squid flakes

2009-07-24T11:45:00.007+08:00

squid used to be a favorite - especially my mother's adobong pusit!
but i developed an allergy to it.
i feel dizzy and lightheaded every time i eat even a small bite of it.
sometimes, i even throw up!

good thing i discovered squid flakes when i went to cebu before.
it is crunchy with a hint of sweetness. yummy!
the only squid that i can eat that doesn't make me feel nauseous.

2009-06-22T08:23:00.002+08:00

when she saw kuya's bed she went "mami, let's go fishing!" oh, we can do that baby. so, mami looked for a blue grocery bag, and some materials for our fishing trip (stick, magnet, string, papers, paper clips, pen, scissor). we're gonna make this an educational fishing trip. i made sure i drew different sizes in different colors with letters on one side. when everything's ready, she started fishing for a big fish, small fish, yellow fish, red fish, A fish, C fish, etc. she had loads of fun!

polvoron

2009-06-19T07:51:00.007+08:00

i always make it a point to have polvoron in the house. it's the kids' and dad's favorite. most of the time, i don't wrap it. i just put it in a container inside the fridge. when a craving for something sweet attacks, just grab one or two from the container.

but when i have the time...

you know, to please the kiddos!

bliss!
