Hiya! How is everyone? Weekend is approaching. How time flies. We had a busy morning but I can't even remember what we did lols. What a big change in the temperature 2 weeks ago. I was melting like a cheese because of the heat. Now, it is time to put on a warm jumper in the morning :) Nothing much is happening at the moment. Keep safe wherever you are. Do not forget to eat on time. Say hello/ good morning to strangers . I did this many times yesterday and they smiled back at…
Meow meow! Happy Caturday everyone! These 2 lovely kittens are Tina's siblings. They just love to hug, kiss and annoy each other lols (just like a normal siblings lols ) Tina hangs out with them from time to time. These 2 are inseparable they look alike and they are both loud, while Tina is very independent and has her own agenda lols I hope we can find a suitable home for them. Mamo is not ready yet to give them away. The potential candidates will first pass her interview…
Good evening lovely friends! Tadannnn! Here are freshly harvested tomatoes from Mamo's garden! Look how big they are and they are sweet. Yup, we eat tomatoes every day lols. (especially in the summertime ) they keep coming #blessings. We are grateful for Mamo. Even Though this year, we spend less time in the garden because we are building at home. For the coming days, we'll start making kompot, jam and pickles from different vegetables. This morning, we bought 30 kg of…
Good evening lovely friends. As I promised, I would share the jam that we made last week. In total we have 15 jars of jam! It's truly a blessing. Baking the plums in the oven is the easiest and fastest way. Then let it cool overnight. Transfer the jam in jars ( sterilised ) seal it tightly. Boil the jars in a big pan for an hour (to preserve them longer) Let it cool and store in a cool and dry place. Yup, we have plenty of jam for the winter :) This week we'll make lots of…
How are you all doing? It was a nice and productive day for everyone today. We made some kompot and another set of plum jam. It was a lot of work but it was fun. Rimbie played Christmas songs while he was helping us :) How to make Kompot Plums (stored fruits in jars ) 1. Cut them into half, removed seeds 2. Put them in jars (half, add water and sugar ) 3. Seal the jars tightly. 4. Put the jars upside down to check for leaking Feel free to watch the video:…
Yesterday, we picked some hawthorn berries on the way home. It's similar to rose hips. You can eat or make tea from them. We also saw an apple tree, they are tiny but super sweet. I like fruits when I can pick them up directly from the tree,mmmm so much flavor in it :):) Ang daming apples, walang kumukuha sa sobrang daming puno kahit saan, sayang lang talaga minsan. We love drinking tea especially in the cold months. Mamo used to have a Linden tree in her garden,enough…
How was your weekend, everyone.? We were a bit busy, I can't even remember what we did lols. This week Rimbie is going back to school (face to face) he isn't excited to go back, but I'm sure he is looking forward to seeing his new school and meeting new friends. They will start on Wednesday, (half day only) we will bring him on his first day though he doesn't like the idea lols. I would like to share one of Rimbie's artworks. He likes to draw, doodle and paint now and then.…
Howdy! How is everyone? It was an exciting day for us today. We brought Rimbie to school. They had a short program, flag ceremony and then went to their assigned room. He went home alone, had a nap in the afternoon. Things are pretty normal here, I hope it will continue like this. Another day tomorrow and a new beginning. May all our children and loved ones always be safe .We don't need much, as long as they are happy and healthy. Just dropping guys. I would like to share…
Wuz up lovely people? What did you do today? We woke up at 6am today, prepared Rimbie for school. I packed sandwich and a bottle of water for him. I'm sure he is not the only one adjusting with the new routine, he was knocked out when he came home. After we brought him to the bus station, hubby and I walked around downtown, did some groceries and bought some construction materials. We have a lot of things to do in the coming weeks..we'll survive :) Anyhow, I'm having fun…
Happy Monday everyone. I hope you had a great weekend. It's good to be back again :) A new week, a new day. Autumn is here, rainy and foggy now and then. When the weather is like this, board games are always fun to do. Maglalabasan na mga board games hahaha Yesterday, we helped Mamo make tomato salsa and put them in jars. The process is the same as making kompot. Mamo's giant tomatoes are exploding from her garden. Rimbie also enjoyed eating fresh tomatoes (sobrang tamis…
It was a lovely day, the sun showed up this morning. We did some groceries and worked at home. I feel like it's weekend again lols Sharing our dear, Bella. She always looks confused lols. Mahirap maging nanay talaga minsan, laging tuliro sa dami ng gawain at bantay bata :) Two of her babies had found a new family and they are doing great. It's only Tina that is left now. I think Mamo wants to keep her :) Autumn is here, leaves are falling and turning into golden brown.…
Mamo got up early this morning, she was busy in the kitchen. We could smell the grilled peppers from our room. She already cut all the vegetables for the pickles. Yup, we are not done yet. Stay tuned :) I shared this before, but would like to share it again :) It's Beans with rice. This was our lunch today. It''s Mamo's specialty. Freshly baked from the oven. :) How To Cook Beans With Rice: Soak the beans overnight Saute onions, garlic and mixed vegetables that you have Add…
How is everyone doing? Hope you are all doing well. Yesterday, we went to a school meeting. Instead of taking the bus, we decided to walk from home to Rimbie''s school. It was only 1 hour walk. Along the way, we picked up blueberries and apples to eat :) It felt good to have this long walk again. Everything went well, teachers are very supportive and helpful. They just started school, so it was just general information. We took a bus on the way home, it was a bit chilly.…
Good morning lovely people! It's a new week. I hope you are all doing well. We usually go for a walk in the forest on weekends. It's only a few minutes away from our house. It's good to recharge and enjoy nature. Hubby and I picked up some rosehips. I like picking and climbing fruits :) hahaha batang probinsya hahaha nakakalibang sa dami nila nde maubos ubos. We collected 4-5 kg of rosehips. Rosehips have lots of health benefits. They can be eaten raw and make jam as well…
It's been raining almost the whole day. We got up early and prepared Rimbie for school. For lunch, I cooked lentil soup and for supper we decided to order pizza and had them delivered at home. When it's a bit chilly and rainy like this, it's nice to stay in bed with the blanket and drink hot tea lols. Rimbie fell asleep before 1900. He was tired from school. Not much today, sharing some photos from yesterday's walk. We skipped collecting rosehips, we just enjoyed our walk…
Good morning everyone! A foggy morning here. I woke up Rimbie for school. He got up right away and showered. I used to prepare his clothes, but now he wants to choose his own clothing. He said he has his own style and fashion lols. They grow up so fast indeed. Oh boy. When I was little and up to now I got no sense of fashion as long as I have a dress to wear lols Just dropping guys, be back soon to reply and visit your posts. Sharing an edited Thatched house in Cotswolds.…
We had a nice afternoon walk, even though it was a bit chilly and windy. As usual, hubby and I talked about the same story over and over again lols. I can't even remember now what it was all about lols. Tomorrow is a new day. The sun will shine again. Empty your mind and free your heart and soul. Let go of grudges, let go of negative thoughts. Replace them with happy and good vibes. #notetoself Btw, what movies/series did you watch lately? Oh boy, oh boy, Squid game is good…
