Missing GMA


President Arroyo is holding her first Cabinet meeting of the year down south in Iligan City. Malacanang says this is to underline the commitment to pursue the Mindanao peace process. Perhaps. Ahead of any photos of the Cabinet meeting among the last images Filipinos have seen of their president during the loooong Christmas break have been her family picture visiting Sagada, her Rizal Day visit to La Union, several provincial project visits, and her day with the dolphin. Anything amiss here?

Bicycle Commuting Mama: Feeling Good. Except Where I Hurt.


I had a great ride to and from work today!  I was surprised, because I’d been having such a hard time back in the fall.  Aside from my frequent mechanical failures, I often felt like I was struggling just to keep the bike moving.  Small hills nearly had me in tears.  And in the evenings, I collapsed, unable to pull myself out of my chair to do anything for my family. Today’s commute was easy.  All I can figure is that my body got plenty of rest over the winter break, while at the same time I s

Jesus Is Watching You….


A burglar broke into a Catholic Family’s home one night. He shined his flashlight around, looking for valuables; when he heard, a strange voice echoing from the dark saying, ‘Jesus is watching you.’ He nearly jumped out of his skin, clicked his flashlight off, and froze. After awhile when he heard nothing more, he shook his head and continued. Just as he pulled the stereo out so he could disconnect the wires, clear as a bell he heard, ‘Jesus is watching you.’ Freaked out, he shin

Personal Notes


(Disclaimer: When I write these little personal updates, I have terrible grammar and it can be hard to follow!) I feel like my blog is becoming like my family scrapbook and getting quite the shaft these days, but I just can’t seem to catch up and write very often. Lately the hour or two I have after the children are down consists of recovering my housework, school planning, emails, or doing some creative unwinding. I really like to knit, read, or draw when it is quiet at night. I tend to knit a

Photography by Nicole excels at newborn/child portraits


Photography by Nicole excels at newborn/child portraits January 6th, 2009 When it comes to professional photos of your infant, you want the best, someone who has a knack for capturing the little things that we have a hard time remembering: details such as the tiniest toes, curious hands or those sweet expressions that we sometimes forget. Local photographer and SouthernMamas sponsor Nicole Williams excels in all types of photos from weddings to family portraits, but she’s especially enamored

The Heroine’s Style Is Best Described As “Mouthy”…


Ah, Costco…you love to hate it and hate to love it.  Hrm actually, I just plain love it because I’ve come to accept some of the negative things about it.  Sure, while two people buying things at Costco is at times “shopping on overkill”, most of their foodstuffs are simply the best so we continue to act like gluttonous and spoiled Americans.  Ten gallons of chicken salad? Sure, I mean hi…it’s got the word salad in it.  A huge pecan pie that could feed a family of 10?  Why not?  It’s the best p
