Rainy days have come, and what other way to best warm us up than good bowl of chicken soup? Here's how I cook up the classic comfort food...
Ingredients:
1/2 kg chicken
1 5-peso coin sized ginger
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 dash of sugar
1/2 kg chicken
1 tsp garlic, minced
1 whole onion, chopped
1/4 kg elbow macaroni
1 small can of evaporated milk
1 carrot, cut into small cubes
2 stalks of celery, cut into small bits
5 stalks of spring onions, cut into small strips
Salt to taste
1. Place chicken in enough water to cover it. Add ginger, pepper, salt, soy sauce and sugar. Cook to a boil.
2. Drain chicken but keep the broth. Cut chicken into small bite-size pieces and saute in garlic and onion.
3. Add broth and macaroni. Bring to a boil and simmer until macaroni is al dente. Add milk, carrots, celery and spring onions and cook for another 10 minutes.
4. Add salt depending on taste.
Try this one at home for a nice family eating-bonding experience!
Love lots,

I came across a post from a party souvenir's supplier at my Multiply groups regarding an event at the NBC tent called "Along Came Baby" this June 7, 2009. The event will start at 9:00 in the morning and end at around 7:00 in the evening. According to Party Souvenirs:
"There will be food booths, hard-to-find baby stuff, a kiddie activity center to be managed by Gymboree, on-the-go activities by Gymboree in the afternoon, a short musicale, story-telling, face painting, prizes and surprises. Entrance is free so come and join us.Party Souvenirs Inc will have a booth near the entrance. Hope you could visit us. We are suppliers of wholesale party souvenirs with very good quality at affordable prices. "
Looks like a lot of fun...much like the one Ella had during her trial class at Gymboree...
Hope to see you there! (Well, with the kind of weather we have these days, I sure hope to see us there too!)
Love lots,
I can't believe it! Beauty and Minerals opened another prebuy season for the Charm Holiday Brush Set! I never thought they'd have it available again since I've been asking about this for quite a long time now...I wasn't able to get one when they first tried to sell it since I don't know too much about make up before. But now that I know a little, thanks to my idol beauty bloggers, I am lemming for this ever so popular make up tool!
I don't have pictures cause I'm afraid of borrowing one, but you can check those pink cuties from this post!
It said "Prebuy Period : June 2 to July 1, 2009" which gives me enough time to squeeze the amount of just Php 850.00 in my June 30th budget! Yehey! Hubby already knows about this, so it's okay. He's actually been waiting for it too! :)
Love lots,
I haven't been blogging lately due to lack of time, inspiration and good health. Good thing I got inspiration from another mommy blogger of official chosen fate wherein she displayed what her son Asher can do at 15 months. Now that Ella is 1 year and a half, I guess it's also the best time to update the post I did around 2 months ago....
What Ella Can Do At 18 Months:
1.Say the name friends and family members. Mommy, daddy, nono (lolo), nona (lola), tito pi (pe for christopher) , anan (tito allan), tita d (denise), tita pat, tito mi (mike), inan (tito ian), yayay (yaya), Jiji (Jinjin), Bambam (Banban), Ninay (Lilay) and Ena (Ella)
2.Say the name of animals, toys and characters. Momananie (Mama Mary), Jija (Jesus), Cowcow
(the SM ox stuffed toy), Moo (stuffed toy cow), Meow (stuffed toy cat), Biddy (stuffed toy piggy), Tity (Hello Kitty), Mamy (Handy Manny), Mouse (Mickey Mouse), Babam (Spongebob), Momas (Thomas the train), Pooh, Babidee (Jollibee), Cocodayday (crocodile), tuto (turtle), titen (chicken), doodie (doggie), miming (cat), fity (fishy), teetteet (bird), yahyah (horse), and daki (ducky).
3.Say other words used for work, play and everything else. cook, tooki (cookie), babos(bubbles), susi (keys), open, mimi (sleep), toti (water), teebi (tv), yamyam (eat), jis (juice), tis (shoes), pitow (pillow), poopoo (poop), ees (ears), nose, pit (feet), nappy, totolit (chocolate), upup (go upstairs), no, ayaw, bu (beautiful, whenever she sees my makeup kits), bad (bag), bo (ball), nana(banana), yice (rice), aytim (ice cream), eno (hello), hi, boomboom (vehicles), outs (ouch),oops, uh-oh, oh man (ala swiper), toys, chichow (slipper), dedeyo (milk), she loves adding "yo" towords by the way), eyes, teet (teeth), miming (swimming), ati-on (badminton), bi-bi (bracelet),beebee (baby), teyon (crayon), ena (umbrella), papi (flower), itot (the rotating computer chair), tun (sun), moon, no-my no-my (she used to call star -tow, no she calls them no-my no-my because she thought the ABC song is an extension of twinkle twinkle...get it? "now I know my ABC")
4.Identify things and body parts when asked. These are for some of the things she knows but can't say yet like computer, Tigger, spanker (her friendly wooden pamalo), head, tummy, hands, and tongue.
5.Imitate a few animal sounds like ah-ah-ah-ah (chicken), bowwow/awaw (dog), moo (cow) and meow (cat).
6.Show dance moves like circling the arms and hands ala sinabawang gulay, circling the wrist ala muslim dance, banging the head, shaking the booty, and turning around to her favorite songs, Single Ladies by Beyonce Knowles, Poker Face by Lady Gaga, Womanizer by Britney Spears and other cartoon and tv show theme songs...well actually any lively music she feels like dancing to.
7.Sing....yes sing! I couldn't believe it either! She can sing the first 2 notes from Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, the adlib of Poker Face (pppoker face, pppoker face...momo-momo, although she says it this way papapapi papapapi, momo-momo), The ABC song 'til g, and some tunes she created on her own.
8.Do loving and greeting acts like kiss, hug, flying kiss, hi and beautiful eyes.
9.Play kids' games like saw-saw suka, peek-a-boo, pretend doctor and pretend cook.
10.Display tantrum and be a snob while saying "hmmm"....something I'm not too proud of, however I must acknowledge that she is actually practicing a display of emotions which is STILL a development.
Whew! I enumerated everything I can muster because I'd like Ella to read about this when she's older so she'd know how much early childhood stimulation works wonders on kids.
How about you, what has your child learned to date? Enumerate them and have fun!
Love lots,
