- [5 Tips for Homeschool Science Labs](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2020/02/02/5-tips-for-homeschool-science-labs/) - We generally like Science over here at the HP Academy. I admit that we don't get to do the experiments and hand-on work as often as I'd like (or as I imagine we'd do). But now that Raine is in high school, working towards getting into college, I know we should step up. So I'm
- [Review: LitWits Kits](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2019/11/23/review-litwits-kits/) - We HPs are a bookish family, and we have had lively discussions about and jumping off from books we've read as a family. The Hunger Games trilogy, for example, has led to countless talks (and sometimes--ehem-- lectures) about Dystopian and Utopian societies, dictatorship, martial law, the current Philippine political scene, morality and hard choices. However,
- [Review: Thinkwell Honors 8th Grade Math](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2019/11/19/review-thinkwell-honors-8th-grade-math/) - I have been eyeing Thinkwell for a couple of years already, but never seriously considered it due to budget constraints. I was thrilled to be chosen to review one of their 6th to 8th Grade Math courses. Raine works on her Thinkwell course both online on her Kindle Fire and on printed worksheets. She also
- [Review: CrossTimber - Name Meaning Gifts](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2019/11/10/review-crosstimber-name-meaning-gifts/) - We were chosen to review Your Amazing Name - Personalized Adventures for EVERY Name! from CrossTimber - Name Meaning Gifts. We received a personalized cartoon video for Breeze, which featured Breeze's artwork, her photo, a message from me, and the meaning of her name. The video is almost 30 minutes long. Breeze was pleasantly surprised
- [Review: Creating a Masterpiece Drawing Program](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2019/10/23/review-creating-a-masterpiece-drawing-program/) - It's no secret that I have grand aspirations of the artistic bent (and my kids always remind me, "expectations versus reality!"). Which is why reviewing the Drawing Program from Creating a Masterpiece is such a joyful thing. Our owls. Not bad for first timers! Raine decided to give her owl extra scary markings, and Breeze
- [Review: Progeny Press - Shadow Spinner Study Guide & The Hound of the Baskervilles Study Guide](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2019/10/10/review-progeny-press-shadow-spinner-study-guide-the-hound-of-the-baskervilles-study-guide/) - We've reviewed a Progeny Press Study Guide before, and I have purchased several to use in a book club that I ran for a few months. I'm happy to be able to review the Shadow Spinner Study Guide and the The Hound of the Baskervilles Study Guide this time 'round. Both study guides are downloadable
- [HP Bulletin #429](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2019/10/02/hp-bulletin-429/) - We have been so overwhelmed lately. We've had to move house suddenly. And now that we've finally transferred our 845,378 boxes and bags of stuff, we have to unpack and put away all that. So. We have, however, started our newest school year! Raine is 7th grade, and Breeze, 4th. Time flies! We're on our
- [Review: My School Year Homeschool Record Keeping](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2019/08/26/review-my-school-year-homeschool-record-keeping/) - I'm happy that before our SY 2019-20 kicks off, I received the Annual Membership Plan from My School Year Homeschool Record Keeping . And even better, doing this review forces me to plan out our coming school year much, much earlier.
- [Review: Home School in the Woods Timeline](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2019/08/01/review-home-school-in-the-woods-timeline/) - We''re big fans of Home School in the Woods, and this time we're happy to review the Timeline Collection: A Collection of Historical Timeline Figures. This is a massive download with more than 1,260 figures that can be used in a myriad of ways.
- [Review: Simply Music](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2019/07/17/review-simply-music/) - Raine has been learning to play the piano for over a year now, and she's raring to play pieces that aren't in her beginner's piano book. That's why I was intrigued by the Music & Creativity - Foundation Course created by Neil Moore of Simply Music . Simply Music is perfect for those who want
- [Review: The Heart Changer](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2019/07/12/review-the-heart-changer/) - The Heart Changer is about the unnamed Hebrew slave girl who directed Naaman to the prophet Elisha. Jarm took those three verses and imagined the slave girl's life, thoughts, and feelings and expanded it into twenty-five chapters. Overall, The Heart Changer was a good read.
- [Review: Hey, Mama! Homeschool Planner](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2019/06/05/review-hey-mama-homeschool-planner/) - I love making plans; planning has always been one of my favorite pastimes and I can get lost in planning fantasies (now putting those plans into action is another thing entirely). They say that writing things down helps get you on the road to accomplishment, which is a great thing, since I adore planners, and
- [Review: Supercharged Science](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2019/05/31/review-supercharged-science/) - The girls and I have been thoroughly enjoying our review of the e-Science Homeschool Science Curriculum from Supercharged Science. Created by former NASA scientist and mechanical engineer Aurora Lipper, e-Science is an online Science subscription that allows you access to thousands of videos, lessons, experiments, and printable materials for grades K to 12. The materials
- [Free Audio Books!](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2019/05/02/free-audio-books/) - The girls and I have long discovered the joys of audio books. We got into them when we started homeschooling. Our curriculum of choice, Sonlight. needs a lot of reading, and read-alouds. With my read-aloud experience limited to, "Mr. Brown is upside down" and "I want to be your personal penguin. I want to walk
- [HP Bulletin #407](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2019/04/30/hp-bulletin-407/) - The HPs have been busy. Or rather, the adult HPs have been like tourbillons (pardon the French--I miss using that word) while the kids have been having an extremely light school load (which they will need to make up for soon!). After Breeze's Soapy Booper handmade soap business that helped keep us afloat last Christmas,
- [Box Day!](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2019/04/22/box-day/) - Nothing excites us HP girls as much as Box Day. Although if you ask The Hubby, we girls are extremely excitable, so it would be more apt to say that Box Days is one of numerous things that make us giddy and hyper and all chirpy. Homeschoolers will most likely know what Box Day is,
- [Now That You're 12...The Hunger Games vs The Giver](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2019/04/06/now-that-youre-12-the-hunger-games-vs-the-giver/) - Raine recently turned 12, and is, as she keeps telling me, an 'unofficial teenager' because she is already 'two-teen.' In return, I keep telling her that with greater age comes greater responsibility. Cue mom's maniacal laugh, and kilometer-long chore lists appearing out of thin air, gently floating down and settling on Raine's head, magically obliging
- [Dear Co-Parent](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2019/04/04/dear-co-parent/) - Dear Co-Parent, Thank you so much for asking us to join your kid’s birthday party. My own kids are delighted—they love being considered friends worthy enough of inviting. We all know how, due to budget constraints, you may have to set a limit to the number of guests, and really, we’re thrilled to have made
- [Review: Homeschool Planet](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2017/06/24/review-homeschool-planet/) - 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: Books of the Bible At-a-Glance](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2018/10/04/review-books-of-the-bible-at-a-glance/) - I'm ashamed to admit that in all my years of reading my Bible, I still haven't memorized all the books, much less the order. Some books (like the minor prophets), I even forget sometimes. I'd love for my girls to know their Bibles by heart though (that's a goal for me too). I am happy
- [Review: GrammarPlanet](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2018/09/08/review-grammarplanet/) - I consider my English grammar skills fairly decent, pretty good even. My girls also speak and write quite well, following the proper grammar rules. When we got the chance to review GrammarPlanet, I thought it would be a good opportunity to just brush up on stuff we already know. I was in for a rude
- [Review: Balancing Diapers and Deadlines](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2018/11/03/review-balancing-diapers-and-deadlines/) - While I haven't had a kid in diapers for years, and will not have one in the foreseeable future, I do have deadlines. Piles and piles of monster deadlines. Deadlines with emphasis on that first syllable. And I do need balance. When things are so hectic you haven't slept in your bed for two nights, falling
- [Review: CashCrunch Careers](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2018/10/24/review-cashcrunch-careers/) - We're at that point in our homeschool journey that we have to start planning for Raine's longer term future. In a few years, before she gets to senior high, she'll need to decide on what track to take: Academic, which splits further into General, Humanities, STEM, and Accountancy and Business Management; Technical-Vocational-Livelihood, which includes specific
- [Review: I Know It](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2018/09/29/review-i-know-it/) - Here at the HP Academy, we love (or rather, Teacher Mommy loves) any reviews that have to do with Math, coding, Science, and writing. And Art. And crafts. And fun stuff... But really, I do try to get Math products for review because I like discovering the different methods for teaching Math. I Know It
- [Review: The Captain Sun Adventures](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2018/09/25/review-the-captain-sun-adventures/) - My girls both love comic books, so it was a nice change of pace when we reviewed Rescue Me! What Superheroes Can Teach Us About the Power of Faith. This is Book 1 of the Captain Sun Adventures, and we received a digital copy. Breeze, who is 8, read Rescue Me! on the iPad. It was a quick
- [Review: Roman Roads Media](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2018/09/14/review-roman-roads-media/) - While I know that it's considered a 'dead language,' Latin is the source of many of the words and phrases that we still regularly use today. Also, for some reason, Breeze has been asking to study Latin for some time now. So reviewing Picta Dicta Natural World from Roman Roads Media was such a joy.
- [Easy Champorado from Scratch](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2018/09/01/easy-champorado-from-scratch/) - I never really was a champorado person, or at least not that I can remember (should ask my mom). But The Hubby likes it, so we occasionally buy boxed champorado mixes. For the uninitiated, champorado is a chocolate-flavored rice porridge that you eat with milk and sugar, or even better, condensed milk. Some people like to
- [Quick Meals: French Beans and Chicken](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2018/08/30/quick-meals-french-beans-and-chicken/) - I love French beans. They're one of my comfort foods. I also love how quickly they can go from ref to table to hungry mouths. This French beans and chicken recipe is a pretty flexible one. You can use pork, ground meat--even no meat. You can also change the seasoning to whatever strikes your fancy
- [Review: God Schooling by Julie Polanco](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2018/08/18/review-god-schooling-by-julie-polanco/) - I recently speed-read through Julie Polanco's book, God Schooling: How God Intended Children to Learn. It was both an easy and difficult book to review, and whether you like it or not, I will tell you why. God Schooling came at a time when I was (still am!) struggling with our homeschool. We were
- [Review: Home School in the Woods](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2018/08/03/review-home-school-in-the-woods/) - Home School in the Woods has been one of my homeschool favorites ever since I reviewed their Middle Ages Passport Project and the Time Travelers Early 19th Century. This time, we got to review their Hands-on History Activity-Paks on Composers. Hands-On History Activity-Paks comprise a lapbook on a specific theme, plus a couple of
- [Review: Great Waters Press - No Longer Little](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2018/07/25/review-great-waters-press-no-longer-little/) - So Raine is at that age. She insists that she's a teen because she's one-teen. And of course, with the 'teen' word (even if it's pre-teen) comes the new world that we have to navigate as mother and daughter, a world filled with shifting moods, changing bodies, and evolving relationships. To be honest, I'm not sure
- [Review: Northwest Treasures](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2018/07/28/review-northwest-treasures/) - I started this review not quite sure what to expect. My younger daughter likes dinosaurs; she has a pocket-sized dino reference book, and she has the names and details of her favorites memorized. We watched the trailer for Northwest Treasures' Dinosaurs and the Bible course, and decided that it would make an interesting and enlightening endeavor.
- [Easy Appetizers: Chicken Liver Pate](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2018/07/20/easy-appetizers-chicken-liver-pate/) - Longtime readers will know that The Hubby and I love cooking and having people over, and over the years, we've collected several go-to recipes that we can pretty much do with our eyes closed, and still please (most of) our guests' palates. This super easy chicken liver pate is one of those recipes, and even
- [Review: The Master and His Apprentices](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2018/06/30/review-the-master-and-his-apprentices/) - My academic background has largely been science and math, Art was never something I was good at, and don't even ask me about music! However, as I grow older, I've discovered a desire to not only coax out any artistic skills, but to learn about art itself. I've also discovered a love for history, so
- [Review: MaxScholar](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2018/06/21/review-maxscholar/) - MaxScholar Reading Intervention Programs is a collection of online interactive programs designed to help beginning and struggling students how to read. It uses well-researched and proven methods such as the Orton-Gillingham approach and the Lindamood-Bell Learning Processes. Now both my girls (ages 8 and 11) read way above their age and grade level. I still requested
- [Review: Critical Thinking Co.](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2018/06/05/review-critical-thinking-co/) - The Critical Thinking Co.™ is one of our favorite publishers. We have been using their books in the HP Academy of Homeschool Shmool (yes, that is our 'official' name, according to the girls) and the kids and I love window shopping on their website. It was a bit difficult choosing which book to review, since we
- [Never Can Have Too Many Books Part 1](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2018/05/29/never-can-have-too-many-books-part-1/) - There's been a chain posting thing going around (not sure if there's a proper term for it); if you get tagged, you'd have to post 10 book covers of your favorite books, one a day. While I love posts like this (and I would feel terrible if no one tagged me!), I don't think I
- [A Touch of Spice](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2018/05/25/a-touch-of-spice/) - "You're wearing lipstick." Breeze eyed me with suspicion. "You never wear lipstick. Unless you're going to a meeting. And only if it's important!" So take note. If I met up with you and I was wearing lipstick, consider yourself extra important! It's understandable though that Breeze would be so unused to seeing me made up.
- [Review: Home School Navigator](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2018/05/24/review-home-school-navigator/) - If there are things that I am always on the look out for, it's different ways to teach Math, and an acceptable (to her) writing curriculum for Breeze. When we were given the opportunity to review Home School Navigator I was hoping that it would finally be THE curriculum we were looking for. Home School Navigator
- [Review: Kids Email](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2018/05/16/review-kids-email/) - The Hubby and I had set up the girls with my old laptop, and we set up Outlook email accounts for them, mostly so I can send them assignments, links, references, and the occasional "hey check this out, it's so cool!" message. So far, they have been pretty responsible with their online activities; while Raine
- [Review: CodeWizardsHQ](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2018/05/03/review-codewizardshq/) - The Hubby is in IT. So are my dad, my brother, my uncle, my aunt, and a couple of cousins. So you could say that programming, coding, IT and all that are in Raine's blood. As a family, we're all advocates of Girls Who Code. Raine has been trying to learn how to code for
- [Review: A+ Interactive Math](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2018/04/26/review-a-interactive-math/) - As a reformed Math-hater, I always am on the lookout for new ways to teach and learn Math. That's why any time anything Math-related comes up for review, I immediately volunteer. A+ Interactive Math (by A+ TutorSoft Inc. seemed particularly intriguing because it offered "Multi-Sensory Interactive Math Full Curriculum." We chose the Family Math Package for this review.
- [Review: Creation Illustrated Unit Studies](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2018/04/03/review-creation-illustrated-unit-studies/) - We recently moved up to Baguio, which is also known as "The City of Pines." I grew up here in Baguio, surrounded by all these gorgeous pine trees (when I was a kid, we'd even have fresh pine trees as Christmas trees--but now any tree cutting is strictly regulated), yet I have never really bothered
- [Review: NatureGlo's eScience - MathArt Bundle](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2018/03/16/review-natureglos-escience-mathart-bundle/) - The Hubby and I advocate literacy and numeracy. We also are always on the lookout for ways to teach and learn Math, and for ways to relate Math to the real world. That's why when the MathArt Online 4-Class Bundle from NatureGlo's eScience came up for review, I immediately begged for it. I was intrigued
- [Review: Taming the Lecture Bug and Getting Your Kids to Think Video](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2018/03/15/review-taming-the-lecture-bug-and-getting-your-kids-to-think-video/) - When she was younger (and much less wiser!), Raine told me, out of the blue, "What if I had two moms? I'd have a fun mom...and you." And while I found it hilarious, it was also heartbreaking. I know I'm not the silly/funny parent (guess who is), but I was a fun person. At least I
- [HP Bulletin #399](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2018/03/13/hp-bulletin-399/) - Just a quick one today. We're pretty excited because we're a step closer to our dream of living off the land, farming, producing food. This is also moving in the direction of The Hubby's ultimate dream: to help alleviate world hunger, and to prevent food wastage, and to help make sure that food resources are
- [Science for the Year: Apologia Chemistry and Physics](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2018/03/05/science-for-the-year-apologia-chemistry-and-physics/) - The girls share a few subjects: Science, World History, Bible & Character. This means we have the same lesson for both, with slightly different age-adjusted follow up activities. We've been doing this since we started homeschool, and it really does save me time. Last year for Science, we did Apologia's Exploring Creation Swimming Creatures of the
- [Love a Man Who Lets You Sing and More Things I've Done Right](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2018/02/13/love-a-man-who-lets-you-sing-and-more-things-ive-done-right/) - We're six days shy of our 13th wedding anniversary. But given that tomorrow is Valentine, I thought I'd hit two dates with one post. The Hubby has been in couplehood with me for 18 years, and we have known each other for almost 31 years, which is three-fourths of our lives. This is my annual
- [Review: A Pirate's Guide t' th' Grammar of Story](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2018/02/08/review-a-pirates-guide-t-th-grammar-of-story/) - Both Raine and Breeze didn't work too well with the Language Arts program of Sonlight and Bookshark, so we were looking for a better alternative. Raine found her groove with Apologia's Writers in Residence this year (more on this in a separate post). Breeze was a little more difficult to pin down. When I got
- [HP Bulletin # 392](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2018/02/07/hp-bulletin-392/) - We HPs are settling in our new house, and everyone except me seems to have adjusted to the much, much colder weather. I wear a long-sleeved turtleneck top under a sweatshirt under a jacket, plus pants and extra thick socks while the girls run around barefoot with no jackets; The Hubby even wears shorts around
- [The HPs Are Now Much Cooler](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2018/01/22/the-hps-are-now-much-cooler/) - And we mean that literally. We moved up to Baguio City, where the temperatures range from 12 to 22 degrees. Washing dishes can be freezing, and a hot shower is one of the most wonderful things in the world. It took quite some time for us to get here though. The Hubby and I had
- [Grace to Be a Beginner](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2017/12/12/grace-to-be-a-beginner/) - I indulged myself last Sunday and had a crafternoon date with one of my friends. Those who know me know that I love to dabble in arts and crafts and, perhaps more significantly, I love hoarding arts and crafts supplies with no idea how to use them (of course hoarding is a relative term, as
- [Laundry and Life](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2017/12/07/laundry-and-life/) - I remember this one time I was helping my mom with the family laundry. I groused and complained over each step. "I don't like switching the loads between tubs," I declared (ours was a semi-automatic twin tub washing machine). "There are so many loads!" "You know what I hate most? Making sampay (hanging the clothes on
- [Review: Forbrain](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2017/11/18/review-forbrain/) - I always tease my daughters that they each have two volume settings for their speaking voices. Breeze's voice settings are only Loud and Louder; and Raine's are Soft and Mumble. My aunt (who works with special needs kids) was telling me about a voice feedback hack to help the kids hear themselves better so they
- [Review: Let the Little Children Come](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2017/11/03/review-let-the-little-children-come/) - I find talking about God, the Gospel, and salvation daunting sometimes, especially when talking to children. That's why this Gospel Tracts and Evangelism Tools Sampler Pack that I got for review from Let the Little Children Come is wonderful. Each of the ten items in the pack helps engage children children's attention and interest, and makes
- [Review: Everyday Homemaking – The Everyday Family Chore System](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2017/08/25/review-everyday-homemaking-the-everyday-family-chore-system/) - This review for The Everyday Family Chore System by Vicki Bentley of Everyday Homemaking couldn’t have come at a better time. One of the reasons that I haven’t been able to regularly update this blog is because we’ve been operating on semi-survival mode since June, when The Amazing AL, our part-time housekeeper for the past
- [Review: Brinkman Adventures](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2017/10/11/review-brinkman-adventures/) - We have been enjoying audiobooks for some time now, and a well-narrated one can keep the girls enthralled for hours (Neil Patrick Harris’ reading of Beverly Cleary’s Henry Huggins has been the hands-down winner so far). We’ve never tried a full-production radio drama like Brinkman Adventures before, so I was excited to have the girls
- [Review: Super Teacher Worksheets](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2017/10/04/review-super-teacher-worksheets/) - The girls love worksheets, so the Individual Membership from Super Teacher Worksheets was a welcome review. Super Teachers Worksheets is a by-membership site where you can find and download a plethora of worksheets (mostly for K to 5th grade, with some of the chapter book activities going up to 7th grade). With worksheets that cover
- [Review: Let's Go Geography](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2017/09/22/review-lets-go-geography/) - My kids have always been fond of geography, so when Let’s Go Geography offered one year of their three-year geography curriculum for review, I wanted to try it out. What it is and who used it Let’s Go Geography is a downloadable curriculum that tackles one country every lesson. Each lesson is a PDF file
- [The HPs' Annual MIBF Field Trip](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2017/09/18/the-hps-annual-mibf-field-trip/) - I have been going to the Manila International Book Fair longer than The Hubby and I have been together (17 years in November!). It used to be held at the World Trade Center on the corner of Roxas Boulevard and Buendia Avenue, which was about two blocks down from where I lived. My mom and
- [Review: Carole P. Roman Storybooks](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2017/09/15/review-carole-p-roman-storybooks/) - We all love reading in HP Household, and the opportunity to review children’s books from Carole P. Roman was too good to pass up. Besides, some of her books coincided with our lessons. We chose two books from her If You Were Me and Lived in… series: Renaissance Italy and The American West. We also
- [Review: Progeny Press 'The Silver Chair' E-Guide](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2017/09/14/review-progeny-press-the-silver-chair-e-guide/) - I have always loved reading, and I’m thrilled that the girls have picked up on that as well (to the point of uselessness sometimes, as they read and lounge amidst all the chores that have to be done—but that’s a completely different post). One thing that I never really did though was dig deeper into
- [Where's My Heart?](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2017/09/12/wheres-my-heart/) - I attended an enlightening writers' workshop last Saturday, and of all the things I learned, what really struck me (hard) was when the speaker, Nelson Dy, asked us to write our Writer's Mission Statement. Why did I start this blog? I wanted to encourage other moms who were also grappling with this motherhood thing. Those
- [Review: Is There Anything Better Than Candy? Box-Tract](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2017/09/07/review-is-there-anything-better-than-candy-box-tract/) - This paper pumpkin candy holder (say it ten times fast!) from Let the Little Children Come is the most unusual--but fun!--product we've reviewed so far. Officially titled the Is There Anything Better Than Candy Box-Tract, this tiny treat box is actually a tool to help share the Gospel with children. The box tracts come
- [HP Bulletin # 346](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2017/07/20/hp-bulletin-346/) - The past few weeks have been eventful. Rather, they have been uneventful, save for one eventful event, which rendered the rest of the time unable to support any other events of significance. Did that befuddle you? No worries, I’m as fuddled as can be too. The Amazing Aling Lourdes, or AL for short, our mistress
- [Review: Home School in the Woods Time Travelers American Early 19th Century](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2017/07/17/review-home-school-in-the-woods-time-travelers-american-early-19th-century/) - Ever since we did the review on Home School in the Woods Passport Project Middle Ages (which I did mostly with Breeze, since we're going through World History), Raine has been begging me to get her something for her own American History studies. We were thrilled when we got the opportunity to review Time Traveler
- [The HPs' Weekly Math Thing #2](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2017/06/29/the-hps-weekly-math-thing-2/) - 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: UnLock Math Pre-Algebra](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2017/06/22/review-unlock-math-pre-algebra/) - 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
- [The HPs' Weekly Math Thing #1](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2017/06/19/the-hps-weekly-math-thing-1/) - A few people have been asking how to do that, how to make it a normal part of your day. We aren't experts, and I am definitely not a Math genius, but we're happy to share what has worked for us. Starting this week, I will try my best to post at least one Math-at-Home-Math-in-Real-Life thing that has worked for us. And here is tip#1:
- [Review: Marsh Media](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2017/06/11/review-marsh-media/) - Raine is at that awkward, transitional stage—otherwise known as puberty—and I haven’t been exactly looking forward to The Talk. So when the chance came up to review the Homeschool Special from Marsh Media, I wanted in. Marsh Media has been making videos on puberty, hygiene, and safety since 1969, so they do know their stuff.
- [Review: K5 Learning](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2017/06/09/review-k5-learning/) - 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](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2017/06/06/hp-bulletin-304/) - It's been pretty silent here the past few weeks, I know. Between FitCon MNL 2017, and catching up on HP Academy school work, things have been quite hectic. 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
- [Review: The Typing Coach](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2017/05/26/review-the-typing-coach/) - I have considered myself a relatively decent typist—meaning I don’t use the two-fingered-hunt-and-peck method, and I can type without really looking at the keyboard most of the time. But I also know that I can work much more efficiently if I learned how to type the proper way. I also wanted the kids to learn
- [Review: Homeschool Rescue](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2017/05/19/review-homeschool-rescue/) - The course will only work as much as you let it. Meaning if you don’t take time to think about the questions that Heather raises, you won’t get much other than more head knowledge to cram into your most-likely-already-full brain.
- [A Tribute to My Mom Who Rocks (and a Mother's Day Giveaway!)](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2017/05/10/a-tribute-to-my-mom-who-rocks-and-a-mothers-day-giveaway/) - Note: There really is a giveaway! Scroll down if you want to skip to that! I remember going with my mom to her aerobics class. She'd be in her neon spandex leotards and tights, with matching legwarmers, in a roomful of women in similar outfits, and I would try to stay on the periphery of
- [Review: Algebra for Breakfast](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2017/05/12/review-algebra-for-breakfast/) - Algebra for Breakfast: the HPs do a review of this online Math supplement program.
- [DIY Science-Themed Party](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2017/05/10/diy-science-themed-party/) - I had such a great time reminiscing about Raine's last Japanese-themed birthday party, I dug up photos from her 7th birthday, when we had a Science-themed party here at home. This one was really a family affair, with my mom, sister, sister-in-law, The Hubby, uncle in the US, a good friend, and the sister's boyfriend
- [DIY Japanese-Themed Party](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2017/05/01/diy-japanese-themed-party/) - I grew up with birthdays celebrated with joie de vivre, handmade invitations, and homecooked food. And these parties always had a theme. My aunts and uncles all pitched in to make the invitations and décor, and games and entertainment. As an adult, I loved themed get-togethers, even if it was just friends coming over. We’d
- [Review: Daily Bible Jigsaw](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2017/04/27/review-daily-bible-jigsaw/) - I did something new the past month: I played a video game almost every day. And while I’m not a fan of game apps or video games, I did enjoy the Daily Bible Jigsaw from Planet 316. Surprisingly. http://i1202.photobucket.com/albums/bb374/TOSCrew2011/2017%20Homeschool%20Review%20Crew/04%20-%20April/25%20-%20Planet%20316/game_icon_zpsxcg9czjr.png This review was a rather unusual one, given that it isn’t directly related to homeschool, unless,
- [Stop Stressing Over Math!](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2017/04/17/stop-stressing-over-math/) - Seeing the basic relationship between numbers, and the ability to manipulate them are skills that can be acquired. So how can we parents ensure that our kids don’t get Math anxiety?
- [HP Bulletin #287](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2017/04/10/hp-bulletin-287/) - It's been quiet around here. Mostly because the kids are off on some sort of midterm vacation at my sister-in-law's house, and have been there for over a week. The Hubby and I can hear each other's thoughts. It's that quiet (mostly our thoughts are what is there to snack on and what should we watch tonight
- [Raising a Reader](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2010/04/16/raising-a-reader/) - We all know that reading skills are the foundation for future success. But how do you get your children into reading?
- [Review: Creating a Masterpiece](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2017/03/21/review-creating-a-masterpiece/) - We tried the Creating a Masterpiece online art program in our homeschool, and we loved it. This is why.
- [Review: Circle C Stepping Stones Books](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2017/03/20/review-circle-c-stepping-stones-books/) - I initially thought that we wouldn’t be able to do the review on Susan K. Marlow’s newest Andi book series, Circle C Stepping Stones. More than a month after Kregel Publications mailed us the books, we still hadn’t received them. I usually don’t have problems receiving book packages from the U.S.; most of our homeschool
- [The Bed](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2017/03/20/the-bed/) - Breeze had been praying for a bed for nearly a year. Every night, a bed of her own was always on the list of things that she prayed for. Ever since she outgrew her crib (at 10 months, I think), Breeze and Raine have been sharing the day bed. It actually isn’t that bad—the three
- [Review: Creative Freewriting Adventure](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2017/03/14/review-creative-freewriting-adventure/) - This Creative Freewriting Adventure exercise is a no-judgement one—the technical stuff like spelling and punctuation are not corrected. This is meant to be a fun, free-flowing exercise to help release creativity and, I suppose, ‘prime the pump’ for writing.
- [Breastfeeding the Fussy Feeder](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2010/09/14/breastfeeding-the-fussy-feeder/) - To find out that my milk was not only unable to soothe Breeze, but could also partly be the cause of her misery was a blow to my already deflated Mommy ego. Breastfeeding, which was once my bastion of confidence as a mother, now stressed me out. But we are coping. Sometimes we even enjoy it. Along the way, we’ve found tricks and strategies that helped ease feeding woes.
- [Beep, Beep the Lab Jeep!](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2017/03/13/beep-beep-the-lab-jeep/) - We were supposed to design a light-up card using the supplied LED lights, batteries, and copper tape. Raine and I, naturally, thought of the card design first. Raine drew her UFO with the copy “You are out of this world!”, and then we stuck in the LED lights through the card to light up the alien ship. “So where’s your circuit?” asked The Hubby. Apparently, all the other teams started with the circuit design. That had us flummoxed. Our aesthetically pleasing card did not have a circuit-friendly design.
- [Review: Eclectic Foundations Language Arts         Level C](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2017/03/08/review-eclectic-foundations-language-arts-level-c/) - A review of the Eclectic Foundations Language Arts Level C program, by a homeschooling family
- [Mathematize Your Home: Shopping Math](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2017/03/06/mathematize-your-home-shopping-math/) - I’ve always maintained that shopping and making change are the most useful (and sneakiest) ways of practicing Math skills. On a recent trip to Monterey, our local meat shop, we had a few challenges other than what to have for dinner. For example, lean ground pork costs P205 a kilo, while regular ground
- [Homeschool in Small Spaces](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2017/02/27/homeschool-in-small-spaces/) - We live in a cozy, two-bed-two-bath-open-plan-living-area house. While we sometimes have “Can’t I ever have my own space and be alone!” dramas (by me and both girls), this house has served us HPs well over more than a decade. I am not much of an interior designer, and I’m a packrat by nature, so in

What it is (and who used it) Home School in the Woods make engaging
- [Love a Man Who Cooks and Other Things I’ve Done Right](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2017/02/20/love-a-man-who-cooks-and-other-things-ive-done-right/) - My love language is gifts, and one of my dialects is food. Fortunately (both for me and him!), The Hubby has learned—over the 12 years of marriage and 17 years of couplehood—to speak it with ease. The Hubby gets me my favorite treats: popcorn and, on extremely special occasions, Cheetos Jalapeño Cheese. Sometimes, when he

- [Mathematize Your Home: What’s Algebra But a Lost Number?](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2017/02/10/mathematize-your-home-whats-algebra-but-a-lost-number/) - I remember my high school Math days as bleak days of terror. Geometry was bearable, but Algebra, Trigonometry, and Calculus were the stuff my nightmares were made of. I remember in one Calculus class, our teacher asked me to stand and recite and I couldn’t answer the question. I was totally humiliated (The Hubby
- [Review: Times Tables the Fun Way](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2017/02/08/review-times-tables-the-fun-way/) - The chance to review Times Alive by Times Tables the Fun Way came at a perfect time, because Breeze is scheduled to learn her multiplication tables just about now. And who wouldn’t enjoy online lessons with animated songs and stories to learn times tables the fun way? I learned the times tables the old-school way:
- [Postcards from the Edge (and Wherever Else I Happen to Be)](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2017/01/31/postcards-from-the-edge-and-wherever-else-i-happen-to-be/) - I’ve been traveling for work often in the past four years, twice a year at the least. Once, I had five out-of-the-country trips and at least four local trips all in one year. That was the year that I flew in from Malaysia late afternoon, and early the morning the next day, I flew out
- [Thoughts Below Zero ](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2017/01/19/thoughts-below-zero/) - As I type this, I am waiting for my next appointment in the press center at the PALEXPO in Geneva, Switzerland. I'm dressed in severe business black, my official press ID hanging from my neck. A far cry from the usual shorts and t-shirts I wear to my 'office' at home (must say that I
- [Review: SchoolhouseTeachers.com Yearly Membership](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2017/01/10/review-schoolhouseteachers-com-yearly-membership/) - Over the Christmas break, the kids and I got to check out the perks of having a Yearly Membership from SchoolhouseTeachers.com—the curriculum site of The Old Schoolhouse magazine. And ‘curriculum site’ is exactly what it sounds like. You can find your entire year of homeschool curriculum in all the major subjects, short online classes on
- [Free Downloadable Planner Pages](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2017/01/10/free-downloadable-planner-pages-3/) - Another year, another chance to do great things! This was supposed to be a longer post, but life gets in the way. Just in case you still need a planner, here are some pages you can print out for free! These were designed by my cousin Diane a few years ago, but they're still pretty
- [Making Friends with the Bike. Again.](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2016/11/08/making-friends-with-the-bike-again/) - Biking and I aren’t close friends. We’re like those neighborhood kids who play together only when no one else is out on the street to play, and then grow up and have hello-do-I-attempt-to-give-you-a-hug-or-do-I-just-wave-awkwardly-from-five-feet-away encounters. For me and biking, those encounters came about once every decade (which you can read about here, and here). I’m not
- [Building Blocks of Homeschooling: What I Learned](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2016/12/19/building-blocks-of-homeschooling-what-i-learned/) - Getting up at 5AM and feeding, bathing, dressing up all the HPs, and getting us out of the house before 7AM and right smack into the my-lola-walks-faster-than-this traffic just to be somewhere merely 5km away before 8:30AM—this exercise in fortitude and patience reminds me again of one of the reasons we decided to homeschool. I
- [Mathematize Your Home: Board Games](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2016/12/05/mathematize-your-home-board-games/) - One of the sneaky ways we use to work in some Math skills into our regular, non-formal-studying lives is play board games. The girls love board games. We started with the beginner ones like Snakes and Ladders and Candyland, to Richard Scarry games to the girls’ current favorite, Monopoly. Aside from the
- [A Walk in the Clouds](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2016/11/25/walk-in-the-clouds/) - A few weeks ago, we were invited by my sister-in-law, Rose, to visit Camp N to join a mountain bike clinic and try out the rest of their outdoor adventure facilities. We planned to get in before 9AM, zip through the activities, then leave by 1PM so we could still make it back in time
- [Mathematize Your Home: Jellybeans—[Math] Tricks for Treats](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2016/11/21/mathematize-your-home-jellybeans-math-tricks-for-treats/) - In the HP household (that’s ours), we usually ration out desserts, treats, and other sweets. We once received a huge jar of jellybeans as a gift—and it lasted for months! After a proper meal, the kids would get, at most, only 10 jellybeans. Since our jar had 49 flavors and then some, each bean had

But our children’s success is as dependent on numeracy as it is on literacy. Numeracy, which involves our ability to make sense of numbers, time, and patterns, to think logically, and to create
- [The HP Academy of Homeschool Shmool](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2016/08/25/the-hp-academy-of-homeschool-shmool/) - This year, we finally took the plunge and decided to homeschool the girls. It wasn’t a sudden decision; I informally homeschooled the girls before we put them in for Kinder, and it was always one of the options, albeit not the most likely one. Until now. Why did we decide to homeschool? Three main reasons.
- [5 Budget-Friendly Kids Play Room Ideas](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2016/06/08/5-budget-friendly-kids-play-room-ideas/) - It's a simple fact that kids love to play and they will never have enough of it. Besides school playgrounds, they should be provided with a nice place to do so at home as well. Bedroom and the sitting room may serve your kids well for that purpose, but having their own playroom is a
- [Lemon Bars, Child Labor, and Tough Love](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2016/05/20/lemon-bars-child-labor-and-tough-love/) - This is really a recipe post. The girls baked a scrumptious batch of lemon bars this afternoon. But I have a longish intro; scroll down if you want to skip it and go straight to the recipe. Raine, who turned 9 a couple of months ago, decided that she was old enough to bake on
- [The Weekly Menu Experiment - Week 1](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2016/02/24/the-weekly-menu-experiment-week-1/) - I'll come straight out and say it. I would rather wash the dishes than make the weekly menu. I know that coming up with what to cook for dinner and breakfast (because lunch is always last night's leftovers) daily is stressful, and I know that making the weekly menu will relieve that stress. I know
- [Child's Play](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2014/07/08/childs-play/) - There used to be an ad (Milo, I think) that said something like, “A child playing is a child at work.” And true enough; Maria Montessori says that play is the work of a child. Play is how kids learn to deal with the world around them, how they practice skills—from motor to social to
- [How a Pain in the Ass Can Give You Headaches--and How to Get Rid of It](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2013/06/11/how-a-pain-in-the-ass-can-give-you-headaches-and-how-to-get-rid-of-it/) - I suffer from really bad headaches. The throbbing kind that shoots pain every time you move. The one that makes your eyes water involuntarily. The one that makes you pukey. The one that makes your world spin. I've had them all. Sometimes all together. I also have atrocious posture, and bad work habits (I'm referring
- [Easy Whatever-You-Have-in-the-Pantry Roast Vegetables](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2013/05/20/easy-whatever-you-have-in-the-pantry-roast-vegetables/) - Last week, my sister-in-law invited me over to a potluck dinner and asked me to bring some salad. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to drop by the grocery to get some greens. The day of the dinner, I desperately scrounged around the ref and my veggie basket and came up with a carrot, a few potatoes,
- [Another Biker Chick Episode](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2013/03/20/another-biker-chick-episode/) - I have been so remiss with Rainy Days and Mom Days. What can I say? With my magazine going from annual to three times a year, getting Silid Booklatan off the ground (we have two branches now, and more planned this year!), and the usual mommy/wifey duties, this website has been, sadly, neglected. But I was
- [Free Downloadable Planner Pages](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2013/01/02/free-downloadable-planner-pages-2/) - New year, another chance to set your life right. And I find that writing things down helps keep me on track. As I said last year, I love Mommy Planners, and I even offered some of my own, designed by my cousin Diane. This year, I still have the same set of planners, but by
- [Rainy Day Activity #1: Fizzing Fun](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2012/10/04/rainy-day-activity-1-fizzing-fun/) - Raine is on sem break this week (a preschooler with a sem break!) the weather has been rather dismal, and the girls have been antsy. So I decided to try out the most fun of kiddie science experiments: the magic mix of baking soda and vinegar. And what can be more fun than baking soda
- [Easy Apple Oat Muffins with Calamansi Frosting](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2012/09/24/easy-apple-oat-muffins-with-calamansi-frosting/) - I've been trying to bake regularly, since I want Raine to bring healthy snacks to school. Breeze also has the makings of a serial muncher (so like Mommy!), so I want to make sure that there are healthy stuff to eat around the house. But one major reason I'm so excited to bake these days
- [We're Off to See the Wizard!](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2012/08/28/were-off-to-see-the-wizard/) - From the time her Ninong Tata gave Raine her first copy of The Wizard of Oz—the simplified children’s illustrated version—Raine has loved Dorothy and Toto and the Scarecrow and the Tin Man and the Lion and the little Wizard. She talks about how the Wicked Witch got squashed and how the monkeys fly. She read
- [Silid Booklatan--Sharing the Awesomeness](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2012/03/19/silid-booklatan-sharing-the-awesomeness/) - I wasn’t keen on posting this on Rainy Days and Mom Days at first, because it isn’t quite a mommy/parenting topic. Then I realized that 1. I am a Mommy; 2. Promoting literacy and love for reading should be something important to all moms; and 3. If this post somehow prompts a reader to
- [Taco Salad--My Pseudo-Healthy Comfort Food](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2012/04/11/taco-salad-my-pseudo-healthy-comfort-food/) - Aside from fries, chips and dark chocolates, most of my comfort foods are made with ground meat. My mom has the most mouthwatering repertoire of ground meat dishes: cornburger and mashed potatoes, arroz ala (Tati) cubana, cream beef and bacon, spaghetti in tomato meat sauce, and taco salad. Of these, taco salad is the
- [Review: Thank You , God, for Blessing Me](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2012/02/08/review-thank-you-god-for-blessing-me/) - When we got our copy of Thank You, God, for Blessing Me, Breeze immediately commandeered it and declared it her “favorite book ever”. It’s a sturdy little board book, perfectly sized for her, and we are familiar with Max Lucado’s Hermie and friends characters, so I can see why she immediately took to it.
- [Review: My First Hands-On Bible](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2012/01/06/review-my-first-hands-on-bible/) - A review of My First Hands-On Bible, by a mom of a 4.5 year old and 18 month old.
- [Free Downloadable Planner Pages](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2011/12/16/free-downloadable-planner-pages/) - I love planners. I love getting all organized and listing down things to do and buy and see. I've been looking for a Mommy Planner that can help me keep my lives (mommy, wifey and Ree) in order. I actually planned on producing one to sell, but lack of time and capital prevented me from doing
- [Review: Vocabulary Spelling City](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2011/10/06/428/) - Raine and I are happy with the Funnix reading program we currently use, so while we use Sonlight as our main curriculum, I don’t use their Language Arts and Reading materials much. Lately though, Raine’s reading skills have improved phenomenally. She can read and comprehend chapter books by herself (she loves Boxcar Children and is
- [Memorizing Bible Verses](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2011/09/28/memorizing-bible-verses/) - Tips and some Bible verses your children can memorize
- [Vocabulary Spelling City](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2011/09/06/vocabulary-spelling-city/) - I did a review on Time4Learning a few months back, and Raine and I enjoyed our experience. This time, we've been invited to try out Vocabulary Spelling City, which is perfect, since Raine loves to make lists of spelling words. And she also loves playing Word Search (she actually makes her own Word Search games).
- [Easy Roast Pork and Vegetables with Gravy—from Scratch](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2011/07/01/easy-roast-pork-and-vegetables-with-gravy—from-scratch/) - I cooked this for The Hubby’s birthday dinner last week. I decided on the menu at about 3PM; sent The Hubby out to get some meat at about 3:30PM (yes, in the maniacal downpour, and on his birthday); started cooking a little past 4PM; and we had dinner at 6PM. I made a batch of
- [Can You Afford to be a Stay-at-Home-Mom? ](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2011/06/16/can-you-afford-to-be-a-stay-at-home-mom/) - Being a SAHM allows moms the luxury of spending time with their kids, doing fun stuff like whipping up a batch of cookies in the middle of a weekday. I guess the decision for me to be stay-at-home-mom—SAHM in mommy lingo—was more by default than anything else. I have already been working from home as
- [Homemade Bowling!](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2011/05/24/homemade-bowling/) - Cost of making this homemade bowling set? Negligible. Seeing that excitement and anticipation--priceless! We have dozens of empty water bottles at home, and rather than sending them to the recycling center, I decided to convert them into homemade bowling pins. We had hours of fun with these—even Daddy joined in! We played this out back,
- [Giveaway! 30 Days of Time4Learning Up for Grabs](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2011/04/25/giveaway-30-days-of-time4learning-up-for-grabs/) - I recently posted a review about Time4Learning's online learning program. In a nutshell, Raine and I both enjoyed it. We used the Kindergarten level. It had Math (which we focused on) and Language Arts, as well as Science. Higher levels also have Social Science and Art (Time4Learning has curriculum for Pre-K to 8th Grade). We
- [Review: Time4Learning (Kinder Level)](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2011/03/29/review-time4learning-kinder-level/) - I was invited to try out Time4Learning’s online curriculum for a month, in exchange for a fair review. Of course, freebie junkie that I am, I jumped at the chance. Also, I needed help teaching Math, since I was able to get the Funnix Reading program (free too!), and that took care of the reading.
- [The Adventures of Supercow](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2011/03/18/the-adventures-of-supercow/) - Welcome to the first Milk Mama Diaries Carnival (March). To celebrate National Women's Month, our participants share how breastfeeding has changed them as a woman. Please scroll down to the end of this post and check out the other carnival participants. I have been breastfeeding for four years straight. I breastfed Raine, my oldest daughter
- [Super Quick, Super Healthy Steamed Fish and Tomatoes](https://www.rainydaysandmomdays.com/2011/03/11/super-quick-super-healthy-steamed-fish-and-tomatoes/) - I can get this dinner on the table in 30 minutes—and it’s always gone in less than that. Aside from the obvious nutrition factor, the yumminess and the simplicity, the next great thing about this recipe is that it only needs one pot.
