<br />
This is our first time at Fun Factory. I usually set a limit on the amount of tokens/tickets/card to buy when we go to arcades, usually I start at $20 then maybe just go a little higher from there, usually not more than $30. It's enough to entertain her before we go ahead and go home or do other things.<br />

She's usually good whenever we go out that I don't bring the stroller now at the mall. I also set a time for her playing like the arcade and then she has to help mommy buy some things. </div>

Most of our activities cost about a dollar of less. I get a lot of toys or materials second hand and for some that are new, they are usually cheap like washable paints, paper, puzzles etc. A lot of things we use are are already things that we have even when RC was not around. <br />
<br />
To practice social skills, we also go to free activities for kids and go to the parks around the neighborhood. I love free, yay!<br />

<div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'>
<p>This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of <a rel='nofollow' href='http://app.socialspark.com/disclosure_clicks?oid=8465209'>Buffalo Wild Wings</a> for <a rel='nofollow' href='http://izea.in/rfso'>SocialSpark</a>. All opinions are 100% mine.</p>
<p> The NFL season will be starting within the next week or so,and anyone who enjoys sports has been anticipating the start of the NFL season. The preseason is mostly a test of the others who may not make the final cut of team players. So, while your significant other is engrossed n NFL football every week, there is a way that you can enjoy the day with them. You can take the entire family to Buffalo Wild Wings. So, not only can your family enjoy a tasty meal, but your significant other can watch live football while you’re eating. Your kids will be happy with the menu items and Mom doesn’t have to cook, so everyone will enjoy the great meal. So, we can all agree that we should <a rel='nofollow' href='http://app.socialspark.com/clicks?lid=23363&oid=8465209'>Protect the football. Get to B-Dubs</a>.</p>
<p> <span class='placeholder'><img alt='bdubs_newlogo_black_hor.jpg' src='https://img.skitch.com/20120828-cfjmhdfpipnyfeajfr13h1hj56.jpg'/></span></p>
<p> How else would anyone enjoy football season? Either you can stay at home and end leftover pizza or stale wings, or you can all go to Buffalo Wild Wings and enjoy time away from home and still allow someone addicted to football to enjoy being away from their computer on game day. Another option would be to send your football crazy husband to Buffalo Wild Wings, while you stay at home and enjoy a day without football. I am guilty of being not “into” football because it was a sport I did not grow up with. I think most Filipinos like basketball games better. It all balances out and everyone is happy. Not only is your husband at the restaurant enjoying chicken and football, but you can be at home enjoying a quiet night with the kids. Football season is anticipated by some, but loathed by others. Just try to make it enjoyable for everyone by visiting your local Buffalo Wild Wings restaurant. <a rel='nofollow' href='http://app.socialspark.com/clicks?lid=23363&oid=8465209'>Protect the football.

<br />
We made our first home made pizza a few days ago. It is easier than I thought but there were a lot of waiting for the dough to sit and expand. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9lF-oGLROJE/UDn3tNxNabI/AAAAAAAAIJo/TkQd036FTzo/s1600/038.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9lF-oGLROJE/UDn3tNxNabI/AAAAAAAAIJo/TkQd036FTzo/s640/038.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
My helper is more concerned with eating the mozarella cheese then putting the toppings on. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
After, it was good!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We did not follow a toppings recipe, those are not pepperoni but sliced bratwurst. I guess mixture of meaty and Hawaiian. I used to not eat olives but I eat them now. We'll be making pizza from scratch again one of these days. </div>

<br />
I got this idea <a href="http://moneysavingmom.com/2011/05/free-cothesline-busy-bag-instructions-and-pattern-download.html">here.</a> I used a yarn and connected them to chairs. She loves this one and she asked to do it twice the first day and then again the next day. I initially cut shirt-shaped fabrics but she wanted more so I just cut squares. I don't think she is getting it that this is how we can dry clothes because we just use the dryer. <br />
<br />

<br />
This is how our living room/playroom/craft room really looks like most of the time (even worse). I appreciate that I'm actually NOT the type who likes everything clean and organized all the time. If I am, I will have to pick up every 10 minutes. Hooray to be being messy!<br />

There are many sites who did this activity with their kids, not sure which one is original. I saw this on Pinterest. <br />

<br />
I used washable tempura paint. It entertained RC for awhile and we did this activity twice. Today I was trying to show her an "ice melting" activity but she wasn't too attentive. It's either she loves it or she's not into it (yet). <br />
<br />
more painting-- She seems to like writing letters using paint. I am trying to encourage her to paint things. <br />

She can do body paints on herself and mommy too. <br />

I am thankful for our little kitchen with old linoleum, we blow bubbles here and a lot of wet and messy things. It's what we have that is close to an outdoor space. <br />

<br />
We went here at Waipio Lookout after we went to <a href="http://momdaughterstyle.blogspot.com/2012/08/lapakahi-state-park-ii.html">Lapakahi State Park.</a> The view is great. It reminds me of Pali Lookout but it's not as windy and this one is more of the ocean than land kind of view. <br />

RC might not remember these places we have been when she gets older but I'm really hoping there will be more to come and who knows instead of interstate or interisland we might be able to go internationally too someday. Sometimes I think about going to the Philippines for months so RC will learn the language. She's been there once but she was just 18 months old then.<br />

Coloring eggs using vinegar, water, food coloring, stickers and glitter glue. At that time, we were reading a book about Easter and RC asked me about coloring eggs so we did. <br />

I did not want to throw the colored water away so I thought about coloring this old shirt. We took this fun to the bathroom to save our living room from being so wet... then we sprayed away. <br />

Playdough is an all time indoor activity at our living room. I bought this play dough tools from Amazon, I got the idea once again from the preschool class RC is attending. It just started again and soon the once a week free class might be twice a week so we might get busier. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We slowed down a lot on stamping lately, it used to be an everyday activity. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-uUnh0BP95gY/T_0y8G7kVlI/AAAAAAAAH00/GaeG2Pk50tU/s1600/007.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-uUnh0BP95gY/T_0y8G7kVlI/AAAAAAAAH00/GaeG2Pk50tU/s640/007.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>

This is one activity that we did with stamping. I gave these goodie bags at the last day of preschool class months ago. I was the only one who made them for the kids. The Dora bags were left over from RC's last birthday. I gave them for girls and the sandwich bags turned into goodie bags for boys.</div>

<br />
I thought about doing goodie bags again for first day of the preschool but I changed my mind. I don't want to overdo it and I feel that maybe I should ask the volunteer teacher first. The class is only 1.5 hours and it's filled with activities so I did not want to interrupt anything.<br />
<br />

Finger painting became scoop and splat painting. RC doesn't like to touch the finger paint. She likes it with water color (maybe because they are not thick).<br />
<br />
<br />
***********<br />
<br />
Anyway, just to keep up with blog journaling, yesterday we went outdoor by the pool area and blow bubbles. I saw the sprinklers and I thought that RC would love it since she likes bath time but I was wrong. I made her try it but she just stood there and wasn't enjoying so I took her inside, changed clothes, we had lunch. Then we went to the park with my friend and her daughter then to their apartment. Late in the afternoon, we went to Long's, ate at McDonald's for dinner and went to the park for a short while. <br />
<br />
Today in the morning we met 5 other kids with their mommies/grandmommy then we went to the nearby park that is different from the one we always go to. I fed some birds. There were a lot of kids! Luckily, they are around RC's age so I was not worried too much about her being hurt. Both of us are getting a lot of sun and it's so hooot nowadays. The afternoon was mostly free play here at home and watched Veggie Tales. We're not really religious but it's RC favorite cartoons at the moment. They have cute songs. </div>

<p> <span style='font-family: comic sans ms,cursive;'>I used to send a lot of text messages but I slowed down a lot about 5 years ago. You may notice a lot of people still love to text and I understand why. It’s good to be connected. They say that the average teenager sends around over 3,000 text messages per month. I’m not sure if that is a fact but that works out to around 100+ per day. One of the reasons that so many texts are sent is because it can be difficult to send and receive messages to many people at the same time, so they send the same message repeatedly to different people.</span></p>

<p> <span style='font-family: comic sans ms,cursive;'>If you are into texting, there is a new app called <a rel='nofollow' href='http://app.socialspark.com/clicks?lid=21879&oid=7792919'>POWOW Messenger for Android</a> phones that can make text messaging much easier especially for group texting. It can make text messaging much faster, but can appear on your home screen and show your last 20 messages. You can also blacklist text messages so you don't receive those pesky messages that clutter up your day. Muting notifications is no problem, and POWOW supports emoticons and Contact Pics. You can even delete an entire string of messages with one click. You can try <a rel='nofollow' href='http://app.socialspark.com/clicks?lid=21879&oid=7792919'>POWOW Messenger for Android</a> and see if it's right for you. It makes text messaging much easier and more manageable.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p> <span style='font-family: comic sans ms,cursive;'>I need to go back to texting and get connected again. I also need to use more apps on my phone including this one about texting. It would be fun to reconnect and learn more about technology.</span></p>

They have cheap school supplies.</p>
<p> For more savings, you can scan the coupon code at the site for mobile phones, you can also text "bts" to 34898 from your mobile phone.</p>
<p> <span class='placeholder'><img alt='QRC_BacktoSchool_BacktoSchoolSavings.png' src='https://img.skitch.com/20120808-qcega6qftt9c51mkyq1dii4abu.jpg'/></span></p>
<p> <span class='placeholder'>RC is not in school yet. She used to go to the child care which is also considered a preschool in my area. I remember buying so much school supplies that she would need to participate in arts and crafts and other activities that they would do. At this time, I'm a stay at home mom but I try to keep school supplies like paint, scissors, construction paper etc. She enjoys it and it keeps us busy within the day. </span></p>
<p> <span class='placeholder'>Dollar General has items like snack bags (just $1 for 50pcs!), first aid kit($5 each). I need to buy a first aid kit! I got the prices from their website. For those who stay in dormitories, they got "Dorm Essentials" like wash cloth and food storage containers. They have other categories to choose from that are related to going back to school but even if you don't have kids who go to school yet, they got everyday items that you can use. I saw some that have 20% off tags on already cheap items. </span></p>

We went to Rascal's Family Fun Center over a month ago and these are some of the pictures I took. I used to come at this same place when it was still a shoe store but this is the first time we've been at Rascal's. The mini golf that they had was the first one we did. It was entertaining but it was scary for RC after she saw the pirates and the background voices were loud. <br />

This is the most fun part for me and RC. I stilll had to help her throw the ball or she can throw it by herself but I just have to expect that the ball would be very slow. Next time we come here, we won't go through the mini golf again instead we would spend more time at the bowling. <br />

<p>This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of <a rel='nofollow' href='http://app.socialspark.com/disclosure_clicks?oid=8298245'>SAVE </a> for <a rel='nofollow' href='http://izea.in/rfso'>SocialSpark</a>. All opinions are 100% mine.</p>
<p> If you are thinking of visiting the state of Texas particularly San Antonio, it might help if you go to <a rel='nofollow' href='http://app.socialspark.com/clicks?lid=22819&oid=8298245'>SAVE – San Antonio Vacation Experience</a> website. You'll be able to find great discounts on tours, rental cars, hotels and more. When you visit the site, it also allows you see a map that shows you where the recommended attractions are. It is kid friendly too.</p>
<p> If we go to San Antonio, I would like to take RC to Sea World (coupons provided at SAVE), San Antonio Children's Museum (20% off w/ SAVE) and San Antonio Zoo ($2 off/person with SAVE).</p>
<p> I want to experience the Grand Trolley Tour and save $3 per person. I'm usually not particular with hotels as long as it is clean and comfy. It's always better though to have a big room for the family. I would like to stay at the Holiday Inn Riverwalk for as low as $89 per night. With SAVE, you can also shop at Market Square and get discounts on purchases you make.</p>
<p> If you want to view the other discounts provided you can click here --- <a rel='nofollow' href='http://app.socialspark.com/clicks?lid=22819&oid=8298245'>SAVE – San Antonio Vacation Experience</a>.</p>

<p> If you visit San Antonio, Texas which places do you want to go? There are so many options like go on ranches, helicopter tours, various museums etc. <a rel='nofollow' href='http://app.socialspark.com/clicks?lid=22821&oid=8298245'>Limited Time Offers</a> are going by fast. I know we're not going anytime soon but if ever we move to the mainland, Texas is definitely a place we would like to visit. Hopefully, discounts will still be available.</p>
<p> You can follow them in Twitter <a rel='nofollow' href='http://app.socialspark.com/clicks?lid=22823&oid=8298245'>@SAVEinSA</a> for updates and more information aside from visiting the website. I am their follower now. <a rel='nofollow' href='http://app.socialspark.com/clicks?lid=22819&oid=8298245'>SAVE – San Antonio Vacation Experience</a> can save you a lot especially if you are taking the whole family. Being able to save while you take a vacation is really good.</p>

I remember when we went to the Volcanoes National Park many years ago, we had to drive there before we see fields of lava everywhere but if you land in Kailua Kona, you'll see these lava fields almost instantly when you get out of the airport, miles and miles of them. <br />

These pictures were taken on the way to Mauna Kea but we did not drive all the way there. </div>

<br />
make an instant pudding ( we did this many times) I got the idea from the once a week preschool class that we go to. I'm looking forward to the class starting August, the teacher mentioned there will be more cooking/food preparation for the kids. <br />

I was peeling carrots here and other vegetables and she wanted to sit beside me so I gave her the carrot skin and a washable paint. After she's done, she said she made a very nice picture. It's her description to every art work she does. </div>

<br />This is not about really about cooking but still about food-- make a juice (okay, we did not have juice at that time, I gave her a moderate ice tea mix)<br />

<br />
Our kitchen table is so beat up. <br />
<br />
Today, I let her spread Nutella on her crackers for the first time, maybe next time she can make sandwiches. I really want to do cake or cupcake decorating with her and pizza making. <br />
<br />
I think this activity promotes confidence, whenever she helps me with food, RC is usually proud of herself after. It also promotes fine motor skills. Sometimes, I think she will be able to do everything in the future whether I do these activities with her or not but I guess the goal is to prepare them earlier not mostly academically but emotionally by building confidence. Again, patience is a virtue! I'm talking about not rushing because it will take a longer time if you do this with kids and the mess of course.</div>Mom Daughter Stylehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09431124044608802979noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4849848293249863780.post-76872722257496872242012-07-16T22:55:00.000-10:002012-07-17T19:06:22.820-10:00Paniolo Greens Resort<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br />
We stayed at Paniolo Greens Resort when we went to the Big Island last month. We occupied a unit that was on the second and third floor. The kitchen and the living room at the bottom and the bedrooms at the third floor. The units at the first floor are bungalow style. <br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
It was a good experience staying there, it was only the second time where we rented a unit that has the amenities of a home instead of just a bedroom. The price was good too comparable to renting a hotel room. We cooked mostly for breakfast, we used the living area and the lanai a lot too. <br />

There were two bedrooms. I was not able to take a picture of the other one, we only used one anyway and there were two bathrooms. There was a washer and a dryer which we also used. <br />

<br />
We will consider staying there again when we go back to the west side of the Big Island.<br />
<br />
I feel that I am so behind my blog posts, it's just that I'm focusing on other things this time. Mostly when I sit infront of the computer it's about browsing through toddler/ kiddie stuff. My upcoming blog posts will probably be about the activities we do mostly indoors.<br />
<br />
I started with Ebay again, I know I mentioned I won't sell anymore till I find a cheaper way to send items but it was just the most convenient way for me, it still consumes time but probably not as much as when I have my own website. Offline, I also try to find some gigs so I can help the family financially while I stay a stay at home mom and still play hard with my daughter. It's <strike>hard</strike> challenging but it's worth it. Well, personally from my experience working 8.5 hours a day in a company like I used to when RC was still so young was harder. </div>Mom Daughter Stylehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09431124044608802979noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4849848293249863780.post-53567275878971328012012-07-10T17:31:00.000-10:002012-07-17T12:01:49.486-10:00What Do You Do in a Day?<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

<br />
I've been thinking about a quote that I came across recently and it says, "You'll never be as busy in your life as when you were a child" and I agree. I compiled some of the pictures within a day and here are some of the activities we did. <br />
<br />
I was reading the "Taste" book to her and I thought after we read it, I let her taste some items in the freezer/pantry-- salt, Nutella, bacon, lemon juice, lettuce (she spit this out), thousand island dressing and honey. We had a good laugh with this especially when we made sour faces. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mgup3Ty3RjM/T_v1YWgGs0I/AAAAAAAAHyo/hIBF5xF0tqg/s1600/067.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mgup3Ty3RjM/T_v1YWgGs0I/AAAAAAAAHyo/hIBF5xF0tqg/s640/067.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
The shaving cream comes with shaving toys so it's made for boys but I thought that I can use it for this bin. This is one of the most common sensory bins that I see online. I will make a lot more sensory bins because she can do free play and I don't need to be beside her all the time with this activity (except I should expect the mess).<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-4M1ZE3FalYQ/T_v1acdfZdI/AAAAAAAAHyw/OCiE6rARlo8/s1600/068.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-4M1ZE3FalYQ/T_v1acdfZdI/AAAAAAAAHyw/OCiE6rARlo8/s640/068.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Painting with spoon, old toothbrushes and paintbrush. I'm glad I saved this cardboards from over a year ago and now we're getting a lot of use from it and it's free. I got them from my previous job.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SrIvbpqWm84/T_v2C9yJPBI/AAAAAAAAHy4/-D82oK9DBH8/s1600/070.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SrIvbpqWm84/T_v2C9yJPBI/AAAAAAAAHy4/-D82oK9DBH8/s640/070.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
She wanted to do puzzles, so we did, puzzles after puzzles after puzzles. She memorized the "What Goes Together" puzzle pretty quickly, I think in two days because she insists she do it over and over. It was from a yard sale for $1. She likes it a lot so when I saw the "Match It Numbers" from Ross Dress For Less for $5, I grabbed it right away. With the numbers, she only matches the pictures with the number figure and then I give her the word. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-oMIvaR2WD9w/T_v2FMqu_DI/AAAAAAAAHzA/pPrV5DQW7cM/s1600/071.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-oMIvaR2WD9w/T_v2FMqu_DI/AAAAAAAAHzA/pPrV5DQW7cM/s640/071.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
I thought this alphabet letter puzzles would be easy but since we had it, I always get kind of frustrated when we do it, the "have to double my patience meter" kind of activity. She knows her alphabets but somehow with this puzzle, I have to guide her a lot, maybe because it's too big for her? <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bvGKbYnzJB4/T_v2Hm9zj5I/AAAAAAAAHzI/N_DjRH4Nr3k/s1600/073.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bvGKbYnzJB4/T_v2Hm9zj5I/AAAAAAAAHzI/N_DjRH4Nr3k/s640/073.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
I just got this geoboard from Education Works ( a local store). She says she made a "mail" (envelope). She likes it but I have to sit with her so she'll play with it long enough. Have you thought of fine motor skills before you had a child (if you do)? I feel like I think a lot about small details now. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-uliTYTi5L_U/T_v2Jre1FOI/AAAAAAAAHzQ/PF__EEi6Fp4/s1600/072.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-uliTYTi5L_U/T_v2Jre1FOI/AAAAAAAAHzQ/PF__EEi6Fp4/s640/072.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>

We exercised for 30 minutes while watching "Bo on the Go". She was using her toy vacuum while I do my own vacuuming. She was also in the shower twice because of the sensory bin mess. <br />
<br />
You'll never be as busy in your life as when you were a child-- sooo true! Busy kids means busy moms to those who stay at home, of course to those who work too. Btw, I'm trying to look who originally quote that and I can't find it. <br />
<br />
<br />
What are the favorite things you do indoors with your child? I keep looking at these kind of blogs lately, those that feature what to do with kids, I'm addicted. </div>

This is my second time at Koko Crater Botanical Garden. It has been so long since the last time I was here. There are many exotic plants and it looks untouched in some areas. I can tell not very many people come here. It even felt a little scary for me because we were the only people there. There was a guard by the entrance but once we're inside, there was no other group that was there. I kept thinking that somewhere along the way, we'll see some other people that are walking or having a picnic but there are none.<br />

I think it's an interesting place especially to those who love nature. <br />

Everytime RC sees plumeria, she runs and smells them. I think plumeria is becoming my favorite flower too, they smell so good and they're beautiful. I like how we saw about three or four colors of plumeria flowers here instead of the usual yellow and white.<br />

I'm so proud of RC for not complaining during the walk. We only stopped once to have a picnic. Going up and down walking on a rocky path must be hard for a three year old, and this walk is probably about 2 miles long. We were walking very slow though. </div>

This is what we did for 4th of July. We did not come to see any fireworks this time, maybe next year. <br />

I've been lazy to comment and link on blogs lately.

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">You have probably heard of the Jeffrey Campbell brand shoes.
You can view a <a href="http://www.jildorshoes.com/brand.cfm/jeffrey-campbell/"><span style="color: red;">collection</span></a> at jildorshoes.com. It is one of the common brand
names that I see when I look at fashion blogs. To be more specific, the Lita
Jeffrey Campbell shoes seem to always pop on my screen. This blog shows a
<a href="http://urbanbushbabes.com/?p=10093">review</a>. Well, they are nice looking shoes and it makes you look taller for sure
with 5 to 6 inches heels. You can view the collection at jildorshoes.com. Sometimes,
I wish I have bigger feet, know how to walk in heels and of course more cash to
purchase more shoes. I try not to spend much lately and I stay at home most of
the days and if I get out, I usually wear very comfortable slippers or shoes. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Jildorshoes.com offers not just Jeffrey Campbell but also
other designer brand shoes and handbags. Some of the brands include Juicy
Couture, Tory Burch, Cole Haan and DVF. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you have fashionable kids, they also have
kids’ shoes. I liked looking at their blog too with pictures of female
celebrities. </span></div>

The Legoland in California gave our family lots of memories. It was such a fun day not just for my daughter but for us as well. We went there when it was a week day and we were able to enjoy a lot of rides and we took a lot of pictures.<br />
I hope someday we will also be able to go to Legoland Florida which is the largest theme park that Legoland has opened. Recently, they also opened a waterpark. Their waterpark is great for the kids, it has a 1,000ft lazy river, body slides, tube slides and a wave pool.<br />

We went to Pearlridge mall a few days ago. My main agenda was to take RC to this train, I remember how she wanted to ride this last Christmas season and now they have it again with the theme Avengers. </div>

After the train, we got some cupcakes from Cold Stone and then here at 808 Bounce. I thought it was expensive for $9.75. It's good for an all day pass but there were only three inflatable bounce "houses" and I knew we won't use it all day. </div>

It always makes me nervous when there are bigger kids playing because she might get hurt, even at the park so I made her go back to the toddler bounce house. There were a lot of kids and there was a party going on at the side. <br />

This was suppose to be a shopping day too but it turned out to be mostly RC's day. RC was great this time at the mall but I don't have desire to go on shopping recently. I grabbed a couple of things from Victoria's Secret (they were having a sale) but I saw the line was long so we left. I think I am realizing that I don't need much stuff now and I seem to use the same ones anyway. I get more excited on buying the ingredients for recipes that I want to try or get some items for new activities that we can do. This stay at home mom thing is changing my purchasing habits for sure. I did not leave the mall empty handed though because I got two things from TJ Maxx. They just opened stores here recently and it was my first time to go. <br />

Have a great weekend!</div>Mom Daughter Stylehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09431124044608802979noreply@blogger.com1
