Morning Routine
Posted on
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. 💛

Sick As A Dog
Posted on
Sherilyn is not as sick as a dog today like she was yesterday. Though her appetite is still somewhat drowned after being attacked by some salmonella (my guess), my consolation is from hearing her tell me “I feel much better today” this morning. She has only eaten 1 piece of cream crackers and 2 glasses…
A Week Dealing With Sick Kids
Posted on
This week has been a sick week for Cass and Sherilyn. First it was Cass who was down with a bad throat and today Sherilyn is down with suspected food poisoning. I suspect that the nasi lemak that she pestered me to buy for her yesterday morning was the culprit. Sherilyn has been puking non…

Pineapple Grilled Fish
Posted on
This is what we had for dinner last night…. Grilled wild salmon fish and threadfin fish with herbs, EVOO and fresh pineapple. It was my first time grilling fish with pineapple and I was amazed with the strong aromatic and fruity flavor the pineapple effused into the fish meat. When the fish was grilling in…
Of Teeth Falling Out
Posted on
If you have been an earnest follower of my blogs, you’d have read that Sherilyn seems to have eventful and hilarious episodes of teeth falling out in the past. I cannot seem to remember any of Alycia’s tooth falling moments. She has always been the quiet and decidedly cool one who does not like to…
Maniac Monday
Posted on
I have always disliked Mondays. As much as I want to avoid the Monday Blues, it’s hard. Yesterday was yet another maniac Monday for me. I made 5 trips to send and pick up the girls from morning through evening. In between trips, I did grocery shopping, ran some errands and quickly whipped up dinner. …
Our Last Weekend in September 2013
Posted on
I 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?
Posted on
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
Posted on
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
Posted on
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
Posted on
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…

Would You Allow?
Posted on
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…
