Study Table For Kids

With the school year fast approaching, I am sure most parents are concerned on weather to buy study tables for their kids or not. And with so much study tables on the market, most of us are confuse on what’s the best table for our kids.

I guess having their own study table somewhat encourage the kids to learn more and be more organized and responsible with their things. It can also cultivate Independence and of course it will be fun for them to think that also have their own “office” like their mom and dad.

Buying a study table should not be a hassle specially in terms of finances. You can go look for a cheaper but comfortable table. If your money won’t allow you, don’t go looking for tables that looks like or almost like a complicated office space. A strong and sturdy flat table is all you need and some creativity from you and you’re all good.

Magnetic Wall Paint

I used to watch home and garden shows in my local channel and one the most interesting stuff I saw was the sue of magnetic wall paints for a kid’s room. The paint was used so that the kids can attached or stick magnetic stuffs on the wall. Now it makes me think of it is safe on the wall. And it makes me want to have a wall painted with magnetic paint so I can stick there the list of diet pill that works, that I found on the net. I will be needing that list when I am done breastfeeding. Magnetic boards are really cool, no more hassle of using tapes or post it note or thumb tacks (which never fails to hurt my feet).

The first question is, if it safe to use in the house? And based on some readings I got, yes it is as it does not contain lead. And it being safe to use near computers and speakers (for magnet purpose), the answer is yea again as the mechanism of the magnetic paint wall is much the same as it is on refrigerator wall.

The magnetic wall paint is also easy to apply. All  you need to do is use the paint as the base of your wall paint. So after applying the magnetic paint, you put another latex paint on it.

The best thing about this magnetic wall paint is the unending fun it can give to your kids as they stick their artworks on their walls. And of course to you as you stick your to do list, list of any list and all reminders in your wall.

Air Coolers

We were talking about air conditioner and air coolers and the difference of the two. Of course the price is the major difference. Which led us to our question, why is it that air coolers are way cheaper than air conditioner?

The usual air cooler is not worth a bullion(precious metals such as gold or silver in the form of bars or ingots), it is somewhere between $70 to $100, while an air conditioner is somewhere between $200 and up. with the price difference of the two, is it practical to go for air coolers instead of air conditioner?

From my readings, I have learned that air coolers are devise that cools the air using water or ice. And from the looks of it, air conditioner is still the best option if you want to be cool amidst the scorching heat of summer. And some even suggest that instead of buying an air cooler, buy a fan instead and just put an ice on its back, it works almost the same as air cooler.

Walis Tambo

Walis is broom stick. And walis is a part of every Filipina homes. I heard about stories of Pinay living in abroad and still uses walis instead of vacuum. And if you ask me, nothing swipes better than our walis.

Have you ever wondered what is the history of our broomstick?

I know it was made out of grass, and not just ordinary grass. This kind of grass grew most in high places like Baguio, that’s why Baguio is the haven for walis tambo.

The grass’s flower was the part that is made into walis tambo. It was dried and put together then a stick about 2 feet was tied to it.

The cost of walis tambo difers from the thickness of of the grass, the thicker, the more expensive.

Boy’s Bedroom

I can’t remember where I got this photo.. but this is beyond coolness.. the room is so organized.. I would love to have this kind of set up for my boys.. that is if they would be willing to sleep in another room without mommy.
