#thePerfectMonday Week 6


The perfect weekend brought us a #thePerfectMonday! 



I wish you all had a great weekend and a fabulous Mother's Day. I spend it with who matters the most - My Family. 

I had a very intense week, but I'm happy to announced that the Homeschooling Year ended with great outcomes, and Pelhuaz still rocking!

Here are my achievements for last week:


For Pelhuaz: 


  • Sales are still coming... Yay!
  • I received a special request from a son that wanted me to send a gift to his Mama address. He lives in the states, and Mama live here in Puerto Rico. I was able to make a pretty package, and a special delivery edition of a #happyMail. It felt so good to be able to be the channel to their love. I hope that Mama had enjoyed the gift, the surprise, and the love that was sent her way.

  • We participated of a Tiny Bazaar that wasn't the best experience, but I did made a sale. I took the kids with me, and Oh-Gosh-Oh-Gee Tiny was a Hurricane! From wanting to help to arrange the table, from running all over the place. I'm pretty sure he manage to scare the possible customers, but a Mama needs to do what a Mama needs to do. I learned that if I'm not able to take someone with me to look after the kiddo, I'm better to say "No thank you!" I wasn't able to take even 1 picture. :-D
  • I ran a Flash Sale to celebrate the May the 4th. Don't forget that I'm a geek! :-P
  • I got inspired, and made few new necklaces








For My Homeschooling Project:


  • The homeschooling year 2015-2016 it's officially over. (Can I hear an AMEN?)
  • It was our first time with this venture, and I can say that we did pretty good! 
  • The Missis was promoted to 5th Grade and her grade average was 91A
  • All the reports and binders were completed.
  • I tried to educate my kids into the Star Wars Culture, but Tiny got afraid with Kylo in the first scene. Oh well, I'll wait... 
  • Vacations here we go!!!!!



Let's sit back, do nothing and enjoy our new #thePerfectMonday.

#thePerfectMonday Week 4




Oh boy what a weekend! 

We started Friday with a field trip to the Old San Juan, and those kids of mine spend a fabulous time running, playing, being silly, and flying kites. 

Take a look of my accomplishments: 



From Pelhuaz:

  • Things are going great. Due to few orders, and a sales hosted by Vistaprint, I was able to ordered new presentation cards. Here's a sneak peak:

  • I kept working with the product photos, and they are looking much better now. Even, Storenvy shared one at their Twitter. That was exciting!


  • I also completed a custom order of seven keychains for Mother's Day, that looked pretty awesome.




From My Homeschooling Project:


  • Week #34 was completed. 
    • We have 4 more weeks and we are DONE!
  • We covered all the planned material related to: 
    • Math Awareness Month,
    • Earth Day 
    • Poetry Month, 

Spanish

  • Review and evaluation of Chapter 7: De donde vienes

English

  • Prepositions and Conjunctions

Science

  • Review and evaluation of Chapter 8: Heat and Light

Math

  • Metric Measurements

Field Trip

  • This was the best field trip so far! Was related to History and the way Spain managed the colonisation of Puerto Rico, and defended our territories from other countries. We visited El Morro - that it's an impressive fort located in San Juan. We learned, we visited the exhibition, and we flight kites. So much fun!




Enjoy your week, and embrace #thePerfectMonday!

#thePerfectMonday Week 3



OMG What a productive weekend! 

I spend all my weekend playing around with my camera, a fancy shot box for photo (and when I said fancy I meant that I did one with a pamper box, tissue paper and tape - and yes, it's the one that pop in your feeds on Facebook...), and making new bracelets.

I achieved a lot, even I had to put aside my World of Warcraft playtime, but it was worth it!

Here are the good news from last week:

From Pelhuaz:


  • I was tired of the different light in my photos, so decided to take out my pretty Nikon J1, and start shooting. Take a look at the before and after pic.


  • As I got to excited about the results, I couldn't stop and changed the complete look of the storefront, and the Facebook banner, and (if you didn't noticed) the blog banner. 


  • I made few extra sales... Yay for me! And a customer send me this fabulous pic with happy comments. That really made my week!





From My Homeschooling Project:

  • We covered all the planned material related to: 
    • Math Awareness Month,
    • Library Week, 
    • Poetry Month, 
    • Spanish
      • Reading Comprehension
      • Letter H
      • Vocabulary
    • English
      • Reading Comprehension
      • Verb, Adjectives, Adverbs
    • Science
      • Heat and Light
    • Math
      • Customary Measurements
  • We also had an awesome field trip to the First Planeta Digital Expo that took place last week.





Enjoy your week, and don't forget that this is a #thePerfectMonday!

#thePerfectMonday Week 2




You are strong... Don't give up!

How about starting a new week with a great attitude? Let's be grateful for our blessings. 

After the reopening of Pelhuaz Store at Storenvy, I've been a little busy with few others. Who knew? I'm happy and excited!

I wanted to share the good news from last week:


From Pelhuaz:





  • I was able to design a new bracelets that are now available at the store



  • I do need to look for a best way to take the photos, as they are not all with the same light. So far, I'm happy with the way the storefront looks. If you have any suggestions, feel free to let me know! 






From My Homeschooling Project:




  • Last week was our Spring Break. It was in an off week, but as we are homeschooling, we have the opportunity to decide what suits us better and go for it. We visited few sites, went to grandma's house, and even kidnap Daddy from work. It was a very fun week.






  • Now we need to stick to the schedule as we have only 5 weeks left to complete our 180 days of school.  

This week will be a great week and today will be #thePerfectMonday

#thePerfectMonday

How about starting our week in a great mood? Why don't we declare that this will be a #PerfectMonday? 

There is a saying that you attract what you declare. So let's try this, and see what happened. Also you might recall that I decided to reopen my #StorenvyStore and kick-start the blog again. The truth is that the pelhuaz.com adventure didn't gave me time to do the things that I love, and felt obligated to it.

Now, I feel like having fun again... Just the way it should be.

I wanted to share few things with you...


From Pelhuaz:


  • After reopening, I made my first sale... YAY! 




  • The IG and the Twitter account  where updated. Feel free to visit and follow. I promise it will be fun.







  • The Facebook Page is starting to be a genuine Page. Also, feel free to visit and leave a follow or a comment. I would really appreciate that.



From My Homeschooling Project:

  • This week we are having our #SpringBreak. I know it's different from everyone else but it's what suits us. We have a very fun week planned, with field trips and hang outs, that we can't wait...
  • March was a fun month where we learned and made activities related to the #NationalCraftsMonth, #WomenHistoryMonth, #MusicInOurSchool #ReadAcrossAmericaDay, #TheIditarod, #PiDay, #StPatty, #Spring, and #GoodFriday. You can imagine how fun it was!

Wishing you all a great week, and don't forget to declare it!
