School Holidays
The mil came back from Hong Kong after being away for 4 months. As usual, she brought back lots of goodies from Hong Kong, New Zealand, Korea and Japan.

School Exam Results & UPSR Results
My Facebook news feed has been flooded with mummies posting about their kids’ school exam achievements and UPSR exam achievements for the last few days. UPSR 2016 results were announced yesterday.

Tomyam Pork

Alycia Learns Tennis
Yesterday was Alycia’s much-awaited first tennis lesson. She’s been longing to learn tennis for a long, long time.

Preventing Eczema Naturally
Our 3 girls had eczema on their faces during the first 6 months of their lives. Alycia’s eczema flare-ups were the worst of the 3 girls. Being a first time new mom, I trusted our pediatricians fully. They prescribed her with hydrocortisone cream and sure enough, the eczema would be tamed quickly as it contains…
