#RILEYunboxes | ANGRY BIRDS HAPPY MEAL!

I hope you don't mind another post about McDonald's, one of RL's happy places. But the little boy has been bugging me to upload his unboxing video already. So here it is.

McDonald's launches its newest Happy Meal - ANGRY BIRDS! RL was all too thrilled, as he loves this game app. My dad loves it, too, so he was as excited as the little boy (and wanted to buy a whole set so they could play).

Excited for his Angry Birds Happy Meal!

McDonald's treated us out to catch a private showing of the new Angry Birds Movie two Saturdays ago. We loved it, and the kids can't wait to get it on video. Thank you, McDonald's!

RL and Red.

RL decided he wanted his friends and neighbors, Carlo and Alex, to join his unboxing video. I wasn't around to supervise the shoot, so A took over. But it started to rain that afternoon so she had to cut the shoot short. The rest of the shoot (part where RL features the different toys and what they do) was done in the office the next day using a different camera. The kids did pretty well, given the circumstances. Please do give them a thumbs up to encourage them!

Catch the Angry Birds Happy Meal toys at McDonald's and bring the Angry Birds game to life!

#RILEYunboxes | THE NEW KUNG FU PANDA HAPPY MEAL!

Two Saturdays ago, we were invited to catch the premiere of the latest installment to the Kung Fu Panda movie series - KUNG FU PANDA 3! The kids were excited to go but we had a previous appointment at PAWS for Louis, our black siamese-persian mix. So we decided to catch the movie on another day, and settled to catch the NEW! McDonald's Happy Meal featuring some of the characters from Kung Fu Panda 3 instead!

Yes, folks, the NEW! McDonald's Happy Meal features Po and his warrior friends (and foe). My little boy, RL, unboxes the new set in his latest YouTube video.

The Philippines is lucky, because we get to collect 8 toys from this series (other Asian countries have only 6). What's more is that the Philippine Happy Meal just got a new upgrade! We now get the option to have a yummy corn cup as a replacement side (to the McDonald's French Fries option) to any Happy Meal! I have been waiting for this! And I am hoping it is here to stay...

The new corn option goes perfectly with any Happy Meal offering. I am thrilled that McDonald's has something healthier to offer our kids! They have this side option in other countries, so yay! It's about time we follow suit.

Now if only they would start offering fresh milk...

Catch all 8 Kung Fu Panda Happy Meal toys at McDonald's! Both offers are available at all McDonald’s restaurants nationwide through the front counter, Drive-Thru, or McDelivery by dialing 8-MCDO, visiting www.mcdelivery.com.ph, or by ordering through the McDo PH App.

You can also catch Po as he visits selected McDonald's stores around the metro! Check his visit schedule here.

You and your family can also join Easter Awesomeness at the McDonald's Kung Fu Panda 3 Family Fun Day! Registration is ongoing 'til March 23! Click here for details.

#RILEYunboxes | MAMON-IT-YOURSELF WITH MONDE!

Two weeks ago, Monde launched their second Mamon-It-Yourself six-pack, this time with the Kung Fu Panda theme. The BentoMommas are quick to sniff out anything bento-related. BentoMomma Monet first spied the packs when she went grocery shopping right before anyone announced it on social media. Cool beans!

RL loves Mamon, so we quickly went searching for this. We didn't get to take a video of the previous Minion ones, because A would scarf the stuff down. This time, we made sure to film an unboxing video before his big sister got her hands on everything (although she did manage to eat a whole pack, good thing we bought two! Yes, she is a growing teenager with a huge appetite, LOL!). We filmed this at 11PM, hence the PJs. Excuse the cat meowing in the background. Louis has been very DQ lately. He is getting neutered next weekend. Hehehe.

Get a pack of Monde Mamon from leading supermarkets and Mamon-It-Yourself! The Kung Fu Panda theme is extra special for us because A especially loves pandas! So RL made sure we got these more for his big sister than for himself. I know, he's a thoughtful little boy. I love these kids!

Hurry and Mamon-It-Yourself while they're out!

#AlexaAndRiley | RL's First Egg Surprise Video!

We've been thinking this through for the past year - contemplating on whether we should create a new YouTube channel for the kids, or just maintain one (and keep our sanity). Because among the three of us at home, we already have too many social media accounts. So the kids and I decided to just maintain one YouTube channel (given that I still have that inactive nappycakes account on it as well) because they all get featured on the blog anyway. So yes, all videos will be under this account (for now, until they are old enough to manage their own channels). I was able to edit the channel name to include this blog. Will figure out more as I read up on YouTube. 

So RL has been bugging me to record this Egg Surprise video. If you have a child under 8, then you should know how popular these videos are. My little boy has a list of must-watch YouTubers, and he has them all saved up on his app.

Anyway, I purchased the Inside Out Eggs from a supermarket in Sydney - not sure now if it was Coles or Woolies, but yes, one of 'em. Only got two because I wasn't so sure it would survive my too-full luggage. Teehee. We were set to film this video back in July, but RL got Chicken Pox. So we had to wait out some healing. You can still see two marks on his forehead. Thankfully, the only two marks on his face.

So excuse the amateur editing - you can see my finger on the lens somewhere along the way because RL moved away from view. Enjoy! Oh and yes, thumbs up on YouTube for more, please! And do subscribe. Thanks!

 

No real eggs were harmed while filming this video.
