Book Review: Mists Of The Serengeti

It’s all a thick mist the last time I did a book review. I often load my Kindle app with new releases though, but nothing spectacular that would warrant me time to write what I thought until this.

This is my first Leylah Attar read. I won’t say I regretted I didn’t read earlier her book, The Black Swan. It has been sitting right inside my tab’s drive since forever. Maybe if I’ve read it early on, I could have been a hundred and more pages richer. But I think it’s not too late, I’ll certainly get back to it after this read.

Back-To-School Breakfast Recipe: Jolly Grilled Malasugue in Creamy Mushroom Gravy

Jolly Grilled Malasugue with Creamy Mushroom Gravy

Hello Mommies!

School has officially started and like it or not we’re back to our usual crazy morning grind. If you think school kids are the only ones stressed with school stuff, well, think again. Mommies are too, especially mommies who run the kitchen day in and day out – and yeah, that would be me!

Running a household of five with no extra paid help is as stressful as the word itself. Hence, as much as possible I always put to a bare minimum any chore requirement there is around the house, especially when it comes to kitchen concerns.

Breakfast is one of the most important meals our kids should have. They need the most energy and nutrition from their meal to keep them active and have that undisturbed concentration at school.  I always encourage them to eat heavy breakfast. So much that most of time they come home with a nice savings as they skip buying something for recess and eat straight to lunch.

We caught up with Tobi and his family in their lovely home. Over coffee, the young dad shared how he manages his time between being a dad, husband, and a businessman.
