Here is a picture of Baba playing Bionicles in his Xbox 360 at 4 years old! I want to blame his dad because of his early exposure on video games but I understand him as well that since at the beginning of our stay here, Baba wasn’t exposed to a lot of kids. But now, [...]

Hence, I researched on [...]

I do not exactly remember when my folks started teaching me how to handle money. But I clearly remember that I had to write my own and even make my own Christmas Cards from scratch to save a few buck during the holidays. I am glad that my friends love my poorly crafted Christmas cards, [...]

So before I check on this wrinkle cream for Baba’s mamy tata, let me share this article from BabyCenter.com on how [...]
