Strawberry Choco Muffin

Leave a comment

Strawberry choco muffins – Believe me, it was my #firsttrial in making #muffin, which is actually a simple recipe. No mixer, no dirty hands. I never tried before just because I didn’t have the muffin pan. Yet, I once tried #baking cupcake by using pan for “bolu kukus” (one single aluminium pan, small and high for Indonesian traditional cake like this) 😀 #recipega #strawberrymuffins #muffins

Recipe: Strawberry Muffins All Recipes with my modification by adding the chocolate chips and vanilla extract.
Suggestion: I used to reduce sugar portion in baking recipes, but for this time I say, “Add more sugar”! 😛

Car Seat Safety Check

Leave a comment

#ea5512 set up #carseat for our upcoming baby (3/19/2015). In USA, car seat is a must-have-gear for child from newborn (yes, even when she / he goes home after delivery) until 12 years old. Based on the law, it has to be rear-facing for babies up to one year, but widely recommended up to two years old. To make sure that our car seat is installed correctly on our car and whether it’s still good* enough or not to use, we came to Mott’s Buckle Up Car Seat Safety Center (part of University of Michigan health institutions) in Jackson Road, Ann Arbor by bringing our car and car seat if we already have one. Since our family is a Medicaid (health insurance from federal government) and WIC (food stamp from state government) receiver, we are eligible to be lent a free car seat by the institution till unlimited time. Steps to get this benefit is very easy: just bring your card insurance and complete the paper works, then they will help you practice to install the car seat correctly and safel y on your car and let you go home with it. The car seat they lend is a convertible type which can be used up to child weighs 45 pounds. Alhamdulillah, some hundreds dollar (to buy new car seat) is saved! Thanks #MottBuckleUpProgram!
