Cupcakes and Cookies on a Friday

Cupcake shoes

Cupcake shoes

I have always loved baking sweet treats. I like trying out baking items which I see on pinterest and via my FB stream. Recently I saw some lovely cupcake shoes and I thought it was a neat project to try out.  It didn’t look too challenging and was something which I felt was doable. Don’t they look lovely. My friends were glad to receive them  for tea.

M & M Cookies

M & M Cookies

The kids had cravings for cookies and wanted chocolate chip oatmeal cookies. Unfortunately we ran out of chocolate chips at home so I substituted it with the M & M chocolates which we had in the fridge instead. They tasted yummy!!

What have you been baking lately?

Writer’s Workshop: Keeping Track of July

July has certainly whizzed pass us.  The past month the kids were back in school and I had been kept busy with their new routine. Monkey boy has been selected for intensive badminton practice in school and has to go for CCA twice a week. That means 4hrs of practice with the coach weekly.

After spending a whole month on holiday everyone needed to get into high gear again.  Fortunately the kids were quite adaptable and there wasn’t any back to school blues for them.

Tiger girl had her first manicure and pedicure at the grand old age of TWO. Kids nowadays are really privileged!! I have to wait till I was working before I had my first manicure and it was done just before the wedding 12 years ago.

We celebrated my mum’s 64th birthday too this July with a simple dinner. She ordered her favourite Escagot which she hasn’t eaten in awhile.

Prata and Curry

The kids have been having their fair share of yummy prata. It is the  Indian dish which all 3 kids love to eat. I personally prefer eating Thosai to having prata. Paper Thoasai is my absolute favourite.

The kids and I have been doing more cooking at home as part of their holisitic learning experience. We used milk and cheese from Greenfields to make some yummy foods.

How was your July?
