If there is one thing blogging has brought me, that is the continuous desire to make a better me. You know being exposed to beauty products, wellness products and beautiful things, I cannot help but strive hard to live more and live younger, inside and out. And of course the blogging money helped a lot (*wink *wink).. As the year starts, I decided to hold a giveaway as a thank you note for my readers.. I want you to experience the same transformation I had (if not all, most of it). I team with some of the products I love to give you this New Year, New You giveaway! Let’s live more and be younger inside and out 🙂

There will be 3 winners for this giveaway, each one will receive a beauty and wellness product perfect to make a New You this New year!

Still on their jammies, we went to McDo for breakfast then off to Valenzuela to visit their grandmother (yes still on their jammies). We’re supposed to have breakfast at Shell stop over in NLEX.. wala lang, trip trip lang, kaso tinanghali ng gising.. so we end up at McDonald’s. And since we missed last week’s party (BIL and FIL birthday).. we stayed a while and had lunch at my bil’s place.

And when I thought I would fail on my second day.. I remembered I still have a few pre cooked pork on fridge.. and for the dinner, we had Pork Adobo. Turns out so well.. tried a different way of cooking it. You can find my Chewy Pork Adobo Recipe here.

May kwento pala with Sati..

Since we had no plans on staying long at Mil’s place, I did not bother bringing a few clothes for the kids.. Sati’s diaper leaked on her jammies.. changed her diaper (thank goodness for sari sari stores!) and found an extra shirt inside the car.. turned her pajama tops to skirt.. and voila! my sweet little princess on skirt:

Her kuyas teased her so much.. it’s very rare to see her on skirt! 🙂

It’s really exciting to try out new dishes, pero if you are the cook, that can be quite tasking. This year, I am challenging myself to prepare  with 30 different dishes that I will serve to my family. And the challenge starts yesterday:

We had Pork Binagoongan and Sinigang na Bangus (recipes will be posted at Dishes by Pehpot, hopefully within the week). I don’t do this often, parining dishes, but he requested for this. I think we had too much rice we can handle yesterday. The saltiness of pork binagoongan compliments the sourness of sinigang na bangus very well. A perfect combination!

And that dish inspired me to do the laundry after lunch.. hehe talk about burning the calories!

We’ll be using the 30dmenu as category for this challenge 🙂
