3 Things To Ask Your Child’s Preschool

When you drop off your little ones at school, you may feel a sense of excitement and nervousness. Your loved one is growing up, ready to make new friends and tackle the first step of education. As you choose the right place, you’ll want to spend time asking questions and walking through the facility, ensuring it feels just right. During your tour, here are three things to ask the manager.

What Is Your Philosophy on Play?

Research shows that young children need to engage with each other, not only for fun but for healthy development. As kids build with blocks, run around in the yard or color various pictures, they strengthen their visual, motor and social skills, all of which are required for later academic needs. When you visit child care tampa palms, inquire about how much emphasis the school places on playtime. Are kids provided multiple recess periods? Do they have a variety of toys? What is the daily schedule? Seek out a location then that allows for old fashioned childhood fun.

Do You Use Sensory Activities?

Many parents are concerned about how their children learn their letters and numbers. Those are important, but so too is the ability to physically and neurologically develop. That includes the maturation of the five senses. Students may learn by manipulating objects, adjusting to noises, and moving around the room; therefore, multi-sensory activities such as molding clay and singing songs may build neurons and encourage additional understanding. Spend time asking about how the lessons focus on vision, sound, taste, touch, and smell.

May I See Your Recent Inspection Reports?

You drop off your loved ones to learn, but you also want them safe; therefore, don’t hesitate to ask about the recent reports showing how well the school is doing. You should look into health code evaluations, safety inspections and teacher background checks. Make sure you have a good vibe about the location. If you don’t, explore other options.

Children are only young for a little while, so let them explore and play. They may just blossom before your very eyes.

Book Xcess In Ipoh Is So Cool

So we checked out Book Xcess when we were back to Ipoh recently.  What intrigued me is that this bookstore is now inside a historical bank in Ipoh.  The 1st floor and basement of this premise have been renovated but you can still feel like you are in the bank.

Love the minimalist design on the first floor.

In the basement, the bank safety deposit boxes and bank vaults are converted into bookshelves.  How cool is that?  It brings back memories of my childhood, going to the bank with mom and walking into special secret room to check the safe deposit box.

The book store has many neon signs with tongue-in-chic messages too.

Don’t forget to check out BookXcess when you are in Ipoh, whether you are a bookworm or not.  It is now one of the most popular Instagram-worthy places here at the quirky Kong Heng Square.

Easy Keto Waffle Recipe

Ok, I have finally jumped on the Chaffle wagon.  Bought myself a waffle maker last week *chuckle*  What is chaffle? If you are following low carb or Keto, you have probably heard about it.   Chaffle is actually keto waffle but made with cheese and egg.  You can use parmesan, mozzarella or cream cheese.  You can also add some almond flour and baking powder or omit them.

Below is the easy Chaffle or Keto Waffle recipe:-

    • 1 egg, beaten
    • 1/2 cup cheese
    • 3 tablespoon of Almond flour (can omit)
    • 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder (can omit)
    • 1 tablespoon of Erythritol.  I bought mine here.  (can omit)
    • Cook until crisp. The chaffle gets crispier as it cools.

My new waffle maker

Finally…my Chaffles. They smell and taste so good!

I can even eat it as a sandwich!

This is going to be my comfort food.  Ever since I discovered Chaffles, I do not yearn for bread so much.   You know, many people who are stressed out turn to eating for comfort.  Some people would feel a lot better after having some cakes or a chocolate chip cookie.  Research has shown that constant exposure to stress can also trigger a potentially dangerous urge to indulge in rich comfort foods. Well, I certainly hope I am not one of them.  If you or anyone you know are self-medicating by turning to stress eating, you may want to talk to a therapist from www.betterhelp.com to manage your emotions.

Keto Cream Cheese Pancakes Without Flour

So, ever since I came across the easy keto pancake recipe shared by one of the members of the Keto Baked Group on Facebook, I am hooked.  What I love about this recipe is that you only need 5 ingredients and there is no almond flour or coconut flour involved.   Here are the ingredients you need to make this pancake :-

50g cream cheese  (The original recipe states 2 tbsp of cream cheese but I use 50g)
2 eggs
2 tablespoons of psyllium husk powder
1 tablespoon of  Erythritol. I got my Erythritol from JoyMix.
1 tablespoon of butter to oil the pan

Mix everything well and start cooking. If you find that the pancake mixture is a tad too thick, just add some water.

 Oil the pan with some butter and pour a ladle of pancake mix into it.

Here are my yummy keto pancakes.  Goes well with a cup of Low Carb Coffee and some Hong Kong Drama *wink*.

Mooncakes from Ming Yue Confectionary Ipoh

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival Everyone!

A few days ago, a video of people lining up all the way from the backlane to the front of the Ming Yue Confectionery Shop in Ipoh just to buy their mooncakes.  At that time, the shop is still not opened yet.  You can guess how popular Ming Yue Mooncakes are.  They are very traditional in taste and come in a no-frills box.   This old-school bakery in Pasir Pinji is very popular for their peanut-brittle snacks and I heard that during the days leading to the Mid-Autumn Festival, they do not make any peanut brittles but only mooncakes.

So, my sister managed to get a box of mooncake for my family (without having to queue).  Her friend has a bulk order so she had place order with the shop earlier.

A simple box of mooncake

Here are 1 double yolk lotus paste, 1 single yolk lotus paste, 1 single yolk white lotus and 1 mixed fruit.

Ming Yue’s mooncakes are freshly baked and affordable.  Unlike those you find at the malls, the mooncake cost about RM8 a piece.  Alas, I did not eat any because they are not keto mooncakes.  Have you tried Ming Yue’s mooncakes before?

Taman Tugu Forest Trail

On Saturday,  we decided to explore the Taman Tugu Forest Trail after reading about this and also seeing a friend shared her visit to this park.    The Taman Tugu Forest is located next to Tugu Negara (our National Monument) in the south-west and Padang Merbok in the Southeast.

It is about 40 acres consisting of approximately 4km of forest trails which is open daily to public from 7am – 6.30pm and admission is free of charge.    Project Taman Tugu aims to open more trails by 2020 which will have approx 7km of forest trails.

I found this information online:-

The Taman Tugu Project is a not-for-profit corporate social responsibility (“CSR”) initiative led by Khazanah Nasional Berhad (“Khazanah”) with the support of various public sector agencies, private sector companies, and civil-society organizations.

Taman Tugu – Conserving a 66-acre green-lung in the heart of Kuala Lumpur and turning it into an urban forest park for the community.

The forest trail is very easy to navigate and it has many signages to guide the visitors. All you have to do is follow the arrows and take one loop around the forest.   There were 4 adults and 4 kids in our group and we took about 1.5 hours to cover the 4km trail.   It would be faster if we did not stop to take photos at the many swings and rest area in the forest.  It was a fun day for everyone and we plan to go back again for another round of walking and perhaps a picnic.  Scroll down to see the photos taken during our walk.

One of the rest areas for people to climb up or sit down to rest.

Spotted some monkeys

A baby snail

Can you spot a skink?

Wild mushrooms

One of the many swings available inside the forest. Fun eh?

One of the best things about this park is this bright yellow coffee food truck – @2gocoffeekl!  I was delighted to see it as soon as we reached the entrance to the forest park.  My family and friends know that I love coffee and I must have my cuppa in the morning or else you need to stay away from me *chuckle*

Everyone taking a rest while having some juice and ice-cold coffee.

My cup of coffee from @2gocoffeekl before I start my walk. The latte was so smooth and strong, just the way I like it.   My friends jokingly said that I look like a New Yorker as I held my cuppa while hiking.  You know how Americans are very enthusiastic about their coffee and walk around holding their takeaway cups.

So, if you forgot your coffee before heading to the Taman Tugu Forest Trail, fret not.  @2gocoffeekl coffee food truck is waiting at the entrance.

The Tastiest Shepherd’s Pie In Singapore

The first time I ever tasted a shepherd’s pie was at my company’s Christmas dinner party held at my boss’s house in Toronto.  Marge baked 2 big casseroles of Shepherd’s Pies and the smell was heavenly when she brought them out to the table.  Both were chicken shepherd’s pies but she did something extra with one dish.  She actually crumbled some Ruffles potato chips and sprinkled them on top of the pie.   This is something out of the traditional way of eating the pies but let me tell you this – it was delicious!

Ever since my first experience, I was hooked and tried to bake them myself.  Well, the lazy bug in me finds it a lot of work to mash the potatoes, cook the fillings and etc.  After a while, I just did not bake anymore.  Not many eateries offer Shepherd’s Pie on their menu either so it has been a while since I had one.

Well if you are a big fan of this British classic dish but like me, who finds it a tad too much to bake them yourself, well fret no more.  You can order the tastiest and freshest Shepherd’s Pie online and have it delivered to your doorstep in a jiffy.  All you have to do is go to www.shepherdspie.sg, the purveyor of the best shepherd’s pie in Singapore, who has been around since 2011.   Their pies which are available in beef and chicken,  are baked with love and delivered hot right to your doorstep.   Shepherd’s Pie Delivery offers 3 different sizes of pies – Medium, Massive and Mini.

This is the Medium Shepherd’s Pie that elevates traditional pie to a whole new level of “mmm.”  This just-right portion is good for up to 4 persons.  However, it is recommended that 1 for every 2 persons if you are a die-hard shepherd’s pie fan.   I can definitely polish off this pie all by myself *wink*

Check out this mouth-watering Massive Pie.   Comes with seasoned meat (beef or chicken) that is so delicious and a top layer of mashed potato that is smooth and yummy.  This casserole gets baked in the oven until the mashed potatoes are slightly crispy on top.  This hearty dish is good for up to 4 people.

Here comes the Lil Mini Shepherd’s Pie that is made with flavorful diced chicken meat cooked in a rich, seasoned gravy.  These cute cupcake size pies are perfect for parties, events and gatherings with friends and families.

Boy, my tummy is growling by just looking at Shepherd’s Pie Delivery photos.   They have been receiving admiration for their pies which are made up of a hearty filling of meat, a creamy layer of mashed potatoes and mixed vegetables.

Best Short Wedding Dresses 2020

Over the last few seasons, it has become clear that there is a new wedding dress style in town that many non-traditional brides are embracing as their own. Short wedding dresses which are mini and midi lengths included have actually gone through quite the transformation lately and this length has finally been deemed wedding-appropriate.

There are more and more bridal designers who are wising up to the short wedding dress trend.  We have seen some truly gorgeous designs on the catwalk this season.   This is, of course, fantastic news for who want to take inspiration from the full skirts and petticoats of the 1950s, or who want a more casual gown that they can keep off the sand or grass.

So whether you are getting hitched on the beach or simply heading down to a registry office, if you are on the lookout for something a little less conventional, scroll down to see more short wedding dresses that are a perfect place to start.

This combination of v- neckline, tulle skirt and lace makes this dress perfect for the true romantics out there.

With a high-collar, long-sleeves and vintage lace detail, going for an unusual piece like this does not mean that you have to compensate on tradition.

Going for a short dress does not mean you have to compensate on style. The lace and A-line hem on this number add extra sweetness.

Therefore if you are all for unconventional styles, and are not a fan of the floor-length dresses that weighs you down, then the perfect style for you is in the form of tea-length or mini dress that allows you to transition smoothly for your after-party.  Get ready to dance the night away!

Shopping Loots from Seoul

Besides the beauty products and the Korean earrings, that I bought during my vacation in Seoul, I also bought some clothes for myself.  How can I not shop eh?  I must say that some of the clothes are pretty affordable like 10,000 Won for a dress which is about rm35.  I have seen similar ones selling at RM80 to RM100 here.

Missy too got herself a few items such as a BlackPink t-shirt which cost about RM150.  It is only a black tee featuring Black Pink’s logo.  Well, what can I say? It’s Black Pink.

She also bought (I chose) a short front-tie t-shirt with fold-up denim pants and a set of purple t-shirt and shorts which she wants to wear to her K-Pop dance class.

Gosh, how I miss shopping in Seoul!

Shopping definitely has a positive emotional effect on individuals which is why shopping is so popular.  It helps to release stress and anxiety.  Have you heard some people say that they wish retail therapy is covered by their health insurance?   Retail therapy may be able to help a person overcome anxiety or depression symptoms but it is only temporary.

Instead of trying to fill the hole of depression by going all out to shop, which only provides temporary relief, it is best to address your problem properly  Find a counselor at Betterhelp and face the problem instead of avoiding it through retail therapy.

Affordable Maternity Wedding Dresses For Comfort and Style

Planning a wedding and a baby? Congratulations! There is nothing better than a double celebration.  There is something special about a wedding which includes the youngest member of the family.  One thing that comes to mind is just how to choose a comfortable and stylish maternity wedding dress.

If you are on a hunt for a maternity wedding dress, there are a few things to consider.

Belly growth and style

Obviously, the most important aspect to focus on is the stage of your belly growth on your wedding day. However, there are no particular rules when it comes to maternity wedding dresses. It all boils down to what makes you comfortable!  It goes without saying that a corset is out of the question, as are any other super-restrictive silhouettes, structured bodices, and tight waistlines.  Choose dresses that make easy movement, climate-appropriate fabrics, and room for growth spurts. Look for A-line shapes, empire waists and light fabrics like tulle or chiffon which may skim nicely over your bump.

This long sleeve chiffon wedding dress is elegant and super flattering.  It is the perfect example of a dress which is simple and versatile, but not boring. It is an ideal dress for fall or winter gown, or even for a chilly spring morning wedding.

Dress length

A large bump will create a shortened hemline at the front of the dress.  Therefore choose an extra-long gown if you want a floor-length look.  The same rules apply for cocktail-length dresses too.   Your feet may be swollen during pregnancy so a floor-length dress is the best.

The shape of this dress is incredibly flattering for baby bumps of all stages and sizes.  It exudes a fairy-tale boho vibe.

There is something timeless and stylish about this long sleeve V-neck lace dress.

All the above stunning dresses are from Cocosbride.com, an expert in wedding dresses and bridesmaid dresses. Though its maternity wedding dress collection may be small, it is the place to head for fashion-forward designs that are highly affordable.

Hosting a wedding while pregnant is certainly a unique event.  See a style that catches your eye? Now is the time to grab it.
