Ever since Alex is accepted to the new school, where he currently attending, we’re a bit concerned what we can make for him to bring to school for lunch. Yup, the new school doesn’t prepare meals. They prepare snacks in between only. We shopped for days to find the perfect container. It’s a bit heavy, [...]
Uncle Jeff would make rice krispy treats every time he visited, which everybody in the family would fight over it. This time, the first batch he made was gone in 30 seconds. Finally, he made three batches, which the last batch was made at my home, all for me. Of course, at the end, [...]
My cousin did not plan to take her son, Corey to go trick-or-treating this year. It’s Corey’s first Halloween. As we were getting Ashlyn & Alex ready for trick-or-treat, Corey arrived with his costume, a Moo Moo Cow.
