Foodie - Healthy Pasta Salad

Since my mom is on a strict diet, to show her my support I've also been on her diet. I use to take at least 5 to 10 eggs a week. It's too much I know. So I've cut down my egg yolk diet to 2 to 3 yolks a week. I still take my veggie and fruit diet on weekdays but I've cut down on carbs and top up my oats intake. Both sides of my family have history of cardiovascular disease so I can't really take things lightly now. Stumble upon Eating Well site that have some interesting Pasta Salad recipe. I'll try making it next week and the best part is I can make the salad in advance and leave it in the fridge!

DIY - Bear's Day

 Today's my hubby Bear's birthday. I've been so caught up with the past two weeks event, I actually forgotten our 9th year anniversary. It so happen to fall on the day right after my mom's surgery and I didn't had any sleep overnighting at the hospital. Thankfully I've got a very understanding husband who in return reminded and surprised me on that day. Although I sort of abandon him for the past 2 weeks, he did pop by at my mom's and gave me the very much needed hugs and kisses. Nine years... It's definitely a milestone for us. I pray for what I always pray for and may he have a blessed Birthday with many more returns. I'm off to do a little DIY heart cake topper to bring to our dinner and also pick out my outfit for tonight. I'm actually quite exhausted and have not really rested well... So I think I'll take it easy today then tomorrow, finally needle, threads and orders! Truly bless. DIY ideas below:

 Super simple cake topper by beyondbeyond which I adore! I might make this today!

 So chic and glam cake topper from Sugar & Cloth.

 I need to learn how to crochet! These cake topper from cherry time are too cute!

And love these wooden rustic cute cut outs from 100 layer cake.

Being thankful...

I'm back! Here's a little update from me. I've been away for 2 weeks, literally away from my homie, my mac,my sewing machine and my bear. I was away taking care of my mom who had a heart surgery and I had to be therefor her during her recovery period. As you can see from the above image, the only work I did was colouring my buttons. But I did get to cook A LOT for my mom, dad and sis and I really enjoyed it. Plus I got to hang out with my mom! Now I'm back at my homie, sitting in front of my mac, getting back to my routines, work and feeling thankful.
Thankful that God blessed us with time. Very blessed indeed to have this.

Thank you Lord for all your wonderful blessings. My mummy is recovering because of your healing power and grace. May we have many more birthdays and mother days to come. Amen.
