Top 10 Highlights of March 2012

,

March was a month which really flew by me. The one week school holidays which was the kids had really threw my scheduling out of the window. I guess that I have the whole of April to recover before the kids go on a 4 week break starting end of May.

March was a bumper month of posting for me as we ran 15 giveaways here on Dominique’s Desk. I guess when I start doing new things here I go all out for it.

Without further ado here is a recap on what was happening here on Dominique’s Desk.

 

  1. Monkey boy's cakeWe started off the  month celebrating Monkey boy’s 8th birthday at a Japanese restaurant. This year we are having a travel theme hence the Aeroplane cake.
  2. It was time for some confession and I talked about ten things which I am not good at. 
  3. My little tiger girlWe had a great time bringing the kids out to East Coast Park on the weekends.
  4. swinging funTiger girl had a blast on the swing at Pasir Ris Park while the boys went  bike riding .  She loves having the wind tussle her hair.
  5. Tiger girl started to self feed and is able to use kiddy utensils to feed herself during meal times now. It is less of a hassle for me as now I just need to monitor that she doesn’t make too big a mess during meal times.  She is also being schooled into becoming a multilingual toddler.
  6. I was alerted to the atrocities of the meat industries and learned about the junk in our beef.
  7. my 3 kidsI gave you ten reasons why you would want to be my kid. The 3 of them really have it GOOD.
  8. It is great being a woman  and I am sure many of you ladies will agree with me.
  9. We had two guest blogger on for  March who wrote about – Do you have each other’s back? and Learning Spanish
  10. Last of all I wrote about my love for tea and why it is my my chosen drink

What are your highlights for March?

10 Things That Makes My Life Easier

, , ,

Checking her messages

There are many gadgets available today which certainly help to make your life much better. I’m for gadgets which do help to speed up the tasks which I have to do daily.

  1. The washing machine.
    I like it that I just have to dump the dirty clothes in it, put in the detergent, turn the dial and press start. An hour or so later the clothes come out clean. I’ve tried manually washing the clothes when the washing machine was spoilt and it really takes too much work and time to do so.
  2. My Mobile Phone
    I love how easy it is to connect with others through texting instead of taking on the phone. I use the notes function/ check my facebook and emails on the go and also use the alarm clock function on it. I also have some games on it and they keep the kids occupied when we are waiting outside.
  3. My Laptop and internet connection
    It helps me connect to the rest of the world and makes it easier to blog , get the latest information etc. I would certainly be lost without it.
  4. A weekly housekeeper
    We get a cleaning lady to come in weekly to do the major cleaning in the house. It really helps to keep the house in order and frees up my time to concentrate more fully on the kids.
  5. My little house helpers.
    They make it easier and faster to do the housework as they help to do the laundry, vacuuming and cleaning up after themselves.
  6. The television
    It gives everyone a time out each day. It’s also great that it can be paired with the WII/ Xbox so that I’m able to do my workouts at home without having the hassle of going to the gym.
  7. The slow cooker
    I love that it has a timer function and will automatically keep my soups/stews warm after it has been cooked.
  8. The electric kettle
    It’ so much easier to boil water using it and I don’t need to keep watch on the fire.
  9. My parents/Parents -in laws
    They come and help out with the kids as often as they can.  Without their help it would be difficult to get ME time off and some quite time to myself on a regular basis.
  10. Having a routine for everyone.
    The kids know what they have to do on a daily basis so I don’t need to keep on prodding or nagging them to complete the listed tasks.

What do you have that makes your life easier?
