A Special Visit to Holy Infant Clinic

We recently had the incredible opportunity to visit the Holy Infant Clinic, the place where all our precious children were born! It was a heartwarming experience as we reunited with Dr. Zarate and the midwives who played such a significant role in bringing our little ones into the world.

 
Meeting them again filled our hearts with gratitude and joy. Their expertise, care, and compassion during those precious moments will forever hold a special place in our hearts. We were truly blessed to have such dedicated professionals by our side, ensuring the safe arrival of our little miracles.
 
As we walked through the halls of the clinic, memories of each child's birth flooded our minds. The anticipation, the excitement, and the overwhelming love that filled the air were palpable once again. We couldn't help but feel a deep sense of gratitude for the blessings we have been given.
 
The opportunity to introduce our children to the doctor and midwives who were there during their birth was priceless. It was a beautiful moment of connection and gratitude, as we witnessed the smiles and warmth exchanged between them. Our children were able to see firsthand the incredible individuals who helped bring them into this world.
 
We are forever grateful to the Holy Infant Clinic and its dedicated team for their exceptional care and support. They have become a part of our family's story, and we will always cherish the memories we made within those walls.

Raising Grateful Children in an Entitled World

Image
Raising grateful children can be a challenging but crucial task for parents in today's world, where materialism and instant gratification is the norm. The concept of entitlement is pervasive, with children often expecting things to be handed to them without understanding the value of hard work or appreciation for what they have. As parents, it is essential to instill a sense of gratitude in our children to help them become empathetic, humble, and appreciative individuals. Here are some approaches to raising grateful children in a world where entitlement is prevalent: Lead by Example   Children learn by observing the behavior of their parents and caregivers.

All You Need To Know About Teaching English Online

Image
I've had a wonderful English Teaching career online that has spanned for more than 10 years. In my Ebook , "Homebased Work for Mommies, All you need to know about Teaching English Online" , I tell you about how I became a freelance Online English Teacher while doing my daily mommy tasks to my four children. I give some tips I've learned along the way to help you do the same.  We might define success differently but in life, almost everybody wants to be more successful by earning more money, have a nicer home, a nicer car and enjoy the good things in life. However, in the process of achieving and acquiring these things, our family relationships are compromised. Some work for hours outside the home or even outside the country, leaving their families behind. Before getting into our online business, I had a regular full-time 8-5 job outside the home for 5 years. I knew how it felt to miss attending a child's PTA meetings, school activities, and e...

Children and Sundays

Image
Keeping our children in church was not always easy, but it was worth the effort! We have been doing it for years before this pandemic. From their very first Sunday for their naming and blessing to the ordaining of our youngest son as a deacon.  We went to church with all the bags packed, clothes buttoned up, shoes slipped on and all. As I observe, having one baby in church can be difficult for some. Fathers and mothers taking turns in taking out a crying or yelling child.  Having a baby, a toddler, a preschooler, and a first grader in church felt like a marathon and was exhausting. Stopping a baby from crawling out of the aisle, while another child needs reminder to sit still. It was noisy, messy, distracting, and so on. Whew!  Well, yes. I even can't imagine now how we managed to do them for about 16 years!Thanks to my diligent husband. For years before Sundays, he would usually see to it that everything was prepared. He gets the clothes mend...

General Conference and Children

Image
As parents, we can help our children, whatever their age, learn from the general conference. This is a great opportunity to teach them about recognizing the Spirit and about responding to things they learned and felt and have their own spiritual experiences. Even after the live or rebroadcast, we can do much to enhance our children's experience with the doctrine and principles taught at general conference by talking about the impressions we all wrote during the sessions and what we all learned. It's not always easy especially when our children were younger but we praise them for their reverence and their attentiveness.  These photos were taken on 9th April 2017 at Baguio Stake Center (Legarda Chapel). One of our family traditions in between sessions was to find a shady spot around the church ground, spread out our picnic mat and enjoy together the packed meals and treats.  Recently, we watch conferences live at home or aired in our local tv station but the #conf...
