While Puerto Princesa has many virtues,
shopping options on the island are rather limited. I know a lot of you would
argue that this lack of retail establishments is a virtue, and generally I
would agree. I miss a lot of things about NYC but I don’t miss how
consumer-driven it is. However, I do still very much enjoy the occasional
shopping trip, and I like getting cute stuff for my boy. So I was super happy a
few months ago when my friend Niña introduced me to the fabulous online store
Mothering Earthlings. I loved the cute things available on the site and enjoy
reading the owner, Rone Guerrero’s blog about her adventures with her
“earthlings”.
In anticipation of our upcoming vacation in
Cape Town, South Africa, I just ordered Luke a pair of shoes (he generally goes
barefoot here but CT will be much cooler than Palawan) as well as a travel
pillow for the long plane rides. I was excited to find the package waiting for
me when I got home from running errands today. And happily, Luke has also
enjoyed this shopping experience. He’s been playing with the box and paper
packaging his new shoes came in for the last 45 minutes. I know there’s a
Mastercard Priceless ad in here but I want to get this blog uploaded before
Luke looses interest.
Anyway, the next time you need great kids
stuff, check out Mothering Earthlings. They deliver internationally, too.
