Oh so sweet, but oh too sweet

As we were passing by Kiehl’s where they were having a promo of bath body products (I think it was), we got handed one of these. That’s right, candy floss. How adorable!

Or should I say, how sweet! The next thing my daughters said was, this is too sweet, we can’t eat this! And you know what, there’s no greater satisfaction than knowing your kids know what’s good for them.

A surprise Mother’s Day gift and it’s not what you think

Over the past few weeks, I’ve gotten lazier in terms of working my weekend bakery. I was baking bread and cakes every weekend for the past few months, and then all of a sudden, I lost my baking mojo :lol: . I’m not surprised. It was only a matter of time. Don’t get me wrong, I love the baking, I just hate the washing up.

That and the fact that a food miracle happened in our household. My picky eaters are finally getting to enjoy eating oats so that means I don’t have to bake bread any more. Hohoho, what a Mother’s Day gift that is for me. Now to get me cranked up again, it looks like I might need more than just a simple chain hoist to drag all my utensils and supplies out.

Picking healthy over fast

I had breakfast at McD’s recently. Haven’t been in there for years now since we started trying to eat healthier. I remember when the kids were younger, we used to go there quite often because that’s what the kids liked to eat.

But now that they’re older, they have gotten more vain and want to slim down and I guess eating less fast food is the place to start. I’m happy the kids are more conscious of their nutrition from their biology classes which is more than just the fun of putting on a lab coat.

My kids are such picky eaters I still can’t believe they’re willingly eating vegetables and fruits, and cutting out the fries and pastries.

Baking is quality time

Believe it or not, there are some things that money just can’t buy. Like baking with your kids. Sure you can buy cookies and cakes from the store and not have to lift a finger yourself. But where’s the fun in that :razz: ?

Quite honestly, there’s your quality time right there. The kitchen is about as far as you need to go. No stressing over reservations 6 months ahead. Just some simple ingredients and the willingness to tear yourself away from reading up about commercial playground equipment at PlaytimeUS.com and you’re all set to create some great memories.

A new place to eat

Last weekend, while window-shopping aimlessly looking at such unlikely items as pet houses and wedding bands for men, we came across a new Vietnamese restaurant that we’ve never tried before. What luck! Just when our tummies were growling and it was close to lunchtime.

The waitress was dressed in traditional garb and the themed ambiance was kinda nice. I’ve never been to Vietnam but that’s close enough for me. I love their food especially those cooked with lemongrass and fish sauce. Definitely going back there for another meal soon.
