Homeschool: We’re back in action with homeschooling. We kick off our home school last week but ended up changing our schedules to start in the afternoon. It worked out better for all of us. Our Tinkerbell (G) is now ready for 3rd grade and Mr. C is now in Kindergarten. He’s also turning 6 […]

Our boxes from Manila came. 12 of them (we still have the other 10 in Manila).

The other day,

We started this week our summer homeschool. Our kids both took a break for about 2+ months since we arrived in the Philippines and it has been a great time for them to get assimilated with the culture, spend time with our family in Manila and learn some basic language here and there. We got

The Boulevard Children’s Church meets every Saturday at Rizal Blvd. We started the service with praise songs. The crowd were composed on children and their parents from nearby barangay (village). We met some kids
