Review: Education.Com – A Fun Website For Parents & Kids!

Good morning!

Over the past couple of weeks, we’ve sort of begun looking out for schools for Ms.G. She would be starting Kindergarten next year and the application processes begin by the end of this year. I was one of those kids who loved going to school. Both my parents were working in 9-5 jobs and it used to get really boring to sit at home by myself the whole day. So I definitely looked forward to going to school every day and would often wait eagerly for the summer holidays to end soon!

Local Attraction Review: Al Noor Island

If there is one place in the UAE, where you can almost forget that you are in a desert, even if you sit outside and close your eyes, that has got to be Al Noor Island in Sharjah. This lovely little island is so cool and calm, filled with a wide variety of trees and plants which lend a naturally lush and verdant feel to it. This green vegetation attracts a lot of birds and it is delightful to hear them all twittering and chattering away to their heart’s content. Combine this with water gently lapping on the shore and you have a perfect slice of paradise under your feet!

Local Attraction Review: Mattel Play! Town

I had reviewed Green Planet in City Walk sometime back on this blog. When my daughter and I were visiting Green Planet, I noticed another placed called Mattel Play! Town in City Walk, which also seemed like an interesting place for kids. I made a mental note to visit it some other day. I came back home and did some googling about this new place and read a lot of good stuff about it as a result of which I decided to include it in my mommy bucket list.

A few weeks later, Cobone, the super awesome deals website in the UAE was running a competition and I happened to win! Yay! Thanks Cobone!

Local Attraction Review: Green Planet

I’ve been hearing some good stuff about Green Planet located in CityWalk Dubai for the past few months. It had been on my wish list for a few weeks and one cloudy March morning I decided to check them out along with Ms.G.

CityWalk itself is a pretty gorgeous neighbourhood without a doubt. The broad and spacious sidewalks, the clean and wide roads, the chic restaurants lining the streets and the fashionable crowd milling about – it’s quite a lovely sight indeed.
