13 days left until Christmas and my PENNY 4 PLAYGROUND project is going really well.  I’d like to thank those who’ve donated already and those who are planning to soon.  But don’t take too long eh, after all you don’t want to miss your chance to delight the children at Yarmouth Central School, right?

Doing my bit for the school that my daughter attends is but a JOY!  Seriously!  I’m sure some may think that a dollar is too shy to donate but please don’t think that way, every penny helps and I appreciate any amount.  So come on now, even if you need  snow chains for your car tires I’m sure a dollar is not going to make you any poorer.  In fact, I bet you are gonna feel real good donating to a good cause.  So hurry! If you enjoy my blog and the entertainment it brings you, please help support my PENNY 4 PLAYGROUND project.

And here’s my brat saying “Thank You” to you.. :)

The Happening 2008

Author: CCW  //  Category: Amusing/Musing, Asia Gossips, Brat's Fashion, Entertainment, Gadgets, Health, Hollywood Gossips, Home Furnishing, Movie Reviews, Shopping, Uncategorized

This show is weird..!!  and in my humble opinion..  for what it is worth..  M. Night Shyamalan should stop making movies.  It’s getting weirder everytime.  When i saw the preview of it.. i thought it was good.. and then a few of our customers told me that this was a good movie.. so i watched it last nite.. and was really disappointed by it.

Oh my God..  *slap forehead* . .it is so boring.. and at the end of the movie.. it started all over again.. and unexplainable.. as well.  Well.. they did have an explanation.. but it sure sounded ludicrous to me.  Don’t watch it.. if you do.. yer just wasting your money.

Messy bathroom and bath tub..??  You are not alone but at $34.99, a wee bit steep for my budget.. plus already the brat has got so many toys.. do i want another..?? but for those new mummies.. this is a great thing to have.  For not only a clean bathroom.. fun and easy.. it is used to store all those bath accessories… and it doesn’t collect mold and mildew, now this has gotta be a plus.  And getting your kid to clean up may not be a bad thing too.  For all ages .. so no need to worry about anything.. toys not included though.

Animal Plugs

Author: CCW  //  Category: Amusing/Musing, Brat's Fashion, Gadgets, Home Furnishing, Shopping, Uncategorized

Definitely more fun than the ones i have at home for my brat. I don’t know about other kids.. but mine.. she won’t go near those electrical plugs even with a 10 inch pole .. so i’m pretty sure..she won’t take them off..and play with them. But i can’t say the same for other kids, so buy at your own risk, although it is supposed to be used to keep the kids/toddlers/babies fingers from the hole of the electrical socket. Comes in a red dog, blue cat, green elephant and orange sheep, check Decor Craft Inc to buy them, comes in a set of 8. Decor Craft is in Rhode Island.. Providence..!! woohoo..!! i know where it is..!!

I had been locking for a rocking see saw for ages for my lil’ bart.. finally found it at HearthSong and it’s affordable too. At $69.98, it’s a great price. I only worried if the brat grows bigger she might not be able to use it. It said .. that as many as three children can be rocking the see saw .. but I donch think so. Really don’t wanna squeeze the kids together.. no fun at all. For 18 months and above of age.

For $69, I’ll have to get this for my lil’ brat. What a stylo-malo looking toy for the kid eh. No pedal no worries.. now does it need any special batteries or electrical power, simply rotate the steering wheel from side to side to go forward and flip the while 180 degree to steer backwards. To stop, all you need to do is to stop rotating the whell and put your feet to the ground. The smoother the surface, the faster the lil’ kid powered car can go.

I think the brat would love it .. just because it looks fun.. and closest thing to driving a car but what would a 4 yr old know right..! No expensive power source is the main attraction for parents. It’s safe, quiet and hold up to 220 pounds. I think i’ll take the pink please.

This reminds me.. about my childhood. I was so envious to see my neighbours.. and school friends.. with these little matchbox furnitures and houses.

Simply cute.. you can now buy them for your kids.. like i would.. for less than $6.00 .. from Etsy. Awesome.
