This Christmas break is truly a break for us and the children, it seems, are having cabin fever, having been cooped up at home for several days. BUT! I don’t want to go to the malls to while away the time because
a) it’s expensive;
b) it’s crowded with too many people;
c) we don’t want to get sick.
This cool weather, though I love so much because there is no oppressing heat, is causing a lot of people having asthma attacks (thank God there’s none for my son though he had an attack a week before Christmas) and respiratory-related illnesses so much so that people who wear scrubs uniforms are in for the long haul even after the new year.
Respiratory illnesses and the virus that cause these are airborne and we don’t want to catch any viruses from others so we will stay home to be safe than sorry 🙂

I was doing a little research on chocolates when I remembered the term Swisher Sweets from a conversation with a friend not so long ago so I immediately Googled what these were. Oh no, they can’t be used for baking! 😀
Anyway, I’ve been meaning to bake goodies with chocolate to give away to hubby’s siblings and their families. I’ve got the basic ingredients for baking and I’ve already practiced doing buttercream frosting the other day.
How was it? I miscalculated the milk so it was a bit flowing, tsk, tsk! I still got a few days before Christmas to practice on that particular skill and if I don’t make it perfectly, I’d probably ditch the frosting altogether for the goodies and make these for my children, instead of for the giveaways.
Why so? There is that thing called “appreciating” what has been given as gifts, especially those that required manual labor that some people don’t seem to understand. Oh well…

Weddings are wonderful occasions where everyone is dressed up to the nines, male and female alike, children too.
Weddings make people happy. Weddings make people cry (ok, that also includes the financial aspect, lol). Weddings make some married couples relive their vows and feel like newlyweds again. Children on the other hand feel the “magic” that wedding celebrations bring. Continue Reading »
