When Miss Kiki was younger, she was so curious and were willing (and wanting) to try all kids of food. This picture is a proof! This was taken in March, just over a year ago.

I remember when she was barely 6 months old, she hadn't even started her rice cereal yet, she would be staring at whatever I ate. Strawberries, rice, oranges..... She would give me a pleading look and lick her lips. Then she started eating cereal, veggies, fruits, eggs.

Then something happened. I'm feeling slightly guilty because maybe when she was at that curious age, I didn't feed her properly, and without a schedule. I know I sometimes forget to feed myself, so I wouldn't be surprised if I had been late in giving her food more than a few times. She sometimes doesn't want to eat, she started rejecting food, and had rapidly lost her baby fat and barely gained any weight in the past year.

She had a period where she would only eat burger patties, and then sometimes just sausages, and then just croissants. She still would snack on defrosted green peas, and she used to looove green onions. Now she is slightly better, but not much. She loves eating fruits: strawberries, mangoes, kiwis, pears, apples. And she also picked up not so good habits like anything chocolate, bottled ice tea, and demanding those things from her grandparents to top it off.

If I could turn back time, I would probably like to pay a lot more attention to what she eats and the eating schedule. I wonder if that would make a difference. But, since I can't anyways, I should really try to move forward and slowly work towards healthier eating habits for me and for her.

Nintendo Switch Sleeve Tutorial

Hi! I'm Kirana from woofkiki.blogspot.co.id . I am going to write an introduction for this blog post. We bought a Nintendo Switch in Japan.  I really liked it and played with it almost everyday. If you're wondering what a Nintendo Switch is, it is a video game where you can basically  "switch" everything. The joy-cons and even the game! You can also connect it to your TV. It would be nice to bring it around with you, but when you put it in your bag... Oh no! The screen scratched! So, this is a sleeve that will fix that. Let's get started!😊 Kirana Now the tutorial (by Kirana's mom)... 1. Make your pattern according to the picture below. It is basically a 6"x24" rectangle with a semi circle at one end. Note: this is not a printable pattern 1. Cut your outer fabric, lining, and batting(optional). In this tutorial, I used minky for lining and a pre-quilted fabric for the cover, so I didn't need extra batting. For batting, I recomm...

Where To Eat in Medan, North Sumatra

  If you talk to anyone about Medan, the number one thing that comes up is definitely the food. The distinguished Chinese-Medanese cuisine is known to Indonesians as exceptionally delicious. Just as famous is the Batak cuisine with its pork dishes and others. Now that we've been to Medan, these are our recommendations! Macehat Coffee Macehat is famous for their Avocado Coffee drink, but they also offer snacks and coffee beans. I've heard so many rave reviews for this coffee shop, but my final verdict is: it's ok, just so so.

Nasi Tumpeng - Yellow Rice Mountain Recipe

Last week, one of my friends posted a picture from her daughter's birthday with a "Nasi Tumpeng" in it. Traditionally, in Java and some other places in Indonesia, this mountain-shaped rice dish is served for special occasions like birthdays, anniversaries, and other celebrations. Below are some pictures of full blown Nasi Tumpeng platters. From satelitnews.co From bundatwinskitchen.files.wordpress.com From indochili.com Impressed yet? Well, the fore-mentioned friend offered me to come over to her place and learn how to make it so of course I gladly went! I am well aware of my cooking capability (and patience) so we made a much simpler (and smaller) version of it.  For the rice you need: 2 cups uncooked rice 1 cup coconut milk (you can put more or less depending on your preference) 1 stem lemongrass 2 bay leaves (dried or fresh) 2 lime leaves (dried or fresh) some turmeric (powder or fresh) water Here's the how to: ...
