I was on my way to the office when someone called me to inform me that they're on their way to deliver the products.I was introduced at these products a year ago pa but I wasn't that interested because Sophie was too young then however last Sunday when we were in SM center Las Piñas I passed by their tent.They were exhibiting their products there.A man named Rommel asked me to let my child play with the Logico toys and books.He also did some demo on how to used their puzzles and showed me different interactive books from Grolier.He was able to explain the importance of books on a child's learning process very well.He also mentioned that the first four years of a child's life is the most crucial stage of their life so how we nurture our children in their early childhood can make a big difference when they grow up. Anyways going back to the book, I've been heari...

My daughter's play area isn't that big and cozy and It's just inside our bedroom .Her toys aren't that expensive. Actually, most of them are just DIY toys that I had made for her but I'm happy to see her satisfied with all those things. The  Dramamama .   Bow...hehe The wall on her play area was kinda plain.so I decided to add some wall decor.Luckily,I found some scrap woods. The Four Easy Steps: Cut thin strip woods using a handsaw and according to your desired lenght. Be accurate. Paint the woods and dry them. Gently hammer in a 1 inch  nail at each corner of the wood to  attach them. It will look like a square. You can now nail it on the wall and decorate it the way you want,Just be creative.
