Kitchen and Dining Guide

I love to eat and I love to cook as well. But cooking isn’t a joke. Doing work in the kitchen requires some hard work and experience. Just a simple chopping of onions and garlic would be hard especially for beginners. But having a few useful products can make the job very easy and enjoyable. Thank God for internet because it allows you to search for recipes for making tasty food. It also allows you to know more about the various kitchen and dining products that can make your time in the kitchen hassle-free and enjoyable. And I want to share with you this site that would really help you in making life easier in the kitchen.

This site is a complete guide for browsing through and buying various kitchen products like bakeware, pots and pans, dinnerware and many other cooking tools and equipments.

If you’re just starting or learning how to cook, this site will guide you on everything related to cooking and dining. Plus, every kitchen and dining product has a guide explaining how to use it if you don’t know what you are doing.

It’s also important(especially for moms like me) that our kitchen should be clean and clutter free and I thank this site for guiding and teaching me how the kitchen should be organized and what tools and equipments would help me to achieve this.

I do love this site because it guides you to what kind of products would suit your lifestyle and take note that they’re up to date.

If you love to cook for family and friends and entertain them as well, visiting this site will be very useful. It would make your cooking and dining experience fun and enjoyable.

Happy cooking and happy eating!

What Does Your Candy Heart Say?

YEHEY...

Just got paid by BLOGVERTISE...I'm so happy, oh so happy!!! More assignments please...=D

You Feel at Peace With Your Family

You get along with everyone in your family, and you tend to play the peacemaker. You can see issues from all sides. You feel like some members of your family are too unhappy. These family members tend to create unhappiness for everyone else. While your parents made mistakes, you forgive them and accept them for who they are. You tend to be the rock in your family. You support everyone in their times of need, and they take your advice seriously.

How Do You Really Feel About Your Family?

Pepper Lunch

Pepper Lunch is a popular steak fastfood DIY restaurant from Japan. They also have outlets in Korea, Taiwan, China, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Indonesia. And I’m so happy to say that they do have outlets here in the Philippines. They have one in Power Plant Mall in Rockwell, Makati and one in Shangri-La Plaza Mall in Ortigas.

My Ate Karen always treats me there. We’ve eaten a couple of times and tried their very flavorful food. But my favorite is their chicken pepper rice. I really love it! Especially if you put some (for me, I put a lot!) of their honey brown sauce…perfect!

Their menu is kinda expensive though but it’s worth it!

Bad Breastfeeding Advice

I’m a breastfeeding mom and I’m proud to say that I still breastfeed my twin girls up to now (they’re 2 ½ yrs old). There are lots of benefits. And I just want to share this breastfeeding site to all moms, moms to be or people who are interested or curious about breastfeeding.

Shopping for Little Girls Clothing

Being a mother, we always want the best for our little ones. Especially in my case, I have twin girls and I love dressing them up. I love buying clothes for them. I always consider the price, quality and the importance of the clothing before buying. I do buy their clothes in shopping malls (even if it gets too crowded especially on sale and considering the traffic as well) but now shopping is not a hassle anymore because we can do it even online.

I found this site where it tells us how to shop wisely (value for our hard earned money) for little girls clothing. They have the do’s and don’ts on shopping for our little girls. The site tells us that we should know what our kids really want (casual, dressy, sporty, etc.). We should also take into consideration of the weather (summer, rainy season, etc.). Then, we have to measure our little ones properly and we should remember that the kid’s weight is very important on buying clothes online for it will help us to determine their clothes on the size charts.

Now that you know the buying guides, do go online and shop….enjoy!!!

TAGS...BLOG HOPPING...

Haven't done my tags yet, just purely blog hopping and reading my fellow bloggers' entries. I really am busy right now. I'm very occupied with my twins(they just turned 2 by the way)....terrible two's...double trouble!!!!

I promise to update my site soon and finish all my tags......sorry for the people who tagged me.

THANK YOU!!!

My two yayas left already this afternoon. I was teary-eyed and the twins were crying...as a matter of fact they were screaming. They took care of my twins for one year. But they really want to go home because they miss their family. I will miss them for sure. They were like sisters to me. Nextweek, we're going to have new yayas aagin. I just hope they treat my kids right. I hope they will take good care of them just like what our previous yayas did.

Thank you Gemma and Baby for taking good care of my twins. We will cherish all the wonderful times. We won't forget you. Till we meet again....

TWIN TALK

I'm beginning to worry because my twin girls have not yet started to talk straight yet. They're already 21 months old. Though they babble alot. They call me "mimmy" , their dad, "diddy" and their lolo, "yo-yo". Though there are words that they pronounce right like "dede" (if they want milk), "yaya", "apple", "dog", etc. I've been comparing them with their cousin. My neice was already talking straight when she was 1 year old. She was never "bulol". My ate told me that every kid is different. That's what their pedia told me also. So being a concerned mom, I did some research and I found out that there's nothing to worry about. I read that twins’ language is six months behind: they talk later, in shorter and simpler sentences.

Multiples often engage in “twin talk", a spoken language or a language of gestures and body language. Multiples are often so effective at communicating with each other that their speech and language development can be delayed.

These general guidelines can help you determine if your child could be experiencing a delay:

Between 12-24 months, your children should:
Combine two simple words
Have a working vocabulary of between 10 – 20 words
Be able to imitate some animal sounds
Wave good-bye
Be understood approximately 25% of time by non-family members

Between 24-36 months, your children should:
Ask simple “what” and “why” questions
Have a 450 word vocabulary
Be able to tell their name
Answer “where” questions
Match 3-4 colors
Identify body parts
Use 3-4 word combinations
Follow simple instructions
Be understood at least 50% of time by non-family members

Between 3-4 years your children should:
Use 4-5 word combinations, talking regularly in sentences
Have a vocabulary of about 1,000 words
Begin to name colors
Be able to tell a story
Be able to repeat a nursery rhyme
Be understood at least 75% of time by non-family members
Be able to follow 2-3 step instructions
Understand most of what is spoken to them

Between 4-5 years, your children should:
Use past tense correctly
Have a vocabulary of about 1,500 words
Be able to identify major colors
Understand concepts of opposites
Speak clearly
Use more than 5 words in a sentence
Re-tell a story in own words
