Nap time is very important in helping young children grow.
In my children’s school, preschoolers and early graders till third grade have time to nap after their lunch. Lunch time runs from 12 – 1:30pm daily. My youngest daughter is experiencing this because she is in second grade. After the children have their lunch, they brush their teeth and get their mats for nap time.
We didn’t get a mat for her during the mattress sale before the classes opened because we still have a mat that my older daughter used when she was in the early grades.
Sometimes though, when my daughter feels tired, she tells me she wakes up to find the 1:30pm teacher in their classroom already 😀

Lasang Pinoy Sundays for this week is all about Noche Buena.
Noche Buena is that midnight feast meal which families share to celebrate Christmas. These can be a table full of elaborately-prepared dishes or just simple meals that best reflect what each and every member of the family wants to share or to have.
We have had a simple Noche Buena. Pasta carbonara, baked ham, macaroni salad for the kids and my hubby and potato salad for me. We were going to have lunch in my hubby’s aunt the next day so I dd not cook a lot.
What I did (the salad) was just for me to have during the Noche Buena and breakfast. Or so I thought.
Who would have thought that they (hubby and the kids) wanted the potato salad better than the macaroni salad?

Lasang Pinoy Sundays for this week is about Christmas Goodies.
I would have featured a few of the Christmas donuts that we had for the past two weekends but these were too “westernized” for me.
I have decided then to feature the butterscotch bars that the kids and I baked last week. This was in preparation for my Frugal Christmas theme. Yeah, even if I still have to practice baking which means I will shell out more than I have to, sige na, pangatawanan ko na 😀
Ok, I cheated.
I used a ready mix butterscotch/brownie mix (whatever) for this. I don’t know, it tasted like how a butterscotch bar should taste like. It was a bit, a teeny wee bit crunchy on top and soft and moist in the inside.
All sliced pieces baked from the 9 x 9 baking pan were gone before 24 hours were up (should I mention that we still had a pack of food for the gods given to us during that time). Maybe these were good to be given as goodies after all 😉
