Le Salon du Chocolat at Porte de Versailles

We visited Le Salon du Chocolat on its first day. We arrived around 10:30 am as i should enroll Bibingclara to the two different workshops they're offering for kids. It was fun and tiring at the same time coz we had walked almost all the day to see each and everything.

A call for Halloween Party

Our 6th year Halloween Party is near kaya naman ngayon palang ay nag-iisip na ako kung ano ang aking mga lulutuin at sino ang mga iimbitahin. As usual, kami-kami pa rin hahaha  minsan, ( ay palagi pala ) pag nag-ta-type ako dito sa blog para akong lukaret kasi lagi ako me kahalong tawa na "hahahaha" o di kaya "hehehehehe" parang itong model ko sabi ko wag mag-iismile! nung pinipicturan ko sabi ko seryoso at dapat nakakakatakot ang hitsura :)

take one - nag effort sya

take two - gusto nya me kandila at me sindi pa talaga ( sabi ko anak mag-ingat tayo sa "incendie" ) sya pa talaga ang pumili ng props. kita pa rin na medyo me ngiti pa rin sa mukha

break- pinahawak ng mangkukulam ( binili ko sa divisoria ) at sapot effect

bwaaa
At yan ang kinalabasan ng kanyang pictorial ( with lights-on. the two last photo was taken using iphone5 ). Ito ang pinaskil ko sa facebook para sa aming halloween invitation. Ano attend ka? wag kalimutan dapat mag-suot ng violet dahil iyan ang motif namin ngayon taon. (",)

The fairy

Meet the fairy, ang aming prinsesang mahilig mag-disguise buti nalang meron syang ninang na talagang mega regalo ng kanyang pang fairy tale costume. Just like the dress which Bibingclara was wearing on the photo she got it as a gift when she turned 4 last year. And good thing because this is reversible so kapag binaligtad mo ito si Pirate girl naman ang kanyang deguissement.

a pink princess dress .. i just only buy the wings as accesories to become look like a fairy

the pirate girl -- the same i just only buy the telescope as accessories to become look like a real pirate

the latest gift of her ninang when Bibingclara's turned 5 last july, the real fairy costume party ( shirt, magic wand and wings )

Last saturday, Bibingclara had attended a custome birthday party of her classmate and she wore those beautiful fairy set, i just put her on butterfly printed shirt and white satin slacks with. fairying-fairy ang dating! Thanks to Ninang for those wonderful custome party talagang gamit na gamit sa mga events ng aking unica hija. For those who like and searching best costume party for kids just check out their site, Travis.

My 1st post for 2013

Hooray! Nakapag-post din ako for the very first time for 2013. Of course, di ko palalampasin ang month ng January na wala man lang update sa aming family-lovah life :). Pano naman naging busying-busy sa lahat ng bagay bago mag-goodbye sa nakaraang taon. Pagkatapos, sinundan pa ng pagkakasakit ng aking mahal na anak na sa ngayoy, nakapasok na sa eskwelahan sapagkat siya ay back into form na. Imagine, halos isang linggong nilalagnat. Nagkatrangkaso si Bibingclara. She got flu o tinatawag na "grippe" sa pranses. Anyway, anyway tapos na ang virus kaya naman we are back to normal. Before i end, i would like to share some photos sa mga kaganapan ng aming pagsalubong sa 2013. Eto ang mga naging kaganapan ng buwan ng Enero :)

after our holiday on ice, souvenir na photo ni Bibingclara with the trainor of course nakadisplay yan sa room nya wala nga lang frame diko pa nabibilhan ( the snow ball with bear, bought in Monoprix kaisa-isa kong regalo nung pasko ke Bibingclara binuksan nya yan dun sa ski para merong thrill me regalo sya somehow )

welcome 2013 ( lighted candle yan, hindi ko sinindihan iuwi ko yan sa pinas madalas dun ang brown-out hehe)

three kings - galette des rois --- mauulit ito hanggang miyerkules masarap na miryenda 

naka-experience ulet kame ng big snow after long years kuha yan sa balcony nung first morning na non-stop ang pag-snow :) hindi lang mga bata ang excited pati ang mga young at heart of course

nakagawa din ako ng fondant chocolate youpiii habang ang mag-ama ay busying-busy sa paggawa ng snowman sa balcony :)

wedding anniversary na aming ipinagdiwang kinabukasan ( ohh la la sept ans, time flies so fast )

Cheers! ang mga party people nagpa-picture ke bonhomme de neige!

eto ang naging eksena ng batang me sakit natengga sa bahay. pati ang aming pusang si Mia walang appetite! hindi kumakain tulog ng tulog nag-re reduce siguro hahaha
Pagkatapos ng snow --- eto isang week na puro ulan, nakaka--T-mad! specially kapag kailangan kong mag shopping ng aming food para punuin ang ref. Courage! courage! i must go now bago pa man lumakas ang ulan. Brrr.. bye folks (",)

Lemon curd, Christmas calendar, Christmas tree and Xmas deco

Talaga namang Christmas is coming to town! Imagine december na ang bilis talaga ng panahon. Ito ang mga naging kaganapan kahapon 1st day of december ;)

i bought a kilo of lemon ( mura lang ) sabi ko i will use it kapag ako ay magti-tea pero na-end sa pag-gawa ng lemon curd ( créme de citron ) sa dame ba naman ( 8 pcs ) wala lang napag-tripan para sa aking future baking projects nag ke-crave din kasi ako sa lemon tart ohhh tartttttt note: ewan ko ba bakit me asin dyan na nakasama sa ingredients ( sa photo ) hahaha nagkamali lang ako ng dampot

dyaran isang itatabi sa frigo at isang kakainin direcho with a spoon of course ( bawal daliriin o kamayin hihi )

 ang anak kong sinimulan atakihin ang calendrier de l'Avent oh my gosh puro chocolate pala ito first time lng namen gawin ito pano kung everyday eh chocolate ang laman ang ibig sabihin araw-araw kakain ng tsokolate si maldita hanggang 25 ng december? halerrr good commercial concept ha

courtesy of my friend Cléo (",) kinukulit ako ni Bibingclara na bilhan sya ng barbie o di kaya princess christmas calendar pero ayoko, ayokoooo negative!
My little girl was very itchy setting up our christmas tree, kaya naman nagmadali ang tatay na bumili ng christmas tree sa flower shop cost : 25,90 euros

 namili ako sa franprix kung saan nagta-trabaho ang aking filipina friend dyaran aking nai-spotan same height but not same price toink!!!! mas mura dito ang "sapin" ( sa bawat sulok makikita mo ito hindi lang sa entrance kung saan kukuha ng basket )

price at franprix - 15,50 euros maraming bumili nito nakita ko halos mga nanay na kasama ang mga chikiting talagang pinicturan ko ang presyo para me ibedensya ;)
I told to Claudebiko di na kailangan bumili ng christmas tree like last year dahil we wont be here for christmas but i realized we should have one for the sake of little one ;)

 hohoho i participated ( just a bit ) decorating for christmas

 the setting up of christmas tree was assigned to mag-ama

pede daw palang gawing hikaw yung boule de sapin ;)
Christmas na sa aming bahay. Lights were also lighted up. Regalo nalang ang kulang. How about your christmas tree setting up? make sure to have fun with kids. Good luck!
