I started this blog when I was pregnant with my first child. Put in about 5 entries and stopped because I was so busy with my pregnancy and getting ready for the baby. Left this blog hanging and hanging and finally I knew I had to update it because I found myself retyping the same thing over and over and over for my friends. I figured from now on, I’ll just send them a link with everything that I did with my children that was noteworthy.

I like buying things. Okay, maybe that’s an understatement. I am a hoarder and shopaholic of toys and anything educational for my children. I am obsessed with how to educate children and research a lot on this topic. I spend my days doing research on how I can do things better with minimal effort. Most people think I spend hours with my children to achieve what they have but in reality, I spend only 1/10 of what they think.

I don’t believe in the traditional Chinese parenting (I was brought up in one) because it limits creativity. However, I don’t agree totally with letting your child run wild either. I’ve found a happy medium. I believe children should have early exposure to writing and reading but at the same time, I don’t feel that it should be made a boring task. Some parents tell me but teaching them to read IS a boring task. Not really. If it’s boring for you, it DEFINITELY will be boring for your kid.

Here on this blog, I will share all the “toys” (or they think it is) and methods I used to educate my kids and I welcome feedback and more community sharing. This is a blog for friends and family for supportive sharing. I understand everyone has different opinions and respect every way you’d like to educate your children. Everyone has a different method but I hope that there aren’t any attacking comments among readers. We can all share but let’s keep all the negativity to ourselves because I really wrote this blog to be a happy one and to jot down my journey with my beautiful children.

This is not a professional blog and isn’t intended to be one! There will be typos, grammatical errors, and very opinionated opinions because I am OPINIONATED! I will apologize first if I ever offend anyone but I still stand behind what I believe.

Thanks for reading and feel free to ask me about where I got my stuff if you are shopping for items!
