And just like that. 15th of September 2019 came and went but you turned 4. Yong, the years trying to conceive you came with it’s own set of challenges. Syukur Alhamdulillah , Allah swt answered our prayers and we truly cannot thank Him enough. You are Allah’s gift to us. Like all children, that is why you’re so special. We love you so much Annie-boo. You’re Daddy’s girl, and Mummy’s best friend. Happy Birthday my light, Yahaira Leanne. Today wouldn’t have been possible if it weren’t for your family that loves you so much Yong. But we thank you. Coz seeing how happy you were made it all worth it. 💖
birthday gift for girl best friend 在 A Happy Mum Facebook 的精選貼文
Nope, this isn't an ad for @mcdsg, just a heartwarming story to share.
It was supposed to be a quick meetup this morning. I was going to pass our Moana birthday party supplies to a reader and I was feeling happy knowing that the things were going to be put to good use instead of being kept in our kitchen cabinet or worse, discarded after some time.
After waiting for a while, I called her (yesh, she was so nice to give me her contact yesterday) just in case she forgot about our date. She mentioned she was waiting for McGriddles (I had no idea what it was) and would make her way over shortly. At that point, she didn't even know that I was bringing her daughter a gift (she didn't see my IG stories yet) and all she knew was that I was going to pass her some leftover balloons and party stuff.
Yet, it turned out that the McDonalds breakfast was specially bought... for ME! She made her way to get this after dropping her kid in school while pushing her 7-month old baby girl in a pram. Oh gosh, I was overwhelmed and didn't think that I deserved that much goodness from this kind soul.
In the end, we stood there and had a good talk, just mum to mum. Oh, we both have three kids (one boy and two girls) and have kids who are in the same age. How coincidental, right? We spoke about primary school life, the endless spellings and homework, school buses that break down but don't inform you, having to bring out a little one to fetch the elder ones under the hot sun, baby carriers, chores and more. Gosh, I think we would have gone on and on if not for the fact that both of us had to go to the supermarket to get groceries to cook. Haha. So yup, we promised to set a breakfast date to catch up again.
From blog reader and social media follower to friend. You have no idea how much I appreciate and cherish this. Thanks so much for your kindness this morning, @lavausof, it's the best breakfast I've had for a long time because it is filled with so much love and heart. ❤

birthday gift for girl best friend 在 Racheal Kwacz - Child & Family Development Specialist Facebook 的最佳解答
A few months ago, I had the gift and privilege of hanging out with my Suppagood girls and had a life-changing experience learning how good my body felt and how delicious vegan/vegetarian food could be.
Since then, we’ve really tried to go as meat-free as possible, discovering as we go along on what feels good and listening to our bodies.
My birthday gift to myself this year was a morning with my favorite #veganwarrior, discovering the beauty of Vegan Peranakan food. The cherry on top?
A date with my best girl in our favorite zero-waste store The Hive- Bulk Foods.
If you haven’t met Davina Da Vegan, she is passionate, kind, giving, and an hour with her will leave you wanting to do so much better for the world.
She doesn’t preach or shame or guilt you into it. She accepts your truth for whatever it is, bends, makes room, and I have watched her do this again and again, with so much respect as a mama, a colleague and a friend.
The beauty of Davina is also that she makes veganism approachable. In my head, it seemed so complicated, to learn to cook with new ingredients and substitute tried-and-true familiar meat flavor profiles seemed daunting.
What Davina does best is she uncomplicates it for you. As we sat down and ate our home-cooked lunch of popiah, pong teh and pengat pisang, I didn’t feel like I was missing anything at all. Neither did it feel hippie, herby, vegetable-y. Instead it was hearty, soulful, comfort food. Familiar. Just like how grandma would make it.
And that’s what I loved most of all about it. It was that it wasn’t all the jazz and fancy of cooking class, but really just like if we were invited to someone’s home, gathering around the kitchen, laughing, sharing recipes, learning to cook the way my grandma or aunts or mama would teach me. Literally with a chair pulled up for Ella Grace and everyone graciously just working around her as she flitted about the way you would at home, cooking together, a dash of salt here, a taste test there.
The perfect birthday morning, the gift of time and community. These recipes were so simple yet so delicious and ones that I know will be a part of our tradition for years to come.
Thank you Davina. ❤️
