Top 10 Reasons Why We Miss Preschool

I probably would've earned a PhD in Preschool Parenting, had there been such a thing! These years were formative to my children's confidence and social maturity, and I wanted to be part of it. I have been a preschooler's Mommy for the last 7 consecutive years (with my 3 kids' preschooling combined), and when my son moved up from preschool, I suddenly realized that I was also FINALLY moving up!

My children's experience in preschool has been an enjoyable and memorable experience for the entire family that even up to this day, they would browse their workbooks and fondly reminisce how life was so fun and simple in preschool --- no homework and no periodical exams! Their fondness towards their preschool years can be attributed to the vibrant and well-balanced curriculum that they had at The Learning Connection (TLC) Preschool.

In Search of the Dream Home: 7 House-Hunting Tips

I have always envisioned building a life and creating memories with my husband and kiddos in a home where we can plant roots and call our own. I had the fortune of growing up in a home that my parents' owned, a home that was built and finished a few months before I was born. It's where I spent the first 20 years of my life, before going off to a province far, far away for my first work assignment. Home was my constant, no matter where I was assigned. Even my kiddos love staying over my parents' for long weekends and summer vacations. Every nook and cranny has a history, a story of evolution to keep up with the times. And I want the same experience for my young family. :-)

Don't Miss a Shot: 2017 Immunization Schedule

I've written about Childhood Immunization back in 2015 and shared how I keep track of my 3 kids' schedules. If you have kids above the age of 2 years, you'd be surprised to know that 2 more vaccines have been added to the recommended schedule for Dengue (still controversial) & Japanese Encephalitis, given the increasing cases being reported. So if your kids are under the age of 18, best to review this schedule to see which vaccines still applies to them.

Ex-Employees & Benefits

This August 15 marks 15 years to the day I started my first job with corporate giant P&G as 20-year old fresh graduate. It was a colorful 8-year & 10-month run to say the least, having my fair share of victories, failures, great mentors, and horrible bosses. In the same period of time, I've also transitioned from single adulthood to married motherhood. I experienced my passion shift from my career to my young family. I no longer enjoy overtime as a means to while my time away before going home to an empty apartment, but instead itched to come home, hoping to catch my babies still awake. Which was close to NEVER with the daily carmaggedon in the metro (*cue tears*).
