The fake mustache is all the rage these days – whether an irreverent accessory or silly sticker, the mustache is popping up almost everywhere. Adults and kids alike enjoy its appeal, so if you’re looking for a fun theme for your child’s next birthday party, consider the mustache!
First impressions
Who says kids are the only ones allowed to have fun at their birthday parties? Don a fake mustache sticker and guests will be laughing as soon as they see you (keep a straight, serious face for further comedic effect). [Read more…] about The fake mustache: A fun new take on a kid’s party theme

Kids can easily get attached to their pet animals at home. Whether it’s a dog, cat or rabbit that they have, you can be sure that they’ll love and care for their pets for a long time. What’s important is they’re taught the right way of taking care of these animals.
Some adults, particularly those who were exposed to pets while they’re growing up, also love to raise an animal at home if they have their way. They may buy one out of their own free will or a friend may give them one as a gift on a special occasion.
This attachment is referred to as a human-animal bonding. The animal does not necessarily have to be domestic because there are some people who prefer the wild animals.
Animal bonding is even used for rehabilitation purposes. Owing to the therapeutic effect they bring to people suffering from depression or who are partially impaired, animals are now commonly used in a patient’s rehabilitation.

This post is dedicated to our reader, Betty, who is expecting her baby next month. For many mothers-to-be, the last month or so of pregnancy can be the hardest period for many reasons. If you are a working mother, and you get to stay at home during the last couple of months (or even the last month) of pregnancy, the respite from work is very much welcome. After a while, though, you might find yourself wanting to do something – anything – to help you kill time. Even if you’re a stay at home mom (and maybe even more so), you might be interested in alternative ways to bide your time while you wait for your bundle of joy to arrive.
Here are some web sites that you might like if you’re the type who would want to spend some time on the computer playing games.
Fupa.com is a web site that features tons of flash games. They have a parenting section, which has many alternatives to choose from. Some of the more interesting ones that I saw are Childs Play Word Search Game and Parenting Word Search Game, which I think are perfect if you’re the kind that likes word games – and I sure do. There are also games for little kids, which are pretty safe for your tiny ones. You do, however, have to register for FREE. It’s like an online community of its own, with some benefits.
Another fun site that I discovered is BabyYum.com. There is just one game – Baby Yum. It’s a pretty easy flash game, where you can practice your multi-tasking skills. I love the stork, which is actually your character. For some reason, the game reminded me of that old Game & Watch game where you caught eggs that fell off the shelves, which you can find left and right. Maybe it’s the set up of the graphics. In any case, I think this is a great game to play when you have some free time.
Of course, there are other countless games that you can play online – not necessarily parenting games, but still games that are worth your while. And, if you’re on Facebook (I know very few people who aren’t), you can have all the games that you want to keep yourself busy. If you like cooking, go for Restaurant City and Café World. If you’re into fantasy, try Castle Age.
For you mums who are not into games, what do you suggest?

The following is a sponsored post for Kabongo.com
Parents can encourage their preschool children to read in a fun and entertaining way. On the internet, there are various resources available today and one site I highly recommend is Kabongo.com.
This is practically a new site designed by Dr. Marty Fletcher, an expert in cognitive psychology. Kabongo.com believes that children learn fast when they are able to think and do activities they love particularly those that involve some form of play. The games are meant to develop the different cognitive skills of children which they can use to improve their reading ability as they grow.
On the site, children can choose a variety of online preschool learning games they will surely love. Kabongo features its own cartoon characters that are quite colorful and attractive.
To get started on using the games, parents need to register first after which they can introduce the play and reading activities to their kids. There’s a dashboard available wherein you can monitor your child’s progress in the kindergarten games they play. No fees are involved because playing the online games is absolutely free of charge. Parents just need to sign up and then you can instantly explore the site and play the games together with their kids.
As parents eager to teach your kids the fun way of learning, the Kabongo.com site is definitely a great guide as it provides easy to understand information on the essence of cognitive development, how Kabongo games work and the person behind the brain games. You will also learn how the Go Go Kabongo! brain games teaches children the right techniques in problem solving and critical thinking.
Articles containing tips are also available as additional resources for parents. More updated information can be gathered at the Kabongo blog.
Finally if you have any questions on how to use the games and other concerns, you can always contact the site’s customer service. You can reach them by email, phone or through regular mail.
