Michigan Summer Vacation 2025-Direct Flight to Grand Rapids from DFW via American Airlines ( Momimhar posted on July 22nd, 2025 )

We’re finally able to visit dear husband’s best friend in Michigan this year. They had been talking and planning about this for a while now. Thankfully, everything worked as planned. Darling daughter and I were very excited because we’ll be meeting his best buddy and his family. Also, we’ll be seeing part of Michigan where my husband lived during junior high school years-Manistee.

We flew American Airlines’ direct flight to Grand Rapids from Dallas-Fort Worth. Very convenient departing and arrival times to and from our destination which we had been comparing cheap flights with other airlines for weeks. After lots of talks, dear husband agreed flying American Airlines. 😀

We had an amazing trip. Although one of our baggage was delayed, we just waited for it to show up with the next flight to Grand Rapids that afternoon. Good thing it wasn’t lost. Haha. While waiting for that baggage, we headed to the Hertz car rental office to pick up the SUV we rented. I was very happy because it was upgraded to a bigger SUV. We had a lot of space for our stuff when we travel along. It was a Volkswagen Atlas.

After all that verification process at the car rental company, we went ahead and settled our luggage in the car and entered the baggage claim area again to wait for the delayed one which came in two and a half hours. After that, we left the airport and drove straight to Kalamazoo where the Air Zoo Museum is.

2025 Vacation Bible School-Live It Out Now ( Momimhar posted on June 23rd, 2025 )

One of the things I love whenever summer comes is the VBS or Vacation Bible School. As far as I can remember, I have attended VBS when I was in 2nd Grade in the Philippines. I also remember not many children attended the VBS in my neighborhood. So it was quite a very close interaction with the volunteer teachers and a very thorough Bible lessons. We even got awards when the VBS concluded. It was a very fun and happy experience for me. During those times, I began to develop the understanding of faith in the Almighty.

Four years ago, I registered my child to attend the VBS in my area. And at the same time, I registered to volunteer to serve. Although there are several assignments, I chose to serve as one of the teachers in one of the Kindergarten classes. Volunteers had to do and pass a highly important online training regarding child’s safety. Gladly I passed it. The VBS in my area is huge so the need of volunteers and training them was vital to it’s success.

VBS theme varies every year. This year, it’s a Team Spirit theme. It’s like a pep rally when it’s Big Group time. Songs of praise, instrumentals, and Bible lesson review are done in Big Group gathering.

VBS is fun and educational. The youth will not only enjoy the age-appropriate activities organized for them, but also they will learn a lot about Jesus and being a good person.

Have you attended a Vacation Bible School before?

Happy Father’s Day to our Daddy ( Momimhar posted on June 15th, 2025 )

Here darling daughter serving her daddy tea while playing Tea Party. Toddler stage is the time when you play so many fun learning games, pretend play, and dress up days. This is the stage when children develop their personality, communication skills and problem solving abilities. Also, this is the stage when parents begin teaching good manners and implement discipline. Throwing tantrums is normal but not all the time, you know what I mean? Toddlers can be very willful but proper discipline gives them the understanding that it is not ideal to be willful. Boundaries keep them safe.

My husband and I were reminiscing those toddler and pre-school years. I was kind of sentimental talking about it with him. He gave me all the emotional support from my pregnancy up to now that we are raising our child. He was a very comforting and loving dad. K was blessed to have a very supportive and caring dad.

Happy Father’s Day to our daddy!

And Happy Father’s Day to all the wonderful dad in the whole world.
