Oh how I’ve missed writing my Thankful Thursday posts so I made sure to wake up very early today to write this.  🙂

The last 2 weeks of April were spent toasting and baking under the sun whilst the little one attends his swimming classes for the 4th year. He was really enjoying these classes and has learned a lot since I enrolled him as a little tot a couple of years ago, so I made it a point to enroll him each year. He simply loves his time in the water and absolutely enjoys learning how to swim. This year, we bid goodbye to his floaters, as well as his toddler swimming class, for good and by next summer, he shall be enrolling in the Basic 1 Program, as recommended by his coach.

There were a lot of things to be thankful and grateful for these past few weeks and here is my list:

Tweet A Collage Of Your Child’s #MultipleIntelligence + Win!

I really had a great time checking out entries for our previous #MultipleIntelligence Tweet Giveaway and I commend the mums who joined for making sure that they develop their children’s multiple intelligence to make them #MultiAchievers.

It really is of utmost importance that we mums endeavor to hone our children’s multiple intelligence to ensure that they grow up to be well-rounded individuals who are equipped with the right smarts to advance further in life. It is important that we not only aim to raise brain smart kids, but also make them body smart, as  well as people smart.

Education does not end in the four corners of the classroom and it is a must that mums foster a “life-long learning” atmosphere at home. Surrounding our children with educational toys, books, arts and crafts materials, as well as other things that can promote learning is a great way to encourage them to continue learning even when they are not in school or when they are on vacation. There are also a number of creative ways to entice children to learn and be hungry for new knowledge and concepts like introducing them to new stuff like Google or bringing them to the park or the museum. Before summer ends I will make sure to bring the little man back too The Mind Museum, he’s been bugging me for ages to go there for another visit.  :-))

For raising body smart kids, an afternoon at the playground can very well be a good start. They can get the much needed exercise while going up and down the swings, the slides, or the monkey bars. Running around the wide open space will also prove to be very beneficial to our little ones’ developing muscles and bodies. As for Jared, his favorite exercises are going for a late afternoon jog around the neighborhood, and of course, swimming for hours on end at our favorite local resort.

In helping our children become people smart, it is best that we expose them to different events and situations where they will meet people of different ages and different walks of life. It is also a must for an only child, like Jared, to be exposed to kids his age. With a winsome personality, plus constant exposure to more people, I am sure my little learner will develop his people smart soon enough.

Mumwrites + Smile Brilliant! Professional Teeth Whitening System Giveaway {Open Worldwide}

37 Comments

I was contacted by Smile Brilliant awhile back to feature a review of their Professional Teeth Whitening System on the blog and while I am in the process of waiting for my Teeth Whitening trays to finally give their product a road test, I decided to hold this giveaway first, so that one lucky mum will also get a chance to experience the benefits of this award-winning product, and also because Mother’s Day is here!  🙂

Smile Brilliant Professional Teeth Whitening System in a nutshell

Teeth whitening can be quite a nasty business and even when we might be born with a perfect set of gleaming pearly whites, years of drinking coffee and other dark beverages that leave unsightly stain on our teeth over the years, among other factors make it very difficult to keep those teeth shiny white. This is most probably the main reasons why there are many teeth whitening products available in the market today. Each promising to bring back the shine and the white in our teeth. Among these products are whitening strips, whitening pens and lights, and in-office power bleaching.

Of course, not all teeth whitening products are created equal. Some might just be priced too steep for our budget to afford, others might give discomfort during application that might put us off and decide against continuing the use of the product. And then, there are some others that are entirely ineffective at all!
