Peek-a-boo In The Closet

Author: Shireen
I’m a 50+ mum of three grown daughters, now back in my beautiful hometown of Ipoh and slowly rebuilding a quieter, gentler life. After years between Ipoh and KL, I’ve returned to my roots to spend time with my parents in their 80s, my soul-healing cat, and the simple things that matter most. I blog and vlog about family life, home cooking, Ipoh food finds, and everyday moments that make this season of life meaningful.
I do product reviews and accept sponsored posts on my blogs.
I hope you'll enjoy reading my blog as much as I enjoy sharing my day-to-day adventures and mostly boring ranting :P
Thanks for being here. 💛

This is what I would normally do when #3 turns crabby when she’s up from her afternoon nap and #1 doesn’t want to get up from her nap: I’ll carry #3 to her jie jie’s bed and the reaction is almost magical. I would see smiles and hear giggling instantly. No fussing, no fretting, no temper…
Bye-Bye Cage

Last week someone bought the playpen that I had earlier advertised in my blog. Before we collapsed the playpen, we told Baby that we will be giving the playpen away. Baby seemed to understand what we were telling her and she was happy! Hubs then placed her inside the playpen for the last time and…
Last Day Of School
Posted on
Friday marked the last day of school for most students. Alycia and Sherilyn’s pre-school had a children’s day bash on that day. They didn’t have to wear uniform and were allowed to don on their best party clothes. Sherilyn who had long been yearning to wear her Princess Aurora costume which koo mah bought for…
My Little Vain Pot Who Loves To Smell Good
Posted on
Not only is Sherilyn vain, she even likes to smell good and feel good all over. After her shower each time, she would insist on putting talcum powder all over her body and face, yes face… which makes her look really ridiculous haha! After applying talcum powder, she slathers lotion all over her body. Remember the talcum powder boo…
My Independent Little Rascal
Posted on
Alycia and Sherilyn are both pretty independent. They prefer to do things like taking their shower on their own, choosing their clothes themselves, choosing their own plate, bowl, cup and cutlery, washing up after pee and poo on their own, than having kakak or me helping them. As for Sherilyn, she even cuts her finger nails and toe nails…

Monkey See Monkey Do…. Again!

At almost 5 years old, Sherilyn still sucks her thumb! She sucks it when she is bored, when watching the tellie and when she sleeps. Each time we catch her sucking her thumb, we will say “STOP sucking your thumb!”. And each time Baby hears us reprimanding her jie jie, she will deliberately stick her finger /…
Another Easy-To-Cook, One Pot Meal
Posted on
Another easy-to-cook meal that I love to dish out whenever I am in a lazy mood to cook is pork ribs porridge / chicken porridge. The other day I cooked porridge with ‘siu cee kuat’ (roast pork ribs), porks ribs, lin cee (dried lotus seeds) and dried oysters. When it’s cooked this way, my 3 little fussy eaters…
Big Dreams
Posted on
Several days ago, I finally moved my butt and did something that I had long dreamt to do but had kept procrastinating. I created a new gmail account and then proceeded to create a new Blogspot blog. I am going to sell some of my old-but-in-good-condition stuff in this blog. I also plan to sell…
On A Typical Day…

… this is what transpires at home: Baby will play with the house phone. We used to have a cordless phone but Baby kept playing and throwing it and it’s now spoilt. The cordless phone has since been replaced with our old non cordless phone. “Alo, alo, alo, dadee…..” Baby follows her samseng jie jie…
Locked Out
Posted on
Miss Itchy Fingers made another BIG boo boo. She locked the bathroom door of the master bedroom from outside and after searching through our bunch of keys, we realized that we did not have a key for that bathroom, BUMMER! I remembered reading about Ginnie’s blog post that she used her iPhone card to open…
Welcome Terrible Twos
Posted on
Yesterday, I caned Baby with the rotan (which is our back scratcher) for the first time. She has been driving me bonkers with her incessant climbing and nose-diving stunts from one sofa to the other. A few days ago, she fell down when she climbed up the dining table chair and had a blue-black bump…
