2 weeks ago, hubby dug out our X’mas tree and spent hours decorating the tree up to the wee hours of the morning. He knows his 3 princesses love the X’mas tree and he would do anything to make them happy. There is a story behind this X’mas tree…. a tree that cost him over…

What Can Keep Babies Amused

Posted on November 28, 2008 by Shireen

Apart from a couple of teething rings, I have not bought any toys for Baby C for I know she will surely lose interest in her toys in just hours. I’ve learnt my lesson after having 2 older gals. Amazingly, what amuses Baby C and also my 2 older gals when they were babies are…

Organic Soap

Posted on November 26, 2008 by Shireen

When hubby stepped out of the bathroom the other day, he smelled different. He didn’t smell of any of the body shampoos that were in our bathroom. I was too busy to find out from him why he smelled different. Later when I went inside the bathroom, I saw this : For a moment, I didn’t…

Will God Be Angry With You Mummy?

Posted on November 25, 2008November 25, 2008 by Shireen

Sherilyn my #2 is always up to tricks, antics and patience-testing habits that drive me nuts. From young, she would take forever to finish her meals. At every meal, she would SURELY spill water, milk or soup, drop her food everywhere on the floor from the dining area to the living room as she will climb up…

Our photo albums are now placed in a built-in cabinet in the living room of our new home. These albums were once placed high up in a cabinet in the maid’s room at our old home and we hardly ever took them out to see. That’s the reason why my 2 brats have not even…

Yesterday, Alycia and Sherilyn stayed up to way past 12am helping daddy unpack our boxes of things. Most of the things were mine and some belonged to my 3 sisters in law. Hubby is really fastidious when it comes to neatness and is a stickler for being spick and span. Sometimes he can be a…
