Baby was so sleepy that she dozed off on her potty while watching Barney. It was way past 10pm and I had just finished spoon-feeding her with formula milk. Notice the little pail on the floor? I sometimes have to put this ‘vomit pail’ on standby coz this fler has a tendency to spew out the regurgitated milk half…
Here’s another of my mil’s creations: Carrot cake with cream cheese, lemon and roasted pistachios for the health conscious. It is almost oil-free (with no butter or oil used) except for the low-fat Philadelphia cream cheese as topping and is flour-reduced and sugar-reduced. Mil chopping the pistachios, ready to srpinkle them over the cake which…
Happy Mother’s Day to all you great ladies out there who are mothers. Today is OUR day, we really deserve a big pat on our back and we deserve to have this day to ourselves doing nothing but to let our hair down, chill out, go shopping, go to our favorite restaurant, watch our favorite…
After about 9 months of once weekly swimmng lessons (which were held very irregularly with a several months hiatus in between), Alycia can finally swim breast stroke on her own from one end of the pool to the other. This girl just loves swimming and she has been telling me that she wants to be…
Today marks the first anniversary of my sweetie-pie’s first surgery, a complicated 5-hour Ureteral Reimplantation surgery. For the past 1 week, I really cannot help but keep reminiscing the days leading to her first ever surgery exactly a year ago. As I browsed through my picture folder this morning and viewed the pix of Baby…
These are some dishes that my mil cooked for dinner: Braised chicken with potatoes. And stir-fried red and yellow bell peppers, french beans and ‘kai paye koo’ (chicken drumstick fresh mushrooms). It’s called ‘kai paye koo’ as the huge mushroom stems resemble chicken drumsticks! I love them and so do #2 and #3 but not #1…
Alycia comes back from school at around 4pm twice a week. On days when she comes home late, she will be served a light lunch as dinner will be served early on those days. In school, she will grab a quick bite (nuggets, cakes, buns, biscuits) before she hurries off to her enrichment class. This…
After a hectic day of purging out 4 long online assignments with 1 more to go (not the easy to write 60 words ones ok!), processed 10 orders from my online store today, coached Alycia in her revision (1 more week to her first term exam – STERESSSSS!), entertained my boobs-addict 2yo toddler, put them…
The other reason why I am planning to buy a new mattress is because our old mattress has been soiled with pee, poop and vomit from our 3 babies! We have never washed our decade-old king size mattress as we don’t have a vacuum cleaner that can wash mattresses. The only way I cleansed it…
Sherilyn is down with cough and has pretty bad phlegm. She skipped school yesterday as her school has issued a notice to all parents to keep their kids at home should they have fever, cough or runny nose. This notice was issued in the light of the recent H1N1 scare. Today, I feel like my…
When Organic Samm wrote in Facebook that her 7-year old son comes back from school with charcoal black hands, knees and clothes everyday, I wonder what her son has been doing in school. Now I am wondering what my so-called well bahaved Alycia is doing in school too coz she also comes home with charcoal…
A goldsmith once told me that gold doesn’t tarnish and even the strongest acids have no effect on it. Thus, gold lasts forever and stays shiny all the time. In Chinese culture, wearing gold jewellery is believed to bring lots of good luck. I have a male friend who has a jade ring put through…
Here’s Baby with her new bib: I have a large box filled up with Baby’s plastic bibs and this bib freak mommy is still adding more into her collection 😀 In this pic, Baby was eating organic spirulina noodles with homemade fish paste and sweet corns for lunch. Baby is having a ‘speech diarhhea’ now, purging…
Exactly 3 years ago, I first started out blogging as a bored to tears SAHM. For someone who is really IT-challenged, it really wasn’t easy for me to create a blog. I started everything from scratch, registered myself in a dozen of forums, read every article there was on Blogger, on SEO and codes (reading…
