A weekly ritual.
A single photo – no words – capturing a moment from the week.
A simple, special, extraordinary moment.
A moment I want to pause, savor and remember – {this moment}

March is a busy birthday month for my family. Today my nephew who turns 5! He’s always a big fan of my homemade breads. So instead of a cake, I made him this cheese bread. Happy birthday, my dearest Lele. Hope you stay happy and never stop asking questions!
Baked a cotton sponge cake for my niece who turned 9 today. Unfortunately, during this time of the outbreak, she was not able to celebrate her birthday with her friends and family. She stopped by because her brother is taking piano lessons from Dai Bee.
Happy Birthday, Hy. Hope you stay happy, healthy and don’t forget to bring the sunshine with you everywhere you go.
Luckily I have grapes in the fridge! She was a great sport to help me decorate her own cake!
This is the lat year Ah Lo will be playing for CYO (5th Div). Dai Bee is also the Assistant Coach to the team. Their goal coming to the season is to win the championship, even recruited his cousin to join to the team. Tonight was play off and they played hard. Unfortunately, it didn’t go as planned. That was perfectly ok, as they both learned some things from the coach and one of their teammate. It was an exciting game and thought everyone tried their best.
Today Ah Lo and his cousin are going head to head (competing for their own school) for the first time. This is the game we’ve been waiting for since the first day of the season. Either my son or my nephew wins, it’s a win-win situation for me. LOL.
At the end, Ah Lo’s school didn’t make the cut. Because of this loss, the school will not have a seat at the playoff. It was pretty wild to watch him play this season. He has his ups and downs, but super proud of him for not giving up, for working hard, and for proving to himself and his coach that he deserves to be one of the starters.
Even though they didn’t take the trophy home, everyone goes home with a cookie!
We don’t picnic often, but every time we do, it reminds me how good it is to be outdoors. I made pasta salad, packed some sandwiches, cut some fruits – oh yeah, and baked some emoji cookies.
Today my sisters and their families joined us picnicking at Crissy Fields. Some sold cookies and some kids ran around the field to get the blood running (it was a bit chilly), just something for someone to do. The main attraction for the crowd is, of course, the Blue Angels show! As always, the airshow and the Blue Angels never disappoint. Hope to continue this tradition!
Babysat my nieces and nephew today. I came up with selling baked goods last-minute, taking advantage of the foot traffic of the concert at the park. I had them worked on signs, baked cupcakes/cookies (from cake mix) and decide on the pricing.
I used to do this with my boys, and now they are grown so they probably don’t care as much. These two kiddos were so excited from the beginning! We made $24 that day. Wasn’t much, but the entire experience was much more valuable!

Some of my sisters have Back to School Night yesterday and asked me to babysit. This is what it looks like. 5 here working on their homework, and 2 outside practicing basketball. Yes, even with 7 kids in the house, there’s still peace and quiet.
