I hope you are well and enjoying the warmer weather and fun summertime with your family!

For some of you, the school may be off for your kids, and you are spending time chilling with them or running after them. But some of you may still be pushing through with your curriculum during these warmer days.

Whatever the case, I am sure you are having lots of fun spending time with your family.

Recently, I had to homeschool my child again due to the pandemic. It was a lot easier this time as I am more used to short-term homeschooling. And I also adopted a more relaxed homeschooling attitude.

I do not try to sit down for long blocks of time with my child to do worksheets and learning. I also split up his learning schedule into shorter blocks of time, which was much easier for him.

Things I Have Been Trying Out As Part Of My New Healthy Lifestyle

I have also been trying out new coloring pencils and pens on my coloring pages. I am a stationery addict who cannot stop purchasing beautiful pens, colored pencils, notebooks, etc.

But I have been trying very hard to curb myself by just browsing on Amazon and then adding stuff to my save for later list rather than my shopping cart.

This has worked very well for me in dealing with my online shopping addiction, as I often get so busy later on that I will forget about my impulse additions to my save for later list.

I have also been experimenting more lately with fun recipes, and I have discovered these awesome sites and videos, which make cooking seem so fun and easy:

Tasty site; and
Youtube Channel, Nino’s Home.

I have tested out quite a few of their recipes, and I love them!

I do not follow recipes exactly as I will use whatever I have in my pantry to substitute for the ingredients I lack.

Having said that, I love to hoard essentials and more in my pantry, and very often, I have the ingredients called for in the recipes.

One ingredient that I decided to cut back on in my bakes is butter because, generally, I’m not particularly eager to eat very dense and heavy bakes. I prefer lighter food and desserts in general.

I don’t have a sweet tooth, so I prefer baking bread. I cannot live without bread and carbs, and rather than push these yummies out of my diet and lifestyle and make myself feel miserable; I have decided to live with it and moderate my intake of bread and carbs.

Also, too many carbs make me bloat and sleepy, so I limit it to stay more alert and productive throughout the day.

I should remind myself to take pictures of my bakes for you in the future! I am not the sort who actively takes pictures of my cooking creations as I am an extremely lazy cook, and often my creations are pretty ugly, haha. As long as they taste good, I am happy!

Anyway, I have waffled on too much! Let’s get back to pretty printables!
