Planting with Kids

by Gilian, in category Family, Reflections

“Why don’t you just buy vegetables? It is cheaper and it won’t take too much of your time.” I do buy veggies, but this why we plant:😅 “It has been four days and my seed has not grown yet!” My second son said in frustration and hopelessness. “Well, when you sow something, it will grow,… Read More

Sewing, Pursuing, and Singing

by Gilian, in category Family, Thoughts

I just sew my second son’s black teddy bear this morning. It has been torn for quite some time now and I thought that maybe delaying to fix it could change his mind and maybe he would agree on buying another one, I wish! 😂 I remember when I was still teaching, students would ask… Read More

Mammatus Clouds + Life Talk

by Gilian, in category Family, Jeddah, Thoughts, Wonders

The days became busy and until now, I am partly clueless of how to train kids, how to give that what’s best, and that is okay because it’s one of the major reasons why I had to devote time to seek God everyday for guidance and strength for the day.
