#SpecialK30 My Perfect Life

28 April 2013 by Eileen

This is my entry for the BritMums/Special K – How I’ve Changed Linky Challenge

Thirty years ago, I was just a toddler playing with Barbie dolls. I always dreamed of being a Cinderella, finding a prince to marry and happily ever after. I always set myself a goal that I must find a boyfriend and be married by the age of 25. Kids would then follow and I would then be a housewife like my mum to look after my children and raise them well. Soon, I passed my adolescence and studied nursing.  After working for a year and a half, I came to UK to work in Charing Cross Hospital. I came to UK alone and hoped to find new friendship. I think my fairy godmother answered my call.

My Perfect Life

I met my lovely husband Mr C.  He is everything I want and is the perfect gentlemen. We are happily married for 6 years with two beautiful children.  Best of all, I am a SAHM and a blogger. I can’t ask for more. I love my life!

#SpecialK30 My Perfect Life

What do we think of Special K? I am not a huge fan of cereals as they can be full of sugar. I was delighted to find that Special K is not too sweet and suits my tastes. I would say that Special K is not visually appealing but they always say never judge a book by its cover. The new Special K recipe contains three grains — rice, wheat and barley (previously there were two) — and is made with wholegrain, for a source of fibre as well as 8 vitamins and minerals. It gives health-conscious, weight-watching women  a tastier breakfast.  Try adding fresh strawberries and bananas to make it even more scrumptious. I rate this 4 stars of 5. Fantastic!

Disclosure: We received a box of Special K to do this review and enter the competition hosted by Britmums and Kellogg’s.

Hello!

Welcome to ET Speaks From Home!

Hi, I’m Eileen — a mum of two teenagers, aged 18 and 17, and a passionate lifestyle blogger sharing snippets of family life, creativity, and culture since May 2012. My daughter lives with visual impairment, and our journey together has shaped much of the heart behind this blog.

What started as a small space to document family memories has grown into a vibrant corner of the internet where I share my love for cooking, crafting, DIY projects, Chinese culture, parenting, and honest product and YouTube reviews. Whether I’m creating festive crafts, exploring Chinese traditions, or trying out new recipes, I hope to inspire others through everyday moments from home.

Over the years, ET Speaks From Home has been recognised by several parenting and blogging communities, including:

* Top 20 UK Parent Blogs (2020)

* Tots100 Top 20 Vloggers (2016)
* Shortlisted for the BritMums Brilliance in Blogging Awards (BiBs), Video Category (2014)
