Description from the product page:

"Counting Ants is a great app for early learning - perhaps the best way to help your toddler practice counting to ten on the iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch. It's also a great way to introduce your kids to a foreign language. This app features adorable ants that zip around in their cars, while teaching kids the basics of counting in 10 languages. The app automatically rotates through five minigames to keep your toddler engaged while they learn to count.

Minigames include:
* Count the ducks
* Count the fish
* Count the fruit
* Count the train cars
* Find the number

The minigames and toddler-friendly interface make learning incredibly easy and fun. The scenes are fully interactive and simple for young children to control even if they don't yet know how to read."

What's good?

* It is engaging and interactive and I love the cute illustrations!

* I love the minigames as I think it definitely keeps the attention and interests since there are many different scenes to look at and played with.

* Ben enjoys this game as it has cars and trains in it (boyish genre, yes!) and this app will definitely be used again and again!

Room for Improvement?

* I would prefer if the number 7 is redesigned as it currently looks kind of like the number 1. My boy gets confused at times when he tries to look for these 2 numbers.

Product Review & Giveaway - Molecule Classic Congo Cargos

~ Posted on Sunday, June 10, 2012 at 12:00 PM ~

I stumbled upon a pitch by Molecule looking for bloggers to review their products and I replied them asking whether they are OK with international bloggers, and yay for me, they are happy to provide me a product of my choice from their website for my review! I immediately check out their products and finally settled on this: "Classic Congo Cargos in Sunset Shadow Grey":

Description from the product page:

"Classic Congo Cargos - you can dress them up AND take them anywhere! Casual cool with a bikini top or tank, yet the smooth straight lines also allow you to top them over with some sparkly wear for a classy after-hours look when it’s hot, hot, hot! These are a slightly looser-than-tight-tight fit, with faux-tortoiseshell plastic logo buttons holding the small side cargo pockets down.

* Sexy & funky short shorts
* Machine Washable, Tumble dry Friendly
* Perfect for Beach and Town
* Double stiched seams for strength
* Double mock-turtleshell logo button pocket closures
* Classic Molecule Logo
* External mock-turtleshell plastic button waist-adjuster
* Plastic logo stud button
* Strong metal zip fly

A button waist adjuster leaves it up to you whether to low-ride or practical-it-up! These have a very very low rise, if you don't have the bum of small boy then get a waist size up from your usual! These are most definitely not for plus-size figures! Please check your hip and waist measurements – the best way of checking fit is to compare the flatbelt and the front/back rise against similar clothes that fit you well."

The reason why I requested to review this cargos is because I desperately needed a new short pants for myself! And I'm so happy I get to review this!!! 

To begin with, I love the color I chose which is Sunset Shadow Grey, I find that it's easy to match with my tops or T-shirts which is what I'm usually wearing whenever we go out for our family outing.

I also love their side pockets as well! Such as ingenious idea! By side pockets I meant the cargo pants does not have any front or back pockets like what normal pants has, the Molecule Classic Congo Cargos pockets are located at the sides! I love being able to easily reached into the pockets to take out my stuff instead of needing to stand up to do so!

Next, this is the first time I encountered such creative idea on a clothing item! The cargo pants came with a button waist adjuster, which I can easily adjust the pants if it is too tight or too loose! Awesome!

What can I say about this cargo pants? Look at my happy face! I get excited when I have the chance to go out because that means I can wear the cargo pants! Yay!
