Senior Writer / I am a proud, hands-on, homeschooling mom to a dynamic trio: two teen daughters with personalities as different as night and day and a son with boundless energy and a knack for science.
I've studied Family Life, Child Development, Early Childhood Education, Parenting, Marriage, and Nutrition - and I'm here to spill the beans on all the insider secrets I've gathered along the way.
I was also part of an incredible organization that worked with at-risk mothers, teaching them the ABCs of parenting, the magic of positive discipline, and the art of homemaking. At the University of the Philippines, I studied General Psychology, Adolescence and Adulthood, Family Life, and Child Development.
