W hen I was young, I was lucky to have access to music in different forms and styles. It was so accessible we actually took it for granted and for a time, wasted the opportunity. My mother was a piano teacher, the best basic piano teacher in our small town. She knows how to make a person play a musical instrument with information that sticks as a core memory. Not just the easy playing style that would make you copy playing a piece and when the session ends you will never play the instrument again. She is good in theory and possibly child psychology or people reading she can customize a curriculum so that you can eventually play the instrument, find your own time to go back again, and still could play and progress even after the session. However, she was my mother and I never was into making music as a passion so I didn't like my Saturday playtime and TV time stopped by piano practice and lessons during my you...
August 19 may be a milestone of sorts for J. Today we have delivered our first batch of merchandise to a legit artisan store that hosts creations of acknowledged artists, crafters and makers. Hey Kessy with branches in Alabang Town Center and UP Town Center is her debut store. We am so proud because her works have been getting positive feedbacks from her little Instagram space where we initially wanted to archive her doodles that eventually became projects that are Hey Kessy worthy!

We had to push her for pencil skills as we did not want her to do another playschool and be accepted in Kinder. Glad that I had a sister who is into child dev and asked us one question. Is anybody at home writing on paper? Being with 2 adults, our household needed a lifestyle change, we made an effort to forget Onenote, and Evernote and made an extra effort to write on paper. I was a phone - tablet - laptop yielding corporate mom. My hubby also only uses the phone, tablet, and desktop. Things had to change. Monkey sees monkey does. I was lucky to have an office near a paper warehouse where they consider manila paper-sized cuts of (beautiful) paper as spoilage I can take home. My ink...
