A Space to Just Be

We survived our first year as a homeschooling family, woohoo! Before we took the plunge last July 2017, I remember following the advice of homeschooling mom Donna Pangilinan-Simpao, as written in her blog and I quote item # 1, 1. The first thing I’d like for you to do is to create a solid foundation for your homeschooling. Create a Mission – Vision – Purpose for your homeschooling journey. Take time to draft this with your spouse/ partner and children. Roy was hesistant at first because we were clear naman daw but still, I persisted and now, he got surprised that we have a mission-vision. 😂 Anyway, here's what we drafted last July 14, Mission: That as Isay grows through life, she understands that the knowledge and wisdom she seeks can be found through curiosity, persistence and working with others. Vision: That she becomes a self-directed learner. To launch an individual who is interdependent and can be self-sustaining. We have yet to update this after learn...

I think it was through one of the speakers in a business seminar where I learned about the "signature pose." As jet setters, he and his wife would document the landmarks that they visit through one pose and I found it cute. Of course, I'd also want to have that for my family. Hence the lab-na-lab-shot. It is a pose for 3 people where the one in the middle would be the receiver of a big (and ideally wet) kiss on both her cheeks from two people who love him/her so much. Of course, Isay would be the one in the middle. We have yet to figure out how we'll make it work when we become more than three in the family. #ingodsperfecttime :) I was all set last week to have the first 2 lab na lab photos printed and as if the Universe is reminding me to handle that, I saw this super cute photo on Facebook.  Get the concept? Presenting to you our lab na lab shots. :) Isay's 1st Birthday Isay's 2nd Birthday Masuki Date October 13, 2012 W...
