The First Year of my Baking Quest

Last Sunday, my daughter Eu-La celebrated her 4th birthday. We had a simple celebration for her special day.  I bought her a balloon, and we dined at a restaurant. A month before her birthday, she asked if she could have a pink cake and requested another Barbie cake like the one from last year. I told her I would create a new cake design for her. She inspired me to learn how to bake and design cakes.

Tips In Finding Beautiful Mom's Dresses Online:

Collection of Best Memories

One reason I enjoy blogging is that it allows me to maintain an online collection of the best memories I've shared with my family.  I want these beautiful moments to be posted here so that my children can look back on them when they grow up. They may be very young now and might not remember everything I and their dad have done for them, but this blog will certainly help them understand what their childhood was like.

We have completed our first year of homeschooling.  It was not easy, but we will continue.  The children are not yet enrolled for this school year due to financial reasons.  We chose to obtain our curriculum from SOT. This situation is not a reason to skip our classes every day.  It is easier to teach children when they can relate what they have learned from books to the real world.  This highlights the importance of taking children on field trips.  The road can be a child's classroom.

Candy Crush Themed Party

We're used to hosting children's parties since we conduct this event at our church once every month.  What challenges us is coming up with a theme for the entire program.  We could simply create a typical classroom setup, having them recite Bible verses and teach Bible stories, then feed them, but that would be boring.  I am not only focused on enjoyment, as that should not be my primary motive, but rather on sharing with these children the love of God.

Children can learn and comprehend more when we use illustrations they can easily relate to. With just one week left, we were still clueless about our party theme.  Last week, I planned a cake design requested by a friend - a candy crush-themed cake.  The first photo above shows my finished product.  I downloaded the game and played it to get an idea of what the game...

My Birthday Celebration - Late Post

I seem to let the days pass by without realizing that my birthday is fast approaching.  Text messages starting as early as the first week, along with emails and some people, remind me that my birthday is near, yet it doesn't spark any thrill or excitement.   Is it a sign that I am aging?

E-card from Nestle

Something's wrong with me; I know and feel it. I can't exactly tell what it is. Lately, I've felt too sensitive, stuck, lonely, and as if I'm losing some self-worth. There are times when I feel like bursting with anger. What's worse is that I feel no one is there to understand and help me anyway.

My Favorite Household Tools

We are all glad that pakner4lyf is back from his mission trip. He arrived on his birthday, July 28. Although I may now be relieved from taking care of the car, which reduces my daily responsibilities, I feel like I have more to do since he returned. I had some important paperwork for the bakeshop that I needed to work on. Instead of writing posts for this blog during my free time, I chose to join my children in playing Minion Rush. My children and I love Despicable Me, you know!

 

I get to finish every household chore one at a time. Since I am still breastfeeding our youngest son, who is now 18 months old, and the fact that household chores will never come to an end.
