I have recently blogged about my interest with preparing bento snacks for my preschooler.  A friend’s blog entries about her daughter’s bento food which she personally prepares everyday are luring me to try it also.  They’re so appealing and cute and I’m pretty sure that my son will also be delighted to open his lunchbox and see interesting and colorful food characters and shapes.  I just need to secure the necessary bento accessories first like cookie cutters, molders, bento toothpicks and dividers, etc.  My friend advised that I go to Saizen where such affordable items abound.  Luckily, we passed by a Japan Home Center newly opened branch somewhere near Timog Avenue last weekend and I’ve already contracted the husband that we’ll go shopping there one of these days.  I’m hopeful that we’d be able to shop for Bento accessories and who knows even a stainless steel sink that we can replace the one in the kitchen with.

Here are some of my friend’s Bento works.  Bookmark her site (themanicmama.com) as it’s a good source and reference for cool Bento lunch and snack ideas for kids:

We all know that too much of anything is bad.  As in the case of sweets, too much of it can be synonymous to Diabetes risk.  The risk and chances are even higher if this particular sickness runs in the blood.  Meaning, if your folks have it, there’s a huge probability that you have it also.

Chocolates, sodas, candies, cakes – all are heavenly tasting.  But remember that moderation is always the key.  You do not want risking yourself because Diabetes is a life-long ailment that’s very challenging to nurse.  Even though there are meds that can control it, do note also that not all medicines are safe and may even cause harm such in the case of Altos.  This is the reason why Actos lawsuit has been filed by patients in the last few years.  They suffered heart risks conditions such as heart attacks and heart failures after taking this drug.
