Math Night at School | Halloween Treat

My family and I went to my daughter's school for Math Night Halloween Treat.
 Kids were encourage to wear costume, and daughter decided to be a cowgirl witch...lol!
I thought the event went great. A lot of parents were there and majority of the kids wore costume. Kids enjoyed going around, stopping at different tables and were challenged to answer some Math questions. In return, they'll get a candy if they get the correct answer.

Packing for a trip is never fun for some people. I, on the other hand, get excited to pack even just for overnight trips. My husband thought that packing is one of my best skills and thought that I'm really good at it. I don't know about you but I really do enjoy packing.

Over many many flights and trips my family have taken for the last 10 years, I feel like I have mastered the art of packing. One painless method to have an incredibly well-organized and efficiently-packed suitcase is rolling your clothes with packing cubes. I've found that packing cubes save a bunch of space, prevents wrinkles, and a lot less stressful.

Available in multiple colors: gray, green, purple, pink, red, dark blue, light blue, yellow and orange

I like to use packing cubes because it makes it easy to know exactly where to find whatever it is I am looking for. When shopping for packing cubes, always look for carry handles and double zippers like the one that I received from Dot&Dot.

Preschool & Kindergarten Learning Kids Games, Educational Books, Free Songs | #KidsAcademy #FreeApp

Mobile devices such as a smartphone or an iPad are now being widely used in schools as tools that can provide students with a more interactive way of learning. Parents who would like to give their children the head start that they need before they begin formal education turn to these mobile devices by installing useful educational apps such as ABC alphabet phonics.

With this cute Bingo ABCs alphabet phonics song with farm animals cards for toddler free app, kids can sing and record while singing in a Karaoke session, play mini games with farm animals cards, make up and record their own stories. It' has cool interactions, a catchy tune, and it's very entertaining.

The second app that I would like to recommend is the Preschool and Kindergarten learning kids games free for toddler. The app goes beyond simply great graphics and beautiful music by engaging children to learn preschool basics through intriguing game play. Toddlers will start with easy tracing by collecting fireflies in a jar and will move gradually to tracing requiring more developed fine-motor skills. Kids will learn different skills such as reading and drawing numbers and letters in a more enjoyable manner. Whenever they finish a different level, they earn rewards which can encourage them to do their best every time they use the app.

The app turns the learning process into what kids love the most - a game!

For the Love of Drawing

Nowadays, children are more into video games and playing with other gizmo instead of getting creative and play outdoors games. My husband and I always encourage our daughter to be creative. Her favorite past time now is drawing. We also let her play outside too. And yes, she's a techie and loves to play on my iPad.
There are some appropriate and educational apps out there for our kids. But as parents, we should remember that our children’s skills and abilities will be their most valuable asset throughout their lives. Everything is not about video games.

Daughter's First Bank Account

 Our 8-year old got her first bank account! Hubby and I opened a savings account for her at USAA right after we came home from our trip to the Philippines. Thanks to my family in the Philippines for giving her some money. She received over P5,000.
As a parent, it is important for our child to learn the value of a dollar, their first bank account is a good place to start. Teaching them financial responsibility is one of the greatest gifts we can give to them.

BBQ Grill Scouring Scrub Brush Scraper

Nothing beats a good barbecue grilled in your own backyard. In Texas, most people here barbecue almost every day especially during the summer. Texans grill pretty much the whole year! Grilling and cooking outside is fun, but cleaning barbecue grills is probably one of the least fun tasks that can be done.
Good thing I found a durable BBQ Grill Scouring Scrub Brush Scraper from Ramini Brands. This barbecue brush and scraper combo helps maintain the life of outdoor grills. It has this long handle that is perfect length to keep your hand away from the heat without losing pressure and control. Facilitates getting into hard to reach places. I like the coarse metal bristles. It removes cooked on grime and grit while the full metal scraping edge flicks those tough-to-get-rid-of chunks of cheese off the grill. It has this hanging hole for simple and convenient storage.

I definitely love this brush it's great for the grill! It made my cleaning the grill so much more easier. I like the fact that it's made of durable material. Plus, the handle is long enough and the bristles are sturdy. I would highly recommend this product to everyone.

USAA Family Day 2014

Every year USAA treat their IT employees and their families to Six Flags. So basically my family and I go to Six Flags for FREE at least twice a year. I say twice a year because they giveaway complimentary return tickets to everybody. How awesome right? Thanks USAA!
Aside from complimentary tickets to go to the park, we also get to devour an all you can eat lunch and bottomless drinks for everyone. Even though the weather was not good during that day, we still had a great time.
We got to enjoy the whole park by ourselves because they closed it to public.
