Krispy Kreme Chocolate Karnival

Last March, my children and I got an invitation to go to the launching of Krispy Kreme Chocolate Glazed Doughnuts along with blogger friends and media personalities. We had fun being with friends. Our children had fun too playing the games in the venue.

This is a good way to advertisement for a new product, don’t you think so? I had to blur my children’s faces because I don’t want them posted in this blog. Hope you understand.

here is a more detailed post about the event.

Health Books Wanted

I have written about books in this post.

We do have books about different topics but I have noticed that we do not have a lot of books that has topics about health.

I had to resort to researching what the web has to offer when one time, my father talked about a certain kind of cancer that made his former bosses decide to strip the flooring of their offices many years ago.

It was in fact called Mesothelioma cancer and thanks to the web, we knew what it was called.

The offices had new tiles for the flooring because of the possible effect of the asbestos on the health of the people.

I wish employers are as considerate as what my father had while he was working.

And now I know what is missing in our library, health books.

Open Your Mouth and Say “Ahhhh…”

My children need to visit a dentist soon. Some of their teeth need tending. We have been dentist shopping too for the last five years and have been to three dentists. Of course I wish to have a regular dentist to go to, whether he is a Plano Dentist or someone who is geographically closer to home.

I believe that dentists play a big role in teaching about oral hygiene and taking care of the teeth. For children, it is not easy to open their mouth and say “ahhh…” to strangers wearing masks and holding things for poking the mouth.

There should be a trust, a bonding that should develop first before they sit on that big dental chair 🙂

Smokey Kettle Maple Syrup

This small bottle of Smokey Kettle Maple Syrup was given by a good friend MC around two or so years ago. The photo was taken last year or so ago.I remember when we were still going to grad school, we’d go home at night (sometimes classes end a little after 8pm) with her younger sister CC who graduated with honors in her course.

Both women are admirable, MC being a teacher like me and CC who stopped being a corporate accountant to become a business woman. She went through medical coding training courses to become a transcriptionist later on. I am not sure if she is still in this kind of business.

Does Chocolate Cause Acne?

I love chocolates and need I say that my children do too?

We always have chocolates in the house though before we have these in bars, now these come in bite sizes. The intake is also moderated since the kids ( and I ) have these for dessert.
