All is quiet in the house except the keyboard strikes that I make.

I want to share some updates about our homeschooling journey so far. My first born Marina is soon to finish her 8^th grade with 3 more Saxon Math tests and I just have to finish  grading her final English 8 research paper.

Initially, I was encouraging her to write about Young Entrepreneurs. Then, I was really strongly suggesting to her to research about the latest Canadian Law on Cannabis. She countered with  the negative. She preferred to tackle homeschooling. I was like, What?

Anyway, she had the last say, and she is now working on the bibliography of her topic: Saint Catherine Laboure.

She was happy to announce to her sibling that I gave her a tentative 90%  with a promise of increasing the grade if she is fully done.

My youngest, Marcelina , will finish her 2^nd grade hopefully by January 2019. She just got a reward from her dad for being able to tell the time correctly after like several weeks of challenge.

I intend to focus on her multiplication table mastery so she can tackle division.

She has to improve on her penmanship and paragraph writings. She was happy to make revisions on her work today with different kinds of sentence. She was full of gusto to work with exclamation sentences.

I was propelled to write again my 3 different blogs, bible reflections, fit and fab journey to 50 and homeschooling after reading my favorite blogger Joy Mendoza of Teach with Joy. I just learned she is pregnant with her 6^th child.

She is writing more with raw and brutal honesty regarding handling conflicts with her husband and handling children bickering and rivalry and being tired and stressed and feeling inadequate.

Each and every time I read her blogs, I get so empowered and inspired to continue my kindred journey with much faith, hope and love in my heart to do the things I do while remembering the whys.

I continue to pray for her, her safe and healthy pregnancy and delivery, her children, her husband, family and friends and advocacies. May our good Lord continue to bless her abundantly and powerfully.
