Bottomless iced tea. Our children love to drink this beverage, bottomless or not.
One of the more popular “resto-rant” would be about iced tea not getting filled fast enough especially when there are a lot of customers.
We have encountered those too but more often, we don’t. So what’s the secret?
Sit near where the pitchers are kept 😉
One more thing, we ask if it is ok for two young children to share the bottomless iced tea. They usually say yes. If only they know these two children drink more than I can drink, so “shhhhh…” 😉

I know this is a Lasang Pinoy Sundays meme and my title is French Toast 😉 The LaPiS theme for this week is MELTed bliss
This is one of the children’s favorite breakfast and snack fare: French Toast
Nothing fancy, I just mixed sweet milk (condensed) with egg, put a dash of cinnamon powder for the dip (is it called dip?)
Then I put sliced cheese on the lower half of a bread from a loaf, folded it and dipped in the egg mixture
I then cooked this with a little melted butter turning over the bread once one side is cooked and the bread is ready to be served 🙂 The melted cheese inside is just plain bliss 🙂
The kids have this with cold chocolate milk or just plain milk, yummy!

HANDS is the theme for this week’s Photo Hunt and here I wrote here that we have a hand in educating our two younger children.
I thought about featuring this photo of my youngest daughter’s hand holding a wooden toy with five pecking hens which looks like a handmade toy.
I thought the concept of this toy is originally Philippine-related but when I Googled the term, I found out the toy is of Scandinavian origin!
Surprise, surprise!
Below is the toy in a close-up photo:

It is summer in this part of the world.
Summer means the children are not in school so parents should think of ways to keep the children entertained, occupied and challenged.
One of the games children can play with is the Twister Game. Below is a Twister game being played with my son as one of the players.
This game not only tests their ability to listen and follow instructions but it also tests their flexibility and resistance. It also is a good way to let them think creatively on how they would make themselves more comfortable without breaking their hold on the colored circles 🙂

Arts and crafts are a big thing for me, as a mother and as a teacher. I have written articles about why it is important to teach these to children here and here.
One of the ways to show how creative the children are is by giving away handmade greeting cards during special occasions. Be these manually made or done using the computer, I am sure these will be appreciated well.
One of the ways to send greetings to loved ones during special occasions is by sending online greeting cards. Yes, these are economical and has a fast delivery.
The other day, I saw my six year old daughter Tania make a Valentine greeting card on the desktop and here is what she made:
Simple but it sure brings the message across 🙂

Doing crafts is one interesting way to spend time with children. As a homeschooling mother, the kids and I look forward to these activities where they get to experiment and work with paints, glue, scissors and different art materials.
Why, we even made our own Christmas decor last Christmas. We made paper stockings, personalized gift tags, and photos on the tree.
Below is one craft we made last year:
Disney Princesses Wind Chimes
When using paints, it is important to have the children wear something to protect their clothes, like a big old shirt or an apron.
Cover the work area with paper so that the paint will not flow on the table and make a mess.
Go get those art materials now and spend quality time with your children 🙂
