Looking forward to reading your reflections.

This week I have been thinking about what to do for Chirstmas. I have been reading Simplemom’s 12 weeks to a peaceful christmas . It has many tips on how to carry out your christmas shopping.

Christmas is one celebration which is a big thing in our family. Everyone will fly in so that the family can be together celebrating this festival.

This year I am thinking of how I can be more frugal with the rising cost of items. I have decided on doing more homemade items for friends and relatives. It would be more meaningful and there would be less hassle shopping for the perfect present for each person.

Doing homebakes as a “family” present.
Using my photoshopping skills and making nice e-cards, e-presents for family that are overseas.

How will your family be doing their Christmas
shopping this year?

Easter – A Time for Spritual Evaluation

Next Sunday is Easter Sunday. The 40 days of lent is almost over. During this period of lent I have been thinking about how to start the boys on their journey to understanding GOD. Spiritual education , to me, is also an important part in their holistic education.

We are Catholics and the boys have been baptized when they were born. I haven’t really introduced the boys much to our faith besides the weekly church service and now Ryan is attending Sunday School since he is in K1.

I bought this book for Ryan last year or so as a tool to introduce him to reading the bible. Unfortunately we are still stuck in Genesis and I have yet to make our way down to the other books in the bible.

DLTK-Bible is an interesting site which has lots of printable activities relating to the bible. While browsing over at that site I came across songs, poems and crossword puzzles which pre-schoolers would enjoy doing. There are activities even suitable for 2-3yr old. I intend to use these activities to supplement our weekly bible reading.

How do you intend to build up your child’s spiritual quotient?
