DAY 4
It's such a lazy day today. It rained the whole morning. Kids were lazy in getting up but I took that time to source out for stuffs to do with my kids.
As usual, the boys had to do their reading. And for the rest of the day, it was pretty easy going.
There were some stuffs which needed to be done. So yea, thats just what we did today... might just pick a good movie and watch with them later.
I love spending that time with my kids. Watching movies and have a our little Q&As.
It may not remain like this for long. But who knows? :) Unschooling them for now... seems such a great idea <3 Letting my sons (though they are 14yrs) re-exploring their world. Going on fieldtrips with them. The excitement on their faces is enough credit for me.
Have a blessed day!

DAY 3
I am a mum who loves to inculcate the love for books, drama, opera, literature...
Today, I got my kids into the room again. This time we watched some movies by our honoured and loved actor ROBIN WILLIAMS.
Its indeed sad that he's no longer here but his talents and wonderful movies will always live with us.
I chose to watch Dead Poets Society. Ah! It brings back so much memories of my younger days :)
To quote:
"If we shadows have offended, Think but this, and all is mended, That you have but slumber'd here While these visions did appear. And this weak and idle theme, No more yielding but a dream, Gentles, do not reprehend: if you pardon, we will mend: And, as I am an honest Puck, If we have unearned luck Now to 'scape the serpent's tongue, We will make amends ere long; Else the Puck a liar call; So, good night unto you all. Give me your hands, if we be friends, And Robin shall restore amends. "
If you have not seen this classic movie, please do take time to enjoy this beautiful movie.
Heres a trailer for you.
On this very same day, we watched Mrs Doubtfire. It's really a beautiful family movie. Mrs. Doubtfire is a 1993 film comedy about a family separated by an impending divorce. The father takes on the job as the family housekeeper, unbeknownst to his ex, who believes him to be an elderly Scottish woman.
You can watch the movie here ,
Have an awesome weekend!

DAY 2
Its was an interesting night. We did something out of the ordinary. We watch movies as part of our studies.
There are indeed some really good movies on the net which have good grounding and morals.
Our first movie was Mr. Peabody & Sherman.
Do Check it out the trailer here and maybe watch it with your kids.
Our second movie was Cloudy with a chance of Meatballs 2.
Watch the trailers here and here
So, the day was indeed another simple day. Until we finally do start our planned shedule. Lol. Well, when we do. ;)

DAY 1
I know, It's been 2 months plus since my last posting. Life have been a roller coaster
Firstly, after my last post, we went to see a Homeschool centre. Its pretty nice, very homely and what I like best is it's Christ centered. :)
Oh well...
It didn't quite work out though :/. Financially, we're not prepared for it. So, you know, the whole hula-baloo..
Anyway, to cut a long story short, irregardless, I have already decided whether with or without a centre, either way, my boys would be homeschool.
So, today depicts the very first day of my exciting journey.
We didn't do that much today. I wanted to reinculcate the love for books in them. So, yeap! we did reading today!
I would say, it was a pretty good start (well, for starters! Lol)
So after they have read their book, I told them to write a summary in their own words and their opinions. :)
Yea, that was our day today <3 <3 <3
