An Epic DIY Painting on T-Shirts We Enjoyed!

written by Stef

Kea and I have not tried painting on T-shirts, ever. But this day had to come when we dared go for it. We have plain white and colored T-shirts I ordered and got on sale online. Kea was suppose to use them for a DIY iron on project, but it did not push through. We didn’t have a printer with pigment dye to achieve great results.

Painting on T-Shirts

This t-shirt painting activity is not new anymore. Many artists have already done this, but she haven’t. I have not, and I did not have the confidence too. My daughter inspired me to try it with her. Because of her encouragement, I did found an image in Pinterest that I could use as reference. A simple design that would be perfect for my younger daughter.

Growing Succulent Plants: A New Hobby I Found

written by Stef

Succulent plants called my attention one time I was outside for an errand. A plant vendor near the church has lined up beautiful ones and sold them at an affordable price. I have friends that are into collecting succulent plants and I was informed that these plants doesn’t really need much watering. I know for a fact that unlike my Mom, I was not gifted with what they call a “green thumb”. Having that same thought, I told myself that Succulents may be the best for me then.

Sedum Jelly Bean

To maintain its color, Jelly bean plants needs a sunny spot. But, it can be placed with other succulents as an indoor plant too.

Crassula Ovata (Jade)

The other different names by which Crassula Ovata is called are Chinese Jade, Jade Tree, Old Money Plant, Dollar Plant, Dollar Tree. A Jade plant needs direct sunlight for it to grow well, and a sunny position if placed on a window sill.

Photo A Day Challenge 2018

written by Stef

FatMumSlim Photo A Day is a photo challenge that started since 2012. I have only joined when I was new in Instagram. From then, I gained a few followers that I make it a point to follow back too.

What is Photo A Day Challenge?

For each month, the host, Chantelle Ellem, posts a month-long list of words for the photo-a-day challenge. Once you have joined, your challenge is to take a photo or post an image relating to the particular word for the day. That is why these words are also called prompts. You are prompted, triggered or inspired by the word of the day to capture an image.

FMS Photo A Day Community

You see, with FMS Photo A Day you can share an old image you have been keeping or click the camera for new ones. Just as long as you share your OWN photo, no problem with that. Also, you have the freedom to post wherever you want, on your blog, Instagram or on your personal Facebook account.

You see, everyone is welcome here in the community. You don’t really have to show or capture super brilliant and jaw-dropping beautiful images to be able to join. Once you post or upload your image inspired by the prompt, you just have to add the hashtag for the prompt and the hashtag FMSPhotoADay. With using the hashtag for the day, you will be able to visit, view and like the other participants’ posted images too. Some use this to share their photography skills, some to promote their websites and gain followers. Others join to market their products too. As for me, I only join for fun.

Most of the images I post whenever I join the day’s prompt are of flowers, food, places we have been, my kids, animals and things that I find unique or perfect for the prompt. Here are some of the images I have shared for this year 2018, using my phone camera.

BTS Fan Art

written by Stef
BTS ARMY

My daughter K, @heyitskea on Instagram, learned about an app she can use for digital arts. So, she decided to try it and installed AutoDesk Sketchbook. Then there was the image of her being so busy with a few little artworks. She made a few until she decided to try something a little complicated, a BTS fan art as she call it. This one below took a little time and really challenged her because she did not use any stylus, just her fingers and mobile phone.BTS Taehyung

She is an ARMY, and her bias is Kim Tae-hyung, also known by his stage name V. K may have thought of challenging herself to make something a little more complicated. That is when she saw this photo of V and tried making her fan art. She posted this in her Instagram account and captioned: “My first try on realism digital art and it’s Taehyung! ?? I’m sooooo happy! This took me a week to finish tho ? Still getting used with it (app).”

2017’s Instagram Best Nine

2017’s Instagram Best Nine

written by Stef
2017 Instagram Best Nine

I intentionally allowed myself to forget to post the Best Nine of 2017 on Instagram.  Just feeling a little lazy, that is. Also, the fact that I get to be forgetful sometimes. I am not quite impressed with the results of the Best Nine  that the Mobile App came up with. Ha!Ha!

Kidding aside, it would not have given me this result if these are not the real images that garnered more likes. If you ask me, of course, I am thankful for all the likes these nine images received. Thank you as well to the followers and co-players for FMS Photo-a-day challenge for the likes on my entries and so as on the other photos I have in my profile. Who does not enjoy playing photo-a-day? We all do!

2017 Best Nine

Cheers to more amazing photos with family and friends! Looking forward to more snaps and creativity to be able to freeze the moment (and its memories) that we can look back and smile about in the future. Follow my account on IG @septembercharm and I will check your account too!

Pinterest LIKE Button is Gone

written by Stef
Pinterest Like button

Giving emphasis on the “Save” button, Pinterest Like button has been removed. For some accounts, this has already been implemented and will soon roll out to the rest of the Pinterest users.

“The No. 1 challenge is getting people to understand that Pinterest isn’t a social network,” CEO Ben Silbermann told Bloomberg.

So, what happens to those beautiful pins you have previously liked? Will this be permanent?

It will be saved and will still be viewable.Pinterest Bids Farewell to its LIKE Button Pinterest will save the pins you liked on a separate, secret board called “Your Pinterest Likes”. The removal might be a permanent one too.

At least, those pins you liked and have not decided to save yet are still there for you to easily go back and refer to when needed.  Should you desire to save the ones you have liked, it can easily be moved to your existing public boards.

With Pinterest’s decision to remove the like button, it does not necessarily mean that the platform will be less interesting and helpful.

Goodbye Pinterest like button! Hello to more Pinterest boards perhaps?!

Breakfast: Banana-Raisin Oatmeal Cookie Cups

written by Stef

One morning, I decided to serve both K & Roey Banana oatmeal. K ended up eating both servings and Roey ate Bananas instead. K got used to eating anything you serve her, believe it or not. My Mama has really helped a lot in her eating habits. She may be skinny but I am thankful that she is not sickly as well. Both my kids, actually. Thanks to HIM! Because, health is definitely a priority for me, and then education.

Roey, on the other hand, is the picky eater, she is not skinny though. She has just learned ( I don’t know where!) to say no to any food she thinks to be yucky! Unfortunately, the oatmeal I served them was one. So, the Mom in me was given a challenge. How can I make this kid eat oatmeal?

Banana-Raisin Oatmeal Cookie Cups

Since I have been seeing oatmeal biscuit recipes online, why not try one? So, I ended up with these Banana-Raisin Oatmeal cookie cups the next morning and was very satisfied with the result.

I love it Mom! It’s so fluffy…uhm…chewy!

She ate 2 cookie cups for breakfast and kept coming back to the fridge until every cookie is gone. K enjoyed the cookie cups too. Too bad I was out of flour and only ended up with 18 pieces that day. I also made a Choco Banana Oatmeal cupcake after few days for a variety. And will sure explore more healthy baking and cooking innovations for my loves.
How about you?

Hope you can share your Mommy-moves and creative tactics in serving your kids healthy breakfast or snacks, I would sure appreciate that!

Thanks in advance and happy baking or cooking and then eating! Ha! Ha!
