My kids’ favorite website has to be Nick Jr.
This morning, while my husband was still asleep with the baby, I was working in the office, while the kids were playing right next door in their bedroom… At the point when they starting fighting (you know, they can only play together lovingly for ‘so’ long), I called them into the office and let them play with daddy’s laptop…
Do you see the brotherly love? It was really fun watching them play together, discussing the games, the 4 year old asking his little brother’s opinions, the almost 3 year old asking to hear the story ‘again’...
Of course, the fighting does start again… notice the 4th row of pictures?! 

Visit Nick Jr.

My kids’ bedroom is my favorite place in the house! It’s just fun and makes me feel happy…

I did freehand the letters, and made some mistakes, but I cleverly painted balloons over them! 

For the arabic letters, since this is not native to me, I made stencils. And yes, I did make a mistake with the sequence of letters, but I just lost track of where I was, painted the letter and couldn’t undo it, so I just went on and hoped that arabs wouldn’t notice! 

We put up those little baskets for them to put their toys into, you know the smaller toys, like blocks, cars, spoons…

But the room ultimately always ends up looking like this!!
And yes, we bought everything from ikea.

So, back in October, I saw this very cool kiddy gadget advertised, and I thought that my kids would totally LOVE this thing! I convinced the mousehunter to check it out at Toysrus and I was naive enough to think that this ‘toy’ could not be more that $40…
Needless to say we came home empty handed!!
But, all was not lost… these kids have grandparents!!! Yes, my friends, you need to know how to use those people creatively… I dropped a line here and there about the camera, and I said “oh, look how much they love my camera, how cute they are with it!” Need I say more?
Behold!

It was sold out in stores, so we got it on ebay. The 2 year old is obsessed with it… he has taken out about 200 photos thus far… The 4 year old likes it, but is waiting for some “cool things” to take photos of!
Totally recommend this product, kids ages 3 to 6 will enjoy it!

Great for ages 4 and up (maybe even younger, depending on the child, I mean, my 2 year old also enjoys it with his brother)...
This site had the best phonics games and activities I have ever seen, it is a great resource for teachers, homeshooling moms, and even just regular moms (ummm, me).
My friend, Sabzari, who is a teacher introduced it to us, and since then my eldest has been referring to it as “his” website… (I think because he hears me saying “my” website a lot)
Use and enjoy!!, Starfall
