Little by little, I’ve been training my homeschoolers to help me with the housework. One of the things that I ask them to do is to clean up the homeschool room and their play area right after they play. As you can see, our kids loves to play. If I can allow them to play the whole day and night, they will really do it. But I think I find this better than them watching TV the whole day. And by the way, they only watch TV on Saturday and Sunday evenings. But sometimes I get irritated after they play, because it would seem a tornado has passed in that room.

Wow! I can’t believe that I just downloaded 10 ebooks from Scholastic for only 5$! Scholastic Teacher Express is once again having this 1$ Sale on all their downloadable materials. I remember that they had the same thing last year and I also got a 10$ free coupon. So, when I downloaded 10 ebooks, I didn’t have to pay anything. Yes, I had it for FREE!

My little girl is going to be 8 years old next week! Time really flies (I say this everytime on my kids’ birthdays) and I’m not getting any younger. Anyways, as for my daughter’s birthday, she won’t be having any parties (whew!) but we will be going to Kidzania. It’ll be a low cost birthday celebration since my kids have already saved up for Kidzania, so we just have to pay for my hubby’s ticket and mine. So now, I’m already thinking of what to give for my daughter as a birthday gift. I remember she always wanted to have leather wallets, so maybe I’ll...
