TOYSALE!!!!

Kmart and BigW annual toysales started today. As early as last week Nix and I have been browsing through the catalogs looking for nice toys, pero mas excited pa ata ako:) Anyway I already had the toys I wanted to buy in mind even before we got to the store, some will be reserved for Christmas na. Pero naman, pagdating namin dun, ubos na yung dolls na gusto "ko". Ganun kasi sila dito, napansin ko sa toysale lang dadating lahat ng new stocks of toys and after that halos puro old stock of toys na ang nasa shelves or pa-isa isang labas ng new toys. So most really go out and buy toys during the toysales. As in you'll see shopping carts stacked with toys, ganun sila. So since wala na yung doll na gusto ko we just put it on Christmas layby and could collect the doll starting December. But we were able to buy her a scooter and her Ninang Mae got her a Barbie pool. Dapat buy pa ko ng helmet pero baka sa weekend na lang. Here's the dolls I wanted because she loves both Tangled and A Little Mermaid::

Singing in the bath Ariel

I love buying her dolls at this point because she really plays with them and "talks" to her dolls, sinasakay pa nya sa stroller and sa ride on toy nya:)

You've got mail

Actually its not really mail but my order from Amazon arrived! A few posts back, I wrote about ordering Hooked on Phonics learning system from Amazon because I wanted to start teaching Nix how to read. I'm so happy it arrived ahead of the expected delivery time frame they gave me. Nix and I were so excited opening the box and getting our hands on our loots:)

Excited with her new book:)

Hooked on Phonics Learn to Read Pre-K and Super Workbook

Level 1 kit includes:
DVD, storybooks, workbook, reward stickers, flashcard, quick start guide

According to the guide we should start learning with the workbook (the one in Level 1 is all about the alphabet and learning about alphabet sounds), then proceed to practice skills using flashcards and then reinforcing everything by reading a book together or watching the DVD provided. I'm really excited about this although were going to do this slowly but surely, no pressure. I just want something that would keep her busy and at the same time something she'll learn from. I want to make most of this age wherein she's so curious and like a sponge, absorbs most so so easily.

I will post more about our progress in future. Have a good week ahead everyone!

Yum! - Yoplait's Le Rice

My friend Hazel mentioned that Yoplait's Le Rice tastes really good so the next time we went to the grocery got some to try. And indeed it tasted yum! I got the vanilla flavor and basically its like this milky custard with rice in it, like sweet rice porridge. I like eating it cold out of the fridge and it can quickly satisfy any hunger pangs I have:) Its also 97% fat free and low GI so all the more good.

On sale: Cotton On

I'm really starting to like Cotton On already. Before I always just passed by it whenever we go to the mall since I figured its much cheaper to buy in Kmart or Target for clothing basics but I think I was wrong :) Especially now that they are on sale!!!! Like for today I got 3 tops for just $20.
