Busy Hands Way Back Then…

Posted on November 18, 2011 by MeiliLo
me and my siblings - we're really BUSY here! ;-D

The BUSY HANDS album in my Facebook account features activities of “busy-ness” of Meimei and EJ.  But here I would like to write how the concept of BUSY HANDS started and when it started. I grew up with 4 brothers and 1 sister, so yeah, we are a large family  In most of our growing years we’ve had helpers doing the house works but our parents, especially our dad, always wanted us to work with them.  He didn’t want us to be spoiled brats who just litter our stuff around the house and let the house maids clean them.  We were tasked to fix our rooms, wipe the windows, feed the dogs (and even clean their poopie!), wash our clothes and all the other house chores especially when the helpers took their day off on a Sunday.  That way, even without helpers, life was normal and we didn’t have to … Continue reading →

LOVE LETTERS TO E.J.

Posted on September 28, 2009 by LoMeili

My husband and I agreed that from time to time, we will write letters to our children so that someday, they have something to guide and encourage them when they need it. We can’t and we won’t be with them all the time, but with these letters, it’s as if we’re beside them.

We will categorize these types of blogs as LOVE LETTERS TO E.J. because truly, all our letters will be written because we love them. All our children have the initial E.J.
