* This app is engaging and interactive and I love that we can also touch the objects in each page on the screen and the words pop out to tell you what it is!

* I used the opportunity from this app to also educate our 5.5 years old boy and 3 years old girl on how each type of construction site vehicles work, I'm very happy to see them engrossed with the animation of the construction site vehicles on how it works!

* There are options to go to other pages instead of going through one by one.

Goodnight, Goodnight, Construction Site

* I like that there is an option to use new narrator's voice (aka me!)

* Overall an educational and fun app for the kiddos while learning about construction site vehicles!

Sponsored Video: Horlicks School Journey Initiative

Do you know that 57 million children around the world have no access to education? Millions of children who stay in remote places (high up in the mountains, way deep in the jungle or so on) are practically cut off from schools.

Horlicks announces the launch of the "Horlicks School Journey Initiative (HSJI)" programme recently. It is an ambitious new programme to help champion the cause of addressing children’s lack of access to education to ensure they can reach their full potential.

Horlicks believes that every child, no matter where they are in the world, is born with unique talents and abilities. By nourishing their potential, they will have a better chance of living a self-reliant and fulfilling life and for this, access to education is a fundamental part of this journey.

The "Horlicks School Journey Initiative" partners with communities and NGOs to help address the challenges which prevent children from gaining access to an education.

Go check out this video now and help to spread awareness of such causes across Malaysia!

Add An Apple Before Preparing Soup

If you are planning to venture into soup making recipes, read up on my post today where I share a personal tip of mine on how to make our soup tastes sweeter.

You can prepare the ingredients for the soup you plan to make as usual, just that, at the final step, to add in an apple, peeled, cored and sliced into smaller chunks and start cooking the soup.
