Homeschooling lessons this month have been erratic. We weren’t able to keep to our regular schedule because it’s crunch time at work. The Studio where I work is shutting down on the 31st so we’ve been rushing to get all the orders done before then. To make up for the lack of organized lesson time, [...]

Today was a very special day. The Spawn and I were able to watch President Noynoy Aquino’s Inauguration via llive web streaming (Thank god for the internet!) AND we “celebrated” our first month of homeschooling!! He spent the whole day writing this very special blog entry summarizing everything he learned this month. Please head on [...]
The Spawn was excited for the Homeschool Headstart Bazaar held yesterday. He had all the crafts he made packed and ready to go and help me arrange all our merchandise on our table. We were able to get a great spot — A corner table to the right side of the bazaar facing the main [...]

When I was researching different homeschooling programs, GVS struck a chord with me because they are a secular school but they stress the importance [...]
I just found out about this local homeschooling get-together. Unfortunately, it might be late for me to change my schedule to attend but hopefully the Spawn and I can join similar activities in the future and get to know other homeschooling families.

More on why I chose this particular homeschooling program in a future post. Although he would be issued, US report cards which will be accepted at any regular school here and [...]
This is it. I am going to be a homeschooling teacher mama. I am going to re-envision this blog to chronicle the homeschooling journey of me and my Spawn. This is a huge step for us. Until last week, I was set on him beginning the school year at a new school which follows the [...]
