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.

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.

Having a proper study lamp is extremely important if you want to take proper care of your eyes. With the correct lamp you will not have to squint your eyes and face the possibility of spoiling your eyesight due to glare or insufficient lighting. It will also ensure you having the correct indoor lighting to prevent developing blurred vision. We were fortunate to be able to test out the 3M Polarizing Light LED6000 when it was delivered last week.

With the  Lime Green 3M LED 6000 Polarizing Lamp the kids and I can now do our reading in comfort.We do not need to deal with flicking or glaring light while reading and even harmful ultra violet rays due to the 3M Air Guiding Technology being applied to the lamp. The possibility of having multi-shadowing and  electromagnetic disruption to reading is also eliminated.

Lasting 50,000 hours with a consumption level of between 3.6-12 Watts  the sleek and ergonomic lamp offers five brightness levels to suit all your reading needs. It is certainly nifty energy saving device to have in the home.

You just have to take a look at the base of the lamp to see how high tech the design is.

One needs to only swipe your hand over the sensors to switch on the lamp and adjust the   level of brightness of the light.

With a minimum brightness of 10 Lux to a maximum brightness of 1,000 Lux you can be assured of optimal brightness for your reading pleasure.

Being a full time mom I only have time to settle down and read my favourite photography magazine when the kids are all  asleep.  With the 3M LED 6000 Polarizing Lamp I can enjoy reading without disturbing the sleeping baby in the same room.   I don’t even need to switch the lamp up to a brightness level of four of five as it is bright enough for reading comfortably under  with the ceiling light switched on at the same time.
