Ending is the beginning of another

Child, Parenting, Preschool, School-study

Yeah! My countdown to the school holidays have ended! Yet its the beginning of another countdown to something else….

Today is the last day of Keatkeat’s Kindergarten 1 life. In less than 2 months time, he will be in K2 and my dear little rooster, Binbin will be in nursery!!! Awesome!

Hence, I’ll be having 2 hours of complete me-time without any guilt that they are in the hands of another who just might not be that willing to take care of them! *laugh*

I seemed like I couldn’t wait to get rid of my boys eh? *laugh* Nah….not so much of that, but all mommies know how precious me-time is, especially those full-time SAHM like me.

Not going to be long winded today, just want to get the point across that I’m so happy that the school holidays are here; meaning everyone get to sleep a couple of hours more! That is superb for sleeping queen like me! *wink* At the same time, I’m looking forward to what is to come in one and half month’s time, where my dear 3year old Binbin leave his toddler-hood and become a pre-kindergartener…Yeah!

Happy School Holidays to all the Kids who are enjoying this relaxing period! Have loads of fun!!! :)

The Best Places to Raise Your Kids

Child, Parenting

Was browsing the net and saw this report provided by Business Week.

Here’s the highlights:-

We then narrowed the list of towns using the following weighted criteria: school performance; number of schools; household expenditures; crime rates; air quality; job growth; family income; museums, parks, theaters, and other amenities; and diversity.

We weighted school performance and safety most heavily, but also gave strong weight to amenities and affordability.

Bear in mind with this list, the organizing principle was affordability.

While the median household income varies by state, we purposely weighted the results to prevent pricing out most readers.

That’s why, for example, Greenwich, Conn., with its good private schools, low crime, and abundance of cultural amenities, was left out. It simply costs too much to live there….

…..So, read on to find out which are the best places to raise your kids in every state.

Who knows? You might already live there.

Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California,  Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa.

Want to know why the above are the Selected Ones? Go read the breakdown for each country here… For me, I would LOVE to stay in Hawaii!
