A Mother’s Monologue

Once upon a time, she designed buildings and interiors of corporate offices and on the rare occasion, homes. Now, she cleans poop and is student of a patience management course. From the drawing board as a London Architect to the realities of Motherhood, she has certainly learned many lessons in humility. And then others.....

To succeed in the corporate world, first succeed with your kid as the happy boss. Seriously.

This blog is about Mamapumpkin: A crazy, demented Mom who cares full time, alone, without any help, for an even crazier preschooler AND a baby with a boob addiction problem.

She writes anything that comes out of her head, mostly without thinking first, which almost always gets her into trouble (according to her husband, whom she considers the love of her life.......on a good day).

Her 2 pet monkeys drive her towards challenge after challenge, 24/7. Day after Day.....and by the way, her parents are Muslim, her in-laws Buddhist, she's Catholic and her Hubs, an Atheist. She's thinking her kids should be Hindu, just to complete the rainbow religion cycle.

Gotta love it.

Removing acne scars

By Mamapumpkin, on February 6th, 2010

When I was a teenager, we had a Filipino helper who had very bad acne scars on her face. My mother had suggested she try some aloe vera on her face every night to lessen the discolouration. Those days, we lived in a bungalow with a garden and lots of space to host aloe vera plants all over the place. These days, I have only one pot of aloe vera in my planter box. Well, it worked! After 6 months of religiously applying the natural acne treatment, her scarring cleared and she looked as good as new.
