To My Little Easter People

May 31, 2020 By Tammy Leave a Comment

Dearest I,J, K and PeL, It is Saturday, on the 7th week of Easter. I started writing you guys this letter during Holy Week, hoping to finish my thoughts by Easter Sunday. Of course, it didn’t happen, and my hope was, that I would wrap up my letter by Pentecost. I have a few more […]

Feast Days and Forgiveness

May 20, 2019 By Tammy Leave a Comment

May 19 is our feast day. Our little town, San Jose, is celebrating (or already did, since they’re ahead by a day) in an exciting way. Our 200+ year old parish church has been conferred as an Archdiocesan Shrine of Saint Joseph. As I was doing my homework (I’ve joined a group of women in […]

I Still Want To Be Like Mom

November 17, 2017 By Tammy Leave a Comment

I stumbled upon an old blog post (Read it here! Written in 2004) about how I wanted to be a mom, and more specifically, like my mom. I wrote it almost 14 years ago. The way I wrote it is embarrassing (I’d like to think my writing has improved with time), but everything I shared […]

On Saturday, the Raya School Naga will be having an Entrep Fair to raise funds for their Bayanihan Project.

Halloween Thrills at Avenue Square

October 31, 2015 By Tammy Leave a Comment

This is the first year that J participated in the Halloween activities at Avenue Square (and he was lucky enough to trick-or-treat twice!). Our little boy has grown old enough to appreciate candy and enjoy running around with the mob. Armed with his recycled loot bag, Halloween Thrills passport, and Superman costume, the little lakwatsero […]

Serendra Halloween

October 29, 2015 By Tammy Leave a Comment

Trick or Treating is definitely evolving. Home owner associations, villages and other organizations are becoming more creative with their Halloween activities for kids. It was a Serendra Halloween for our boys this year. On October 25, the boys were able to participate (sort of) in their first Halloween event. Serendra had different activities and goodies […]

He is Risen (Easter Reflections)

April 6, 2015 By Tammy Leave a Comment

The bells are ringing. The Easter vigil has begun. I can hear muffled voices – but I doubt it is coming from the church. Perhaps it is someone singing Karaoke to celebrate the risen Lord. To be honest, silencing my heart, settling my thoughts and connecting with Christ has become more challenging over the past […]
