TIDUR MENGGUNAKAN KIPAS ANGIN BUKAN PENYEBAB UTAMA PARU2 BASAH
Tidur dalam udara panas tentu sangat tidak nyaman, apalagi untuk bayi dan anak-anak. Untuk itulah, kini hampir di setiap kamar tidur tersedia penyejuk udara atau kipas angin agar udara lebih nyaman dan segar. Namun, benarkah tidur memakai kipas ataupun AC bisa membuat anak menderita paru-paru basah?

Akan tetapi ketika ujian datang menghampiri dan pasti kita takkan bisa menghindarinya maka hanyalah upaya semaksimal mungkin dengan iringan do'a kepada Allah semata.
holiday peppermint mud pie recipe
Ones last recipe for 2010. An oldie but a goodie. My friend Vanessa (who doesn't really read this blog but always gets referred here by her mom and sister-in-law--hi Fifes!) asked me to make this for a church activity and I couldn't believe I'd lived this long without the recipe! It's easy and sooo yummy. Perfect for your New Year's celebration!
Holiday Peppermint Mud Pie Recipe
36 Oreo cookies, crushed (I ended up using the whole bag because you can never go wrong with more Oreos!)
1/2 cup margarine, melted (can use butter, but margarine works better!)
1/2 gallon ice cream, softened (we use Peppermint or Candy Cane for the holidays, or any mint chocolate chip ice cream is good for traditional mud pie)
1 jar fudge ice cream topping.
1 8oz. container Cool Whip
Mix cookie crumbs and margarine together. Press into bottom of 9"x13" pan, reserving some crumbs to sprinkle on top. Freeze 20 minutes. Spread 1/2 gallon of softened ice cream over cookies and freeze 20 minutes. Heat the jar of fudge ice cream topping for 10-15 seconds in the microwave and spread over the ice cream. Freeze 20 minutes. Spread Cool Whip on top and garnish with cookie crumbs. Freeze at least 20 minutes or until ready to serve (Vanessa recommends making it the night before).
You can't believe how fast this went. I also sprinkled crushed candy canes on top in addition to the cookies. Really cute. (Sorry, no pic--my pan was gone before I could get a picture!)

Sejarah Pempek Palembang
Menurut sejarahnya, pempek telah ada di Palembang sejak masuknya perantau Cina ke Palembang, yaitu di sekitar abad ke-16, saat Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin II berkuasa di kesultanan Palembang-Darussalam. Nama pempek atau empek-empek diyakini berasal dari sebutan “apek“, yaitu sebutan untuk lelaki tua keturunan Cina.

better late than never {happy new year cards}
For all my fellow procrastinators out there, I am not the least bit ashamed to admit that I am sending Happy New Year cards this year. Happy New Year is good for at least all of January, if not into February, so procrastinators rejoice! You still have time to send holiday cards!
I just sent these out today, and they'll get there the first week in January. Perfect. I went with Tiny Prints for two reasons: 1, I love their designs, and 2, I love the heavy matte paper they use. Oh, and 3, they'll mail them for you! You pay a little extra to print the addresses and for the postage, and they take care of the mailing. Awesome--one more thing off my list for 2010.
This was my first order with Tiny Prints and I was impressed. I encountered one slow spot when trying to proof my envelopes, but other than that it was pretty slick. And because I was a new customer, I was able to use this coupon code for $10 off: AFFNEW (ends 12/31/10). If you've used them before, there are other coupon codes for 10%, 15%, and 20% off, depending on how much you spend (ends 12/29/10). You've only got a couple more days to procrastinate if you want to use the coupons, but if you want to wait a little longer, I give you permission to send your Happy New Year cards anytime in 2011. You're welcome.
