Steps4Kids Multiplication DVD
Our daughter started kindergarten yesterday. I can’t believe that my baby is now officially a student. Time indeed really flies so quick. My husband and I were emotional and got choked up after dropping her off to her classroom. It’s very hard for us because she have never been away from us since she was a baby. I stayed at home with her the whole time, and she didn't go to pre-school.
As a parent, I am very confident that my daughter will do well at school. My husband and I have been working with her. She can read, write and do a little bit of Math. Right now, she only know addition and subtraction. Once she masters both addition and subtraction, We are going to teach her basic multiplication and division.
I will be using the Steps4Kids Multiplication DVD that steps4kids.com sent me. This multiplication DVD offers engaging visuals, calm auditory instruction and support, and discussions about patterns and tips to help children remember their numbers. With equations presented in both vertical and horizontal format to all children to learn both styles. Tips to help children memorize their math facts are also included throughout.
This DVD is great for both home and school. It includes a list of common accommodations to help children with individual learning needs, and some examples of how multiplication can be made fun. I can’t wait to use it! You should get yours today at shop.steps4kids.com.
I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Hollywood Studios
One of FOUR Theme Parks in Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando is the Hollywood Studios.
One of the highlights I love the most at this resort is the Star Wars 3D tour. Pretty cool!
The icon of Disney's Hollywood Studios theme park is a 122-foot-tall, blue and gold Sorcerer Mickey Hat, like the hat Mickey Mouse wore in the 1940 classic Disney film Fantasia.

My secret is that I love Pretty Little Liars
Guest post written by Melissa Holbrook
There's a big theme in the TV show Pretty Little Liars about the main characters keeping all kinds of secrets, be it from each other or just from anyone else outside of their group. But I also have a secret too, that I guess isn't such a secret because I'm writing a blog post about it. But I love Pretty Little Liars. It's one fo those shows that I don't really want to like, but I love!
It's just such a juicy concept and wondering who A is really is stringing me along for the ride. After I was looking through some spoiler blogs for what's supposd to happen for the rest of the season, which I think is really based on what all happens in the books, I saw the website clearwireinternet.com. After I looked through it some I decided to change over my apartment's internet service to it.
It isn't just the mystery though that has me watching the show. It kind of takes me back to how catty some people were in high school and I'm relieved that I'm no longer in it.

Nostalgia
My grandfather died at 73yo last Saturday, and it hit me pretty hard. Really, really hard. I still have trouble accepting the fact that he's now gone. Maybe because I'm too close to him. He's a plain guy from a small town and the old school. My grandfather was an amazing man who is responsible for a lot of what I know and who I am today. He's more than a father to me. The best husband, father, grandfather and a great grand father I know. I'm going to miss you Lolo. I love you!
This photo was taken last year during my grandparent's 50th wedding anniversary.

...
Hi everyone! Sorry for not being able to update my blog for awhile. We got back from our vacation last Saturday evening. Our Florida vacation went so well. We had a great time with the Cottrills, the kids had a blast the most.
In the middle of our vacation, I received an unexpected call from my family in the Philippines. My grandfather had a stroke, and was rushed immediately to the ICU. I was devastated when I heard the news. My family told me not to worry because the doctor told them that he's fine and they're ready to release him. But on the next day, I got another IM message from my family that my grandfather was in comatose and his chance of surviving was pretty slim. I was speechless! Not my grandpa. Right after our vacation, he took his last breath - Saturday morning.
It’s really a hard time right now for me and my family. My grandpa is an irreplaceable, incredible, valuable person – is at the end. I'm going to miss you Lolo. Honestly, I’m not ready and don’t want to write about his death. I still can't believe that he's gone. May he will rest in peace. There’s nothing more painful than losing someone we love.
I really would like to go home and attend my grandfather's funeral, but I CAN'T! Hubby and I can't afford to pay for the plane ticket. Each person costs $3k plus. Our initial plan was to fly by myself, but when we found out the cost of the plane ticket, I don't think if we're able to afford to pay for it. So we thought it would be a good idea to send money instead to help for the funeral expenses. My family in the Philippines understand my situation, and I'm sure my grandpa as well. I'm just glad I was able to see him on skype last month and got to spend time with him last year.
I won't be able to share our vacation photos yet, maybe next week. Right now, I have no desire to update my blogs. Just give me some time. Thanks for dropping! Your visit and comment is highly appreciated.
