He Will Shine!

The world is full of surprises
But there's always a happy tomorrow
Like the colors of the rainbow
We will shine, we will shine


KUMON.

I enrolled my son in Kumon Reading Program last April this year and in a very short period of time I see how he improved a lot in writing letters and reading. He can now read phrases and short sentences at a very young age, and I am very proud to say that at this stage in the program he is at the Bronze level already way advance for his age,  and looking forward to reaching the Gold before their recognition day early next year.




I am very happy to make this choice for my son's early learning school,  and I am planning to continue with it even if he will go to big school next year.

Very proud of you son. Keep it up.

Gift Goodies

Christmas is just around the corner and I am proud to say that I am done with my Christmas shopping and gift wrapping but I am planning to do some goodies baking just like last year with the help of my son to be given to some relatives and friends.

My husband would like me to make Foods for the Gods this time aside from the coconut macaroons I did last time. I think it's a good idea aside from the fact that it's one of my favorite too.

So here's the recipe:

 

FOODS FOR THE GODS


2 whole eggs
2 cups sugar
1 cup melted butter
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup chopped dates
1 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
1 cup all purpose flour
  
Procedure:

1.     Preheat oven 300ºF
2.     In a bowl beat egg, add sugar, butter, nuts and dates. Fold in sifted dry ingredients.
3.     Pour in 13x9 inches rectangular pan.
4.     Baked for 30-40 minutes.


Book worth reading


While waiting for my son's one hour Kumon class I always make it a point that I have something to read that will occupy my time which will make the waiting worth while, productive and  fast. I recently had this book Simplify and Create Abundance (How to be Really Wealthy Without Rubbing Your Soul) written by one of my favorite writer and spiritual blogger Bo Sanchez

The book was just small and handy but inspite of that it thought me big lessons and inspiring ideas to create abundance in life without sacrificing one's inspiritual life.

I've learned so much about this book about handling finances, having the right attitude in fulfilling your dreams, discplining your kids and most of all sharing the blessings.

I hope you guys can get a copy of this book. Who knows you might be the next millionaire inspired after reading it.
