Emma back to school Fall outfit ideas
I need to order another pair of the shoes to replace the one in the picture. Another white cardigans (not as warm as the one in the picture) is needed for warmer weather. Need some purple color hair bows.
I need to buy a blue Jean Jacket to replace the white cardigans in the picture. I think Blue Jean Jacket might go better with the outfits.
The dress is getting smaller but she can still wear it for this season. Need a better blue hair bows.
The sneakers is kind of beat up but the color matches. Need a green or black/white hair bows.
Casual wears. The problem is that she don't like to wear Jean pants. They are not soft.
mmm...It looks better than it shows in the picture. Again, need new shoes. Purple hair bows?
The white shirt in the picture is a bit beat up. Need to look for another similar white short sleeves shirts. White shirts are always useful. The Jacket in the picture were 6/6x, she could no longer wear it. I need to find another bigger one for her.
Last year's favorite outfit. Hopefully still can wear for one more season.
Again, need a better white shirt and bigger size Jean Jacket.
Suri's fall outfit.
Saw this one online. Cute.
Suri's outfits
I have a little girl of Suri's age. I can borrow some of Suri's fashion idea to dress up my girl.

kids breakfast ideas
1. Jam bread: Just regular store bought bread with strawberry Jam spread.
2. Zuccini pancake: half zuccini shredded, add 3/4 cup of flour, 1 tsp seseme oil, 1/2tsp salt, 1/2 tsp chicken bouillon powder, 2 eggs, 1 cup of water. Mixed together and and fry on the pan to the pancake size.
3. waffle with maple syrup: I like Alton Brown's good eat Waffle recipes. It looks healthy and yummy too.
4. Banana pancake: Whenever we have over ripped banana that no one will eat, we will use it to make banana bread or banana pancake.
5. fluffy pancake : My kids love this fluffy pancake, it has a fluffy chewy taste. On weekends, I will ask my 7 year old to make it with me.
6. Hot dogs: I used potable grill to grill hot dogs, fast, easy and look good.
7. French Toast : I like to use Costco bought Multi-grain bread slice to make it. It's dryer than the regular white bread so I don't have to leave it overnight to make the bread dryer.
8. Hash Brown: I made hash brown(egg, bacon, potato cubes for myself and my hubby and we both like it. Neither do both kids until one day we shop at costco, they tried the hash brown sample (egg, bacon and shredded potatoes and they like it!)
9. Breakfast cookies: You won't have time to make it in the busy morning time, but this can make when you have time and store it in the jar. If I would do it again, I will triple the recipes volumes and make 36 cookies at a time. Spend 30 mins just to make one breakfast isn't much time efficient.
10. Oatmeal with Raisin.
11. Boiled eggs.
12. Fry Radish cake with egg.
13. Fry plantain. Only Aiden likes it.
14. Sandwich (Biscuit/English muffin/slice bread with ham/grilled chicken/lettuce)
15. Hamburger (Beef patty with Oyster source + Onion)
16. Devil egg. Only Emma likes it.
17. Garlic butter bread.
18. Chicken Nugget.
19. Sausage
20. 土豆面拖，菠菜鸡蛋摊饼
