Scholastic Warehouse Sale 2017 Book Buffet

I always look forward to book sales, specially Scholastic Warehouse Sale. It’s very near where I live eh. And you know, anything by Scholastic is worth reading. Another exciting about Scholastic Warehouse Sale is their Book Buffet. Imagine, box all you can books for only 799 Pesos! Last December, I got 26 books in a box. This year, I was able to book more!!

Of all the titles I boxed, the most awesome is the almost complete set of The 39 Clues series 1 and Cahills vs Vespers series. There’s only 1 book from each series that was not on the book buffet. Pero madali na lang hanapin yun ano. This is the most awesome because a book is 400+ Pesos. For only 799 Pesos, I got 15 books plus the Agent Handbook. From The 39 Clues books alone, I saved more than 5000 Pesos. Sulit na sulot!

Aside from the books in the book buffet, there are great titles that are also on sale. My third son bought a Geronimo Stiltton Adventure’s Set for 10% off.

Supposedly, I am going to shop while my kids attend the reading workshop, kaso andun din si Morena Mom! Chika to the max na muna syempre while our kids are busy with the reading workshop.

Scholastic Reading Workshop is still ongoing, check the poster below for the schedule:

I am hoping I could go back again before school year starts. Scholastic Warehouse Sale is until June 18, 2017 and is open everyday.

And hopefully makapag book buffet ulit ako!

Start and End Your Summer With Swimways

We are a family who loves swimming! In fact, my eldest has enjoyed his summer swimming lesson and even asked for an extension. Fortunately, we have it at our subdivision’s clubhouse, 4 of my kids and one nephew joined the class. The clubhouse’s pool is also open for rental, so we take advantage of the opportunity since the heat of the summer is tearing us!

It is our first time to try Swimways Spring Float, and it was a blast! Everyone in the family loves it, and I realized that one is not enough! I hurriedly run when I heard someone screaming in the pool, I thought it was something serious, and then the kids are just arguing who will go next for this float. I also find it a summer must-have for the whole family! I was so surprised when we used it, we all find it very relaxing and some of us almost asleep!

It is very convenient to carry since it is foldable, portable, and light-weighted. It also comes with a bag that is easy to bring along. The easiest part is to inflate and deflate as Swimways Spring Float comes with Jet Valves. Even my eldest son easily figured it out, and according to him, it is a great swimming gear! It is available at Kids Company, so hurry doesn’t let summer end up without this incredible floater!

Fun Ranch Big Ball Pit Party

May is a happy month. It’s my husband’s birthday and also my 3rd son’s birthday. We usually have a celebration by the beach. This year is different though, husband is out of the country until June (juice colored!!). I am looking for an activity that my kids will enjoy and in a way relieve them from the stress of LDR. They adore their dad, super love their dad. And the birthday boy worships his dad. He is so sad that his dad won’t be here on his birthday.

Good thing, Fun Ranch is so near! And they just added another kind of fun! Say hello to Fun Ranch Ball Pit:

So yeah, my May boy celebrant had his 9th birthday party here, complete with food, fun activities and well, a little side trip to the grocery.

Fun Ranch Big Ball Pit is inside the Playdium at Fun Ranch Ortigas. It’s a pit full of balls! 10,000 colorful balls to be exact and more than 10,000 fun. Entrance to Fun Ranch Big Ball Pit is 150 Pesos per hour if it is weekdays and 200 pesos per hour if it is weekend. It’s cheaper if your kids are going to play at Playdium. Unlimited play at the Playdium with one hour Ball Pit is only 400 and 500 on weekends.

What I love most about Fun Ranch is the food (sorry naman!). Lalo na their fried chicken..ang saraaaaap! And the spaghetti too! Here are the food that we had:

That Pork BBQ is super delicious, sauce pa lang ulam na!!

Aside from Playdium and Big Ball Pit, kids can also enjoy unli rides and JumpYard at Fun Ranch. For more info and ticket prices, check out Fun Ranch Facebook Page. For birthday party packages rate and promos, Fun Ranch branches and other offers, check out Fun Ranch website page.
