Eco-mmunity Event Recap at Frog Hollow Neighborhood House

Last weekend on April 19th, we attended the Eco-mmunity Space Celebration event held at Frog Hollow Neighborhood House. It was a children's event organized by the youth in the community.  We got to learn about recycling and reusing materials to make new things.  It wasn't very busy as there were only a few kids. It was fun though.



The adults got free Starbucks coffee. Good for me to keep me awake.


Brandon had fun with the egg hunt in the playground.

We still had a lot of tickets left. We could've used it and made more recycled crafts.

Little Junior Photographer at Wedding Event

So our little one, Brandon, had been following my footsteps in photography since he was 3 years old. We've been calling him our little junior photographer. Over the weekend, we attended a friend's wedding and Brandon had the chance to capture some moments of the Bride and Groom.

Migalolo Ocean eBook {App Review}

I was recently introduced to a new musical eBook app.  My little one, Brandon, and I always enjoy fun, interactive story apps together. We like this eBook because we get to learn about the ocean, the animals that live in the ocean, and everything about marine biology. Whales and dolphins were always Brandon's favorite. It's very educational and I like the upbeat music.
