This is how busy February has been especially in the morning. All these tasks are happening at the same time; online class for my youngest, finishing orders, studying, snacks, and more. Afternoon has a different story of its own. New Mom When I first became a mom, I was overwhelmed with the tasks a mom… Read More
While we were playing, I was reminded of how kids learn better when playing because they are more relaxed and not under pressure.
When the pandemic started, schools had to adjust to different set-ups for classroom.

While preparing to sleep, my second son excitedly stood up and started a very interesting conversation: Migs: I have an idea!!! Daddy, when you and mommy are old, I will invent a tripod with a button. If you press the button, you will see all the happy memories!!! Jacob: I want to order one! Marcus:… Read More
