Shirts That Go

I was given an opportunity to receive two  items from Shirts That Go for review.  Mr. Burrito  love them!  My son has an obsession over trains, planes, cars and any machinery.  He was  excited when he saw the designs of his new shirts.

He look goofy on the photos  (that's what he does when I take pictures of him lol) but he  truly liked his new shirts.  He even wish he can wear it to school to show his  friends but unfortunately, they wear uniform so it is not possible.  Maybe on the day when they have  free dress (end of the month), I would let him wear it.

If you have a little boy like mine, you may want to consider  getting him some customized shirts like these if  they are into  engines and vehicles.  Shirts That Go has different   designs including the seasonal one which is the Ski Lift T-Shirt.  They currently have 30 designs to choose from.

My son like it because the shirt not only have  cool designs that he likes but it is also very soft as it is made from a cotton cloth material.  The categories that you can choose from when  selecting designs includes trucks and buses, military and coastguards, construction, trains, classics, fire and rescue, and tractors.  They offer discounts too if you a order  more than one shirt and oh, all orders comes with FREE shipping, so  check them out .

Thank you Shirts That Go for the opportunity to work with you.  My son wishes he could have each of the designs when I showed him your website.  I think I made a  mistake in showing him  that   lol.  Before I end this review, let me share this Calorie Pilot App that you can try if you are into monitoring or tracking your calorie intake.

The Benefits of Getting an MBA

By pursuing an MBA degree, a successful candidate can truly attain several benefits not just for his or her personal development but for their professional career too. For one, they can get additional knowledge concerning business as well as a wide variety of relevant aspects. Business schools and MBA programs usually teach business strategies and concepts, in reality and in theory.   Additionally, since an MBA course usually includes internship and training in certain firms, a student will definitely learn to utilize his or her skills in the course of everyday business operations and in reality. 

A coop MBA program, like Laurier University’s Coop MBA program, enhances the leadership skills of a student due to the rigorous training involved. In addition to the training, the reports, assignments, group projects and presentations given will enable students utilize their skills in dealing with business situations in a similar manner to what happens in real life. By developing this ability, the leadership and expertise in a student's chosen field is promoted. 

A vital benefit gained from a coop MBA program involves the network of business relations formed by a student with his or her classmates. The associations formed in the course of studying an MBA course are perceived as valuable resources that can continue even after the student graduates from the program.  Such extensive MBA networks can be consulted by graduates in case they need advice and can assist them in their relocation issues as well as search for employment. 

Once a student has earned an MBA degree, particularly from a prestigious business school, he or she will definitely get several employment offers from top companies. It is said that investment banks and consulting firms offer the best-paying employment opportunities to those who have just graduated with coop MBA degrees. Despite the MBA market experiencing a slowdown in 2003, consulting companies and investment banking firms are on the lookout for MBAs on campus again, particularly during recruiting seasons. 

Not to be forgotten of course, is the huge wages that an individual can get from holding an MBA degree. According to several surveys, MBA starting salaries have been on the rise in recent years, including signing bonuses; with the trend being global. For instance, one survey showed that in 2005 there was a 10% increase in the average salary and bonus for newly graduated MBA holders at $114,000. This rate of salary broke the record back in 2001. 

In case someone's career path does not fit perfectly to his or her interests and aptitudes, one of the benefits of pursuing an MBA program is that it enables them to explore their options flexibly. It also provides one with the required training for those wishing to change their careers. Another advantage is that one can use his or her education to start they own business venture.  If someone is interested in starting a business but does not possess the required expertise to launch it, an MBA can be of immense help. It can prepare someone to do everything including acquiring venture capital, writing a business plan or even launching an IPO.

Bluewater Road Kids Tees

Hello my  finest friends in blogging world.  It has been a while since  my  MoM let me  write in this blog.  I have been  busy  since the school started especially now that  I am into the  gifted program.  Mom thought that it would affect my grades but for me it is just the  same, I can not tell any difference except the extra cool and fun  things that we do when we go to my  special class.   My teacher in the  gifted program pulls me and one of my classmates every Thursday to have our  class  for   one hour.  I love it because we get to do  things that we do not normally do in our classroom.  Right now, we are studying about Canada and  did a project where we have to create an animal  that is made  up of different things.  It is pretty cool.  I am also  excited  because we are having a field trip  on the 7th of November and that would be my very first time to go. I think my Mom would blog about that so I will just leave  the details to her.

Anyway, I was  literally jumping up and down when my Mom said that she has something especial for me and that  she would let me write about it.  I am very happy to see a  tee with my name on it, I love it!

The owner of Bluewater Road Designs was very  generous to  provide me and my brother   personalized shirts to review.  I will be reviewing  my tee only though.  I have a beautiful  personalized birthday glitter t-shirt.  This t-shirt is great because it is soft,comfortable, and stylish.  It is not a very complicated shirt, but it is not just a plain shirt either, it is perfect.  I love the glitter and it is my favorite color too.  I am going to wear this to school and my friends will be jealous!

I don't know how to  do the linky thing so my Mommy did it for me.  It is the links where you can check out  Bluewater Road Kids in  Pinterest and  on  Etsy Shop where you can make your orders.

If you have kids like me who likes cool stuff such as the tee that I am wearing, I think that you should consider ordering them a personalized shirt with their name on it.  I know this because my brother said to me that he wishes he has a shirt with his name  on it as well.

I apologize for the  the messy hair, I just could not wait to try the tee when I saw it.  My Mom wanted to comb my hair before she takes my pictures but I told her that it is fine.  I do not look bad right?  I would like to  extend my gratitude to Bluewater Road Kids Design for sending me this beautiful tee that I am wearing.

Disclaimer:  I did not receive monetary compensation in writing this review, I do however, received the tee I described above for free.

5 Classic Toys for Your Little Thinkers

Toy shops these days are more like toy warehouses, filled to the brim with loud, colorful, shiny toys of all shapes and sizes. It’s hard for parents to know where to begin. If you’re shopping for your little one, a good place to start is with the classics. And why not choose toys that will not just entertain, but also challenge your child? Here are a few great options:

1. LEGO

LEGO is a classic kids’ toy, although let’s be honest, us adults can’t help but love those yellow bricks, too. The toy brand is constantly offering new themed sets that appeal to kids of every generation, from a Lego Star Wars R2D2 to a miniature version of the Sydney Opera House. The value of Lego is not found in the individual plastic rectangles, but in their ability to spark a kid’s imagination. Before kids are able to complete a Lego creation, they must first imagine what it will look like. Imagining is an important part of a child’s development, and Lego taps into that perfectly.

2. Jigsaw Puzzles

Hunting for those all-important straight-edges, categorizing every piece by color and challenging yourself to complete it without looking at the front of the box - ah, the joys of jigsaw puzzles. With different puzzles aimed at each age group, this is a classic toy that kids can enjoy throughout their childhood and into adulthood.

3. Construction Sets

Construction sets, or ‘erector sets’ as they’re also known, inspire kids to become creative problem solvers. They must use reason, and a practical understanding of physics (they’re doing this, even if they don’t know it!) to turn a set of seemingly unrelated parts - pulleys, gears, motors, wheels, etc. - into a functioning machine. Just wait and see what sort of ‘Rube Goldbergs’ your kid can come up with!

4. Rubik’s Cube

This brain-teasing block of colorful squares boggles the minds of most adults, let alone kids. Whilst it’s difficult to solve a Rubix Cube perfectly, every attempt to do so gets your neurons firing. Plus, once a kid learns to master it, he or she has an awesome party trick for life.

5. Monopoly

Whilst there’s plenty to be learned from Monopoly about the free market economic system and the dangers of winding up in jail, the real value this classic board game offers kids is the opportunity to improve their math skills. Counting their fake money and figuring out what ‘change’ they owe another player requires kids to do mentalarithmetic. For kids who aren't too keen on math homework, this is a great way to make their learning fun.

Soergels Orchards

One of my daughter's  classmates/friend invited her to  go with them at a pumpkin patch.  Since we already went to  another pumpkin farm, we did not go but we let her go with them.  They went to Soergel Orchards, a family  owned  farm  started way back in 1850 by a German immigrant  name John  Conrad  Soergel.  It's amazing how they keep it going till this day.  We have never been to this orchard so we are planning to go there  next year.  My son was bummed out when he found out that one of his classmates were with them.  The farm is  located in Wexford PA.

I a glad that  the Mom who invited my daughter took some photos and sent it to me.  Thanks  Mrs. V!

Toyota 4Runner , Let's Go Places

As you look at toyota 4runner sales & discounts, you need to remember that all SUVs are better with accessories. This makes them even more capable than they already are. This is important since SUVs are meant to be used differently than standard cars, so having accessories that help can really allows them to fulfill their role in your life.

For instance, you probably want to get a roof rack. Your new car may come with roof bars already installed, or they could be an option that you can choose if you want them. Check with the dealer before ordering the car, as it is more expensive to have them put on after you own the vehicle. You can then get crossbars for the roof rack and use the top of your vehicle to carry things, such as a Christmas tree. You could also get a special rack for a kayak or one for a bike, making it easier to bring your toys along when you are leaving the highway behind. 

Another accessory that you may want to consider is a trailer hitch. SUVs tend to be very good for hauling trailers because they have powerful engines, but you need a hitch to be able to do it. In many ways, this makes your SUV as useful as a pickup truck, even though it is as comfortable as a car. If you want the hauling ability of a truck without the stiff on-road suspension, this is a terrific option for you.

Artificial Tattoo

I am not into tattoo although I  have nothing against those people who does have tattoos.  I am glad that my  husband does not have one either.  Out of curiosity, we let  our kids  use the artificial tattoos that can be washed.  

Do you think  tattoo is a form of art?
