to "enroll" myself. It is easier nowadays because you can start your application online. If you are interested, follow the instructions below on how you can also start investing PAG-IBIG's MP2. 1.  Go to pagibigfundservices.com and you will be asked to provide your PAG-IBIG MID No, Last name, First name, and Date of Birth. 2   2.  You will be directed to a new page where you can view your PAG-IBIG profile. On the right side of the screen, the firs...

I was scammed!

I am not really an avid fan of online shopping but there were times I bought stuff online just because they were so cheap as compared to ones that were sold in the malls. I am also very meticulous in buying things online. I would compare prices, read comments and reviews, and even check the background or reliability of the sellers and the products. So, I never really thought I’d be a victim of my own doing. Just recently, I came across a Facebook ad that was so deceiving that I ended up buying the item only to regret it later on. Instaclean Facebook ad So, there was this Facebook ad from Instaclean that just popped out in my newsfeed out of nowhere. It was an ad for a cleaning product, a foam cleaner that would supposedly instantly remove dirt and make things new simply by spraying and a little scrubbing. I was actually looking for a product like that for my car chairs and living room sofas, so the product really enticed me. Just like many people, I viewed the video and I f...
