Every Part Of Her Reminds Me Of Something

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. 💛
FollowA Sandwich That The Kids Absolutely Love
Posted on
I hardly ever buy sausages and deli meat for my girls. I think they are in the same category with junk food as they are laden with preservatives, sodium and other food additives. Plus, you don’t even know the quality of meat used. As with all forbidden food, my kids absolutely love sausages. If I…
A Joyous Birthday Celebration

We celebrated our dad’s 67th birthday in advance over the weekend. It was a very joyous occasion cum reunion as my brothers and sil from Singapore were back. We had a sumptuous lunch at a seafood restaurant, had a cake-cutting ceremony and then had a karaoke session. My dad was very, very happy and for…

My Homecooked Dishes
Posted on
Despite being super busy with my online store and 3 high demand kiddos, I still make it a point to cook for my kids twice a day. Here are just some of my culinary ‘display’ : Braised potato chicken with tomatoes. The sweet and sour taste of the tomatoes is very flavorful and can whet the…
Grounded
Posted on
Rascal #2 doesn’t finish her food every single night! At 8:30pm every night on end, I will nag the same thing to her “finish your soup, finish your rice, you will be grounded if you throw your food again!” About 3 weeks ago, I really grounded her by removing all her privileges – no TV…

Kaya (Coconut Jam) Cooked In Slow Cooker
Posted on
I had finished my mum’s homemade kaya and bought those on-the-shelf kaya from the mini mart. But the kaya tasted awful – it was diabetes-inducing sweet and tasteless, with very little santan taste and a tad rancid taste too. My girls love kaya too and they had been asking me for kaya each time they…

Yesterday Sherilyn went on a pre-school organized outing to Zoo Negara. It was her first ever trip with the pre-school without daddy and mummy accompanying her. She was very excited on Friday night and told me that she would wake up early and will not dilly dally. But a leopard’s spots never change. This fler…

Home-Turned Garment Factory

2 nights of losing sleep… that’s the price I have to pay for having a one-man-show shop to cut down operating costs, save for the 3 little hands I get occasionally…. Eye sore and heart attack sight for me….over hundred pieces of clothes to check and pack… nice to take order, oh really nice, just…

Countries in certain parts of the world are now affected by blistering summer heat that has sent thousands of people to the hospital with heat stroke and deaths. Japan and Germany have been sizzling in heatwave with sky high temperatures. Thankfully the weather here in our country has been pleasant for the past couple of…
Baby’s First Day Of Potty Training
Posted on
You will be amazed to know that I spend around RM160 just on disposable diapers for Baby every month. I have been procrastinating potty training her as I have been terribly busy with my online store. Alycia and Sherilyn were potty trained when they were 2 years old. I know Baby is highly trainable too…
Daddy’s Princess Always
Posted on
We were about to leave the house for Mid Valley Megamall. My princess wannabe insisted that she had to wear her Princess clogs to match her dress. She even dressed herself to the nines by wearing her favorite necklace that Joshua’s Mummy (the girls’ former Sunday School teacher) bought. She dressed herself up like she…
