When I was little, I received a table and chairs set for Christmas one year and I loved it. I used it for tea party's, marathon coloring sessions and I believe I even ate several meals on it. So, when Princess P began to show interest in all these things, I knew it was time for her very own table and chairs set.

Recently, I discovered Guidecraft and fell in love with all they have to offer. Each beautiful wood creation from the family-owned company sparks the imagination and allows children's minds to truly wonder and grow. And when I saw the Noah's Ark Table & Chairs on the Guidecraft website, I knew we had a winner.




Guidecraft generously sent us the Noah's Ark Table & Chairs to review. When the set arrived, I could not believe how neatly each piece was packaged! With C at work, I decided to unwrap each piece and organize them for when he got home. Well, as soon as I saw the beautifully crafted pieces, I couldn't wait any longer! I got out C's tool set and went work.

Thanks to the easy-to-follow instructions and neatly labeled pieces, I had the Noah's Ark Table & Chairs together in no time. When the set was complete, I was in awe of its solid craftsmanship and beauty!



One of my favorite things about the Noah's Art Table & Chairs from Guidecraft is the hand painted, hand-carved chairs. Both chairs feature a different animal scene that depict the story of Noah's Ark. Each chair is super sturdy and made from solid wood. There is no doubt that they will last for many years to come.



The tabletop is painted a beautiful green with a set of two different animals at each corner. In the middle, there is a removable Noah's Ark center panel with a storage bag below. This is a perfect feature for storing small toys or craft supplies. Princess P loves to put her play food in the storage bag and pull it back out when it is time to play. I love the storage bag because you can sweep everything into it and replace the center panel and voila! - you have clean table!



The Noah's Ark Table & Chairs from Guidecraft is absolutely adorable and it even looks great in our living room! Every time we have visitors over they comment on how beautiful the table is and how they wished they had one for their kids. I just know Princess P is going to have so many fun adventures with her new table and chairs set.

Buy it: The Noah's Ark Table & Chairs set is available at the Guidecraft website for $185

During the summer, we try to spend as much time outside as we can. There are just so many fun activities to participate in during the warm months. Some of our family favorites include fishing, picnics and just hanging out outside blowing bubbles (Princess P's favorite). But, as a family of three (including a very active toddler) seating always comes as a challenge. We either don't have enough hands to carry everything, or we end up forgetting someone's seat.



Recently, I came across the Tuffo website and instantly found that their water-resistant blanket was the solution to our problem. Each blanket can be used in a variety of different settings and they are ideal for both indoor and outdoor use. Also, the Tuffo Water-Resistant Blankets come in a wide range of designs to suit everyone's taste.



I was thrilled to find out that Tuffo was sending us the Dot Water-Resistant Blanket to review. When it arrived, I immediately commented on the pattern. It looked cute on the website, but in person it turned out to be even cuter than expected! The blanket came neatly packaged inside a matching carrying case complete with handles for convenient travel.



When I unfolded the Tuffo Water-Resistant Blanket, I was impressed at the size. It easily fit the three of us and we had additional room on the blanket for Princess P's toys. One side of the blanket has the adorable dot pattern, while the other side features a coordinating water-resistant brown fabric. The water-resistant fabric is such a terrific idea! You don't have to worry about getting the blanket wet when you place it on the ground.

After we had enjoyed our time in the sun, it was time to pack up and leave. I was a bit worried that I wasn't going to be able to fold the Tuffo Water-Resistant Blanket like the way it was, but thanks to the helpful instructions, I got it back into the carrying case in a flash. Another feature that I didn't notice until it was time to go, was the handy pocket on the front of the case. It is the perfect size to hold a cell phone, snacks and a drink. Overall, I think that the Tuffo Water-Resistant Blanket is perfect for many of the outdoor activities our family participates in. It will also make a great indoor picnic blanket in the cooler months.

Buy it: You can purchase Dot Water-Resistant Blanket from the Tuffo website for $39.99

celebrating the 601st post on a beautiful sunday(=


here comes Charisma magazine!
and check out how useful it might be for you and everyone out thereeeeeee
it's multi functional!

what caught my attention and realized once again, reminding myself
"It is the gift of no condemnation that gives people the power to sin no more"
"Unfortunately, many have flipped the order. They say,
'Go and sin no more, then we will not condemn you.'
There is no power in that.
Experiencing the grace of our Lord Jesus gives people the power to stop sinning."
~Pprince

met Ber and Nicole @0800
think that we are early
June and Sam started queueing @0600
Iona came @~10 straight from the airport with her luggage
and this is her 5th Mika live concert!:)
she had the other 4 in Japan
and it is her birthday today
awwww:)
all these in a week~
it must had been the best week of her life
haha it will be if it's me=D
how awesome it is to spend part of your birthday with Mika:)
she's really cool!
mum with 3 kids amazing
doesnt even look like one
her husband's a japanese
and she has been lived in japan for 22 years, wow.
hahaha so she's heading back home to australia,
dropped by singapore for 1N for Mika's concert
how convenient :D


the lollies we made
xinyii came @~10
she's a really great friend:)
shared with us her decos
shanna then came @~11

time passed really slowly at first
like 5 mins 5mins 5mins omg
zzz but thank God for the rain
in the morning which made it rather cooling

then the afternoon came
ahhh.. sun.
but peculiarly time passed really quickly

we went to buy food
and thats when Mika's mum
came to say hi
and 'thats what food do to you!!'
we missed it
oh well..
HAHA
sam and june went in to help out with glue gunning
but we sure had fun outside:)

and did i mention we were being accompanied by
a really really weird guy that kept smiling to himself
and also to others, take off his clothes, laid in the sun..
he stayed there the whole day and but didnt go for the concert
"???????"

at around 1600hrs
the crowd started coming in
so it started from
2 to 5 to 9 to 21 to 64 to.......
we did a music video of us with the song Kick Ass
with many other Mika fans,
it was an experience never like before..

ok.im lost..
i shall just skip all these

the concert was awesomeeeeeee.
is there a better word than that
how should i answer you
'oh how was the concert!'
i dont know how to tell you by words!
hahaha but i can show you:D
*videos videos photos photos*

i took a photo of Jimmy Sims
smiling at my tiny puny camera too:) :)
got his guitar pick too!:) :) :)
it's strange why no one caught it
so i found it on the floor after everyone dispersed.
it was RIGHT THERE
the black pick on the white floor
thank you angels:) :)
sure made me feel much better after knowing that
my recordings of the concert wasnt even saved in the memory card
and also 2 of my picks dropped out of my wallet..
this sure made up to it:)
ive blue tagged it REALLY TIGHT so it wont drop off hehh
bbc better say it's the best pick he had ever used when he tries it

to be continued~

Labels: .love love me, love love you

You may not be her first, her last, or her only.
She loved before and she may love again.
But if she loves you now, what else matters?
She's not perfect - you aren't either,
and the two of you may never be perfect together
but if she can make you laugh,
cause you to think twice,
and admit to being human and making mistakes,
hold on to her and give her the most you can.
She may not be thinking about you every second of the day,
but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break - her heart.
So don't hurt her, don't change her,
don't analyze and don't expect more than she can give.
Smile when she makes you happy,
let her know when she makes you mad,
and miss her when she's not there.

it matters to God.
