Inay Ko Po: Aubrey Miles & E-skwela

Monday, 31 August 2020


Despite the limited space in our home in the city, the kids and I decided to be more active in the garden recently when a miracle money plant grew in our plant box in the terrace out of nowhere.  It was a sign from the heavens. I don't have a black thumb despite my history of overwatering succulents. Something beautiful could grow out of dirt despite the sorrow of all the plants that died on me in the past.  It's therapeutic to see my plant dance in the window every morning while the birds chirp their song. I don't even know the type of birds we have here in our community but I'm amazed because they're even better than the birds that sing on Youtube!

Decluttering in Vain

Tuesday, 18 August 2020



We attempted to declutter earlier but I realized it's hard to let go of the things we saved for when we first learned we were having a baby.  I got too sentimental. I tried to shoo away the feeling.  Instead of putting the stuff in the warehouse or in the laundry area, I figured someone else should make better use of some of the baby furniture and toys.  My sister-in-law is having a new baby but I think they already have the stuff they need.  We don't have a lot of toys (compared to some of our friends) but we don't have that much space either.

MECQ Lessons

Tuesday, 11 August 2020


Our setup is far from ideal.  As the government banned travel for leisure this 2020, my kids & I have been on lockdown for several months.  With the absence of a babysitter, I couldn't leave even just for groceries unless hubby is back home from work.   Even when the government lifted measures for some time, it had been wise to remain inside.  We've been homeschooling even before the onset of Covid-19, but despite the normalcy of homeschool they're itching to get out and run outdoors.
