Advent Activities - DIY Candle Ornament!

I first came across Tinsel in the Truth last year and it left me with a great impression from the many number of reviews which I read. 

This year, with Dumpling being older, I wanted to do advent activities from a biblical angle too. I decided to revisit the website and saw the sample page and I was hooked when I found out how easy it was!

Mealtime wins

We’ve been fighting mealtime battles a lot lately.

What went wrong? Strict dinner rules have been laid. No tv. No running around. Eat what’s on your plate. Treats only after you’ve finished. My kids don’t snack. They don’t eat candies either. They should be hungry by dinner time because I never give them anything three hours before dinner, except water.

And yet, I had to send the kids straight to bed without a full dinner a few evenings ago. For a few consecutive days prior to that evening, they’ve been balking and gagging at what they were supposed to eat, taking forever to chew and swallow, and doing nonsensical things with each other, like kicking each other’s legs, laughing for no reason and blowing bubbles in their soup. After a few days of that, enough was enough. I gave my last warning to chew the food that was in the mouth (which wasn’t heeded anyway), marched right into the kitchen, grabbed the trashbin, emptied their plates right before their eyes and sent them straight to bed.

Kitchen Exploits - One Meal Pasta for Kids

This is one of our favourites. Bubbles loves to eat this, and I love to make it. It is just too easy to throw together.

I love it that we get it all - greens, proteins, and carbs. A no-fuss meal ideal for busy big and little people. You can also substitute pasta with rice - white or brown - something we do pretty often too.

The sweetest kiss in the world...

Yes, you probably have guessed it.

The sweetest kiss, to me, is the mummy-baby kiss. Or better, the baby-mummy kiss.

Don't get me wrong. There was a time when the lovers kiss was the best thing on earth to me. I love kissing my hubby since 8 years ago and I still do. It's just that, now I have one more person in my life to kiss. One whom I can kiss anytime and anywhere I please, one whom makes me just wanna kiss her more and more.
