What could be fresher than a bottle of water after hours in the water? Ironic, even though you’ve been in the water you can’t drink it.lol. So here’s the little boy with his bottle after tiring himself…swimming a bit, following daddy as he swims, searching for shells and jumping up and down! In those few hours, he was burned brown…well, freshly baked by the sun!

The perfect theme to showcase my 3 kids!
-
I’ve many times wrote that having 3 kids is a Herculean task! Well, I’d gladly take that, along with the quarrels and misunderstandings come kisses, hugs and laughter so in everyday lingo, it’s just quits! All worth it!
In this photo, my youngest was a bit unhappy because he wanted to sit in the middle but wasn’t given the chance, just another issue among them, giving and letting…or not!

If you haven’t been to my food blog yet, this is the right time for me to plug it. 
KitchenMaus started out as a blog for my food photos since I enjoy taking photos of food as much as that of kids. I ended up posting also reviews of food and places the kids and I enjoy and some simple dishes I cook at home.
Pasta is one of those simple dishes. There are too many kinds to list down so here’s just two, spaghetti no.5 and spirale. A recipe for basil and tomato pasta is here.

Seeing chocolate bunnies and eggs on store shelves whenever I do my buying-list makes me feel foreign or alienated. We don’t celebrate Easter because of the tradition behind it. Well, supposedly it is celebrated in relation to Jesus Christ’s resurrection right? Tradition and practice however points to the pagan practice of spring worship, that of an Anglo-Saxon goddess, Estre from whom ‘easter’ was derived. Coincidentally, the Passover observed by then believers of God is close to the date of the spring equinox…reason why there is only one mention of easter in the Bible found in Acts 12:4 of the King James Version…there seems to be an error in translation.
I could go and on as I always have…but google would show what I mean…well, bunnies and eggs both; symbol of fertility are used in relation to the worship of the spring goddess…

Daily Bread

‘Man must live, not on bread alone…’

Ever heard of the sarcastic quote; “You are what you eat.” (Originally thought to be from Ludwig Andreas Feuerbach, “Der Mensch ist, was er isst,” simply translated “man is what he eats.” ) “Therefore, if you eat nothing, you are nothing!”
Symbolically, we would starve spiritually if we do not take in this food…Bible knowledge. It is very important to take it into our daily routine. Have you eaten your bread today?

I used to update my other blog ViennaDaily regularly…now that I have been missing out on posts, should I change it’s title to Vienna Weekly?

Cuddly

Who else is cuddlier than Winnie the pooh? Ah……for me, that would be babies!
First photo was taken when my elder son was barely 2 years old. He loves cuddling stuffed toys and everyone around him. That sweetness of course rubbed on the little boy (2nd photo) as he is the same, not just cuddly but kissy too! (He’d also sing an I love you song in 7 languages.)
The last photo is probably my favorite of theirs. This is one of those earlier moments when they don’t have the word “quarrel” in their vocabulary yet. The bigger brother would be very helpful when it comes to the needs of the little one. He’d bring me diapers when there’s a need to change. He’d fetch the bottle and give it to the little one when he cries (on instances that I might be in the toilet). He’d play with the little one and make him laugh by making faces, playing peek-a-boo and tickling.
It’s sad sometimes to think that change is inevitable and even kids ain’t spared. I know that it’s part of growing up and building bonds require those quarrels to make them stronger…they would anyway forget whatever caused the other to cry in seconds so it ain’t a big deal. It’s true what the bible says, “foolishness is tied up with the heart of a boy” (Proverbs 22:15) however, to be childlike is just as wise…forget strife and live on, put a smile and be happy…enjoy the freedom but never use it as an excuse for badness. (Matthew 18:3, 4 and 1 Peter 2:16)
Happy cuddling!
