Quality time!!

Today I let hubby take his break off being my chauffeur and have my girls be with me for more bonding instead!! As for my son, he volunteers himself to keep Dad company. How lovely~~

My girls gone crazy at store trying oversized frame glasses.... lol. 

Speaking of retro style, I couldn't help myself buying this artsy tea kettle at NM today. I went home and brew myself a pot of tea.....the drawback as well as a good feature ( this sounds contradictory) of this kettle is that it doesn't have that high pitch beeping sound after it's boiling. That being said I have to watch the water boiling myself...without leaving it out of my sight!! {Maybe I can buy an extra alarm thinging and stick on it just in case...... }

MacKenzie Childs "Country Check" tea kettle! 

It turns out today is a great sunny day but tomorrow it might rain... oh, well...

Have a cup of freshly brewed tea?!

Endearment!!

Whenever I'd like to thank my family for their support especially hubby's taking care of kids while I had my best time with girls night out, a nice home-cooking for my family is always ensued!!

Here are examples of a quick supper which allows you endear yourself to your family! They are going to love both you and the food!

We love the creamy taste of white sauce but I always order/buy tomato cream sauce/ sun-dried tomato cream sauce for a little healthier twist! 

When saute shrimps, I also use herb infused dipping oil + extra virgin olive oil for more flavor!....try it and you'll love how much aroma it can add into your dishes!!

I call this " Fussili Melody" as Niel loves fussili pasta while Heidi and Ilona love Ravioli and add mushroom, Spinach, shrimps, then there you have a healthy and tasty hearty meal!!
Two dishes in one...easy for mom to do! ^^

This is a quick supper for hubby as he lurrrrrrrrrrves hash brown. 
A home-grilled chicken satay (store bought satay sauce for marinate and dipping) and some mini hot dogs keep his protein intake in-check!

As for me, I don't need much food for dinner but I eat 6 meals throughout the day and munch almonds all day long to keep my protein intake in-check. Then, here comes my soul food....fashion meg. lol.

 So, what I learned today is that you need to "belt" your pleat skirt to add a cool definition, buy as many sequin pieces as possible, and stock up "PINK"!!!! ^^

I was so inspired again by Ann's feather or petal-like cardigan the other night she wore to our girl's night out. So I dug out my vintage find last year....this loop wool cardigan. ....Oh, yes, if you are wondering, I am wearing fall look already. lololol...... nay, jk!

"Pink" can be girly and powerful if you pair it right!!!
