Free Printables!!! >>> One of my favorite things to do in our homeschool is going on field trips with our children. We have become a bit more intentional in turning every trip into something educational. Educational — in the sense that we all learn something and retain some information from the experience. One of the […]
Despacito was playing one day and I little girl was dancing along to it. I was enthralled by it all. The words were pretty catchy and the music has a cool rhythm to it. I Youtubed it and learned the song in an hour. It was fun twisting my tongue to some Spanish I knew nothing […]
Many years ago, it was ‘normal’ to see children play in the streets or in the backyard on their own. I know what it’s like and how fun it was because I grew up in the Philippines a few decades ago where free play was just a part of growing up. Horrible stories about black […]

Third, I am in for my second year of the 31-day challenge (Write 31 Days). Another Yay! Fourth: I chose “homeschooling” as my topic/category for the next 31 […]
What’s good about my childhood in the 1980s was the weather because it did not matter if the sun was blaring hot or it was raining cats and dogs, my siblings and I and our friends were always playing outside. The only thing that could stop us from going out at that time was the threat […]
