FollowAfter rascal #2’s thumb got squashed by a steel door about 2 years ago (the bone of her left thumb cracked a little and the nail was yanked off. It was a bloody scene at home and in the hospital. Eeeeeekssss!), I have developed a strong phobia of my kids’ fingers being squashed by doors. Since then, almost every…

Our Saturday
As I am typing this post, Baby is now being babysat by her 2 sisters who are entertaining her in my bedroom. Alycia is as usual inside the playpen cuddling her and letting Baby step on her head and all over her, hahaha! Sherilyn is on my bed experimenting hair styles and arranging out her…
Of Sherilyn And Her Wacky Fashion Sense… Again
I had a good belly laugh when I saw rascal #2 in this hilarious hip hop fashion:For a moment, I was trying to think hard what on earth was over her pants. Then I realized it’s the bottom from her 2-piece swimsuit which she hardly wears.And I really think she has high potential to be…

My Little Vain Pot Who Wants To Be Hip Hop
Each Saturday after her ballet class, Sherilyn will amuse me with her dress sense when she steps into the house. Though there are clothes that I’ve already packed for her in her bag for her to change after class, she will be up to all sorts of fanciful fashion ideas like wearing a t-shirt on…
Serious Potty Business
Baby loves sitting on her potty, seriously! She prefers sitting on the potty more than her high chair, I kid you not. While she’s seated on her throne, I strike when the iron is hot. I spoon feed her whatever I have to feed her with… and keep her busy with flash cards, books, board…
Learning To Read From The Internet
I used to teach Alycia and Sherilyn reading from free websites like Starfall, KizClub, Story Place and much more, but there was a hiatus during the height of my paid post business where I could not afford to share my PC with them. Those days, I was glued to the PC tapping my fingers away for…

Baby And Her New Toys
Being the first and only child 5.5 years ago, we spoilt Alycia rotten. Even her first potty cost close to a hundred ringgit! Silly me (being a naive first time mom) for I did not know then how impractical those fanciful and cute potties are. It’s heavy and bulky. I did not know then how troublesome it was…
Baby C Turns 18 Months Today
How time flies. At 18 months, Baby can understand many things that we say and ask her to do, in English, Mandarin, Cantonese and Malay. Her vocab is also improving by the day. She’s also showing more and more signs that the Terrible Twos is approaching. She loves to throw tantrums and wants things done her way.…
Baby C’s First Playground Outing
You will be shocked if I tell you that at almost 18 months, Baby C only had her first outing to the playground last week. For the first 14 months of her life, my mornings and evenings were spent feeding her antibiotics and supplements. She ain’t the easiest baby to feed meds and it took…
Math – Too Difficult For 6-Year Olds?
Once again, do you think these equations are a tad too difficult for 6-year olds? Do note that the boxes are everywhere in the equations and I think that this is confusing the child coz sometimes they need to subtract and sometimes add in order to get the answer for the box. I explained the…
Mac N Cheese With Tuna
Mac n cheese is one dish that my girls will never ever get fed up with. Most of the time, I cook it for them from scratch using their formula milk powder or fresh milk, butter, cheddar cheese and grated parmesan cheese. But sometimes I use San Remo instant Macaroni Cheese (supposedly no MSG). The…
Business Ideas
I have loads of business ideas on my mind right now. I miss the days where I can earn a few thousand ringgit a month working from home doing paid posts. With the global economic downturn, almost everyone has been hit hard, including bloggers like me who blog for money. The more I see my…
My Little Rascal Who Amuses Me Non-Stop
One afternoon, as usual, the ever hyper-active rascal #2 just didn’t want to take her afternoon nap despite umpteen threats and nagging from me. And she was disturbing Baby coz I was trying to put Baby to sleep. She kept telling me that she’s not sleepy and walked up and down the house and self entertained herself. Alycia…
Happy Kids = Messy House
My hubs who is a neat freak always complains that our house is in a perpetual mess. He expects to step into a house where everything is spick-and-span and everything is placed where it should be. He seems to have an OCD with neatness and always tidies the house, keeps our things and throws my…
