June 15th, 2011I SPY

If there’s one book seriesfor the kids that I love to collect, it would be the I SPY books. They are totally educational and fun. It just too bad that the local bookstore doesn’t usually have stocks of these books.

The first I SPY books (see picture below) I purchased were ordered online.

Let’s flip the pages to see why I love them. See?

Nice huh? Very very nice I think and attractive to the kids too. Great to enhance the kids’ visual discrimination. Actually, the books come by stages. So for pre-schoolers, they have titles that are suitable for the age group. There are also titles for kids who are starting to read and then those who can already read.

June 10th, 2011Some years ago

Sixty-plus-plus years ago, a couple of birth announcements happened. It’s for my mother and my father. As I understand, unlike  these days, there were no baby showers or big parties for something like this then. But I’m sure there’s a celebration of sort then, though the way of celebration may not the same.

Anyway, speaking of celebration, there’s a lot of that this month. There’s just many reasons why we need to celebrate - in our small little ways.
