Home Schooling

The word “Home Schooling” was first introduced to me by my children’s kindergarten’s supervisor a year ago. My children attend a kindergarten using fungates system and this kindergarten is run by a couple together with their siblings. What aroused my curiosity was that their children were able to help around in the kindergarten everyday. Questions like “Why are the children not in the school at this hour?” popped up and that was how I got to know the word “Home Schooling”. Then I got to know more mothers who home school their children.

Why are more and more people home schooling their children? I have been thinking and I came out with a few possible reasons. Firstly, I think by home schooling your child, your child gets your personal attention and the child can learn better at his or her own pace. Secondly, the syllabus is bible based and many Christians can be very sure that their child is not detached from the bible and at the same time he is learning good values through studies. Thirdly, children who are home schooled do not mix around with bad company and the possibility of negative peer group influence would be minimized. Fourthly, home schooled children have more time to learn other skills.

With the advancement of internet, home schooling has become very convenient. There are many online home school programs but The Jubilee Academy seems to be a good choice. It is an accredited school which offers courses ranging from pre-school to high school including summer school program. The bible based curriculum which becomes an attraction to many parents, is conducted via the internet which includes e-book, CD-ROMs, video and workbooks. The 24 hours a day and seven days a week support and curriculum make it easier for parents to home school their children.

There is just one worry about home schooling our children and that involves the social aspect. Many worry that children who are home schooled have no opportunity to socialize and mix with other children and therefore there is no room for them to exchange views and experience. However, this problem has been curbed by The Jubilee Academy via their social center which is monitored and safe.

If you think that home schooling is expensive, discard that perception because The Jubilee Academy provides an affordable price for all courses offered. It is not surprising if you take into account the absence of concrete classroom, equipments, furniture and all other overhead expenses. If you are thinking of home schooling your child, take advantage of the mid year tuition discount to try out The Jubilee Academy online home school program.

Eyeglasses

My husband and I wear eyeglasses and we often look around to search for good quality eyeglasses with reasonable price.

I had a great discovery: Zenni Optical! They sell a great variety of eyeglasses ranging from the Zenni Optical $8 Rx Glasses to the pure titanium framed eyeglasses. Zenni Optical offers eyeglasses for adults as well as children and they even have a range for women! The best thing is that they deliver internationally!

So, Best Thing Found: Zenni Optical, I would say!

Which Baby Products Are Better?

I have been married for seven years and now I am a mother of three. Time really flies. My youngest is two now and my eldest would be entering primary school next year or rather next month.


I could recall the year I was pregnant with my first child. Being a first time mother, I was nervous about parenting and didn’t know what to buy for my baby and which model or brand to go for. Recently I came across this website on baby products review and I love it! When I browse through, I could see a great variety of baby products and baby equipment. Each and every one of them contains reviews and rating by experts and users. To name a few, there are diaper bags, feeding sets, car seats, baby carriers, safety gates and thermometer. It is really useful for new mothers to compare and read about the products they are about to buy to ensure that the products suit them and their babies.


That’s not all! There are even reviews on UK hospitals, which I find very interesting and very lacking in Malaysia. To find a hospital of your choice is not easy. How can we survey each and every hospital to find out the number of delivery rooms, number of beds available and number of birth per year? It seems so impossible but by clicking on hospital reviews in babyfy.com, you get all the statistics at a glance. Isn’t that wonderful?


You can also find a lot of useful information in babyfy.com such as “How do you know when your child is seriously ill?” I personally find it very informational and I do learn a lot from there. Babyfy.com is really a good site to visit and I strongly recommend that you see it for yourself.

Hotel Reservations

It’s holiday again! Where are you planning to bring your children? I am cracking my head now. There are lots of places that the children have not been to and there are lots of places that I think they should visit. Singapore would be a nice place!


I was surfing the internet to search for a hotel and came across Hotel Reservations. So, I browse through and thought this website actually solves all my problems of searching for a hotel one by one. With just a click of the mouse, you can actually search for a hotel in any country in the world.


The online booking system is really simple. When you type in the destination, a list of hotels with its rating will appear. The description of the hotels with its facilities can also be found. It’s really easy to select the hotel of your dream that suits your taste!


What happens if you don’t like to stay in a hotel? Don’t worry, through Hotel Reservations, you can find motels, resorts as well as bed and breakfast (B&B). On top of that, there is Vacation Rental to aid your search.


What I find interesting is the competitive price where there’s a 70% discount for online bookings and special internet rate when you make an upfront payment with your credit card. If you are going for a long vacation, be sure to take advantage of the $100 rebate for a twelve night booking. That’s a lot of savings, don’t you agree? Savings means more to spend during your vacation. Isn’t that wonderful?


There’s also a detailed FAQ page that answers most of your questions. After reading this, I think I am ready to book my hotel room through Hotel Reservations and enjoy my trip to Singapore with my husband and children.


Happy holidays to everybody.

Extraordinary Experience in Paris

I have always wanted to visit Paris. If our dream of sending our children over to London for tertiary education comes true, I would have a reason to fly over to London and engage myself in Europe tour and Paris would be a definite destination for me to visit.


How nice it would be if I can really get to know the people in Paris, their lifestyle and their culture better. Staying in a hotel and following the tour group would not bring about the feel of Paris. With Paris Bed and Breakfast, I get to see how Parisians live their life, to interact with them and get some suggestions on places of interest which are worth visiting as well as where to dine. What about starting my day with French breakfast in a relaxing way? I have never liked to rush during tours. B&B Paris would be the perfect choice for me.


I just can’t wait to step into Paris and have an extraordinary experience.
