  • Effective versus Efficient

    Effective versus Efficient

    We don’t have cable TV at home, so sometimes, I consider it a treat to browse through channels whenever I am staying in a hotel when on vacation. I don’t know why. Still, I sometimes find myself watching and actually being fascinated with those home TV shopping networks selling multi-purpose products. Quite frankly, I find […]

  • Start the Week Right

    Start the Week Right

    It’s been quite  a while since I last shared my thoughts here, hasn’t it? That was on purpose. I wanted to be more focused on being with the kids, with as little distraction (as if that could really happen) as possible. So since last year, the only social media app I retained on my phone was Instagram, and […]

  • I Wanted to Fight Like Mayweather

    Much has been said about the “fight of the century” last Sunday, that turned out to be not as exciting as all the previous fights Manny Pacquiao has fought. This post is not at all a commentary about what transpired, because I love watching Manny fight, but that’s about it—I don’t really know much about […]

  • When the Guilt Strikes…

    I was on the phone with Dennis last night, and I heard myself once again uttering the words that I find myself saying every so often…“I feel so guilty.”  “I feel so guilty because I haven’t been able to plan for this week’s homeschool yet.” “I feel so guilty because I slept for a whole […]

  • Parenting the Smart Gilas Way

    I love this story of how David came to be anointed as king over Israel. For the sake of keeping this post short (and getting to my point sooner), let me summarize and highlight the main verses that struck me as I was reading through this passage. Here’s the summary: Israel asked the prophet Samuel for […]

  • Five Powerful Little Words When Raising a Family

    Do you sometimes hear yourself saying (or sighing) “So little time, so much to do”? I think most of us have said this at some point, especially once we started having kids. Housework never gets done; the kids always manage to find a way to warrant your immediate attention; work outside of home often starts […]

  • Lessons from the Goose Family

    Since the “official start” of summer, I have been seeing social media updates by moms expressing relief and rejoicing over the fact that they can now finally breathe and relax. No more school means no more grades to think about, no more requirements to fulfill, no more schedules to keep…..at least this is what many […]

  • Investing in the Next Five to Ten Years

    I’m not sure you remember, but if you’ve been following this blog from the time of its birth, then the word “Mom-Me” would ring a bell with you. Each time you landed on my page, you would see “Mom-Me” written in very large font, right at the center of the header. Though that header has […]

  • Called and Covered

    I’m back! 🙂 Yay! Dennis and I just came back from the National Singles Getaway in Dubai. What a refreshing time to be able to meet and minister to the men and women from our different locations in UAE. Last week was a milestone for me, as it was my first time to leave Isaiah, […]

  • Parenting Lessons from Jim Redmond

    I’ve seen this video a couple of times before (I think I was still single then!), and it always moved me to tears. For no particular reason, I decided to search for this clip on Youtube earlier this morning. As expected, I found myself in tears again, but this time reminded of some things about […]
