Bags and Cheesecake on a Friday

The bags

Tiger girl just entered school and to get her ready we went shopping for a school bag for her. I initially wanted to get her a Pororo school bag as it is her favourite cartoon character. However after browsing online and looking at the sizes of the Pororo school bag I found them unsuitable for her needs.

The next favourite character of hers is Hello Kitty. There are plentiful Hello Kitty bags on sale in the department store but I didn’t settle for any as they were a bit too pricey for my liking. I saw a really nice Hello Kitty bag in purple but at $90 it is not something which I would invest in for her at her age.

In the end we decided on this pink pokka dot bag for her. Tiger girl chose it from the shelves herself and is happy to carry her own school bag. I decided to buy new school bags for the boys too since we were buying a school bag for the girl. I was sure that they too will be delighted to have a new school bag each in their favourite colours.

After all the shopping the kids were looking forward to having some cake. Instead of eating out I decided to bake a cheesecake instead. Monkey boy loves chocolate while Doggie boy would prefer a plain cheesecake. To please both boys I decided to bake a chocolate swirl cheesecake instead. The best of both in a cake.

Any interesting happening in your live this week?

Writer’s Workshop: Let’s Go Kids!!

The kids

 

My  morning routine has changed a bit since we moved into August. This month Tiger girl started school so there is one more person to get ready before we leave the house in the morning. It used to be alright to leave her in her  pyjamas but not anymore as she has to get fed, dressed and hair tied up properly before she is off to school.

Nowadays my daily morning routine starts earlier.

In the morning

  •  Get up and get myself ready
  • Set the breakfast for the kids while checking my mails and replying e-mails
  • Draft up a to-do list and check if there are groceries that need to be bought today.
  • Plan what to cook for the day.
  • Wake everyone up
  • Get all of them dressed, fed and ready to go out of the door.
  • Drive everyone and drop them off at school/work respectively
  • Go to the supermarket to buy groceries
  • Come back and do the housework/ prepare for lunch.
  • Cook lunch and finish up on blogging tasks.
  • Tutor Monkey boy and make sure he finishes his homework, food etc before he leaves for school.

How does your morning schedule look like?

Is it packed or do you have free time for yourself?
