FollowI have been a super busy bumblee bee mummy buzzing around for the past few days, thus the lack of update in my blogs. Have been very busy with my online store, with planning and cooking the kids’ meals, chauffeuring the kids and just busy with things that cropped up unexpectedly. Thank God for weekends!…

Feeling Bleh, So?
Today is one of those days when I feel really bleh! Just tired and no zest. Throat still hurts and body feels like I have carried tons of weight yesterday. I have been telling the girls almost everyday that I feel freaking tired. Not sure if it’s caused by a deficiency in iron, my low…
Fancy Schmancy Dessert In Under A Minute
This is no fancy schmancy dessert from some 5-star hotel. My designer wannabe daughter concocted this for her breakfast on Sunday. She fished out a fancy glass (which she calls a Tiramisu cup) from the kitchen cabinet and told me that she wanted to whip up a nice breakfast. Her concoction composed of strawberry yoghurt,…
Fashion Designer Wannabe
In terms of ingenuity, I would give Sherilyn a 9/10 rating. She is one person who always thinks out of the box. Her forte lies in her passion for fashion and her creativity, not to mention her boldness and her ‘dare to fail’ stance. In school, she will be the audacious few who always raises…
Simple Dinner – 22 September 2013
Watery Porridge For The Fussy Rice Pot
This is the kind of ‘watery porridge’ that my fussy rice pot likes to eat, as mentioned in my earlier post. Alycia likes it that the rice grains still look, feel and taste almost like rice, just like how rice is eaten with soup. If the consistency is thick, she finds it gross and hard…
What’s For Dinner?
Would You Allow?
For the first time in my life, I have with much reluctance, allowed my first born to go on a school trip scheduled for next month. Since last year, Alycia has been pestering us to allow her to participate in school trips. I have on all occasions said no due to various reasons. Firstly is…
Down But Not Totally Out
I am down with a bad strep throat and throbbing head, no thanks to all the vicious and ravenous virus lingering in our house. Everyone in the house was down with cold and strep throat for the past two weeks. Sherilyn got it first and I think she must have gotten it from school or…
Busy Girls
Char Siew Bread Pizza
Bread Pizza is one of the girls’ favorite home-prepared ‘fast food’. This is an excellent way to get the girls to eat capsicum, something which they do not normally fancy. I normally top my bread pizza with lots of chopped antioxidant-packed capsicum (red and yellow ones), vitamin-packed cherry tomatoes, power-packed big onions, super mushrooms, protein-packed…
Cassandra’s First Written Journal
Monkey see monkey do. Alycia and Sherilyn are required to write a daily journal. This is part of my efforts to help them to improve their writing skill, both in BM and English. Every evening at around 7ish pm, reminders of “Have you written your daily journal?” resonates in the house, without fail. Alycia has…
Gesture Of Appreciation
This black sesame chiffon cake is for Alycia’s Mandarin tutor today. I give her stuff all the time. Last week, I gave her a box of mooncakes and some pomelos. Whenever the mil is around, she will give her homemade cakes and breads. This is my gesture of appreciating Miss M as she’s one of…
Yes Or No To The Idiot Box?
A few years ago, my 3 girls were TV junkies. Even up until today, they are still TV junkies and I have since a year ago, decided to put my foot down when I observed negative behavioral changes and unfavorable academic results from school as a result of spending more than 2 hours immersing themselves…
A Health Freak Mommy’s Breakfast
The below plate of raw goodness was my breakfast during our stay at Hilton Sentral two Sundays ago. Many people will attack the ham, bacon, sausages, nasi lemak, pancake, muffins and desserts counters first but for me, it is straight to the fresh juice counter. My health savvy girls know that they are to eat…
Alycia’s First Guitar Lesson
Today marks an important day in Alycia’s life. It is a day that she will remember profoundly for the rest of her life as today is her first guitar lesson. After years of talking about learning guitar, I finally chanced upon this guitar teacher exactly a week ago at the lift of our condo. Actually,…
