Villa Escudero Day Tour

We are glad to have our children being homeschooled; this gives us the freedom to take trips more often and to schedule them freely, even on weekdays. Homeschooling has provided us with an opportunity to save extra money for these activities, and it is cheaper to travel during weekdays without having to deal with large crowds.

A day full of celebrations...

My Jewelry Crafts

A Bright Sunny Day

I am so happy to finally see the sun this morning after Typhoon Glenda.  Up until today, I am still loaded with a lot of clean-ups because of the typhoon.  Seeing the rising sun early this morning and feeling its warmth suddenly reminded me that it's a great opportunity to have our beds and pillows exposed to the sun.  I never thought I would miss the sun this much.
