Mama's secret to a happy day


Like the Mama's Good boy rules, I also have rules for myself.

Live simply but have FUN.
Be Kind.
Open thy heart and eyes to new opportunities.
Pick the good, throw the bad.
Look at the brighter side of things.
Share best practices, kindness and smile.
Empower myself and others by reading more, learning and trying out new things everyday.
Prioritize.
Be productive- an Idle mind is a devil's playground.
And last but not the least- Mind thy own business. Not everything is all about you.


It can easily be done but the real secret is, you have to welcome it with open mind and heart. Then follow it up with actions. It is really hard at first, but you'll get the vibe.


Sssshhhh..... it's my secret to staying young, bubbly and happy. :) But yeah, share away!


Have you been productive lately?

Beat that Summer Heat!

One sure way to beat the summer heat is through ice cold drinks. So this afternoon we pulled out our blender and some of my toppings left in our pantry. This is easy as 1-2-3 and would surely quench that thirst and it's filling too!


All you need is to mix 3 cups crushed ice, 1 cup evaporated milk, 1/3 cup chocolate syrup, 3 tbsp chopped peanuts and 1/4 cup marshmallows in a blender. Pour into glasses and top with more of the ingredients according to your preference.

Ichiro got this from Alaska evaporated can and asked me to make this for them. I like the thought that my kid is just like me who loves to try out new things and reads whatever interesting stuffs that we can do together.
Great bonding everytime!


What bonding activities have you done with your kids to beat the summer heat?
