Anytime is Family Time @Netflix_CA #StreamTeam
Anytime is family time. At least that's what our 8 year old tells us. Lately, Little One has been wanting to just have family time. I'm not sure if it's because she's exhausted from busy days and lots of activities, school will be over at the end of July, or what. All I know is that she's been really wanting to spend lots of family time. That basically entails … [Read more...]

What Have You Been Netflixing? #StreamTeam
What have you been Netflixing these days? As someone who is a linguist, the language shift in the English language is of great interest to me. Language has evolved so much over time and words that were common even a century ago differ greatly from the language we know today. I was thinking of how my eight year old daughter would not recognize any of the words from the time … [Read more...]
Lumpiang Shanghai ~ Filipino Spring Roll Recipe
