Monday Music Groves – Reggae

Photobucket

This week I’m really honored to share the #2 Spotlight at XmasDolly’s Monday’s Music Moves Me Meme.

They say that music cuts through all languages and barriers. From Bob Marley who is one of the main icons in Reggae music. From the west Reggae music has made it’s way all over to the east.

I can hear the signature beats throughout the song and it really puts one in a real laid back mode.

 

Questions:

1.  Crunchy or smooth peanut butter?

Crunchy Peanut Butter of course. Love the nutty taste.
2.  What is your favorite color Rose?

Blue roses are my favourite.

I received that bouquet above for Valentines Day this year.

3.  Do you remove your shoes when you walk into your home?

Yes. I feel that it’s cleaner not to walk around the house with shoes on. We have a shoe rack at the door and the shoes are kept there. If the kids want we do have bedroom slippers for them but the floor seldom gets cold as we live in the tropics.

4.  What is your favorite season?

happy christmas everybody!

I’m going to say “Gift Giving Season” as we don’t experience the four seasons over here in Singapore.  Everyday is either hot and humid or wet and humid.

5.  Approximately how many hours a day do you spend blogging?
If you are counting uninterrupted hours that would be 1-2hrs. However given my crazy schedule of juggling the kids and household I rarely have more then 10-15 min in front of the PC each time. The post that I am writing can be sitting in the draft folder for 5-6 hours before it is finally completed and ready to be published.

Aloha Friday – Friday the Thirteen Edition


This week has been rather chaotic for me.It has been exhausting dealing with the boys and transitioning both of them to sleep on the respective bunk beds by themselves. I have to get Doggy boy to sleep on either the upper or lower bunk as he needs to vacate his bed for the next occupant- Tiger girl. There is still a tussle of who is to be sleeping on the upper bunk and there doesn’t seem to be a solution yet. I did consider  just letting both of them sleep on the upper bunk but they would be too busy talking and playing with each other to actually sleep, hence the need for separation.

The weather is also getting to me with the intense heat. I know it’s almost the start of summer but having 32 degrees Celsius indoor is really getting to me. I’m sure that my electricity bill will shoot through the roof this month as the air-con is switched on in the afternoon or else Tiger girl won’t even be able to take a nap. Even with the fan directly blowing at her she still wakes up drench in sweat after dozing off for 10 minutes or so.

Everyday I’ve been craving for ice-cool water to cool down and get away from the crazy heat and wind the hyper kids down. A hot mama makes one become a irritated mama.

This week’s question(s)

How do you keep cool? What’s the best thirst quenching drink you recommend?
