If you have known me for a while, you might know I am a big fan in raising self-reliant and independent children.

I recently came to know about TinyPrints.com (affiliate link) and I straightaway fell in love with the card printing company.
Not because it was the first company of such nature I had seen but I just love the designs they offer. They are cute, lively, lovely, and most of all, stunning.
Tiny Prints has every card for every occasion: holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving, birthday cards and invitations, baby showers, anniversary, etc. [Read more…]

You can use it for many things: transport, retail shops, parking, etc. This is a must-have even for Hong Kong people. You are advisable to get one when you are in Hong Kong. [Read more…]
