I call Breeze my little tourbillon–she’s always a whirlwind of energy zipping all around at full volume. One thing she does every single day, several times a day, is run from their room to our room, leaping over any obstacles, be it a couch, her sister’s wooden train setup, or the cat. Her finale is a […]

Review: Homeschool Planet
June 24, 2017 by Leave a Comment
I am a planner junkie. I have at any given moment at least two paper planners and a couple of apps that I use sporadically. However, I can never seem to get into the system of actually using my planners for long term, and after a couple of weeks, my planners are a ghost town […]
Review: UnLock Math Pre-Algebra
June 22, 2017 by Leave a Comment
Because of The Hubby and his side of the family, I have begun to see Math in a new light. And I now actually enjoy checking out different ways of learning and teaching Math, so I immediately signed up to review the Pre-Algebra course of UnLock Math. What it is (and who used it) UnLock […]

I try to minimize screen-based lessons or activities for the kids, but K5 Learning looked pretty interesting, so when the opportunity came to review their online program came along, I decided to check it out. I mean it was a win-win: the kids treated it as a reward of sorts, and they still learned something! […]
HP Bulletin #304

FitCon MNL 2017, I believe, can be called a success. People were introduced to the latest in fitness and wellness, and I bet they learned more than […]
