Super mini frying pan

I got a mini, no...a super mini frying pan from the grocery store near us. It's so small only an egg could fit in, which is actually what I really wanted. As early in the morning I wouldn't want to use bigger pans and go clink-clanking to wake up everyone. This small pan is light and eggs slide off easily. ;) I have difficulty making sunny side ups but with this pan it's easy-peasy. See, even the little boy finds it easy to use.lol. Made this eggxtra special by adding some seasalt and herbs (dried basil, dried tomato bits and oregano). ...

Utensil/Gadget Appreciation – Apple slicer

When I was still working as an English tutor at an after-school institution I often look for this particular utensil, an apple slicer. The kids love munching on apples and we are provided about 50 or more apples a day for each group composed of 20 kids! One can't really finish an apple in one sitting so what I would do is slice them. It would be too much of a job using a knife so I'm really grateful to whoever invented this piece...with just one downward motion you get precise slices and you can remove the core easily... You don't need to remove the seeds or core from each piece...it goes down one clean cut for the core. This little kitchen gadget is easy to clean as it is stainless steel. ...

Elegant Bed

When we were looking for furniture and stuff, I was surprised that hubby chose a rattan bed. Along with that bed we bought an L-shaped leather sofa, unfortunately, it looks beaten now, after 4 years of enduring being jumped on by the kids.

They offer a wide range of beds, matresses and other bedroom furnitures in the latest and fashionable design that fits one's taste (and bedroom). Children's bed, divan beds, and leather beds plus more of them, you get to choose from simple to elegant to the most practical. I find the storage beds the most convenient though, since our kids have those. Given our room space, we need to use up all the ...

The White House

Well not the White House in Washington DC, but this interior dominated by white. I'd definitely love to have our interior like this but with 3 kids who loves to paint, I doubt our home would later be dubbed "the dirty-white house." ...

Spring Lovin’

Spring, sans the pollen, is the season that I mostly look forward to...it is because of the vibrant color that it brings that inspire me to take photos tirelessly.There's green and yellow everywhere, there's pink and purple too! I can stay around such a place for a whole day if I can! The kids share the same sentiment with me. They could spend long hours outside picking flowers and stones, look for bugs and sit on those greens. Dandelions and lawn daisies are the most common weeds one would find in abundance at the backyard when spring comes. It's so fun that after having mowed, they grow in two days again...another chance for photography. I also like decorating the house with plants ...
