Surprise!

last January 20..

Sissy number 4 is here because I asked her to come over to help me with some of my online jobs. So together with her 4 year old boy, she trooped down to my house. Surprisingly, sissy number 3 (and soon to be a blogger ahaha) came here too (the reason: I’d rather not tell here) and she to have a son, same as Chico’s age. Just imagine my house in the days to come. 5 boys.. and one princess (Sati)..

On Tuesday, Sati will turn 7 months old.. so the boys will have some sorta of a pool party…

Boys And Cars

Cars and boys are almost synonymous. Or maybe in my household only. You know I have three boys and since the birth of my first born son, cars has been a part of my house. There are times that cars are the only decors in the house (well until now, only that it’s Mega Blocks Tiny and Tuff). Years back, the kids started collecting die cast cars. Their favorite brand was Hot Wheels. It so happens that while my younger sissy (who will be blogging soon) was working in Market Market, she discovered a toy store that gives out Hot Wheels for less than a dollar each (40 Php to be exact). So she bought a lot for my kids and from then on, the kids are hooked to buying die cast cars.

Now that they are older, they are more familiar with the type of cars they play. My first born even asked me about dodge charger accessories, which I am not quite familiar. I had to read some stuffs about car and learned that Dodge Charger is a type of car manufactured by Chrysler. There are actually different types of dodge. I also learned that having a Dodge is something, the owner exert a lot of effort in taking care of the vehicle. The reason why he asked was because he was considering on buying a Dodge. Yeah, at that age. Kids can be really fun to be with, always.

Let’s Talk About Ekomini

I know I am not good in terms of money handling and that is one thing that I wouldn’t want my kids to inherit. As much as possible I want them to learn the value of money and saving up. But it’s quite hard since they are not really aware of the monetary value of things. They know denominations like thousand, hundreds and tens. They know that thousand is greater than hundred, but teaching them to save up is another thing.

And if you are a mommy like me, we don’t have to worry anymore. There’s a new product in town that appeals like a toy but promises to educate our kids about money. It’s the newest piggy bank in town, Ekomini, but not just an ordinary piggy bank. It’s interactive! It is a money box that connects to a computer and with this, the kids can easily track their savings and even play online in Ekominiville.

This is an educational game that will teach the kids about savings, planning for purchases, investing and donating to charity and social causes. And the best thing about this product is that it has a parental interface that will help the parents be involved with their kid’s activity.
