Create 5 Areas in the House to Promote Study Habits in Young Children

Initially, I thought of writing about effective study habits in teens. My son, giving his all at the premiere science highschool is reflective of the study habits he has acquired through the years. But much as I wanted to, I could not or would not. I guess I am not the resource person anymore -especially on that topic. I have to interview my son on that. Plus, I do not…

The Cooking Journey of a New Cook

    Writing for the blog had to take the backseat last year, ( especially late last year ) when cooking for the family took the wheel. Had the blog been a child, I would most likely be charged with parental neglect. But my “blogging hiatus” if I may call it, brought me so much learnings, in spite of major league undertakings. I had to put extra attention, on both…

They Might Be Giants : Here Comes Science

2021. Today, my son is now a teenager in the premiere science high school in the country. I am not the resource person on bringing up a teenager because I still am new to this. My son has no interest in guesting on my blog, so the most I can do is talk about back when he was little. Or go back to posts that helped me bring him up to…
