Turkey Hunting? Not Allowed

If you want to  have some good idea on what to do with your shoe boxes, try this craft that Ms. Burrito brought from school,  a turkey habitat inside the   show box.

Since Thanksgiving is coming up, turkey will be  the most  likely to be served during Thanksgiving feast.  She said that to protect Momma turkeys,  No Hunting sign at a  turkey habitat  could prevent it.

Speaker System

Our speaker system is exactly like this classic bose 20 that I have seen online.  My husband bought this from the military base store when he was still in the service for such affordable price.  We love the quality of its sound especially when all of us are watching a movie at home that we really love.  How about you, hat kind of speaker  do you have at home?

Veteran's Day in Young Mind's Perception

Miss Burrito made a  pop up card for her Dad during Veteran's Day.  I will let the messages  inside the card do the talking on how highly  she looked up to her Dad.





I love how she put sweat pouring on the little guy's face lol.  Mr. Burrito on the other hand made a small  flag for his Dad and it was so cute, I forgot to take a photo of it though.

Michael Jackson and Asian Princess Costumes

Michael Jackson and Asian Princess are the costumes that I bought for my kids  this year.  I asked my kids not to do trick or treating this year because it was raining the wind was blowing but they insisted to go because they wanted to wear their costume, so we went despite the weather.

Our neighbors always prepares special treats for our  kids every year.  We only went to one of our neighbors but  the others gave their treat to them   the next day.

My son did not want to  wear his afro but I insisted for him to wear it since it was raining and cold that  night.  At the end, he thanked me for it because not only that his head did not get wet, he was also complimented for his looks./


After a house or two, my son stayed in the car but  the little industrious Asian princess continued trick or treating using an umbrella.


Aside from a bunch load of candies,  here's the other  Halloween goodies they got.

How about you, did you and your children enjoy the Halloween this year.

Fear of Snake

This post brought to you by The Orkin Ecologist. All opinions are 100% mine.

Aside from worms, I am  totally scared of snakes.  I will tell you why.  When I was  growing up, we live in a farm.  My father used to  take care of a huge rice field and we were  a big part of from tilling the land to  planting rice and   during the harvest.  One day, I was  walking on the  side of the rice field when I saw the rice plants moving, I got curious and   and looked at it and OMG, it was a huge snake.  I ran and screamed to the top of my lungs and my father came  and he killed the said snake with a machete.  So yeah, aside from worms,  snake is my  biggest fear  as well.  

I don't know why, those critters that I am scared of, my kids aren't.  I am  gad that they are not like me.  As you can see in the photos below, they were folding the snake's skin that we found in the woods when we did our little nature trek  at a nearby  wooded area in our place.    Even just the skin scares me as I know that the owner of that skin is lurking around.

It's been two days now that my son keep looking at the scariest and deadliest bugs in the world at Orkin's website.  Ever since I showed it to him, he is so interested in  learning some of the bugs that he  is very interested with.    I must admit, The Orkin Ecologist has them all.  Now, I am not scared of spiders but the Goliath  Bird Eating spider  is kind of scary lol. Imagine a spider eating a bird, the thought is gruesome.  

If you would like to see some of the most venomous   critters in the world, visit Orkin Ecologist website.  You can also check them  out in Facebook and Pinterest.  Okay, be honest, are scared of  snake like me?  Speak out, I dare you hahaha.

Warrior Poet Clothier Fall Collection

I have worked with Warrior  Poet  Clothier before  showcasing their summer collection.


My son love the shirts  he got from them as it was soft and the great thing is that there is no tag at the back  which makes my son very happy.  Aside from that, their design is just perfect for boys like my son's age.

I am so  delighted to be given a chance to  to review  two of their Fall collection this time.    I have ordered one size bigger this time because every time I order him something, it is always just right and  he grow up  very  fast.  

I chose this "We Salute You" in  Dark Knight color and  in size small.  Looking at it, I think that is still a big big for my son so I decided not to show this to him yet.  This would be a perfect  gift to put under the Christmas Tree.

He love to sing so he would definitely like this design as it has a guitar at the back.

I also got this  Paisley Tie T-Shirt because he does not like tie before, he said that it looks goofy.  But then  he started using their new set of school uniform with tie and now he likes it.  So this would be a perfect new design of shirt for him to use.

I wrapped them up today and put it underneath the tree.  He immediately noticed it when  he came home from school.

Check out their Fall Catalog of different design.  They also introduce a new line which is the  Hoodies and Denim pants collection.  You can use  the code BL-Connect to  enjoy a 30% off your purchase.

I was going to ask if they  can send me the  denim and hoodie but they are not available.  I highly recommend  Warrior Poet Clothier  clothing for boys.  They are comfortable and they have lots of designs to choose from that you boys would surely love.  Thank you so much again Warrior Poet Clothier for  this opportunity.

Grades are In and I am a Proud Momma!

My Burritos  took home their report cards last weekend and I couldn't be more proud of what they showed me.  Even though my daughter has  extra  activities going on in school due to the gifted program that she  is in, her grades are still excellent.  

I was worried  for my son going in to the first grade  at the beginning  because he is not like my daughter who would sit down and  study lessons.  He likes to goof around which sometimes frustrates me because I want  him to do good in school just like his sister does.  I was really impressed when he showed me his grades though.  It was funny because he said "Sorry Mom if my grades are not as high as Ate (his sister)" but when I opened it, I hugged him tight and said "You're as excellent as your sister, so don't ever feel bad about your grades".  That being said, hubby and I are  proud parents for these smarty Burritos.  

I would like to thank Bluewater Road Kids Design for sending my precious Burritos two customized tees. My daughter was excited to be writing once again at her blog as some of you might know, I don't let her blog when the school is going on but since she love the tee so much, I let her do the review for that one.

I know that some of you might have started scouting for things that you want to get for your love ones for Christmas as the season of giving is fast approaching. You might want to consider getting customized tees for your kiddos just like the ones that my Burritos are wearing. You can check out Bluewater Road Kids Design in Pinterest and on Etsy Shop. They have pretty and cute designs for girls and absolutely cool designs for boys.

 Just look at how my Pinch Proof Prince is smiling wearing his tee.   I wish that I could have got him a shirt with his name on it as well because he  likes  his sister's tee and said "I wish mine has  my name on it too".  The good thing is that, he has a shirt already that he can use on St. Patrick's Day.  I love the material that  they use for these tees , they are soft which is super comfy for the  delicate skin of children.

Thank you so much once again to the  owner of Bluewater Road Kids Design, Ms. Caroline for  giving us an opportunity to showcase  their products.   To you Mom and Dads out there, these tees are  great  gifts for any special occasion especially this Christmas.  So check them out!
