Weekend Reflections- Food Cravings

Dominique Thoughts

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.

Low Fat Milk, yoghurt and  fruits are what I go for these days. Eating this way is definitely more healthy and will help me in my weight lost regime.

What have you been craving for lately?

Feel Good Friday – My Smiley Kids

Dominique Thoughts

This week has been another roller coaster week for me. Ryan is down with Viral conjunctivitis and has two weeks MC.  It has been really stressful trying to constantly separate the boys from each other as this infection is  highly contagious.  I have to keep on sterilizing and cleaning the toys that they commonly play with to prevent the one from infecting the other.

We had been busy bringing Ryan from one doctor to another and finally a specialist when it seemed that his eye wasn’t getting any better with the different medications given.  The good thing is that he is still as cheery as normal and can even smile and post for this picture.

I am happy that I finally got to sit and watch Roy swim during his swim class. The previous sessions his grandparents brought him swimming as I was confined to the house with Riona as she was less then a month’s old and I was still in my confinement period.  He was like a little doggie so eager to get into the swimming pool and he really enjoyed his swimming lesson with his swim instructor. He can now swim with the aid of a kick board and is no long afraid of putting his head underwater.

I am glad to see my little girl start smiling at me when I call her name and talk to her. She looks so uber cute with her toothless smile and chubby cheeks.

How has your week been?
