Hottest Skateboarding Trends

Quality skateboards will always be in style. But the designs, fashions, and accessories that skateboarders enjoy fall in and out of vogue. What's hot today may be out next season.

Not sure what's in style now? Here are some of the hottest skateboarding trends to guide you:

Retro Plastic Skateboards

Glossy, plastic skateboards enjoyed their heyday in the 1970s. Now these discount skateboards are making a comeback and are among the hottest skateboarding trends. This durable, functional board has a cool, retro design that will make you feel nostalgic even if you weren't around to see the 70s yourself.

Hybrid Skate Shoes

The shoes you wear to keep a good grip on your board may not necessarily look good on the dance floor -- until now. Hybrid skate shoes give you the functionality you need when you're doing tricks on your board and the style you want when you're out with your friends. No need to keep a change of shoes, so you can pack light!

Upcycled Skateboard Jewelry

Show off your love of skateboarding by wearing cuffs and chains made out of upcycled skateboard parts. Ball bearing shells and bolts can become rings, strips of board can be molded into bangles, and other pieces can be turned into pendants and other fun accessories. Show off your love of the sport while also indulging in one of the hottest skateboarding trends of the season.

Trio Thanksgiving Treat

I attended the  Thanksgiving  lunch of the three classes (Pre-K, Kindergarten, and First Grade) at my  children's school last November 19, 2012.  I wasn't assigned as  homeroom mom volunteer but I went anyway because I did not want  my son to feel like I am neglecting his functions as he saw how I was very active with his sister before.

There are many Moms who attended as well which makes the little ones very happy.

Budding Artist

My daughter has been watching the tutorials about drawing different kinds of subject on youtube.  Here are some of her drawings.  She definitely has my husband's artistic side, I don't have any talent in drawing at all.  I am glad that there is youtube because  even if I don't send my daughter to an art class, she learns from watching video tutorials.

"Children also have artistic ability, and there is wisdom in there having it! The more helpless they are, the more instructive are the examples they furnish us; and they must be preserved free of corruption from an early age. "

My two Burritos are equally different, Ms. Burrito is a quick learner while the  Mister   takes time.

Sleepy Eyes

Sharing old photos once again. My PC isn't well yet, the technician said that he could probably finish it by tomorrow so let's see. For now, I am uploading these shots when my kids were still little.

Mr. Burrito  is barely  a year old when these were taken.  We laughed looking back at these photos as he looked like so sleepy on the second shot.

Fire Drill

Oh I wish I could have my PC back, all the photos I have was there and it's killing me that updating my blog is hard without my photos.. sigh. This photo was uploaded before my PC crashed.

I wasn't in the school when the annual fire drill was held  but glad that one of the Moms who attended  took pictures and gave each of the student a copy.  This is the second grade class.  I am loving the  fire men  wearing pink shirt hehehe.

Tutorville

Me and my husband was invited to attend a meeting  by the principal of  our children school in order  to discuss a possible  special program for gifted children.  Our daughter  was recommended by her teacher  because she see a potential in her.  She was impressed when our daughter showed her  some of her  articles  and drawings that she did at home when she is off from school.  I am so glad that our daughter is doing so good in school.

It is my son that I am concern about, although he is doing good but doesn't take  it as seriously as his sister.  That is why I focus my attention in helping my son with his  homework at home because I know that he needs it most more than his sister.  I am also glad that I am a stay at home mom and I can teach my son at home.  Some Moms who  need to work has no other option but to  hire a tutor for their kids.  

Sibling Rivalry

Sibling rivalry is very common. My daughter was only nine months old when I got pregnant again. She got used to being our everything so when our son was born, she wasn't very happy. She was only 18 months old and it was very hard for her to accept that she had a competition to our attention.

For the most parts, she was very good to her brother but there were times that she would pinch him or bite him when she wanted attention.

It was hard for me too especially that  my family was far away, I felt like I  had twins lol.

Now that they are  bigger, sibling rivalry still exist.  It's a constant battle  that I have to deal with from time to time.

Time flies and I am glad that I got to  enjoy  motherhood in full at home.
