Two Saturdays ago, the family together with my sister went to Laiya White Cove in San Juan Batangas for a day trip at the beach! We were not sure what sort of weather was waiting for us since it has been rainy the whole week. Thankfully, we were blessed with a sunny day at the beach. It took us about two and a half hours to reach our destination from Sta Rosa Laguna.

It is truly a wonderful way to intentionally create memories with our children! Spontaneous family outings are great way to build memories! The kids had fun playing with the very fine sand and swimming in the clean sea! The price of the food was also quite affordable, and even the entrance fee was reasonable. The adults had as much fun soaking in the sea! I can’t wait for our next trip back there.

Do you have a recent moment you wanted to share with us?

Mommy Moments – School Year Ends

Today was the portfolio review day of my daughter for her 4th quarter work. We went to TMA (The Master’s Academy) Homeschool Office in Ortigas and the academic consultant assigned to us interviewed her for almost an hour. My daughter was very excited and proud of her work. But I was thrilled with what the consultant told me, she was really glad because my daughter is now more confident and she has seen an improvement in her. She also noted that my daughter is learning and growing Character wise. I couldn’t be more happier to know that she is growing, thriving, learning and enjoying homeschool!

It was my son’s assessment day too. It was his first interview and assessment. I am glad that he did well too! Though there are still areas we need to improve on but the consultant was satisfied with his performance as well. I am truly glad to see that after one school year, my son can now read CVC words and he is pretty good in Math!

Homeschooling this year hasn’t been easy as I have to adjust our schedules since we are now homeschooling 2 kids. There were days that it is difficult to start “school” but thankfully with the grace of God, they did learn, they did have fun and we all grew together.

Congratulations kids! Mommy is proud of you!

Last Saturday, we were invited to Krispy Kreme’s store opening here in the South of the metro – just in time for its 75th birthday! The store is located at The Street, at Alabang Town Center’s new wing.

A big milestone for this store is that it is the first store with the Baked Creations Theater in Metro Manila. As a store with the “Baked Creations Theater,” Krispy Kreme will be able to serve the brand’s signature Baked Creations fresh from the oven, everyday. In addition, it will also dish up its full line of premium treats including its world-famous Original Glazed Doughnuts and Signature Coffee. It is also the first store to debut with the Krispy Kreme’s 75th birthday look!

The kids were pretty excited to decorate their donut and Krispy Kreme gave them a wonderful opportunity to do just that!

The whole family enjoyed our Krispy Kreme field trip day! If you are in Alabang Town Center, drop by Krispy Kreme. It opens its doors everyday at 7 in the morning and stays open until 11 in the evening.

Mommy Moments – Our Expo Kid Experience

Last Saturday, my ever supportive sister drove me and the kids to Mommy Mundo’s Expo Kid at the Rockwell Tent. I was excited since it will be my first time to attend Expo Kid.

We were excited to see the Fun Ranch inflatable slide greeting us at the entrance. We immediately proceeded to the registration area and got our map and lots of brochures and leaflets! Inside we were greeted by lots of people shopping around the different stalls. We were able to buy some unscented lotion for my sensitive skin and some toothbrushes for the kids! As we were going around the different stall, the kids got their tattoo for free!

We also saw many booths selling different items for the baby and the mommies. I didn’t see any titanium bracelet but I saw lots of fashion wear for mommy at Mommy Matters. There were also great items at Caleb’s Closet. I also saw some interesting handmade dolls by a mom!

My daughter also loved the Mad Science booth where they had some science fun stuff!

My son did well in Brain Fit’s balance challenge and it is quite interesting to learn that there are centers that specialize on the brain and how it works to help us achieve the best we can be

We also saw the HAPI (Homeschoolers Association of the Philippine Islands) booth. There were several people when we got there so we only checked out the portfolio samples on the tables and we were excited to know that HAPI is taking a more active approach in educating the people about homeschooling.

We also got to watch a ballet performance and saw several more interesting booths! Before heading out, we were also given free Mommy Pages. Of course, I also have with me several free parenting magazines and Urban Mom Magazine.

Congratulations to Mommy Mundo for a successful Expo Kid again this year!

Mommy Moments – Spritual Retreat

We recently attended a leader’s and wives retreat for our church. Hubby was the facilitator and teacher while I helped out in games and other support functions. We also brought our kids so they can enjoy the cool weather in Tagaytay. Here are some photos from that trip!
