Good morning lovely mommies >_<
Alhamdulillah, yesterday we went for books hunting with our charming kids.
This list of great authors and their books is in NO WAY complete.
Many great children’s authors and books have not been included, not because they are not worthy, but because to include them all would require another blog post

New books! *alhamdulillah* >_<

Big fan of Dr.Seuss
*marvelous!*
(for big bro KiruaMi-cHan & big sis Reihi-cHan)

Wonderful stories ^0^
(for big bro KiruaMi-cHan & big sis Reihi-cHan)

For lil sis Yunafi-cHan

Tiny book but lots of fun! Superb choice for lil traveler.

New book: 365 Days of Baby Einstein for lil Hide-cHan (our 2nd book!)

Tribute: After 5 years of using our 1st book~ 365 Days of Baby Einstein ^-^ *still lovin’ it!*
——————————————————–
Today tips:
- The best way to learn which books your child enjoys is to read children’s books ~ lots of them.
- Read not only awardwinners, but also award-losers. (Some of the best-loved books are runners-up!)
- Make the children’s room of your library your second home.
- Visit the library one afternoon or evening without toddlers in tow and spend some time getting to know the best in children’s books, both old and new.
Get to know the librarians and ask for their recommendations.
The most popular books are usually checked out as soon as they are returned, so reserve them if you can.

You don’t need games, flashcards, or special instruction to help your child gain social and educational advantages over their peers. You just need books, your child, and you. Reading to your child as often as possible is the best thing you can do to help him or her learn to read independently.

May Allah swt bless your day *hugs*

Beware The Homeschooler!
Post by MamaFiza on May 13, 2009
Hola sweet mommies
Wish you were in marvelous day *hugs*.
Alhamdulillah, just obtained great news for my lovely kids
Remember my previous post regarding to How to Raise Money-Smart Kids?
Even though, my kids will only officially launch their business venture by end of June 2009. My kids just received their first payment for their business project from their very first client today! *alhamdulillah! yippie* >_<

Tadaa . . . ^-^

Close-up!
We’re going for books hunting this week

Keep on positive attitude mommies ^0^ Homeschooling is the BEST!
May Allah swt always bless & help you. Amin~

Make Mealtime Family Time
Post by MamaFiza on May 12, 2009
Anyway, a very Happy Mother’s Day to all you mothers out there!
How did you go with your mother’s day gift? I hope it’s appreciated if it comes from the heart, rite
Every now and then, my dear husband like to take our family out for a treat (not forgetting home-cooked meal, of course ^-^ ) .
It is important to us to find a place that everybody can enjoy.
We want everybody to be happy, not just one or two. Sometimes it’s hard to find a place that everybody likes and will enjoy.
Two place that my whole family likes and enjoys are called Baskin-Robbins & Kenny Rogers Roasters.

Blueberry craze

Blue-ish? >o<

Blushes? >_<
We tried and ate new flavor: Blueberry! (Available for a limited time only).
It’s actually a mixed berry flavor (blue raspberry and blueberry combination) swirled with their own Tutti Frutti ice.

Delicious gravy ^-^

Oh, peek-a-boo?

Observation time, bricks? ^_-

Mama, The King & big sis
For many families, eating meal together has become a lost art but it proves to be a simple, yet effective way to reduce the risk of youth substance abuse and to raise healthier children.
The facts are on the table: eating together every day/night keeps the doors of communication open.
It’s the perfect time and place to reconnect and to show your kids that they are your priority.
Sitting across the table is where and when you can find out more about your children’s likes, dislikes, and daily life.
By eating together you can help your children toward positive activities and behavior.

It’s perfect, no need to explain
Play time! *alhamdulillah!*
To lovely mommies: when you take good care of yourself, the better you will feel, the more energy you will have, and the better mother you will be *Insya-Allah*.
If you are not able to fit in something you want to do on Mother’s Day, then plan it for another day. Nobody says you have to do it “on” Mother’s Day. Feel free to pamper yourself without feeling guilty.
Mothers can get so busy taking care of others that they forget to take care of themselves. It is important if you have not been taking care of yourself, that you re-evaluate your schedule and figure out a way to incorporate exercise, better eating habits, things that energize you, quiet time, prayer time.
I pray that all you single mother’s will be blessed beyond your expectations this Mother’s Day.
May God surprise you and bring you much joy, peace, laughter and love.
Hope all you moms are having a wonderful Mother’s Day!

Paper Bag Art for Toddler
Post by MamaFiza on May 11, 2009
Good afternoon sweet mommies
May you have a great day.
Today, I love to share tips on “drawing time with toddler” *giggles*
Alhamdulillah, after 1 years of training (once per week), my lovely kids remarkably improved their quality of drawing plus enhanced their expression in art appreciation.
Many children do not know that artists have learned to draw by doing observation-drawing practice. Thus, they often assume that you CAN draw or you CAN’T.
However, actually anybody can learn to draw at any age. Many children feel inferior about their own ability to draw.
Too often no parent has ever helped them learn to make a proper observation.

My boy: KiruaMi-cHan (in his 2 and half year of drawing >_< )

My girl: ReiHi-cHan (in her 1 and half year of drawing ^0^ )

My girl: YunaFi-cHan (in her 1st 4 months of drawing ^-^ )
Thus, I always explain that drawing ability comes from practice. I call it “practice” so it isn’t as intimidating as final products.
In our homeschool method, we don’t worry too much about mistakes while we are learning. I give them some proven ways to practice and encourage them to make a many choices as possible as they learn to draw *alhamdulillah*.
Truly, I never draw to show a child how to draw do something. Learning to see is done by studying the real thing, animal, or person being drawn – not by getting the teacher to correct the work. The child should OWN the whole process and product.
Sadly, if I would show a child how something is drawn, the child would get the idea that my drawing is the answer. The child would think that his/her job is to copy my drawing/artwork. Looking at my drawing is a very poor way to learn to see for yourself.

Snakey Snake!

Happy Hippo!

Tame Tiger!
I never ask my child to copy a picture made by me, by another artist, or by a camera.
I have them practice from actual objects or models. When children do copy work for fun on their own, I do not condemn them for this, but I do withhold compliments for copied work, and I withhold all encouragement related to copy work.
I encourage them to practice from actual objects – never working from pictures.
I am often amazed at some of the elaborate drawings that a child can make. Think about the amazing thinking habits that are being fostered by this approach.
——————————————————–
Here are some tips on “Animal Paper Bag Art“:
Things You’ll Need:
- Paper bag
- Crayon
- Pencil
- Marker (black)
- Eraser
Step by step guide:
- Step 1 : Draw.
Help your child to sketch & draw their favorite animal on the paper bag with pencil. Then layered with black marker.
- Step 2 : Coloring Time!
Let your lil angel to color and scribble the paper bag with their selection of colors.
- Step 3 : Rewards.
Praise your child *hugs n kisses!*. Show time!
——————————————————–
Notes:
- Mistakes are normal. Always prepare them in advance for what to expect so that they can be pleased with what works rather than disappointed by what does not work.
- Before starting, do take extra time to discuss some details of a small area where the child will start. This gives focus, familiarity, and confidence. Visual information is useless unless you notice it.

Tadaa *ho ho ho!*

Don’t forget to try this easy project with your toddler!

May Allah swt always blessed your family. Amin~
