Are you looking for a venue to showcase your homeschooled child’s talents and projects? Sponsored by HAPI, The 1st Homeschool Kids Fair gives our children a place to display their talents and exhibit their projects. Plus, if you have homeschool books and curriculum that’s only sitting around in your home, here is the place where you can sell them.
This will happen on May 21, 2011, 8AM to 12 Noon at the Valle Verde 5 Activity Center, Pasig City.
Fees:
To attend only: P100.00 / head
To display or perform: P50.00 / head
To join the Book Exchange: P150.00 / table
Here’s how it works:
My family of six is attending the fair, so I’m paying P600.00 for all of us. But my two children are performing at the fair so that’s an additional P50.00 each. My total fee is P700.00. If I want to sell my homeschool books, I pay another P150.00 table rental.
Here are the forms to register for the fair:
1. Step-by-step Registration Procedure
2. Registration Form to attend the fair
3. Event Guidelines for project display, talent performance and book exchange table
For inquiries, go to HAPI’s Facebook page or contact Irma Chua at 929-4933, 0921-712-7640 or email bihadjaj@yahoo.com.
SEE YOU THERE!

The premiere brand in baby gear, Aprica from Japan, is finally here in the Philippines. Used for years by the Imperial Family of Japan and other celebrities such as Richard Gere, Robert De Niro & Eva Herzigova, Aprica prides itself formost for the safety of their strollers and baby carriers.
All Aprica Baby Gear have been created with these 8 Key Points:
1. The baby can be laid down flat to prevent oxygen desaturation. Whether it’s the different varieties of strollers, car seats or the High-Low Bed & Chair, they all adjust so that baby can lay down flat.
2. The Open Air Marmolu Pad, situated under baby’s tender head, ensures freedom of respiration and correct posture.
3. The Thermo Medical System 
under baby’s back will regulate baby’s temperature. I thought this was really smart to have here in the Philippines because our children’s sweaty back is a major concern for parents.
4. Mother’s Radius Seat for its baby carriers will protect baby’s feet and hip joints. Again, a point of major concern for parents who like to wear their babies. With so many choices in the market, parents are choosier with the carrier they use.
5. A Comfortable Headrest to protect your baby’s head, neck and spine is found in the Aprica Strollers and Car Seats. A necessity for parents who prioritize their child’s safety and health.
6. Auto Biomedical Rocking Motion which creates a swinging rhythm to ensure baby’s natural sleeping pattern. I saw this in the High-Low Bed & Chair which is my favorite product.
7. The Capsule Multi Hood fou
nd in Aprica strollers protects baby from the heat of the sun.
8. Tri-Grip ensures baby’s correct gait and posture. I did not see a product yet that featured this.
Having said all of that, I thought that the Aprica Baby Gear are products that are of excellent quality and will truly provide safety, comfort and ease of use for its users. Since this is premiere baby gear, expect to shell out a big amount of money for these products. Prices range from P 4,000.00 and above for its baby carriers, P 27,000.00 and over for the different varieties of strollers, and a whopping P49,999.00 for its car seat. Buyers should not even be surprised with the prices because if you consider the quality, the safety and its reliability (you can use it for many, many years), the price is just right.
Would I buy one for myself? I would buy the High-Low Bed & Chair for its reasonable price of P 15,000.00 considering that it can be used from infancy as a rocking bed to toddlerhood as a high chair.
The products are currently available at SM’s Baby Company. Feel like you’d like to have one but it’s just too pricey? Well, Baby Company has found a way for its buyers to get a discount on Aprica products: Trade in your old but functional stroller and get P4,000.00 off on Aprica Strollers, Car Seats and High-Low Bed & Chair.
I would like to thank Aprica and LJS Group of Companies for inviting me to their launching at the Dragon Gate Seafood Restaurant. Special thanks to MSBolin for the invitation and to fellow mommy blogger Blessie for the referral. I truly enjoyed the opportunity to go to the launch and to meet fellow mommy bloggers Tina and Dainty Mom.

My sister and I are going off on vacation starting today. I am so excited to do this because it will be just the two of us. The last time we went on vacation together was about ten years ago. It’ll be a great time to just bond, see our relatives and go places.
The funny thing is that I can’t seem to decide what to pack. It feels so much harder now that I’m packing only for myself and not for the whole family. Oh, what to bring and what to leave home? Hehe! Digicam – check. Phone chargers – check. Bible and books – check. What I can’t decide is if I should bring my laptop or not. Sigh, well, we’ll see what happens.

I love this celebrating the New Year! When I was a child, it was being able to stay up late and waiting till midnight to watch the fireworks outside our home. As I grew into an adult, I would usually spend the waiting time writing or sometimes just thinking about my new year’s resolutions. Of course, growing up, I’ve come to realize that New Year’s resolutions are only great for the first few weeks of January, then it’s back to the same old habits.
Still, I love New Years! It’s not just about writing those resolutions. It’s about being able to recall the past, the good and the bad, and knowing that all that is past now. Now is another year to keep doing the good that you have been doing in the past. But more importantly, the new year is our God-given opportunity to grow from past mistakes, to correct what we have done wrong. New Year is about hope – the hope that God always makes available to everybody.
The best thing about placing our hope in God, is that we don’t have to wait for the start of every new year to start over again, to do better or to change our ways. Every morning, I wake up and look out of my bedroom window, I thank the Lord over and over for the sun that shines outside. I thank Him for his mercies are new every morning. Every day, I can hope again. I can forget my yesterdays, and do better today.
The faithful love of the Lord never ends!
His mercies never cease.
Great is his faithfulness;
his mercies begin afresh each morning.
Lamentations 3:22-23 (NIV)

Aims to Bring Awareness of Family Media Intake Versus Real Life Interaction
Nashville, Tenn. Dec. 15, 2010… After a season filled with record-setting cell phone and gaming gifts to teens and tweens, iShine is announcing the upcoming Dec. 26 release of the Family Media Diet Calculator. The calculator is a new tool providing customized awareness to families in regards to how much time they spend connected to media in comparison to the amount of hours they spend plugged in with real life interaction and content consumption.
By visiting http://www.familymediadiet.com, parents nationwide will be able to plug in amounts of time their families spend texting, browsing online, consuming television and more. They will then be able to print a free custom analysis of where their families are spending their time in comparison to their involvement in recreational and faith-based activities along with family time and reading. The campaign is not an anti-technology movement. It is about use awareness and being intentional about the content.
It is estimated that the 20 million tweens in this country spend 25 hours a week watching television and playing video games and only one hour in church. George Barna (The Barna Group), a pioneer in research on Christian culture, recently noted that kids spend more time absorbing media than anything else in their lives, except sleeping. A recent article in The New York Times titled “Growing Up Digital, Wired for Distraction” (insert link - http://www.nytimes.com/2010/11/21/technology/21brain.html?_r=1&src=me&ref=technology) also discussed the effects of technology compared to focusing and learning.
“We as parents must be deliberate of what media our kids consume, understanding that it is forming the way our kids look at everything – self image, friends, parents, leaders, themselves,” remarks iShine Founder and Chief Creative Officer Robert Beeson. “If we as parents aren’t actively forming the person our kid’s are becoming – make no mistake – someone else is.”
iShine, known for bringing family-friendly media options through tours, music, television and radio mediums, is sponsoring the free Media Diet Calculator. The organization will also be releasing a new interactive Bible for tweens with Tyndale House Publishers in Feb. of 2011.

More about iShine:
iShine is a Christian media group dedicated to ministering to “tweens” and their families. Tweens are defined as children between the ages of 7 and 13, and represent the single most influential age group in the world today. Mainstream media and consumer marketing groups focus their messages of identity, popularity and value predominately to the “tween” marketplace for a reason. iShine reaches today’s “tweens” through Biblically-based live concerts events (iShineLIVE!), unique television programming seen weekly on TBN (iShine KNECT), iShine artist releases to CD and DVD, interactive websites and coming in 2011, an entire line of books and Bibles all specifically designed to be relevant to this vital audience.
