Blown Away by Rion Paige

Do you remember Rion Paige from the X Factor last year? This young lady inspires so many people though her voice.  She's very talented  and show so much  positive outlook in life.  When my  daughter complains  about something  that she can't do, I  remind her of  stories like this of Rion's.  It also helps to let her the Read Full Review of inspiring stories if people.  I wonder if she ever got a recording deal after she got eliminated from the show?  Below is her audition to X Factor.

Fun at Friends' Dairy Farm

We were invited to come and see a Dairyfarm yesterday by one of my daughter's classmate's parents. This is something we have never done before so we did not hesitate to say year when they invited us to come over.
 The kids  faces just lit up upon seeing each other and seeing the beautiful  surroundings.  This is the first time that my kids  see cows  up close.  We see them  from afar when we  go driving but now this close so it was a very good trip for us.
 We got to meet Abby's two dogs.  They are so sweet.
 The silly faces are magical lol.
They get to experience feeding the  cow.  My daughter was so tickled when the baby cow  suck on her fingers lol.
 Abby is so sweet to let  my daughter name one of the newly born calf.  She named  the  baby cow Ivy.
 This kind of activity is  rare so I want my kids to enjoy every opportunity they get.
 The kids had a blast climbing and hiding  on the bales of hay.
Thanks to the Windshiemer  family for letting us experience this moment. We definitely want to come back again if given a chance.  Maybe  in the summer time so the kids are off and we can stay a bit longer.  

A Pose with a Fisherman

Sharing below is a photo of my kids when we went to  Wholey's for  the first time.  We went down and use the restroom and  surprised of how  different the setting was  down there than the setting  at the  store, really neat.  These two are always ready for camera action which I love!
On another note, an inspector is coming to our house in  two weeks to  perform an inspection that  is required by our home insurance provider.  In 7 years if  being homeowners, this is the first time that they are conducting a random inspection.  They are probably going to asses if the value of the house  is going up or down depending on its condition.  We will see what the inspector would say.  Meanwhile, you can check out the for homeowners insurance in burlington nc if you are  living in that area and in need of an affordable  home insurance.

Friends Get-Together

During the last days  of summer vacation, we spend some great time with the Mascio Kids.  We  went to school and helped sort out uniforms and while the Moms  did the sorting out, the kids played outside the school.  The kids call it, survival game, as they make survival things   from the materials  they found around the school.  
The Mascio also invited us over to their  beautiful home.  The kids  swam in their  pool  while the parents play catch up with things about the school, parenting, and more.
We had pizza, fruits, veggies  for dinner.  After they swam, we  had some smores and then we went inside their home as it was  cold.
We had a great time.    We  stayed  longer than we expected but we had  such a great time spending time with friends.  
Glad these four get along well.  Thanks Steve and Marie for  having us over at your home!

Parenting Social Network Comes to the Rescue of Young Moms

Every woman’s biggest mission is to give birth to a healthy kid and raise him properly. Starting from the very first month of pregnancy every woman should think about her child and take care of him. Did you know that a baby in the womb perceives the world in his own way? As he has a strong connection with his mother, he gets same emotions she experiences; therefore every mother’s thought influences the child directly. It is scientifically proven that pregnant women, which feel safe during their pregnancy, give birth to healthier kids while moms with unwanted pregnancies and fears of childbirth can provoke the appearance of abnormalities in a future baby's health. When a woman gets pregnant, a new life starts growing inside her and it is a totally amazing experience for any lady, but there certainly are many negative aspects: drowsiness, toxemia, tiredness and irritability. What should every woman do in order to make the pregnancy less painful? Get the answers by becoming a part of the parenting social network – MOMs.com

Online community for moms is a new grandiose project for all you, young mommies and pregnant women from all over the world! Just like Facebook, this online community offers you a great possibility to create your personal user profile page and chat with other moms, who are ready to share their secrets and reveal their stories. Experience is an important factor when it comes to raising a kid and dealing with daily problems. Being a mom means being a strong and wise person that is capable of resolving problems fast. If you want to get the tips on how to feed your little one or how to lull him, you can always ask a mom, who already knows about it! Being a mom means being a wizard – you should always have time to do so many things: washing, feeding, cooking and looking after the kid. Where can you find some time for yourself? This is when you certainly need a wise advice on time saving plans. Actually, you will find your own strategy if you really love your child and know his character and habits.
 
Educating a kid is another important aspect of any mom’s life. I bet many of you do not even imagine how hard it could be fighting with a kid’s bad habits and how much time do you need to invest in your kid’s education, so he will grow smart and kind. Get on the best online hub for parents and find real people’s experiences and opinions.

City Music Center

Last Saturday was  our daughter's first day of classes in  Doquesne University.  She is enrolled to their  music program which include  one-hour of Musicianship, one-hour of Eurhytmics, and a 45-minute one-on-one piano with Ms. Natasha.  She was very nervous on the first day because we read  the reviews  online about her piano teacher and most of her students said that she is very strict, however, they all complimented her for being the best teacher.  Here are some of the photos of her first day at City Music Center.  Their classes are held in Mary Pappert School of Music building.

I tried to divert her nervousness by  letting her pose for me to take a picture of her which she did but inside the  piano teacher's room, you can tell that she is very tensed.
The piano teacher invited us over  to see how she does  but after the session, she told us that we  can no longer come inside with her in the succeeding lessons lol.  After her piano lesson, we  waited outside for her other classes to be over.  We let our son ran around the field and  have fun.
Me and my son won't be going with them  next Saturday.  Three hours of classes is  a very long time for him to wait although he can play outside but I would rather stay here at home with him then we can do something else rather than  be in the campus.  Besides, my husband has to do his  online assignments while waiting for our daughter so it will give him time to do it alone without us.

We Missed to Attend Friends' Wedding

Hubby and I were not able to attend the wedding  of his friend last weekend because  our daughter's first day of classes in Doquesne University have  fallen on the same day and we ran out of time after we got back home.  We were gonna try to go but  the drive from here to the venue of their wedding was two house so we will miss the ceremony anyway.  The thought of leaving the kids just to be able to attend the reception was not really ideal so I told my husband that   he should just give our monetary gift when they see each other at work.  Right now, they are still in honeymoon I think.   To Ralph and Bethany, congratulations  and best wishes to both of you!  Sorry if we were not able to come on your special day!
