Kids, as we know, have sharp memories. After a few replays of Bible lessons on YouTube, Nate has familiarized the Genesis story about Noah and the Ark. So we filmed a video of him retelling that story (before he forgets about it, lol). We hope you like it! Comment below to boost Nate’s confidence in …

Nate’s Quarantine 6th Birthday Celebration
Nate turned six 2 weeks ago, 2020’s overspeeding! Just a few weeks from now and we’re halfway through the year. This COVID19 made the time fly even much faster. When ECQ was announced in Bataan, I somehow knew it would last long. That means, no graduation rites and possibly no birthday celebration at the beach …
Kindergarten Preparation Tips that Might Help You
Earlier today, we were at the school we were eyeing for Nate to enroll in Kindergarten. This is it – Nate is going to school already! For two years, I’ve been teaching him at home from time to time and since he’s turning 5 next month, he’s ready (or he should be ready) to go …
Our Informal Homeschooling Update
In my previous post, I talked about us deciding to delay enrolling Nate in a school for another year and just do informal homeschooling for the last year that he’s exclusively ours. So far, our so-called homeschooling is going fine. We spend 30 mins to 1 hour every Mondays to Fridays for this. I call it …
Happy 4th Birthday, Nate! ♥
Dear Nate, How do I feel about your birthday? I feel happy and sad at the same time. Happy and proud for all the milestones you achieved this year and sad that you’re slowly growing up. Every time I think about you becoming a teen and starting to feel that your mama is “baduy”, I …
Top 5 Advice to First-time Moms
A few days ago, I got a message from my Facebook Page from an expectant mommy asking for an advice as she’s a first-time mom. I gave her my #1 advice which is “rest as much as you can” (and a few more). I couldn’t stop thinking of her so I thought “how can I …
Parents Get Up (No Matter What)
Last week was challenging for me. I was sick almost every day. I’m glad I am now healed and can go back to doing the things I love to do. Sunday last week, I had dysmenorrhea around the time I was teaching Sunday School in our youth department. I haven’t had dysmenorrhea in a long …
Ano ang Tandem Nursing?
Dahil ang Agosto ay Buwan ng Wika at Buwan ng Pagpapasuso, ako ay nagbabalik para sa isang madugong bakbakan upang mairaos ang isang blog post na Filipino, gaya na lamang ng post ko noong nakaraang taon. 🙂 Ano nga ba ang tandem nursing? Hindi ko pa ito nasubukan dahil isa lamang ang anak ko at …
The Little Ice Cream Worker
This was supposed to be just an add-on to my previous post about Nate’s Kidzooona experience. But I realized the post is loaded with photos already. So, instead, I decided to create a separate post about a short story of a young ice cream worker. This is inspired by Nate’s happiness when he was in …
Nate’s Kidzooona Experience
Last Saturday, we were in Eastwood in Libis, QC for a birthday celebration (belated happy 1st birthday, Mikhail!). I was thankful I got invited because it was our first time in a long time to be back in Eastwood. The last time we were there was in February 2015 when Nate was still a baby.It …
