My carbonara recipe

Posted May 29, 2009 by survivormom 2 comments.

Last night my son approached me and said he wants to eat carbonara. I told him I’ll just cook the pasta first and then the carbonara sauce in the morning for their breakfast. I noticed his sad face and disappointment so eventhough it’s quite late already I decided to cook the carbonara. We do not have house help so this working mom has to work overtime with some house chores like this.

Anyway, while cooking I did some experiments on my carbonara recipe since I’m on a tight budget i modify some of the ingredients. Instead of using ham and bacon I just used cheesedogs, then added some left over chicken. We do not have cream of mushroom so I just used chicken broth and Nestle cream. I put some mushrooms and cheddar cheese in placed of quick melt and parmesan cheese. The outcome? my kids’ loved it! Well, I know it’s not because i’m a good cook, they’re just fond of eating that’s why..hehe.

My wish

Posted May 27, 2009 by survivormom | comments

After a very tiring day at work i always ask myself when will i’ll be able to have a grand vacation. My daily work and life routine makes me feel stressed and weak so i think i need to refresh myself sometimes. I wish to travel and experience Orlando vacations because my relatives there had been inviting me for a long time and they’ve been telling stories about the places they’re going to show me when i visit them. Oh well, i hope this wish will come true someday. God willing.

God has been so kind to me and my family. We went through a very difficult situation in our family this week but God has taken away all the worries and the problems.Once again i felt His presence and how He works in our lives. God is true to His promise that He will never leave us nor forsake us, that in spite of our shortcomings and the the sins we’ve committed God is always ready to forgive us and take us into His loving arms again.

I will never survived this storm again without God’s intervention.For all of the people doubting God, don’t allow negativity and problems take away the Faith. It’s the only thing that God requires us to have.

Thank you Lord! Thank you for the love, grace and mercy! Praise be to God in the highest!

Don't quit

Thank God it’s Friday but most of all thank God it’s payday! As we all know payday is the most awaited time of all employees and workers. And for all moms out there it’s time again for us to budget our finances. Budgeting is not an easy task for homemakers especially in these times of economic difficulties. Mothers are faced with the problem of how to extend the family’s budget in order to meet all the needs of the family as the increase in prices of basic commodities is dragging the budget down. Oh well, it’s part of life and there’s nothing we can do but to plan carefully and spend our hard earned money wisely.

Life is difficult but we shouldn’t give up! Remember God is just a prayer away

Here’s an inspirational video that i’d like to share with you. Be inspired!

A treat for myself

Posted May 12, 2009 by survivormom | comments

I’ve been working hard for my family for so many years, and most of the time i set aside my own needs just to give them what they need and sometimes what they want. But something happened this week that made me realize it’s about time that i should think of myself. So next payday i will treat myself! Since i want to feel and look good i’ll go to a salon to fix my hair then i’ll buy some facial creams. Hmm what else? OK, I will buy jeans, blouse and a sexy nightgown as well. I want to boost my confidence after going through a very depressing moment in my life. I really hope it will help me somehow.
