Modern Day Stripling Warriors
Posted in Family, Parenthood on April 3, 2008 | No Comments »
One of my favorite stories in the Book of Mormon is the story of the Helaman’s 2000 Strippling Warrior. In the Book of Alma 53: 20

The “end of the school-year” syndrome
Posted in Family, Parenthood on March 12, 2008 | No Comments »
No doubt that my children are naturally smart because when they were in primary they easily were in the honors list including my boys. As the years passed, however, they spent more time on everything except studying. But there is that particular time of the year when I as a Mom is so proud [...]
My eye-glasses . . .my friend!

A few weeks ago, I assisted a Genealogy teacher teach her class and as I did, I would once in a while leave my eye-glasses on the table-top as I made some blackboard demonstrations. To make the story short, I left my glasses in the classroom and realized the error only when I was [...]

Our Children’s eye care
Posted in Parenthood on February 8, 2008 | No Comments »
We go to the dentist for our children’s dental check-up but often miss the regular visit to an opthalmologist/optometrist. I learned my lesson the hard way. Last year Kay Celine (15) and Jason (13) were diagnosed with severe astigmatism and Jason even had danger signs of glaucoma (eventually it was ruled out). What if [...]

Our lives became entwined when I became the Beehive teacher of her two beautiful daughters Bambi and Kay [...]
