Philippine Homeschool Conference 2016: A Few Takeaways from Keynote Speakers

1 November 2016 No Comments

I have always been fascinated by the concept of homeschooling since I was a kid. Some of the kids in church that I played with were homeschoolers and the idea of staying at home and receiving education was considered awesome for someone who had gone to a traditional school. As I grew older, I have seen and learned more about homeschooling that had not only fascinated me but made me want to homeschool my kids in the future. So when I learned that there was a homeschool conference happening, I didn’t hesitate to sign up. So, on October 22, I woke […]

BlogBiz: A Blogging and Chika Workshop by Topaz Horizon

12 October 2016 No Comments

I have been thinking about revamping this blog for a long time now but I never found the time to sit down and make a plan. Well, I had some time, but I didn’t have enough knowledge of what I need to do and the proper tools to move forward. I tried reading a lot of How-Tos and knowing the available tools out there but given that there are so many (and I mean, soooo many) resources available online – both free and paid, it’s just not easy to decide which one applies to what I want to happen and which one doesn’t. That’s when I realized that I needed to get myself “trained” to learn the skills necessary for me to be able to plan and execute the changes I want to make. That sounded too corporate-y, don’t you think? In a nutshell, I need to learn from experts.

Chicdriven Women Empowerment Expo…

19 July 2016 No Comments

Last Saturday afternoon, we checked out the even happening in Glorietta. I saw the poster of Chicdriven Women Empowerment Expo in Facebook and was interested with the seminars they have scheduled. I was particularly interested in the Financial Wellness discussion as well as the Be Your Own Boss sessions, however, these were scheduled for Sunday and I was not available by then. (See previous post for the reason). Anyway, the registration was free and prior to entering the event area. Once attendees have registered, they are provided with a “passport” that needs to be signed by all the booths. Once every booth […]

Breastfeeding in a Modern World by Baby & Me

23 June 2016 No Comments

Last Saturday, Z and I attended another talk by Baby & Me of Mothercare in BGC. I am always on the look out for their talks because, even if Z is already almost turning 3, I find that there are still a lot of things that I pick up and learn from these talks. The talk was about breastfeeding which was conducted by Ms. Abbie Yabot. Ms. Abbie is a certified lactation counselor since 2007. She also has accreditation from La Leche League and is one of the leaders here in the Philippines. She is also a homeschooling advocate and conducted […]

Cleaning Essentials by Baby & Me

16 April 2016 No Comments

I just saw this event yesterday while browsing through Instagram. Since I haven’t really planned anything for this weekend, I decided to register and join the session. So, the topic was about Cleaning Essentials. Do you remember that trending news about sippy cups/training cups and the likes that were accumulating molds when they opened the lids? That’s where this talk came about. Especially for first time Moms, we are all obsessed about making sure that all our baby’s things are clean, sometimes, even cleaner than clean. From baby bottles, toys, clothes, even the surfaces that our babies will hold. So […]
