Snowman Hunt #3: Kitchen

Thank you all for visiting my blog. I enjoyed reading all your sweet comments about mumsy's house. I have been chatting to her how you like her place! It made her happy :) It is near the end of the tour but I will be having a giveaway after.

Today, I will take you to my favorite part of the house.
The kitchen!
I lived with my in-law's for four months when I moved to U.S. Mumsy and Dadzy opened their house for me while waiting till my fiance (now my husband) finished his phd and till our wedding.
It was a very significant 4 months for us. We had developed a more intimate relationship. They showered me with so much love when I was homesick for my family.

Let's sneak under the counter
This is where I learned how to cook. The same place where I impressed them with the taste of Filipino food. They  both encouraged me and were very supportive during my experimental times.
They didn't mind serving as my lab rats.
I have to say. I was quite a little nervous impressing them. Turned out, they are sweetest in-laws I know.


Okay, back to the trip. This is the exact corner I sat waiting for fat Larry (the squirrel) to show up at the back yard every morning!

That's him! I think they are cute and there are no Squirrels in Manila!

I just love her little decorative somthin-somethin in her cabinet!
How about a closer look?

She keeps painting made by family. That painting there is the work of her youngest son when he was a little boy!
This was last year's kitchen window. I did not realize she changed it to..

This!

She doesn't get just any paper towels. It has to be cute like dadzy teases her. lol!
I hope I did not overwhelmed you with too many photos. I was having a hard time choosing which one, but I hope you enjoyed a little tour of chez mumsy.
Till the next post!

  1. What wonderful in-laws you have. I would love to cook in that kitchen. Wondering how long it takes her to decorate for Christmas and how long to pack it up again for next year?
