Cuisine & Culture the Chinese Family Way
It might be daunting to plan a wedding. There are several plans to create and choices to be made regarding numerous details. Deciding what to do when can be difficult. Many couples experience some anxiety as a result of the planning becoming too much. Are there any crucial details I’m overlooking before the celebrations or on the big day? Remember that today’s attention is on you. Enjoy your big day to the fullest. It’s clear that you made adequate investment.
We have a lot to be thankful for in our lives. Our mothers are one of those things. From the time we were born to the time we graduated from uni to getting our first new home, our moms have always been there for us as our well-wishers and cheerleaders.
The weather is getting colder, but we can’t always count on having snow – no matter how much you want to build a snowman!
Even without the flurries, however, there’s no reason you can’t have your own beautiful winter wonderland to escape to.

This Easter, Choc Nibbles set us a challenge to use a variety of Choc Nibbles flavours by either baking them, eating them or decorating with them. I decided to create an Easter Garden. I filled the flower pots with a mixture of different flavoured yummy delicious Choc Nibbles.

Since becoming a mother, I feel thrilled to celebrate this day together with my mother too. The cynics will say it is too commercialised but I do think that we, as mothers, should have a proper day to appreciate what we do for our children!

Three years ago, we had a landscape gardener design our front and back garden which included rows of lavender. The small patch of grass we had in our front garden was filled with yellow, golden stones. This year, the lavender has really bloomed and fills the front garden with a nice sweet smell. I’m really pleased with it this year – they’re absolutely gorgeous!
