Family Outing at Happy Ripples Beach Resort

Pangasinan province is a frequent destination for the family as it is the hometown (Mapandan) of my mother-in-law. An invitation for a relative’s 50^th birthday brought my father-in-law the idea to maximize the trip by going to the beach as well. 

Since after office hours on a Friday was our common schedule, we left Taguig at 2am on a Saturday. Thanks to the TPLEX (Tarlac-Pangasinan-La Union Expressway), our travel time was shorter.

Beginning Reading

Our five-year old Senior Kinder is challenged by his Reading subject. His lesson right now is reading three-letter words. I want to help him in his learning journey. After all, parents are children’s first teachers. 

I believe that learning, to be effective, should not be forced to keep up with the curriculum. He should learn at his own pace and he should enjoy learning. That is why I previously considered home schooling. I had to give up that option though as I am working full-time.
