  • School of Rock

    Hello everybody! I’m Alyanna. I’ve always wanted to learn how to play the guitar so that I can play music for my family. Guess what? Now I can! Why? Because I went to the School of Rock!   When I was invited to the School of Rock, I was excited to go. But as the […]

  • Faith Like a Child: On Believing God for a Boy

    In less than two months, we shall be having another addition to our family. Let’s see… I honestly have mixed emotions now. It’s funny because I actually feel like a first-time mom all over again. Of course, it is a given that we are beyond excited for the coming of our new baby. At the […]

  • Defining Your Goal

    I am expressing milk, about to rush off to an event as I write this. The past weeks have been pretty much this way. So many things to do, so many people to meet, so many places to go to…..so little time. Well, the amount of time given us has always been the same. It’s […]

  • Your Child’s Hidden Talent

    We just recently discovered that one of our daughters have an amazing talent of impersonation. And can I just say, she is really good at it!

  • Falling Asleep

    I’m ready to confess. A couple of nights ago, the girls woke up in the middle of the night and transferred to our room.

  • Lessons from a Four-year Old: On Sisterhood

    Last night, I overheard an irritated older sister talk to her younger sister in a manner that is not tolerated in our household.

  • I’m Sorry

    Lately I’ve noticed that I’ve been saying sorry quite a lot to my girls. Alyanna noticed this, too. She just asked me, “Mom! Why do you keep on saying sorry??” To which I answered, “Because I’ve been doing so many things wrong!” This is the usually how it goes: Me: “You know, I have to say something […]
