Our 3 Month Old Preemie Baby: Liam Jace

Our baby is now 3 months old, I posted his first story in my post "Prematurity Awareness Month, Meet 32 weeker Baby Liam Jace" . Giving birth prematurely was a traumatic event, culminating in a nerve wracking and great ordeal. Looking back we remember how we use to sit together in bed talking and praying each day. He spent 35 days in NICU. We were scared because we didn't know what was going to happen to our baby. We were curious as to his everyday progress and always ask questions to nurses and pedia but they assured us that he was in good hands and everything would be alright. As for everyone that are going through the distress of having a preemie and the panic of what is next, please know that kids are incredibly resilient and will surprise you with how they can pull through this! Always remember... prayer works! Here are the recent pictures  of our baby Liam Jace..  look I'm strong! I can be a baby model, check out my body! We believe every child is ...

Tips on Photographing Food

Are you a food traveler? Do you feature your food excursions on a blog or in a diary? If so, taking photos of your meals and sharing them with your blog readers, friends or family is a great way to show them the foods you have enjoyed during your travels. There are a few things to keep in mind when taking pictures of food. Done the wrong way, the dish can look unappetizing and misleading. Done the right way, the dish can look so good you can taste it! Listed below are a few tips for taking great photos of food: 1. Focus: It is very important to keep every part of the food in focus and to shoot your photo at close range. You want the dish to look as realistic as possible, so if any part of the meal is out of focus, adjust the lighting and camera range until you get a good shot. If you have a digital SLR camera, and you really want to impress; turn off the automatic exposure setting on your camera and use a faster shutter speed (1/60th or 1/200th) coupled with a larger aperture (f/2 or...

Guest Post: Peanut Butter and Jam Creme Brulee Recipe

I had fun recently making Peanut Butter Millionaire Shortbread , and since my girlfriend Mairi loves peanut butter I was keen to try out something else (any excuse to treat her!). I had the idea of doing a creme brulee, with jam set in the bottom of the ramekin. The result was fantastic! Here's the recipe: Heat about 300g of strawberry or redcurrant jam in a saucepan until it melts. Strain through a fine sieve then pour into the bottom of 6 or 7 ramekins, depending on their size. Place in the fridge to set. Crush some salted peanuts into small crumbs and toast in a frying pan until golden. Set aside. Put 200ml of double cream, 200ml of milk and 120g of peanut butter into a saucepan and bring to the boil, stirring with a whisk to incorporate the peanut butter. Set aside. Place 5 large egg yolks and 50g of caster sugar in a metal
