Blessings for 2021 & Lessons from 2020

Well, well, well... Can you believe it? 2021 is here! And the last time I wrote a blog post, COVID-19 had just started to wreak havoc in the world. When I wrote about how to make an act of spiritual communion back then, I had no idea that the community quarantine or lockdown here in … Continue reading Blessings for 2021 & Lessons from 2020

With God, All Things Are Possible

It's been a while since I've "been here." Preparations for the Philippine Homeschool Conference 2016, plus my usual responsibilities as a wife and mother, writer and editor, etc. have kept me busy. Too busy, at times, to the point where I felt there were so many "impossibles" in my day to day. I found myself drawing … Continue reading With God, All Things Are Possible

#KeepingItReal: The Truth About Being A Pregnant, Work-at-Home, Homeschooling Mom

I honestly don't know how to begin this post. I actually had to change the post title a few times, because I wasn't even sure about what I want to write about. To tell you the truth, when October started, I thought I'd be able to update this blog more often... even if it was … Continue reading #KeepingItReal: The Truth About Being A Pregnant, Work-at-Home, Homeschooling Mom

READ, WATCH and REFLECT: Your Trials Can Become Your Treasures

It's already the middle of August, and I can NOT believe how quickly time has been flying by! Pretty soon, it will be September, and everyone knows that the "-ber" months whiz by fast, often in a frenzied flurry in preparation for Christmas! (I know you know what I mean! 😉 ) Our family experienced … Continue reading READ, WATCH and REFLECT: Your Trials Can Become Your Treasures

There Are No Perfect Mothers

I lie in bed sandwiched between my children, quietly shedding tears. I recall the events of the day (week!) that has passed. I cry in shame for all the times I have been a “monster mom” to my children, and a grumpy, complaining, “disobedient” wife to my husband. I think about the “mission” that I believe God … Continue reading There Are No Perfect Mothers

50 Days of Amazing Grace is an annual series {of short, to-the-point posts} that aims to inspire and empower you to live as an ‘Easter person,’ i.e. one who is joyful and ‘sent forth’ to proclaim the wonder of Jesus’ Resurrection.

What I Struggle With Every Day

Yesterday, I posted this on my Facebook page:   I wanted to remind myself that my life — this "truly rich" life I claim to have now — only exists because of His grace. I have actually been meaning to write a post about just how dirty and muddy my life used to be. I'll get around … Continue reading What I Struggle With Every Day

Word-filled Wednesdays: Lessons on Forgiveness

Last Sunday, we were blessed to have been able to attend The Feast at PICC. The kids LOVE going to PICC, and it is always great to worship God together with thousands of other people there, through the Sacrifice of the Holy Mass and the session afterwards, composed of worship and a talk. It had … Continue reading Word-filled Wednesdays: Lessons on Forgiveness

Word-filled Wednesdays: Casting Our Cares Upon Him

I have a confession to make. (Yes, another one. I know I've made these before, so please bear with me.) I was a bit emotional on Monday morning while we were having our family prayer time, before my husband left for work — I started tearing up in the middle of our prayer, causing our … Continue reading Word-filled Wednesdays: Casting Our Cares Upon Him
