Childrens Rooms, Moms worst nightmare no more!

Childrens Rooms, Moms worst nightmare no more!

I think most moms can agree with me when we talk about our children and the state of their rooms at the end of the day. I could compare it to a bomb going off.Toys everywhere, books strewn on the floor, clothes taken out of wardrobes, after many games of dress up. Finger prints on walls and hand marks on windows.Some would say it is just easier to close the door then get your children to tidy up after themselves, however by following some of our handy tips, your child's bedroom will be fit for a king.. or a little princess :-)

I love vertical blinds.  They make me think that Frank Sinatra or Dean Martin would have had them, so they must be cool.

Cut your electric bill in 60 sec.

Change the direction of your fan and make your house cooler.

Cut your electric bill in 60 sec.

Spring is here and along with changing the batteries on your smoke detectors, you need to take another 60 seconds to make your cooling bill smaller and your home more pleasant.  But like all the other cuts in spending, there is a bit of a debate...

Daylight Savings Time

Daylight Savings Time

Daylight Saving Time (or summertime as it is called in many countries) is a way of getting more light out of the day by advancing clocks by one hour during the summer. During Daylight Saving Time, the sun appears to rise one hour later in the morning, when people are usually asleep anyway, and sets one hour later in the evening, seeming to stretch the day longer.

Filipino Bar Be Cue Chicken

As you walk through the tiny streets of almost any city in the Philippines (not downtown Manila), you will find little bar be cue stands run by the residents. Typically it is a small bar be cue pit with a glowing flame that gets fanned to high heat once you place your order. One of the favorites is chicken.. and here is how we make it.

Filipino Spring Rolls (aka Lumpia)

Posted in Food

Filipino Spring Rolls (aka Lumpia)

Spring rolls is an umbrella term used in Western culture to describe disparate varieties of filled, rolled appetizers. Every Asian country has their own version of a spring roll. You are probably familiar with Chinese egg rolls or Vietnamese Spring rolls - some are wrapped fresh, some are steamed and some are wrapped and fried. You may have never tried our version.... this is your chance :)

 

(One caution - make a lot if you can.  They don't last long at parties)
