Kailee's Barry Allen Crystals

What?

Barry Allen crystals!

This is what Kailee *invisibly* hands me whenever she rides her bike or scooter in the house.  She would go as fast as she can and then stops and then runs to me and tells me *Here are your Barry Allen crystals!*.  She has been doing this for the past few weeks.  It's such a delight to see them so excited and happy with their made up *games*

I finally asked her -

*What are Barry Allen crystals?

"Diba you like Barry Allen?  The Flash?"

I nod.

"I am giving your crystals that you like - Barry Allen crystals!"

Got it.

Hahaha!!

So I always accept Barry Allen crystals that she gives me with a huge smile and with a hug of thanks.  Times like these make me realize the innocence of children.  They are happy and delighted with the simplest of things.  I treasure these moments.  I guess you can say that hormones got the better of me in this post as - I feel really sad and happy at the same time because my kids are growing up.  I wish there was a pause button.  I stare at them endlessly and think how lucky I am to have these kids.  Even if there are times I want to wring their necks - I will never trade the whole experience for anything.  I have a long long way to go..

I have this terrible TV crush on Grant Gustin/Barry Allen/The Flash ever since I saw him in two episodes of Arrow.  He is cute, bubbly, funny and awkward!  I don't know what it is, but I loooooove seeing him on TV!  I think I haven't had this bad of a TV crush since Neal Caffrey of White Collar!

I can just watch episodes of The Flash over and over again without getting bored.  You'd see my silly grin and sigh and coo..  I think Kailee has seen me like this a number of times - thus giving me her *Barry Allen crystals*

I love this giving of Barry Allen crystals - I feel special because Kailee notices those little things.  Haha!!

Babaw ba?

  3. Ang galing your daughter if she notices small things like your crushes. I think she's gonna grow up to be a thoughtful noticer and observer. :)

  6. You have such a sweet child, one who is sensitive to her mom's needs. It's one of those things that makes being a mom all worth it.

Breastfeeding Mama!

"Welcome to the Milk Mama Diaries Carnival (July). For this month, we join the National Nutrition Council - Department of Health in celebrating Nutrition Month with the theme "Isulong ang Breastfeeding - Tama, Sapat at EKsklusibo!" Participants will share their experiences in promoting breastfeeding or their tips on how breastfeeding should be promoted. Please scroll down to the end of this post and check out the other carnival participants." When I got pregnant, I knew instantly that I would be breastfeeding my baby.  My mom found it odd that I decided to breastfeed - this was because I grew up formula fed.  My twin brother and I were given formula since birth, there was no attempt whatsoever to breastfeed.  In fact my mom recounted that she was given medicine to stop the milk production.  My pedia, Dr. Joy Ty-Sy said that during my mom's time (when she had us) it was the boom of formulas, that it was the trend that time.  I grew up with formula, my c

ANSON SUPERMARKET - Grocery delivery!!

Sharing is caring, so we can't keep it a secret any longer.  THIS is where we get out groceries!  Well, Anson Supermarket has been where we have been purchasing all of our kids' diapers!  From Kailee to Connor to Shobe!  Yes, yes, yes! A week into the lockdown, it just occurred to us that we can get our groceries from them - but then we thought, we didn't want to force them to do it - after all it's a different time now.  But when we asked and they said yes, it was like we won the lottery.  We sent out our list - a very VERY SPECIFIC list and voila after a day or two (we weren't in a rush) they told us to schedule a pick up.  Please remember that I am sharing this with you guys because I believe so much in the saying 'sharing is caring'.  Please be mindful of your language and respect those who will call or message you about your orders.  Also note that some items might NOT be available - so manage your expectations.   They're a full functioning

#CookingQuest: Winter Melon Soup ala Didi #EnhancedCommunity

One of the things that gets ooohs and aaaahs in a chinese restaurant is the #WinterMelonSoup.   You may ask why?  Well because with this soup, restaurants use the winter melon itself as a huge bowl to serve the soup!  It's a sight to see as you'll be amazed how they were able to pull it off.  You'll see the whole winter melon, and then suddenly they're take out the top part and when you peek in, the soup is inside together with meat bits and other veggies!  My mom has tried it at home, and I remember her being nervous that the winter melon doesn't break apart, kunde sira ang presentation! So during this #EnhancedCommunityQuarantine, I chanced upon Theo's Farm that they have winter melon, so I ordered.  When I saw it - I knew I wouldn't be able to pull off the carving and serving the winter melon.  It actually made the preparation easier.  I had to ask my mom, and she told me to steam the winter melon to soften it.  Honestly, I don't think I can w
