This morning as we were having breakfast together, Sherilyn was as usual doing some writing and coloring. That’s the only way I can keep this hyper-active brat seated still for at least an hour to finish her breakfast. Sherilyn was first practising her writing skills and kept writing the letters ‘H’ and ‘V’. Then, she…
Do you get blisters on your toes and heels whenever you wear pointed high heels? I will surely get them when I wear my high heels, especially pointed ones and thankfully, I don’t have to wear high heels anymore. I still have a few pairs of pointed high heels which have been sitting quietly in my shoe…
After reading Chin Nee’s post on her early preparation for the arrival of her twins (she’s only 23 weeks preggers), I realized that I haven’t done anything yet and I am already 36 weeks preggers this week! So this week or next week, I have to pack my hospital bag, dig out Aly and Sher’s old…
Many of the baby gifts that I received after I delivered Alycia and Sherilyn were items that I already had or items that I could not find any use for my babies. They are pre-packaged baby clothes, baby bottles, rattles, bowls and cutlery for toddlers, baby bags and pacifiers. I think the best gifts for…
I had my 4th attack of leg cramp last night. Leg cramps are by far the most painful ordeal I’ve ever experienced, apart from suffering from a blocked milk duct which caused a terrible breast engorgement for 1 day and several months of painful Carpal Tunnel Syndrome after I had delivered Alycia. Luckily hubby was…
Alycia and Sherilyn just love tagging along with me to the hospital for my check-ups. First, they get to play in the playroom whilst I wait for my turn to see the Ob&G. Sometimes, daddy buys them sandwiches and muffins from Starbucks (yup, there is even a Starbucks within the hospital). Then, they get to…
I find that teaching Alycia and Sherilyn works best during breakfast time. It’s the time when they are seated and eating and their attention span tends to be the highest in the morning. Sherilyn for one can never sit still during meal times. Without any activitiy to occupy her when she eats, she will climb up…
After years of shunning away from meat, especially chicken meat, Sherilyn is now starting to appreciate chicken meat, though the meat has to be really well marinated – salty or sweet and not too tough. And she won’t eat the meat if I cut them all up for her. She only wants to eat the chicken together with the…
I still have not signed up this blog for any pay-per-click ads program. I had wanted to sign up for AdSense but AdSense is bringing in the revenue at snail’s pace. I signed up my Blogspot blog with AdSense in April last year and up until now, the revenue has not even reached USD100, though traffic…
My mum was teaching Alycia what ascending and descending order are in her Math exercise several days ago. She was explaining to Alycia that ascending means going up, like going up the stairs and descending means going down, like going down the stairs. As my mum was teaching Alycia, Sherilyn sat quietly next to my…
Whenever I go to home furnishing marts, I tend to spend most of my time at the bedroom department and bathroom vanities department. Though I may have nothing to buy, I just love to look around, do some price comparisons among furniture shops and admire the furniture, beddings and bathroom vanities. Sometimes I will end…
Alycia finally understands how to do this Math exercise : and she did the entire exercise on her own with only a few mistakes made. Her writing has also improved by the leaps and bounds. However, Alycia still could not do the exercise where she has to rearrange all the numbers from 0 through 30 in…
