What my kids are like, and how to raise your child/children in this day and age.

Cake From Goldilocks (And Me)

At the event yesterday (Nuffnang’s awarding of You’re the 1 Golidlocks Promo) held at Topshelf, Fully Book one of the activities was to decorate your own cake. Again, my deconstruction philosophy won. Look at how serious I am, messing the simple Mocha cake from Goldilocks.

And this was my finished product.. not appealing but I hope the kids will like it… after all, it’s a cake.

Me and my driver (hubby) got home around 10 or 11, had to drop my friend Mahros (who accompanied me at the event) at Robinson’s Gale after the event. The kids were sleeping already so I just doze off beside Chico. Morning and it was filled with aww and wow.. They love my cake!!!!

er, not the cake bu the fish.. good thing I chose that decors over the farm and the animals.. yipee! I can be a cake decorator!

Motherly Instinct

We were browsing some old photo for my sister’s wedding on August 22 and saw this one.. Obviously at a very young age, I already have this thing they called motherly instinct. And it is not a surprise that at a very young age, I am already a mom of four.. LOL

The baby I was holding is my youngest brother…and here he is now (not now but here is the most recent I have.. taken last 2008)

Reviewing DS Lite Way

As I have said in my previous entry, nest week will be exam week for my kids. I don’t want this to be a traumatic experience to them so I am devising pans on how to make their review light and with lots of fun.

Ahead of them, I already studied their subjects and the topics that would be in the exam. From time to time and in between play, tickles and DS lite playing, I would ask them questions. I use their everyday toys and that includes DS lite. Who would have thought that DS lite can be a good tool for reviewing the kids. Like for example, in Language subject where they tackle polite expressions, I asked what will they say to mommy since mommy gave them DS lite? Answer comes naturally. I also incorporate Math in their playtime, like greater than and less than.

As much as possible I try to avoid the usual way of reviewing the kids. A long hours of sitting with so many books in front is not fun. Although I must admit that there are some courses that really needs this kind of reviewing, but of course I try to limit it.

When dealing with them you really have to be creative and is oozing with (not sex appeal) FUN.. That’s the only language kids understand, FUN and FUN.

more review methods coming up…
