Mommy's special recipe is a 5 star cake!!! - IUPI!!!

I'm selling my special cake at my Mother's restaurant and this week... I've been baking 1 cake per day!!!
The "selling my sweets" deal, didn't work... the guy sold my sweets and said he offered them to customers 'cause he couldn't sell them... so... no cake for him! :P

This special cake is an adaptation from one I saw at BBC channel, so, it's exclusive for Jaco in Linda-a-Velha, my mother's restaurant. I have more ideas for cake and sweets, but for now, I'm happy with just one cake at just one place... but hey... the client is always right... RIGHT??? :D:D:D

My little girl turns 6 years old today.

noreply@blogger.com (Mommy) — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 16:48:00 +0000

Beatriz turns 6 years old!!!

6 years ago, I didn't sleep all night... I was counting the contractions lol... well, writing them in my notepad :D
Morning came and I woke up my ex... off course he told me, just 1 more hour!!
I took a shower, woke up, Matilde and Guilherme, packed everything, checked everything and at around 10am I called a taxi and my ex came running and we went.

This was in the Netherlands and we went to the Geboorte Hotel in Beemster. I had my own room, the kids stayed in the room just next to mine. Took another shower, drank some tea with some cookies and then I told the midwife that I thought it was time.

God!!! - My water broke and the pain was horrible!!! - I had nothing for the pain :'| I tried pushing in every position I thought, but it didn't work... then the midwife had an idea and brought a sort of toilet seat hehe... well, that did the trick, but I pushed and pushed and I was already saying that I couldn't!! - Common, third kid and I couldn't push???

I asked my ex to hold me, and I laid back... 2 pushes after and I had a little girl!!! 12h55m, 3310kg, 50cm, PC34cm :D

Ohhh btw... I decided that I did not want to know the sex on that pregnancy, and my God, it was a wonderful feeling, I was so anxious... is it a girl, a boy hihi... deep down I thought it was a girl, but we never know, right?

She was beautiful, full of hair, cried her lungs out and she grabbed my boobs right away lol... she was so hungry that I had milk the next day, she wouldn't let go!!

I had to go to the hospital though, because the placenta decided not to come out :P
But I was lucky and when the doctor came, I pushed he squeezed and 1 hour later I was home!!!

6 years later, Bia turned into a beautiful little girl... with 2 less teeth LOL and she's going to school!!!! Snif snif, nostalgia is kicking in...

Today we backed some chocolate chip cookies... hmmmm, she loves cookie dough hehe

And I'm taking to long (Bia complains lol), so I have to go...

JINHOS MUITOS!!!!!

INTERNATIONAL DAY OF THE FAMILY

noreply@blogger.com (Mommy) — Fri, 15 May 2009 12:08:00 +0000

May 15 is celebrated as the International Day of the Family. This day highlights the importance of families. It aims at fostering equality, bringing about a fuller sharing of domestic responsibilities and employment opportunities. The programmes undertaken to commemorate the day, work towards supporting families in the discharge of their functions. They tend to promote the inherent strengths of families, including their great capacity of self-reliance, and stimulate self-sustaining activities.

Family constitutes the basic unit of society. Hence, the widest possible protection and assistance should be accorded to families so that they fully assume their responsibilities within the community to the provisions of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Declaration on Social Progress and Developments and the Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination against women.

What is a family?

According to Murdock, an anthropologist, a family is "a group characterized by common residence, economic cooperation and reproduction. It includes adults of both sexes, at least two of whom maintain a socially approved sexual relationship, and one or more of their children of their own or adopted by the sexually cohabiting adults."

The Family as a Functional Unit

The biological, emotional and economic needs are the foundation of a family. It grows out of biological needs, particularly those of the expectant mother and the infant child, who cannot support and live by themselves.

Every association of people; it be a state, a nation, or a tribe -- has its own distinctive culture, its modes of living and thought, which are developed as a response to the peculiar circumstances of the environment, natural and ideological. Family is the agency through which the impressionable rising generation is made familiar with such traditions. It teaches the individual what situations to anticipate, how to behave and what behaviour to expect, by giving one the gifts of language and dress which integrate within one’s cultural ethos. It facilitates adjustment to people and groups outside the family circle.

Family plays an important role in transmission of the cultural traditions from one generation to another. It acts as an educative unit and a socio-cultural agency. The importance of this aspect lies in the fact that children all over the world get their earliest instruction in the family beginning with language.

Distinctive Features of the Family

Universality. In view of the fact that all aspects of an individual’s life, are considerably influenced and made possible by family grouping, it is found all over the world and at all levels of culture. Besides, there is no conclusive or convincing evidence that there ever was a time when this institution did not exist. Modern civilization has not so far succeeded in providing a complete and fully satisfying substitute to this grouping. Family is the most universal and the most important organization for socialization.

Emotional basis. The integrative bonds in a family are of mutual affection and blood ties. This emotional basis makes it ideally suited for the all-important role of early education, which makes it an institution of considerable importance as a transmitter of culture.

Educative role. The most plastic year of every individual’s life, that is, childhood, is spent in the family. It is here that one gets the earliest and the most fundamental lessons in socialization. One is mentally formed according to the norms of society, which get ingrained in one to re-appear in adult life as conscience or super-ego. The cultural traditions that are imbibed by an individual are imbibed in the familial setting, making the formative influence of the family supreme.

Limited size. The family, throughout the world, is characterized by its precision as compared to other types of groupings like the sib or clan for instance.

Nuclear position. With regard to all the different types of groupings, family plays an important role in so far as it prepares the individual for participation in all these secondary groups, for their demands and situations. It serves as the nucleus for the growth of other types of groupings which never deal with the culture less creature that a newly-born child is.

Sense of responsibility among members. Even though emotions and feelings are the main basis of family life, it is not completely devoid of reason. A sense of responsibility among its members in relation to one another is an aspect, which is more rational and reasoned than emotional and instinctive. This feeling of personal responsibility towards one another is very important to ensure the smooth working of the familial grouping, and consequently of society as a whole; and, therefore, we find society stepping in to ensure it through customs and mores.

Social regulations. Society has to ensure, by evolving mores and folkways, that the individual members in a family do perform all those functions towards each other on the basis of which the wider network of social relationships is dependent for its success. For example, there are social restrictions on divorce varying in intensity, in almost every society.

Persistence and change. Whereas family as an institution is the most permanent and universal one in human societies, as an association it is subject to constant change in composition and structure, even within the same society.

Effect of Modernization on Family

In the simple and peasant societies, family was the unit of production as well as a primary unit of society. In the industrial society, the family has lost the place of being the unit of production and has been replaced by individual as the primary unit of society who works as a wage-earner or professional. The roles of family and marriage have undergone significant change in industrial societies. But even today, family occupies a unique place in industrial as well as pre-industrial societies. Families assume diverse forms and functions that vary from region to region, and express the social condition. It is seen that the family in Asia is moving slowly towards the Western nuclear family model, but retaining certain structural forms and traditional values.

Global Trends Emerging in the Family

Some of the general trends in family today, with the progress of industrialization, urbanization, and modernization, are towards greater degree of:

Egalitarian family relations, with less sexual segregation and limited subjugation of women to an inferior status;

Emphasis on individualism and independence;

Greater differentiation and specialized functioning of social institutions;

Life in an urban setting;

Birth control and family planning;

Social mobility;

Marital disruption and divorce;

Neglect and improper care for the elderly;

Formal education for children; and

Governmental influence on family activities.

The international day of family was founded by the United Nations General Assembly in 1993. The establishment of this Day draws attention of the public of various countries to numerous problems of family.

So enjoy and party with your family on this beautiful day!!
