my two boys and papa got infected by the hand-foot and mouth disease, luckily the boys are fine now.
it is uncommon in adults, but those with immune deficiencies are very susceptible, and unfortunately papa is one of them....he got a high fever since tuesday, then followed by sore throat and loss of appetite. on the 3rd day, some rash became evident on his hands, feet, mouth, tongue and even inside of the cheeks, papa felt so itchy and painful. there is no specific treatment for this disease, so the doctors did not issue medicine for this illness, just gave him some fever reducers to control high temperatures. felt so helpless and i looked for some chinese therapies from the internet to help him, here's what i found:
治療方：
對付皮膚皰疹：苦參、野菊花、紫草、地膚子各30g，加水3000ml，煎至2000ml，涼至35℃~38℃，泡洗手足臀部10~15分鐘。
對付口咽部皰疹：西瓜霜吹敷口腔患處，或口腔炎噴劑噴患處，每日2次。

after a few treatments, he started to feel a bit better now, i hope he will fully recover soon.
after all, i feel like putting these pictures to remind myself how important health is and wish we would all cherish what we have everyday....

if you're happy n you know it stamp your feet
what a sweet and gorgeous idea to have your baby's foot and hand prints translated into a life-size stamp.
when i first saw this, i can imagine how much fun aiden will have using it himself when he gets older, he can use it to for crafts, photo albums, gifts or cards etc....
to order, simply click into otete & anyo and they will ask you to scan and email the foot/hand image after placing your order, they ship internationally.

before n after
::before::
i think reading is an important aspect of any child's upbringing
having a bookshelf right in the room is great for the kids
as it creates a visual urging of the books will help to encourage them reading.
::after::
the wall mounted bookshelf above was made using the ribba picture ledge from ikea,
at just $149 each it is a chic budget option.
the shelf makes great book display/ library book collection in our living room
above and beyond, it also helps to keep our place neat and organized:)
summer meal
it's a HOT HOT HOT day, papa wants to have something light and refreshing
so i went to look for some ingredients to prepare a meal that helps to cool down a bit....
we started our dinner with a fresh scallops salad, dressed with olive oil, basalmic vinegar and lime juice
toss and serve with ground black pepper and tobiko
second dish- chilled eggplants with mixed japanese sesame sauce,
sesame oil, mirin sauce and chilli sauce
main dish- beef ribeye rice bowl with egg, japanese beef sauce,
mirin sauce and sprinkle of sesame and dried seaweed
once again, these are fast, easy and pantry friendly dishes,
papa was delighed with the dinner and so did aiden!
parking garage
poor aiden still got a running nose and he rested at home most of the time.....
to cheer him up, we bought a new toy for him!
it took papa a little while to put together
aiden was having a blast playing with it and he played with it non-stop for an hour
he loves the helicopter and racing the cars down the ramps
this wooden parking garage is very well made and sturdy
it's equipped with three floors of parking space, an elevator tower and a helipad
i think it's great for pretend play or for storing his toy car collections.
a child's first few years are particularly important for fostering so many of life's invaluable skills including imagination, creativity, self-expression and aptitude. i believe picking the suitable toys for a child is quite important.

toll house chocolate chip cookies
aiden has been sick, and it's way too hot to go out,
so we stayed home during the weekend....
"what to do to kill time?" papa asked.
we decided to make cookies!
here's the ingredients: butter 100g, caster sugar 50g, brown sugar 50g, egg 1, vanilla extract 1/4tsp, flour 200g, a pinch of salt, baking soda 1/2tsp, chopped hazelnuts 1/2 cup, chocolate chips 100g.
method:1. cream butter and the sugars together until smooth, gradually mix in the eggs and vanilla. 2. shift in flour, salt and baking soda, stir well. 3.stir in chopped nuts and chocolate chips. 4. place 1 tsp of the mixture on a greased baking sheet 4 cm apart from each other. 5. bake at 190C oven for 10-12mins until golden brown, let cool.
The 100g of butter can be replaced by 75g of butter and 25g of crisco shorterning for a crisper texture.
