My kids and I have always loved drinking milk. Ever since they were one they have been introduced to fresh milk. I prefer choosing fresh milk over formula or UHT packet milks for the kids. I feel that it means offering them the wholesome goodness of fresh milk as a source of deriving calcium, vitamin A, B and Zinc for their growing bodies .

For me, it is important that the kids be served milk that is real.  They should only have milk which has  No additives, chemicals, antibiotics and is hormone free.  Another important factor is that it should taste good too!!

Greenfields is one brand of milk which my kids and I love to drink. They love drinking the Chocolate Malt from their range of milk and it was the first 1L packet which they finished up within a day.  The yummy chocolate malt taste isn’t too over powering and thick. The three kids can easily drink a cup of chocolate  milk in the morning and another cup before bed at night.

Greenfields Factory

Greenfields factory is located in East Java which is near Singapore. It only take 2-3 days to ship their milk over here as compared to the 6-7  days delivery time for milk which comes from Australia /New Zealand. Their milk is just all natural honest milk. Our milk is produced, pasteurised and packed  within the dairy and it is single-pasteurised, ensuring optimal freshness.

Besides just drinking the milk from the packet, I do use milk in many dishes which we eat at home.

Here are some simple dishes which the kids have made using milk.

Milk Pudding

Ingredients for Milk Pudding

Doggie boy loves eating pudding so during the holidays we got a packet of instant pudding mix from the supermarket for him to try out. Following the instructions in the back he only needed to add milk and water to the pudding before mixing it over a low flame.

He followed through the steps under supervision and added in all the necessary ingredients before whisking it under a small flame to ensure that it was well mixed. When the mixture was well mixed, it was poured out into the moulds and left to chill in the fridge for 3 hours.  It certainly tasted yummy with the milk giving it the extra creamy texture.

Mash potatoes is something which Monkey boy loves to eat. Each time we eat out at KFC it is one side dish which he will never fail to order.

It is actually very simple to be done and can be made at home easily.

The ingredients that you need are

– Potatoes

– butter

– milk

Instructions

1) De skin the potatoes and half them before putting them into boiling water.

2) When the potatoes are soften drain away the water and mash them.

3) Add in milk and butter until desired consistency and texture.

The milk which is added to the mash potatoes make it smooth and creamy and the kids simply loved it.

10 Recent Pictures of My life with Kids

Life is certainly really packed with kids around. Here are some snippets of the pictures which were taken with my handphone.

This term Monkey boy will be spending more time in the kitchen as one of his jobs will be to cook some of the dishes for diner 2 to 3 times a week as part of his holistic learning experience.

A really rare find. $0.20 kiddy ride at the market. Tiger girl was happy to go on the ride 3-4 times instead of once like she is normally allowed. Most kiddy rides cost between $1 and $2 per ride which I feel that it is too costly for a ride.

This year we have adjusted the kids schedule so that we leave Sunday free for our family. It is less stressful and we have more time to do activities as a family.

The kids enjoy eating out on the weekend. If we do go for a meal at the Xin Wang Hong Kong Cafe Doggie boy would order his favourite luncheon meat  noodles.

The kids are certainly eating much more. The boys get hungry really quickly and I see myself feeding them every 3 hours or so.

I can only see myself spending more and more on groceries as the kids grow.
