Hi parents! Welcome to another school year! Have you guys started? It's our 2nd week of homeschooling for School Year 2022-2023. So here's a little homeschool update.

We're still homeschooling for this school year until who knows when. I don't see myself sending Zoe to a normal school for face-to-face classes yet, even if she's fully vaccinated.

I now have a second grader! Wow, that was fast! It's also our 3rd year of homeschooling under our homeschool provider, Casa Del Libro. Our program is still Independent learning, for those who are new here on our blog. 

So what's new?

We're slowly trying to get back to our homeschooling routine and taking things one at a time. We're doing 2 subjects a day, so Zoe won't be overwhelmed. As I am writing this blog, I am also nursing Zoe as she suddenly got a high fever last night. 

For this school year, our primary goal is to master the basic lessons and fundamentals for each subject as the curriculum is just the same but with a different level of difficulty. 

How about you and your learner/s? Did you set up your goals already? If not yet, here's a template that can help you plan your goals for this school year.

An open letter to my daughter on her 7th birthday. You love writing letters but now it's mommy's turn to give a smile on your face as you read this letter. 

To my Zoe,

Seven years ago, you came unexpectedly.

My life changed 360 degrees, but I wouldn't trade it for anything.

Because since the moment I first saw you, I became whole.

Thank you for completing mommy.

Seven beautiful years with you.

Seven years of solo parenthood.

Seven years of exclusively breastfeeding.

Seven years of cosleeping.

Seven years of waking up to your morning snuggles and kisses.

Seven years of having you as my little best friend.

No fancy birthday party for your 7th, unlike your 1st birthday. Instead, we celebrated your birthday by traveling to enjoy the beach and went to an amusement park to celebrate. Building core memories matters, especially now that we're still in a pandemic.

I see a lot of me in you, but you are a lot better.

You are the sweetest, loving, and caring little person I know.

You are so intelligent, talented, gifted, creative, passionate, and patient.

You are a beauty inside and outside.

You can do anything and everything!

Most importantly, know that you are loved by so many!

Mom will always be here to support and cheer for you.

Thank you for being you, I couldn’t ask for more in a daughter.

As much as I hope time could slow down, I'm excited and looking forward to everything that you’ll learn and experience this year. Know that the universe belongs to you, and you shall have it. Continue to shine bright and bloom into the best version of yourself every year. I wish and pray that God will continue to guide us in this journey. May all your wishes and dreams come through. 

Seven years have passed by so quickly, and I am sure it has been the best seven years! I will always be thankful that you came into my life. Thank you for choosing me to be your, mom. And to that someone, thank you for giving me a beautiful daughter to share this journey with. No worries, we're genuinely happy that it's just the two of us since day 0. 

Happiest birthday, my little one!

 You will always be mom's baby no matter how old you are. 

I love you so much, and I hope you know that! 

Let's continue to teach and learn from each other as we navigate this journey.

To more balloons we'll pop, candles to blow. cake to bake, albums and merch to buy, fangirling over BTS and beaches to see and explore! 

Love,

Mom
