This week is the last week before Christmas school break starts. But before my kiddo enjoy her vacation, Kelsea is looking forward to her school's Christmas Party and Christmas Musical Presentation. They are required to dress up like Hi-5 and perform in school on the 17th of December. Kelsea's closet doesn't have much yellow and green that's why I needed to buy a top, skirt and the colorful knee-high socks. This is what I came up with: I bought the plain green shirt in a bazaar in ... [ Read More ]

Calligraphy Workshop by Mandy Camilon
I love to write....literally! Yes, make me copy something from one paper to another and I won't complain. You can even let me fill up all sorts of forms (application forms, registration forms, etc).

An Aerospace Engineer for a Day at Engineering for Kids (Philippines)
When we were kids, we were always asked what we wanted to be when we grow up. And now that we are parents, we ask our children what they want to be when they grow up. My daughter is only 5 years old and when asked of her ambition, she would say she wants to be a doctor because of Doc McStuffins :) Well, that's what almost all kids want to be. But that changes as time passes by. Children slowly realize what their interests are as they experience different kinds of activities. Our ... [ Read More ]
