kids in doodles: my new sketchpad


time for yet another kids in doodles + i hope you’re all ready this week with your share! 🙂

my tita jinky went to the bookstore last week + look what she got for me! a really nice looking sketchpad. she noticed that i have recently been very interested in drawing + suggested i doodle on an actual sketch pad instead of my magic slate. i think it is a good idea since i can get to keep a copy of my drawings  this time around as all my masterpieces drawn on the magic slate can never be saved. 

i cannot wait to use my new sketchpad + draw my favorite subjects these days, the teenage mutant ninja turtles! i know am still a long way from drawing the turtles real good, but nothing a lot of practice cannot accomplish, right? so i will just keep on drawing + i do hope you wish me luck!

your turn! do not forget to link up with us so we can see your awesome doodles! have a great week ahead!  :Bye:

How to Stay Safe on Your Motorcycle

cars + other vehicles, guest post, grown up stuff

Whether you have had a motorcycle for a while or you are the proud new owner of one, it’s important that you take your riding seriously. When someone is in an accident while riding a motorcycle, the damage to the rider is often extreme. Safety should always come first. There are some things you can do in order to stay as safe as possible while riding. Here are a few of them, including looking into great products by UClear.

Wear Protective Gear

First and foremost, you should always wear protective gear. These things can save your life. The most important piece is your helmet. There are many different types of helmets, but there are ones that are specific for motorcycle riding. Be sure that you don’t try to save yourself money by going with a different style or none at all. They make many different kinds that you can choose from, so you can get a style that looks great on you. You should never be caught without one. You should also consider wearing protective goggles or glasses. When you are driving on the freeway, you are going at extreme speeds. You wouldn’t want something to fly into your eyes, causing you to not be able to see.

Learn Riding Etiquette

You should also learn riding etiquette. There are certain signals and signs that a rider can do to help those around him know what he plans to do. You can learn the hand motions for turning and other things. These things can help when you are in heavy traffic or if your lights aren’t working. You can never be too careful on your bike.

Hands-Free Talk

As dangerous as using a phone is while driving a car, it is even more dangerous while riding a motorcycle. Luckily there are companies like UClear that help you to be able to use your phone without causing you to be unsafe. They have systems that install directly into your helmet so all you have to do is answer a call using a voice activated feature, and you can talk on your phone without having to do a thing. This allows you to focus on the road while using the phone at the same time.

Jared Quips

With the alarming rate of motorcycle-related road accidents, it really is wise to take the necessary precautions while you are out on the streets. Make sure you give it your 100% attention and keep the distractions to a minimum. You might be an ace driver, but you will never know where + when accidents will rise, so it is ideal that you pay undivided attention to driving while you are out on the road. + do not forget to keep these nifty tips in mind! :Approve:

kids in doodles: my very first valentines card

kids in doodles, pre-schooler, preschooler's work

writing, reading + learning are not the only cool stuff we do at my new playschool/tutorial place, we also make cute stuff on special occasions, like this cool card i made for valentine’s day! mum is a sucker for anything hand-written or hand-drawn, especially if they were made by me, so am sure she especially loved this card!  :Valentine-s-Day:

kids in doodles, pre-schooler, preschooler's work

one of my teachers at playschool, teacher pam, helped me in making this card so i can give it to mum + dad. since i am not yet very good at writing letters, she helped me write the words in front of the card, as well as those inside. i was the one who chose the colors of crayons to choose for the “i love you mommy and daddy” bit. i was also the one who colored that red heart in front of the card.

apart from writing that sweet message, i also drew this picture of me + my parents inside the card. i also made sure to draw my  bib, can you see it in the picture? i also doodled our home + wrote our names in there. i know i need more practice with drawing so i might be able to do a better version of us!  i gave this card to mum on valentine’s day after my class was over. i also showed it to dad when he got home a few days after.  based from their wide smiles, i’m guessing they liked my little work!

did you make or bought something for your parents on valentine’s? share those here at kids in doodles + let’s have a grand time checking out each other’s valentine’s gifts.

:Love-Letter:
