Trendy Dresses from ThredUp

After some technical issues that I run into   from making my order at ThredUP, I finally succeeded after learning that  the  email address that was registered on my account  was wrong.  I don't know how it happened but glad that it was  straightened out.  Anyway, I  got my daughter two  dresses from the site.

She loves this Iz Bryer  dress as it  fits and hugs her body perfectly.  My 8-year old daughter  wears a size 6, such a petite girl for her age.  This dress only cost $8.49, it is originally priced at $31 so I saved  73% off the retail price.

This special occasion dress from Gap has a retail price of $51 but I got it for only $15.49, a great savings of 70%.  She  wasn't fond of this one as it was a bit bigger for her size but I told her that I will alter it or she can wear it using a belt.

ThredUP is a great site  if you want to save money in buying your  children some name brand  dresses.  You can also sell or donate clothes of your children that they don't need or use anymore.  What I like about the site is that, you can start a group for fund raising to help your community or  your children schools by donating unneeded clothing.  You can ship it for free, just  request for their "clean out" b bags and  drop it off from  their designated places in your area.  I also like the fact that you can buy new clothes for low prices.  Check them out and start saving money in buying clothes for your kids at ThredUP .  Oh, before I forgot, they  just added  line for women and juniors too!

Dog Experience

When I was about  9 years old , I  had a horrible experience being chased by a dog.  I was passing by their house when the dog started  chasing me.   The owner thought it was funny but I was terrified as the dog was not  playing but he was ready to bite me.  It's very sad to know that there is no law against dog owners like that in my country.  If that would have happen here, you can hire any  san diego dog bite attorneys to represent your case.   I was really exhausted and almost passed out when the owner finally called  their dog.  It was  an experience I will never forget.

Family Car

Now that we have a bigger car, we  have been enjoying  road trips.  Hubby is actually surprised that the van  didn't use much gas  when we drove  to Davis West Virginia, a couple of weeks ago.

It's a lot comfortable for us to travel especially for the children as they can  crash/sleep in the back seat when they get tired (Don't worry he is  strapped in the seat belt).

Here's  the little Miss, enjoying the  cucumber slices that I prepared for snack for our road trip.  Whenever we go on a long trips, I always make sure to  slice some fresh veggies and fruits  for us to snack on.  It is healthier and a lot cheaper than  stopping at  food chains.

Our happy camper enjoying the ride.  Have a lovely  week  everyone!

Nina Simone's Feeling Good Cover

Have you ever watched Nina Simone, Feeling Good cover video in Youtube?  This  girl is so good, I had goosebumps listening and watching her sing.  She is only 12 years old  but my gosh, she  can really sing so well.  She is  gifted with a very soothing and well controlled voice.  My daughter  told  me that she wishes she can sing  like her.  You see my  darling daughter love to sing too which I think she has  potential but she  believe she is not good enough.  I keep telling her to just practice and practice.  I am also encouraging her to take voice lessons but she said that she's shy to do that.

Anyhow, to see what I am telling you about Nina Simone, please watch the youtube video below.  Youtube is such a good channel for those talented individuals who  needs  exposure.  A lot of   talents nowadays are being discovered through this channel  which I think is a big help for them to be recognized.  If you like what you see on this video, would you mind sharing in your  social media media pages such as Facebook and Twitter?  Thanks a lot!

Bal Yoga for KIds

My Burritos, especially the little Miss got so excited when I told  them that  they will be getting  a yoga book and DVD soon.  As soon as the Bal Yoga for Kids kit has arrived, she immediately opened it up and read the book. She played the DVD with the book in front of them, they sing with the music at first then they did the yoga poses.  

Bal Yoga is an easy and fun interactive method in teaching the kids  yoga poses.  It is a complete  compilation of yoga poses that every  kid would like.  The book  and the DVD illustrates  alphabetical poses of yoga from A to Z which is  a fun way  for kids to stay in shape.  Bal Yoga for kids also offer training workshops so if you are interested in  getting your child involve with it, check them out.

According to my daughter (she wrote and typed this in here herself):

I like Bal Yoga because,it is very relaxing for me, it keeps me fit and, is so much fun. The music is very joyful and I love singing along. My favorite poses are the tortoise pose, the rabbit pose, the camel pose and, the airplane pose.

If you want to get in touch with them, LIKE  them on Facebook or visit their website through the  link provided above.  Thank you very much Bal Yoga for Kids for sending me the complete set to review.  My kids certainly  enjoy doing it.  I even join them to motivate the  little Mister who thinks some of the poses are hard lol.

Daddy Swag Gift Box from DaddyScrubs

I received a  Daddy Swag Gift Box from Daddyscrubs.com.  DaddyScrubs has gifts and apparel for dad and dad-to-be, check out their daddy diaper pack, the Daddy Swag Gift Box, the new daddy ties, and the I'm the Bag O' Books at the website.

My husband grinned when I handed him the  swag gift box.  He immediately joked "Did you decide to  have another baby again?" I just laughed and said "No, thank you!" 

The  set of scrubs could have been a perfect one that he could have worn when I delivered my babies in the hospital.  It could have been a perfect photo of him wearing the scrubs instead of the disposable  gown that he was wearing in the photo below.

I love this quote that DaddyScrub has:

"Any man can be a father but it takes someone special to be a Daddy!"

I totally agree with this.

Love how they  packaged everything in the swag gift box.

Everything in it has "I'm the Daddy" which is very special for  Dads-to-be.

A set of  scrubs and a shirt.

A cap, perfect this summer.

A coffee mug, two  bracelets, three pens, and a sun glasses.

Thank you so much DaddyScrubs for these  beautiful set of "I'm the Daddy" products!

Massage Parlor

I have never experienced going to a  massage parlor  and have a massage or something.  I don't think  I would be comfortable  having a deep tissue massage in chicago or anywhere else.  But then again I love being massaged  by my husband whenever my back aches or whenever I have migraines, but you know that is a different case.  I am not  good with  having other people  do something for me especially if it has something to do with my body.  I even   feel awkward going to my OB GYN lol.  But I am sure that this is something that you  have to get used to, right?
