TwirlyGirl

"It takes a Twirl to Raise a Girl"  is  the slogan from  TwirlyGirl  and I just love it!  Having a daughter is a wonderful thing.  I have a friend and an enemy  lol.  Kidding aside, having a daughter is  awesome!  I can't even imagine myself without  our precious little lady.  She's my baby doll whom I can dress up most of the times.  Trying on clothes is one of the many things that we both enjoy doing when shopping at the mall.  She gets very excited when I tell her that I have a dress for little girls like this one.  

She was so thrilled when I handed her  the packaged that I got from TwirlyGirl.  She did not know what it is as it was beautifully wrapped in a pink cloth.  She thought I was pulling a prank on her even though it was  the day before April Fools.  I told her to open it and see.  

She absolutely love this Can Can Dress  with a Bubble Gum Petal Shine print.  The material is so soft and  comfortable on her skin.  When she put it on, I asked her to make a twirl and she was like "Whoa, this is so cool, I love this!"

We even use the wrapper as her hair accessory.  She can't wait to wear this on their free dress in school and that wouldn't be until the end of this month so she just have to wait.   

This dress is very well made.  I can till that this would last very long because they used  4 thread overlock stitching.  You don,t have to worry about ripping off the  stitches or something like that.  All  the clothing at Twirly Girl is proudly manufactured here in the USA so it is high quality.  You might raise your brow when you see the price but I tell you, it is worth every penny you will pay for with their dresses.

Twirly Girl has fabulous collection of dress for little girls   that they  would surely love to wear everyday.  I am telling you, our 8 year old daughter does love this one that I got for her.  She wore it right away  when it first arrive then I told her that I have to wash it, when it dried, she wore  it again lol.

A dress for little girl like this cost $72 but as I have said earlier, it's worth it because the fabric alone is of high quality and the  craftmanship is beautiful.  They do take pride in making their products.  It was funny when I told her that this  particular style of dress is called Can Can and she exclaimed "Oh my, that's my first piano piece recital song" lol.  She's right, I did not think she would remember but she did.

If you want to see their dresses little girls' collection, visit TwirlyGirl.  I had so much fun browsing and  looking at their selection.  You can change the way you  dress little girls with their   collection into  a more fun and fashionable way.  You can use the code KidsTG to  enjoy a 10% discount, the coupon code will expire on May 1st..  This code expires in May 1st so  while you have time, enjoy the discount before it expires.  Thanks a lot TwirlyGirl!

4 Tips for Selecting a Unique Name for Your Baby

When the time comes in an expecting couple’s career to start thinking of names for their future son or daughter, there can be a lot of pressure to pick the perfect name. Naming a baby is no trifling matter. The name that is chosen, whether for a boy or girl, will stay with that child for his or her entire life and have a direct impact on the type of life he or she has. Nowadays, it seems that picking the perfect name also includes picking one that is unique. 

Uniqueness in a name is thought of as both a way to ensure a child’s sense of individuality and personal identity, as well as a way for parents to express their love to their future son or daughter. Giving a child a special name makes parents feel that they will give their child a special life, and this is an important factor. While the popularity of naming children after biblical characters or elder family members has not entirely diminished, it has seen a decrease in recent years. In a culture that is dominated by media and entertainment, the fact that celebrities have a tendency to give their children unique names certainly has some influence on the choices made by modern parents-to-be. 

While uniqueness, in itself, is typically viewed as a good thing, there is also another side to it that should be carefully considered before making a final decision on a baby name. There are varying levels of uniqueness that can determine the manner in which a name is received by the child’s future peers. The right amount of unique, makes a person “special,” while too unique can make a person an outcast. While, this may seem an extreme perspective for something as simple as a child’s name, make no mistake. A name that is deemed “weird,” will most certainly cause your child some difficulty with the other kids at school. It’s important to weigh these factors carefully.

So, if you are a person fortunate enough to be at the point in your life where you are considering a baby name, what’s the best way to go about picking a unique one? 

1. See what’s Popular - When choosing baby boy names or baby girl names, one classic method is to look through baby name books. Now with massive resources available online, a simple search will bring up statistics on all the most popular and current names for boys and names for girls. This can be useful for a couple reasons. This will allow you to find a name that you like without the fear of picking one that is too outdated. On the flip side, you can make sure that you’re not naming your child the most popular name in the year. No child wants to have three or four classmates with the same name.

2. Make a List – This is probably the most important step to take when choosing a name for your future baby. Memory is not a reliable place to store information and, during your search, you will undoubtedly come across a large amount of names that you like. You can even use a system of check marks or ratings to help determine your favorites on the list. The list should be ongoing. You have plenty of time before you have to make that final call. Keep it open-ended as long as you need to.

3. Think outside the Box - If picking a unique name is important to you, lists of popular baby names will probably do very little to help you in your search. Think about the parts of life that you love most. Places you like to visit, activities, philosophies, music or the arts. You never know in what way inspiration will hit you. Keep an open mind.

4. Consider Alternate Spellings – This method has become increasingly popular over the last couple decades. If you are worried about giving your child a name that is too unique, you could simply rework a classic popular name. If you choose this route, be careful not to make the name difficult to pronounce from reading it. This will give your child many headaches throughout his or her life. Try to avoid adding silent letters or interchanging vowels that should not be interchanged. Changing a “C” to a “K” is usually a safe bet. Changing an “I” to a “Y” can also work but should be done with care.

My Little Acrobats

After a few weeks of attending gymnastics, my son did not want to go back anymore. I was once again disappointed that my son did not stick to it. We have been trying to find something that he would like to do but it seems to not work. I mean, I don't want to push him to do something that he doesn't want to do but at the same time, I don't want him to think that he can quit whenever he wants to as life isn't like that. 

He has to learn how to work on something and stick with it.  My husband said that he is still too young, he is right but my point is, when  is the right age for him  really pick what he wants to do as a hobby.  I guess when he is ready, he will let us know.

He does do what he have learned for that short period of time attending gymnastic class though. Him and his sister sometimes do the tricks at our living room.

On Getting Married

I talked top my mother today for   about  one and  half hours regarding my sister who was hospitalized from a bad infection.   She went to the city to check on my sister because she was so worried.   I was worried sick too when my friend informed me that she was in the hospital because I know that she  doesn't have anybody there to help her out. Glad that she has her boyfriend   there who  rushed her to the hospital.  My sister is now out of danger so my mother is going back to our town.

She mentioned that her house  is in badly need of repair especially the  steel bars of the windows that got rusted.  She said that she will need some Steel Supplies  for the repair.  That means that I have to include that budget to my next  budget allocation.  I wish I have extra  income to subsidized my  family's needs all the time.  I am  grateful that  my mother understand  our situation here.  We do send her  her money as much as we could  to help her out.   My Mom told me that she talked to my sister about  focusing on   passing the licensure examination for teachers before thinking of getting married so she could secure her  license to teach first before settling down.  I told my Mom that it was a needed conversation with my sister because I was  worried about it too.  I hope that she would listen to us  because it is for her own good.  Otherwise, she might  want to Check out these Wedding Ribbons if she decided the other way.

Saint Day Mass

At St. Joseph School, every class has their own saint to celebrate.  The first grade where my son is now, their class saint  is St. Patrick.  Even though the celebration of St. Patrick  was on Monday last week, they had the mass  on Wednesday on St. Joseph day.  The first grades were the ones  in charge for all the  readings and they also sung a song for all of us before the mass has started. 

My daughter was part of the Bell Choir, they sung all the songs in the mass.

It's very uplifting to see these young generations being trained at church.  This  really  teach him how to overcome their  stage fright.  

It was  their Saint Day so  the kids were allowed to dress up  instead of wearing their uniforms.  Mrs. Gain, the teacher did a really good job with the kids.

Another school  year will be ending soon.  I can't believe my son will be in 2nd grade already and  Ms. Burrito will be in 4th.  Whew, where did the time go?  Anyway, before you go, here are the  short videos I recorded.

How to Book a Last Minute Holiday the Kids will Love

If you have school-aged children and want to take a last minute holiday, it can be a little challenging, due to academic schedule constraints. However, taking a fun holiday with the kids can be unforgettable in the best possible way, especially if you participate in speedy yet thorough planning. Keep reading to learn more.

Speak to the school

If your children generally have reliable attendance habits, it's worth talking to officials to see if it would be possible for them to miss a few days of class to take a holiday. That may be permitted in some instances, such as if you're celebrating a birthday.

Otherwise, take a look at the calendar and note any national holidays that will give your kids days off from school. By planning a bit in advance, everyone will have a more enjoyable time because you won't have to worry about permitting your children to sacrifice their academic responsibilities.

Set a budget

One of the main reasons why many families decide to book a spontaneous holiday is because it's possible to save significant amounts of money by booking this way, provided you're willing to make plans in a hurry. It's still necessary to plan and figure out your budget and determine whether or not you have any wiggle room. While setting a price for how much you can spend, don't forget to accommodate for some special activities that may have particular significance for the kids.

For example, maybe your daughter has always wanted to go horseback riding on the beach or your son has dreams of one day being a helicopter pilot. Excursions like an equestrian trip or helicopter tour will take some money out of your budget, but they will also give your kids holidays they'll remember fondly.

Consider renting directly from an owner

One consistent expense associated with all cheap late holidays is accommodation. If you're willing to consider the possibility of not staying at a resort, think about renting a holiday home directly from the property owner. Many people who have holiday homes list them online, allowing potential occupants to browse at their leisure. Often, the price paid per night is much less than you might expect.

These three suggestions are all related to preparing to take a trip. Once you have the foundations in place, it will be much easier to take a relaxing break that will make your kids think their parents are expert vacation planners.
