Crispy lotus chips in the Philips Avance XL Airfryer

If you've ever been to the River Safari and lunched there, you might have tried eating these crispy lotus chips. Both the boys love crunching on them, and usually they are finished in a wink of an eye. Since the boys loved the chips so much, I decided to try making them in the Philips...

Dec Daily: Our Christmas (and a handprint canvas)

This year, Christmas was spent at home with family, and we had dinner out as we had to send my MIL to the airport as she was flying back. Here's some shots I want to remember amidst our usual chaos:Our Christmas reads. Papa fixing up Lil J's truck.Junior J read the tags and...

Thankful Tuesdays: Celebrating together

We celebrated the hubby's birthday yesterday, and went out for lunch together as a family. (Yup, I snuck out since I was supposed still in confinement :p) It was really nice heading out for a change, and having Japanese food:Of course, the youngest member had to come along too!Just...

Monday Made: A card for Papa

We celebrated the hubby's birthday today. We didn't manage to make him a present, but we did make a card:The leaves from the tree were thumbprints from myself and the three boys (yes, even baby J added his mark), and the 4 little birds were again from thumbprints, which I added details...

Gifts for the littlest ones: MyBabyGift hampers (Review and giveaway!)

Hello! This is Baby J here. Or rather, Baby J number 3, since my brothers were also referred to as Baby J when they were younger. One nice thing about being the third baby of the family is that you have two playmates in the house to play with, and you get loads of renditions of the...

Dec Daily: 2.5 weeks already?

With baby J's arrival, life has been blurred into this fuzzy dream, where day and nights seem mixed up. Its been this seemingly endless cycle of changing diapers, feeding, attending to the kids, snatched cat naps, crying kids. But there's also the nice bits: snuggling with baby,...

Thankful Tuesdays: Life with 3

Hello! The dust is slowly settling and we're trying to get into a regular routine over here, and I've started to get used to sleeping in bits and bobs again, while trying to feed this lil fellow. This week, I'm just thankful for::: God's faithfulness and all that He has blessed us...

December Daily: No Christmas tree, no Christmas tree...

We've only had a Christmas tree last year, when we were still staying in Germany (since we were staying in the country from which the tradition originated from, it would be a pity not to have one!). All our attempts to set-up the artificial tree we have thus far have failed, for...

December Daily: Back home

For the past two days, it was like being on a staycation: meals served in bed, being able to sleep without being kicked in the tummy by some little feet, no laundry to do and no poopy butts to wash. Clean sheets every day. I could surf the net without having little fingers banging...

December Daily: A glimpse of life with 3

The boys met their baby brother yesterday morning. They are fascinated with him, and have been treating him like their new pet: patting him and poking him, and then running off to play. It has been quiet most of the day when they are not around, and I admit I'm not used to it. That...
