Spending time with kids

Snake and Ladder Game Board

In the era of smartphones and latest technologies, including tablets and iPad, I thought board games has long been extinct. Like dinosaurs that you only see in movies. But yeah, I have to admit I was wrong.

There was a sudden change on interest with my five-year-old kid. Usually she plays with barbie dolls, little plates and kettles made of plastics or watching Youtube video. But now she's asking Mr. Hubby to play with her. Which is good, in terms of family bonding and being in a real world.

At first I thought it would not click! But hey, they are enjoying including my eldest daughter who also joined the game. They're both laughing when somebody's tower hit the head of the snake. For those who don't know. If you hit a snake head on this board game, you will be taken to the tail of the snake, which usually means you are at the loosing side.

I guess I have to encourage more both my kids to play board games instead of watching videos and watching TV. Board games is still a hit, even though I know it would take more effort on my side of convincing :)

Happy playing everyone.

Storing fruits and vegetables

Credit to pngpix.com Storing fruits and vegetables is one of the biggest problem I had . As a busy mom, I usually buy fruits and vegetables once in a week. But after a few days, these veggies and fruits are already a waste of money. When the time that I want to cook them it's already rotten. How sad... and I end up cooking nothing but meat :( So I came to research what are the best way to store fruits and veggies that could last longer. One golden rule is never store fruits and vegetable together. The acidity of the fruit makes the veggies rot faster. Apple - Store them in the coolest part of the fridge. Celery, carrots, and cabbage - pack them in plastic, some use foil but you have to consume it as soon as possible. And with carrots some cut the leafy part of it, cause that's the part that rot fast. I tried cutting the carrots in cubes and putting them in the freezer, that should work for a week. Eggplant - Usually I put them inside the fridge, but not now. You h...

The Journey of a Financial Advisor Part 2

I've been waiting for this day to take the licensing exam from Insurance Commission. It is supposedly last week, but I wasn't able to do so, since my kid has fever. Insurance Commission, United Nation Avenue, Manila I reviewed all night, but I'm a bit frustrated since I wasn't able to finished all the reviewer. I woke up and see all the papers we're scattered on the floor. I'm trying to recall what happened, just then I realized that I fell asleep with the papers on my hand the night. (Sigh) But to start the day with good vibes. I need to start fresh with coffee on the table (wink) and a good breakfast. I have an hour to prepare and start traveling from Mandaluyong to Manila to get to Insurance Commission. I need to avoid rush hour to be late. At exactly 5:58 am, I left home with only one goal in my head. "Pass the two exams, without retaking!". Around 7:17, I'm already at the Insurance Commission, asking the guard how to go on the proc...

For People with Cancer Induced Weight Loss , uniquely formulated, high protein, EPA-enriched ( EPA-Eicosapentaenoic Acid, An Omega-3 fatty acid ), Prosure is from Abbot or licensed by Abbot Laboratories. I have purchased this milk (Prosure) just today. My father's doctor prescribed this milk to double the dosage intake of calorie he's been getting. Since a few days ago CT scan results shows that there is a recurrent of tumor on his neck. Unfortunately there are some signs of pain on his upper back which cause him to loose his appetite due to pain. So to compensate the missing calorie Prosure was added to his daily diet, 1 scoop of Prosure added to 1 scoop of Sustagen premium. Twice a day. Prosure claims the following help: Promote weight gain.
