Jed’s photobook
- by
After having lost a lot of photos during typhoon Ondoy last year, we have come to treasure and properly label pictures that we were able to save, digital or otherwise. Last month, I showed my son the photobook I made and he was thrilled. We loved leafing through the pages, as digital as it is. I recently received a notice that the photobook is on its way here. Meanwhile, allow me to share with your a few pages of it.

The homeschooler in a pirate costume

After checking out a couple of malls, this is all we could get a hold of for last week’s children’s birthday party our son attended at Bubba Gump Restaurant in Makati. The theme was pirates.
My Top 10 Emerging Influential Blogs for 2010
- by
Top 10 Emerging Influential Blogs writing project is now on its 4th year. The goal is to identify new and emerging blogs who are making an impact to its readers in 2010. Blogs that are qualified to be on the list are those that started anytime from March 1, 2009 to the present.
Here is my list of Top 10 Emerging Influential Blogs for 2010:
1. Christian Homeschooler – an attempt to journal bits and pieces of our family’s homeschooling journey. I am a licensed teacher by profession but deviated to staying at home to be able to homeschool our 4 year old son (he’s 5 now) and work from home at the same time.
2. Gadgets and Tech – a blog where you can read about the latest on gadgets and just about every tech. Yes, this is my husband’s tech blog and he recently just raffled off a Samsung mobile and a Power Mac GC worth P2, 000. We will be meeting up with the winner this weekend! 
Homeschoolers, beware of Omegle.com
- by
As a homeschooling family, I admit to the benefits of the internet when it comes to finding good resources about homeschooling. But there are quite a number of sites that we should all be made aware of. Like Omegle.com, for instance. It is a chat site that encourages people of all ages (no restricition, there is even no need to register) to talk to strangers. The exact thing that we have been taught when we were little not to do and the very thing that we right now, as parents prohibit our children to do.
Geek in the making
- by
Right from his initiative to start school a week before the school year officially started or even before that – when he will go over his previous lessons and request for a review during summer vacation, I really think my husband and I have a geek in the making in this little child of ours. Not that it’s bad. I love that he initiates and loves learning so much to want to bury himself in it instead of spending hours on end playing on the game consoles.
School time is crunch time
- by
Gone are the days that I can care less about school year opening. Now that we have to “send” this little guy to school, expenses are inevitable. Although we are paying so much less than if we actually have him attend a regular school, it’s still money that we have to prepare for.
Teacher Mama’s Lady Rouge: A blessing
- by
My husband and I have been praying for years for a better running car. The Lord has been graciously providing us with extra income from online campaigns and jobs until we were able to have the old 1989 Nissan California hatchback that we have been using for years, repaired two years ago. We did have to face the fact that it is long due for retirement when the repairs that it would constantly need would end up using up our savings.
Adjusting back to our homeschool routine
- by
I just found out today that the materials for the curriculum that we will be using in the next three months – ABCs with Ace and Christi is now ready for pick up. We will be going to the office in the next couple of days to pick them up.
Missions trip to Africa
- by
I am currently conditioning my son’s mindset for the upcoming missions trip my husband is leaving for in exactly one week from now. My boys are each other’s best friend. There is never a day that they don’t spend time playing and do random things together. (save for the few times that my husband has to take care of ministry stuff that require him to spend time out of town or come home rather late)
Happy 5th birthday, Jed!
- by
My FB status update for the day: Happy 5th birthday, Jed! 5 years ago today I gave birth via lamaze/bradley method to a tiny 3kg., 48 cm. boy after more than 24hrs of labor! Look how big you are now! You’ve been such a blessing all these years to not just me and your papa, but to our love ones and friends as well. We’re proud of you! I love you my son!
