Mum, have a rest!

I have cramps...


Me:'Mummy has got tummy ache'

My daughter:'Why?'

Me:'Because mummy is a lady so I have got tummy ache once a month.'

My daughter:'Are you ok, Mummy?'

Me:'Yes, s,soon is b,b,better(achy...my tummy is achy!)'

My daughter:'Have a rest, mum!'


Me:'(What)?'


My daughter:'Have a rest. And then you will be better!'


I did not expect that she said like that. She is just 3yrs old. I was surprised by her and then felt thanks to her...


Me:'Thank you. Yes, mummy will be better soon!'


Children grow up quickly than mums expect.

I cannot wait for her that one day she says:'Have a rest Mum. I will do something (e.g. do dishes, make a cup of tea) for you.'

Quite good work, my son!

Sometimes I am amazed by him stretching his imagination.

My First Sowing!

I decided to grow herbs!

Because they are useful - I will be able to make herb oil, herb dishes, and enjoy their scents.

Also I will be able to look after them with my kids*^^*

This time I sowed sees of rosemary, lavender and thyme. Although it was simple work, I and my kids enjoyed doing.

I have never succeeded to grow any plants in my life, so I just hope:

Please grow up!!

List on growing herbs (Amazon)

There are a lot of books on herbs. I will try some when my seeds bud out.

If you know a recommendation, please let me know!

Burt's Bees Baby Bee Skin Creme

I bought this for my son having serious eczema.

His GP gave some creams for him, but they made his skin red!!

So I choose this Burt's Bees cream containing natural and safety ingredients.

The texture is white colour and creamy. The smell is absolutely


Milk~!!


My son, my daughter and I the all fell in love with the milk scent!!

My son used this cream everyday for a couple of months.

It never made his skin red.

I think this is a very-friendly-to-skin cream.

Whether this cream works or not depends on my son's condition.
Sometimes he could not stop scratching, I put the cream on him though.

But this cream is the best one among other which I have tried on him.

I will try different cream for my son.

If I cannot, I will be back to this cream!

Burt's Bees Honey Lip Balm

I wanted to try a Burt's Bees Lip Balm since I had known that it had a good reputation.

I was so excited when I got it!

My lips were dry and rough for 365days and I could never go out without a lip cream.

Firstly, I was surprised by the scent of honey: Ugh! strong!!

Because I never used a lip cream with scent, it was quite shocking experience.

The texture was like wax(of course, it is made of beeswax!!). It worked well when I put it on my lips. But it did not last so long.

I have been using it for a couple of months and my lips are still dry and rough(T_T).

The lip balm is not bad. I quite like the texture comfortable touch!

If you do not bother a lip cream with scent and think about a lip cream as just for protecting your lips from dryness, it maybe suitable for you.

Although I am not satisfied with the lip balm, Burt's Bees is still my favourite brand!

Hello~~~

My son's school was closed due to the weather today.



We built snowmen in the garden.


How about your place?

Wahey!

Wahey!

Very co-----ld day, isn't it?

It has been snowing in my town&very very cold. Today is the coldest day in this year.

Despite me feeling the cold, my children are the same as usual.


Well, this is about this evening.


When we finished tea, my son switched the telly on.

Then he shouted,

'Wahey!'


'What?' I asked him.


'Look! Max & Ruby does 3 stories today!' He said excitedly.


My children are crazy about watching Max&Ruby and it has been televised only 1 story till yesterday.


Seeing the two happily watching Max & Ruby was a so heartwarming scene.


Although the outside is cold, my house is warm^^

My Cooking: Tuna & Vegetable Dish

Tuna & Vegetable Dish with Oriental Sauce

I really wanted to have tuna today.

But I could not choose how.

Then I opened the fridge.

...some vegetables in there...oh, I found spring onions...

Tuna + vegetables...ok, I was going to fry them.

Then I cut the tuna and the vegetables which were in the fridge.

(From left)
Tuna, spring onion, red pepper, mushroom, potato

I fried together and then add soy sauce and dried small sardines.

It took about 15minutes to cook.

Then....

Tada---!

Rice, sliced melons, corns, asparagus, the tuna & vegetable dish

Tuna is very healthy containing much Fe.

My children loved this dish and of course me, too!
