It’s time again to recap on all the fun and excitement that has happened this Feburary. Even though it was a short month there has been a lot of action here.

1.

I talked  about  how I needed to Keep up with the kids  and building up my energy levels and overall fitness. It will be getting more and more exhausting for me now that Tiger girl is more mobile and running around.

2. I expressed what were my Top 10 Passions and you can clearly see that photography is certainly in my list together with my love for family and food.

3. It had been a long time since I experience the cold and during our trip to Taiwan the temperature fell to a chilly 12 degree. Luckily we were able to have some tasty  drinks to warm keep us warm. I’m also glad that Tiger  girl did fall ill during or after the trip as she hasn’t been exposed to the cold before.

4. It was dragon galore at the Lukang Lantern Festival  as numerous lanterns were built specially to commemorate the Year of the Dragon.  I too many pictures of all the different lanterns there and not only the dragons were magnificent those built by the school children were equally captivating.

5. I made a love confession about the Top 10 Reasons why I love you  and will always do. I’m sure R was touched by this gesture.

6. It’s great to have a lifebuoy around and I was certainly glad that R was in town and his office is not that far from home on my Most Memorable Day at Work.  I’m really hoping that it will never happen to me again as it would have been a real nightmare.

7. I took the plunge and tried out a meme which I have been seeing around on Buckeroomama’s Site. She participates in Scavanger Hunt  very regularly and I thought of giving it a try. However  I doubt that I will be able to take part as often as she does.

It has been a month of love and showcases all my True loves and why they will always have a special place in my heart.

8. Manners and behaving properly is something which I always insist that the kids do. I was glad to  have been able to review the book – Terrible, Awful, Horrible Manners which help to put the message of behaving  to my 5 yr old.

9. I  started having giveaways and sweepstakes on my blog to make it more enticing for my readers.

At present the giveaways that are still running till march are
