Those who know me will know that I am a huge supporter of doing transactions online because the bulk of my time is spent on my laptop. Thus, I am pleased to introduce a homegrown Malaysian photo retail site called eoe online.
Though it is a norm in the UK to have photos printed online, it is still not a popular trend in Malaysia. Nevertheless, with the increasing rate of people going online, I foresee this service will soon become a firm favourite among many. Afterall, it’s convenient and time saving to do everything from the comfort of your home.
All you need to do is sign up for an account, upload the photos and order your print sizes as well as quantity. With the current promotion of 4R print at only RM0.30 and free delivery* for orders above RM35.00, this is definitely a wonderful deal that should not be missed.
Head over to eoe online and check it out for yourself. While you are there, do try out their Free and Functional Online Photo Album service to Store & Share your photos too!

Since we got the Sweet Pea 3 MP3, my son has been bringing it to bed with him each night as he gets to listen to songs as well as bed time stories which I had downloaded from the web. Nothing beats the bonding time when you read bedtime stories to your child but at times when we are too tired, these audio stories are a great help.
Here are two great sites which I would like to recommend for FREE children audio stories:
-
www.storynory.com - they have fairy tales, educational stories as well as junior stories
-
www.thestoryhome.com - my favourite as they have original stories that you can’t find elsewhere. I even like the presentation of the site itself - very welcoming to the eyes of a child
If you know of other similar sites, please feel free to share them here.
If you have often worried whether your child is safe while buckled up with the car seatbelt and riding in his booster seat, your worries are not unfounded. Children in booster seats are actually at risk of injury and death due to seatbelt slack (looseness). A loose seatbelt allows a child in a booster seat to bounce around, rock, tip, slide, and even fall over during normal vehicle maneuvering, which can result in injuries.
That’s the reason why I’m using the SeatSnug to ease my worry. With the SeatSnug, I can lightly tighten the lap belt around my five year old child’s hips while she rides comfortably in a vehicle. Thus, preventing seatbelt slack and eliminates bouncing, rocking, tipping, falling over, submarining, and ejection. Best of all, my child does not complain as it also improves stability and comfort.
SeatSnug incorporates the unique race track proven, crash tested, and patented CG-Lock®, which received The National Parenting Center’s Seal of Approval as a unique car safety device that stabilizes children in booster seats to increase child safety and comfort. SeatSnug is a CG-Lock technology product designed specifically for children, to provide peace of mind to Moms and Grandmoms, while they drive children around.
BUY IT : Retailing at $34.95 per unit, SeatSnug is definitely a worthy buy to give you a peace of mind! You can also visit www.seatsnug.com/videos/how-to-install to watch the video on installation.
