4th wedding anniversary wonderment

Marriage is a daily ecstatic battle. We believe that celebrating our union thrice a year is cool..(the imperative dates we were civilly wedded,churchly bonded ,and the 1st day love knocked on our hearts)... Happy 4th anniversary,gp! I love you more each day!

Aster's fortune :-)




a pop's all out love ...

Homeschooling moms,try this!

A surprisingly easy way to teach your toddler how to read! 

Just take photos of common words,let your toddler scan them before going to sleep,and voila! 

My Aster can now read 3-letter words! Unbelievably effective! We have also started voice recorded vocabulary lessons.Loved by kids, super approved by moms! hehe

My bizarre homeschool program :-)


I make daily lessons for my toddler,which we usually discuss (15 minutes max) after dinner or before going to sleep.

Click each pic and get started now ;-) ..
Explore,be creative,and choose a unique approach to teaching your youngsters at home,before entering formal education :-)
