The Wonders Of Fried Rice

If you are a busy mom like me, 5 kids (my kids plus my nephew), no house help (but sister is here to help me), more than 10 blogs and a husband to please, more likely than not, you almost have no time to cook… and yeah sometimes I do not have time to cook and we rely on cookies, pandesal or even noodles for breakfast. I know it’s not good for the kids health so I always look for ways to shorten my cooking time without sacrificing the food quality. Fried rice is the answer to busy moms like me.

It’s a complete meal..rice, veggies, meat, shrimp, chicken and egg. And if you want, you can even add more veggies and the kids won’t even notice.

What I did was cooked 2 kaldero of rice, so that’s more than 10 cups of rice. I added shrimp, chicken, ham, carrots and celery and fried rice seasoning that I bought from SM Hypermarket. I prepared it last Saturday and placed it in a microwavable plastic wares. Every night, I took a container out so that it will defrost. The next morning, I cook the egg then pour the fried rice and heat it. It really saves me a lot of time, not to mention that I am more confident giving it to my kids.

And to add more healthy factor on their fried rice, we add some malunggay powder on it. So far, the kids are loving it.

The fried rice photo is not my fried rice but from one of our trips at Man Han.

Throw Away the GTA

My kids are not allowed to use the computer as much as possible.. we only allow them for about an hour once a week and sometimes once a month.. aside from the fact that if I allow them to use it, they would mess my work place, I just do no not like the idea of them being exposed to computer at this early age. Yes, this age is all about computers but I still do believe that my kids can have a normal life without being exposed to computer at an early age. There is always the right time for everything.. after all they already have their computer subject in their school.. there is no sense being techy if your kids are unhealthy.

So for Mommy Moments this week where in the theme is techy tips, I only have one.. never ever leave your child alone in the PC.. and as much as possible do not expose them to it.. The right age, I think is 7 years old. My first born is now allowed to have his FB account given the fact that I monitor his friend and all the people he interact with.. OK wait, I said I only have one techy tip.. that’s another one.. always monitor your child’s internet actions..

During the Parentin.TV 2nd anniversary, one of the topics discussed was Internet Addiction and it’s quite alarming how a child can learn a lot on the internet. And because of that I am getting more careful with the kids and the internet.. even on gadgets.. they no longer play with an Ipod or any gaming console and if ever I will buy an Iphone, I will have it an iphone 3g cases that the kids can’t open.. well except for playing on PS3 from time to time.. but yeah my tip is still the same.. never ever leave yuor kids unattended..

And oh, please do throw away ny of your GTA (Gran Theft Auto) games.. it’s the most disturbing game I ever heard.

JOHNSON’s My Kid’s Growing Up So Fast Contest

Her name is actually older than she is.. we have been saving it since 2005. Sofia Ananta.. It’s a Russian- Indian name.. Sofia which means wisdom, Ananta which means endless…

After giving birth to baby boy in 2003, we have been hoping for a baby girl but only after 2 more boys that our wish has been granted. To say that she is the princess is an understatement. She is the center of our attention, the only girl in the family… the one we waited for so long. When I first learned about her gender, I was ecstatic, we were all ecstatic, from my first born down to the third and so are my siblings, specially my mom. My husband of course was smiling ears to ears.

When we had her, every one wants to cuddle, hug and kiss.. And because she is very special to us, we only trusted one brand for her skin.. Johnson’s Baby Milk Bath. Now that she’s a toddler, she still use the same product. She’s growing more and more right before our eyes!

That’s her a few hours after I gave birth to her.. still in the nursery, getting ready to meet mommy for the first time 🙂

Here, she’s ready for a dip… growing really fast. Before, even her toes are covered, here, she does not even care that her big tummy is exposed and she’s liking it!

When she turns one, we were all surprised how big she is and the antics that she can do.. she can stand by herself and speak a lot of words. She even know how to kiss with a smacking sound and really knows how to appreciate things.

This was early this year and look how she is starting to learn how to pose for the camera..and she is very meticulous with her clothes.. she even go with us when we shop.

And this is her most recent photo.. she knows how to pose like a real mowdel! She’s really growing up so fast, it seems like just yesterday when we brought her home and now she’s a very big girl already.. doing things that really amazed us and make us very proud.

This is one of her growing up so fast moment.. she knows how to brush her teeth already! not only that, she really knows how to gargle! I can’t imagine what other things she can a few more months from now.. I bet she’ll be asking for the car keys or using my pc on her own..

She is changing before my eyes but his/her skin is still like a baby’s. We still need the gentle care of JOHNSON’s Baby Milk Bath, with Vitamins A&E and 100% more milk proteins to nourish developing skin.

And just when I thought I had it all with her antics, I caught her tinkering my gadget!

She really is growing up so fast!
