Before the lockdown, our family used to move around a lot. You’ll barely see the kids working on their academics at home. We like to do things and learn about things in person. In fact, one of the things that we miss a lot is being able to visit museums to learn about different stories and histories. We’ve heard of virtual museum tours when the Pandemic hit, but we haven’t had the chance to check them out. What we did get to see was the virtual tour of the Great Wall of China which my 11-year old has been wanting […]
GIVEAWAY: The Learning Library Launches Wika’y Galing! Program Online
Winners have been announced! My kids have attended two summers of The Learning Library Filipino Wika’s Galing! program and they enjoyed both sessions very much, especially the classes they had in BGC just last year. While my kids are not yet eloquent in the language, they have vastly improved in terms of comprehension, the results of which show in their Filipino academic modules. (READ: Wika’y Galing at The Learning Library) What TLL does for your kids is that it breaks the wrong perception and mindset on learning the language.

Hearty Bread for Healthier Options
I first heard of Hearty Bread from a diet group in Facebook. The company was advertising their Ezekiel bread which was made of Almond flour.

I came across a post about the Ezekiel bread by Michelle Huertas of Trendspotting a few months later and decided to ask her about it. Luckily for me, she decided to send me a whole basket of Hearty Bread to try. It was Christmas come […]

Highly Recommended: Superbook Season 4 on ABS CBN
”My God is not weak!’‘ David says indignantly right before his sword went down on Goliath’s neck, marking the giant’s defeat. This scene was part of A Giant Adventure episode from Superbook which I received a copy of from Superbook and CBN Asia. I’ve always loved the story of David. His is a story of a true worshiper of God who leaned on Him and walked His purpose. I wasn’t able to go to the Media Conference because of a conflict with my kids’ schedule, but Superbook has always been my favorite since I was a child. It was one […]
