Miscellany Monday- Bags, carriers and all

Bags and more bags have been on my mind lately. Bags that serve different purpose for different people.

#1- Buying a schoolbag.

Ryan will be starting elementary school soon. I’ve been looking around for suitable schoolbags for him. I will most probably get an ergonomic bag for him as it would be better for his spine. I will be having my eyes wide open for any upcoming sales on school bags.

#2- Getting a baby carrier for Riona.

At present I have a sling and a pouch for Riona to place her in when we are out. However I have been thinking of logistically it can be quite dangerous to have her in the sling . I need to use both my hands to hold the boys when we are out and will not be able to use one hand to support her head while she is in the sling. I’m seriously thinking of getting an Ergo to help me out but will have to test it out in the shops 1st.

#3- Getting a all in one bag.

I’m at present using a canvas satchel bag as a diaper bag/all-in-one bag when I go out with the kids. I’m still looking around for something which is a bit more lightweight as the bag really weighs a ton with everything in it. Another thing is that the strap keeps on getting loose even though I have pre-adjusted it to the length which I am comfortable with. Maybe it is because the bag is old or it is because there has been too many things being placed within it?

Any suggestions on bags?

Weekend Reflections- Food Cravings

Dominique Thoughts

WeekendReflections

Food. What do you crave to eat at the moment?

The boys have been having it good these few weeks as most of their cravings had been satisfied.

Ryan has been craving for pizza this week. With him being home with red eye and missing out on school and swimming lessons I relented when he asked if we could order pizza. We had pizza delivery twice this week. He we extremely happy when the pizza delivery boy arrived at our house. He rushed to pay for the pizza and brought the food to the dining table. Ryan normally eats quite slowly but when it comes to pizza ( his favourite) he can finish two slices within twenty minutes instead of taking thirty to forty minutes.

Talk about eating the food you like. It really makes an impact to the speed the food is consumed.

This is Roy’s current crave – Mango Pudding. We normally order this dessert for him when we have our meals at a Chinese restaurant. For those who haven’t tried this dessert before it is mango jelly with bits of mango fruit inside. Carnation milk is normally poured over it to make it taste better.

My taste buds have changed a lot since I was pregnant with Riona. Many things which I used to enjoy eating no longer interest me. I use to like snacking on potato chips and ice-cream but strangely I’m not into junk food nowadays.
