{Thankful Today} – Family and Good Music

Dominique Parenting and Kids, Thoughts Thankful Today

The past week we were having lots of fun over at Phuket, Thailand. We flew there for a short family vacation and the kids and I really loved the place. We try to go on family vacations twice a year so that the kids can get the chance to spend more time with their dad who is always flying around. The kids enjoyed swimming everyday and were really excited when saw the private pool that came with the hotel room. They could practically jump into the pool from the bedroom !!

It was a great bonding time for everyone and we had fun visiting various places of interest and playing in theme parks. We didn’t really got around to eating much Thai food as the kids were not able to handle the spicy Thai foods and opted for western or Japanese instead. The boys loved the water theme park- Splash Jungle much that they are asking to go back there soon. It had been fun week and we are looking forward to our next family holiday to Malaysia.

This week I am featuring Chinese X’mas songs.

Not the Usual Christmas Trees

The Oreo Tree

It’s the month of advent and in a few weeks time it will be Christmas. Many shopping centres and places of attraction have already put up their Christmas decorations. While out with the kids we spotted these innovative Christmas trees. I certainly don’t mind having one of these alternative trees instead of the traditional Christmas tree at home.

This will certainly be a great tree to take down after Christmas or take apart during the Christmas party 🙂 I can see that it will certainly be a hit with the kids who surely can’t wait to sink their teeth into the tasty chocolate.

A tree for the non-cook. I’m sure collage students would be extremely happy to receive such a Christmas tree. Anytime the students are hungry and needed a quick meal they just need to peel the layers off the tree for a snack.

What would your ideal Christmas Tree be like?
