  • A Character Report Card for Catholic Homeschoolers

    We’ve been using this character report card sporadically for a while now. We updated it recently so we can use it with the 9-year-old who needs this kind of guidance and self-monitoring at this time. So I thought I’d share with other homeschoolers who might be able to use it in their homeschool. You can […]

  • A Few Favorite Moms in Movies and Books

    by Cristina Montes It is yet another indicator of how little we appreciate mothers. When we in the Pinay Voices team were asked to list down our favourite mothers from movies and novels, a lot of us needed time to think. But if moms are awesome in real life, there’s no reason they can’t be […]

  • Considering Beauty in 2017

    Today marks the end of National Woman’s Month. For the past 30 days I’ve been musing about what being a Catholic woman means in 2017, and my wanderings led me… to beauty.
