Our Sunday – 7 September 2014

Author: Shireen
I’m a 50+ mum of three grown daughters, now back in my beautiful hometown of Ipoh and slowly rebuilding a quieter, gentler life. After years between Ipoh and KL, I’ve returned to my roots to spend time with my parents in their 80s, my soul-healing cat, and the simple things that matter most. I blog and vlog about family life, home cooking, Ipoh food finds, and everyday moments that make this season of life meaningful.
I do product reviews and accept sponsored posts on my blogs.
I hope you'll enjoy reading my blog as much as I enjoy sharing my day-to-day adventures and mostly boring ranting :P
Thanks for being here. 💛

Wednesday Grilled Dinner
Posted on
I love dishing out grilled fish, meat and veggies. I call them my ‘healthy homecooked fast-food’. And they taste really good too. Most importantly, grilling food in the oven is sweat-free and oil splatter-free too!

RGB At The Bean Hive
Posted on
After the appointment with my OB & Gyn on Thursday (NOPE, it’s not what you think!), we met up with some friends at a new cafe nearby. From the facade of the bungalow-turned-cafe, it looks unoccupied and nondescript. No one would have guessed that inside is a cafe that sets to serve one of best…

No Excuse To Pop Your Calcium!
Posted on
Have you ever noticed that, even as adults, we sometimes retreat back to the childhood behavior of making excuses to keep from doing something? When it comes to taking calcium supplements, it’s tempting to use excuses such as they’re too big or they’re too hard to swallow. You may use the excuse that you don’t…
Alycia’s Taylor Swift Red Tour Sneakers
Posted on
I promised Alycia that if she could maintain her grades and position in her third semester exam, she can have a reward of her choice, within our budget. On Friday when I picked her up after school, she asked me with delight: “mummy, you promised me a reward right?” And she told me her class…

Our Saturday – 23 August 2014

Today is a school day for Alycia and Sherilyn. It is a replacement school day for holiday taken during the recent Hari Raya celebration. When her 2 sisters woke up at 5:45am this morning, Cass woke up too. She normally wakes up when her 2 sisters wake up and prepare for school. I think Cass…
