A Magical Festive Journey with LEGO
Can’t head overseas?
Happy Friday, everyone!
I’m happy to tell you that I think we’ll be able to put the new bookshelf in Sonia’s room today. Which is excellent because the shelf and the sawhorses are seriously making it hard to walk downstairs right now.
Of course, I will definitely share photos once it’s all set up in her room. 
I went to Aldi and spent $124, and later in the week, $17 on a quick stop for a few other things.
So, $141 total for the week.
Week 1: $60
Week 2: $141
We had a fend for yourself kind of night; I remember that Sonia ate ramen, but I’m fuzzy on what everyone else ate!
I made a main dish green salad with shrimp and bacon, which we ate with some fresh homemade French bread.
We had pasta alfredo (pasta with tomato sauce for Sonia), plus a salad and the leftover French bread from Sunday night.
Breakfast for dinner! I made fried mush, French toast, and bacon. And we had OJ.
(I really need to update the fried mush post because there’s no printable there. And it’s a little lacking in the photo department.)
We had burrito bowls (rice, veggies, this chicken, sour cream, and mango salsa)
And applesauce on the side.
I made pulled pork sandwiches, which we ate with applesauce, oranges, and potato chips.
I have book club tomorrow night, so I think Mr. FG and I might do our takeout date night tonight instead.

Fortunately, Smart Care has a large variety of products for that very purpose. I love their products for children, such as mini hand sanitizers featuring their favorite characters like Marvel superheroes, Trolls, and Thomas & Friends. Kids will love taking them to school, as well as Smart Care’s antibacterial hand wipes featuring the Minions! My teenage son grabbed a pocket-sized hand sanitizer to carry in his backpack at school.
1. Be Sure About Alcohol Percentage
The amount of alcohol in the hand sanitizer is critically important, and the most effective hand sanitizers consist of 60-85% alcohol by volume, so be sure to check the alcohol percentage before purchasing.
2. Check Alcohol Type
Ethanol is proven to be more effective than isopropyl alcohol on its own against viruses. Be sure to check the type of alcohol to make sure you are purchasing the most effective hand sanitizer.
4. Proper Application Is Important
In advance of application, make sure to clean all dirt and grease from your hands. Apply a small dab of hand sanitizer to the palm of one hand, then rub your hands together. Make sure the sanitizer has dried before wiping your hands.
5. Select a Brand with a Proven Reputation
Lastly, with the increasing number of brands on the market, make sure to select a brand that has an established reputation for delivering performance and efficacy ~ like Smart Care!
I hope you’ll visit Smart Care today to pick up a wide assortment of products to help your family fight germs together.
One lucky winner will receive an assortment of hand sanitizers, soaps and wipes from Smart Care! The package will include:
1oz Hand Sanitizer, mixture of Marvel/Kids Licenses (2-3)
Enter through the Giveaway Tools below. This giveaway is open to U.S. residents only and ends at 11:59 PM EST on Friday, November 27, 2020.
Disclosure: I received complimentary product samples to facilitate my honest review.
PRISM+ Android TV has landed in Singapore.
PRISM+ is a homegrown brand that is well known for the monitors. Last year,
they launched their first range of 4K Smart TV. This year, they up the ante of a selection of Android TV that is set to take Singapore by storm. We managed to get our hands on the Prism+ 55 and our first impression was awesome.

Daily Dose There is an Opportunity in every Crisis
Throughout the past 4 decades of existence, this has always been the case.
From the Sep 11 attack on the US to the Global Financial Crisis to Sars, all these present opportunities for those seeking longer-term investments.
Covid19 is not an exception. Property Loving Singaporeans are using this opportunity to get into real
New here? Thankful Thursday is something we’ve been doing in these COVID times; a (frugal and free) exercise to help us hunt for the good that is in our lives and in the world, even in the midst of a pandemic.
This week, I am thankful:
The problem? a pair of socks that somehow made their way out of the tub and into the machine innards.
That’s a quick and easy fix. Yay!
I am super grateful to have my washing machine up and running again.
I’d sent my appliance guy a video of my washing machine symptoms, and he’d made an educated guess that a new gear case was necessary.
He couldn’t get out here for a few days, so to make things as efficient as possible, he had us order the part based on his educated guess.
That way we’d have if it we needed it.
But happily, we don’t need it! Which means we can return it.
As I was writing up the post about it, I was reminded of all the small jobs we had to do in relation to the window installation.
I’m so glad it’s over and the room can just stay cleaned up now.
This is her second pregnancy and she’s been pretty sick, like she was the first time.
During her first pregnancy, she lived hours away from me, so I couldn’t do much other than text encouragement and sympathy.
But this time she lives 15 minutes away from me!
So I’ve been going over every other week or so to help with some household chores.
(This cousin is one of the twins I wrote about here.)
When I was pregnant and sick, it helped me so much when people pitched in with household chores or childcare, and I am delighted that I can do this for someone else.
In the stage of life where I had four young kids, I couldn’t really do a whole lot to go help other people. I’d have needed childcare help to be free to help!
But now that my kids are older, it’s easy to leave them to manage themselves for an afternoon while I help someone else.
(Hopefully that’s an encouragement to some of you who are in the thick of young kids right now.)
I was chatting with Mr. FG about this on one of our recent takeout nights; I love that everyone can bring their own unique flavor to their service to others.
For instance, I am not particularly gifted in the fun and spontaneous arenas of life.
But I am really good at practical things. And I am good at working hard.
So, I can help my cousin out by washing dishes, folding laundry, organizing, and sweeping.
Someone who is good at fun could help out a pregnant mom by taking her other kids to the park, or making a fun craft with them.
Both things are helpful; they’re just different flavors of help.
I am so thankful that you and I don’t have to try to be someone else in order to help people. We just have to use the gifts we already have.
And this is good news for someone like me, who has un-flashy types of gifts.
I got this years ago, when we had more carpet in our house, and it’s really been great.
We don’t use it tons now, since we just have three rooms with carpet, but it is still nice to have around, and it works great for steam cleaning car interiors.
I’ve been able to let other people borrow my cleaner too, and I used it very recently to do my pregnant cousin’s main carpets (because I know that fresh, clean surfaces help when you are constantly queasy!)
I got it sanded and primed on Tuesday, did several coats of paint on Wednesday, and will probably finish it up today.
But then I’m going to have to make Sonia patiently wait before putting things on the shelves because I want to make sure the paint is nice and hard.
Books can really stick to paint that is not fully cured and I don’t want to undo all my work!
Related thankfulness item: I was able to remove three of the shelves, which makes for much easier sanding and painting.

Singapore – HongKong Travel Bubble will start on Nov 22.
Since this is the only available option for an overseas holiday, there will be families who would not be able to resist the travel itch. Before you make the hotel booking, do calculate your expenses wisely. In the past, it is very possible to go to a 5D 4 N Holiday in HK for 4 for $3000. Today, it will be virtually impossible.
Daily Dose: 18
Another day of zero community cases in Singapore. Before we kick off the
celebration, there are 18 imported cases with 10 cases of foreign domestic
workers who arrived from Myanmar and Indonesia. This just shows that although
we may have it in control within Singapore. How Covid19 develops beyond our
borders are out of our control.
