Few weeks ago, I posted about my kids Christmas party in school at my parenting blog . The homeroom Mom really went all the way in preparing for the party. Mrs. Arnold brought in foods that everyone have enjoyed the party. I wish I can cook as good as Italian Moms lol. I love making Filipino food but I also like eating Italian food, I just can't make it as good as Italians do.
She prepared vegetable salad, rigatoni with meatballs, cookies for dessert and fruit punch for drinks. She even bought a cookie cake for the birthday celebrant. I will miss this kind of bonding and camaraderie among the kids and parents when they go separate ways in high school.
On another note, now that the freezing temperature is settling in, hubby and I are really trying to eat healthy and also workout as often as we could. I would say that by trying to live a healthy lifestyle, is really rewarding. It's a lot of hard work to stay healthy but it's really beneficial not only for us but for our children as well. My husband used to always feel tired but ever since he went back from working out regularly, he'd become stronger and healthier and it also made him happier. It's the same way for me as well, I used to be grumpy and always feel weak but now I am more active and my migraine have also lessen which is great because migraine is terrible.
Anyways, aside from eating healthy, we also try to use natural products for treating health conditions. I used to take sleep aid pills since I find it really hard to fall asleep but now I drink slumber tea before going to bed and it works like magic. Hubby also found a concoction that works really well for bloating issues and it also works so well with detoxing our bodies.
Time for confession, I will let you know one secret about me. When I was in my 20's, I used to collect mugs but I had to leave it when I migrated here in the US. I still collect mugs occasionally especially when we travel but not as much. I don't have a favorite mug but I use different ones depending on what I am drinking.
Winter always brings sickness but we are prepared. I make ginger tea at home and we drink it often, it really helps us not get cold. Ginger tea with honey and lemon is a drink that helps us away from flu. I believe in the saying that prevention is better than cure.
