Oh boy, it has been some time we did not update this blog. I must celebrate the "re-launch" of the blog by posting one of our favourite chocolate cake recipes. Life is busy with kids running around who need the parent’s tender loving care.
In life, we celebrates good things happened around us. We are very thankful that we met some nice people that sincerely want to help us. It is a blessing to have a nice nanny & nice neighbors. We are blessed.
