Writer’s Workshop- Happy Mommy

 

Earlier on this week I wrote about the top ten task within my job and how hectic it can be sometimes as a mom. However difficult it may seem to cope with a extremely full platter it’s still the most rewarding job which I have.

Here is a list of 10 things which I love  and am thankful about motherhood.

  1.  I get to spend most of the time with my 3 darlings.
  2. I  learn something new each day from the kids.
  3. I get to actively participate in their growing up years and shower them with all the love and care that I can offer them.
  4. It’s a humbling experience but I do learn how to be a more patient and better person.
  5. Learning again from my kids how to enjoy the simplest things in life.
  6. It gives you the incentive to learn and do things that you never thought was possible.
  7. It makes you sit down and take note of your own actions and how they can impact the kids. You become less impulsive.
  8. I get to enjoy hugs and kisses and hear ” I love you” on a daily basis. It’s great being affirmed by your kids that they love you.
  9. I get to play dress up and do activities which I didn’t get to do when I was a child.
  10. It makes you cherish and enjoy what you have more then when you were not a parent.

What do you love about motherhood?
What’s your best memory about being a mother?

Writer’s Workshop: Grandparents Comming For Dinner

This week on Mama Kat’s  Writer’s workshop  I’m answering the prompt-

4.) Your significant others family is coming over in two hours..think about what’s in your kitchen. Now QUICK…what’s for dinner!?!

I don’t really have guest over for dinner. However if the grandparents do pop by they will be able to savour any of these  Japanese dishes. My kids love Japanese food so we have Japanese cuisine often in our household.

If I am feeling adventurous and am up to it on energy and drive they will be having the following.

 

Rice with breaded chicken, tempura brinjal, Agedashi tofu, chawamushi and green tea. It would take me approximately 2 hours to make this including the time taken for marinating the chicken.

However if I am short on time they will be having one of the following one dish meals.

Curried macaroni with garden vegetables and chicken nuggets.
It takes about an hour to prepare this meal.

 Cold soba noodles with crab stick and fish cake.
This will take about 1/2 hr to make.

What do you have for dinner?
