Did you know that men nest as well when there is an impending baby on the cards?
It’s funny how you assume that because this is the second baby, it will be a teeny weeny bit less exciting than the first, but no. Apparently not.
The Hubs, my darling Hubs, is as excited as I am, even [...]

Whaddya know?! I always knew it wasn’t me!! It was [...]

Daddy, my lovely Daddy…..
By: Mamapumpkin on: Nov 25,2008 In: Simply Motherhood, Small Pumpkin, Square Pumpkin, Tee, my little pumpkin, The HubsTee and her father, they have this wonderful relationship which is completely separate from mine with her. I am the mother. I shower her with love and attention, abundantly. I shower her with scoldings and naggings, just as opulently. But when push comes to shove, it is always, always the mother that children come back [...]
Clearly, we have no space. In fact, I have been selling stuff and I still have so much more stuff to sell! But that is another story altogether.
The Hubs said today that he was planning to knock down our bedroom bookshelves and build a ceiling height piece of joinery to incorporate our new TV - [...]
Complete honesty between man and wife
By: Mamapumpkin on: Oct 2,2008 In: The Hubs, What's between my ears?I asked the Hubs what he thought made a wonderful wife. 36 hours later and 5 presses for an answer, he finally responded.
With caution albeit.
His first answer was “YOU’RE a wonderful wife!”
Liar.
Apparently…….a wonderful wife would:
Take care of him in times of sickness. Check.
Take care of his precious little Tee with her life. Check. I think?
Wash [...]
Have you ever wondered how complicated it is to transport art? art moving is truly an art in itself as I can profess.

“Why does Daddy have to go to Bahrain, Mommy?” *sob-sob*

“Because he has work to do in Bahrain.”

When to teach your child how to change a spare tyre

Initially, Tee had said she didn’t want to go because it was going to be smelly at the tyre shop with all the exhaust fumes [...]
Who is Mamapumpkin?
Once upon a time, I designed buildings and interiors of corporate offices and on the rare occasion, homes. Now, I clean poop and am student of a patience management course. From the drawing board as a London Architect to the realities of Motherhood, I have 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 me, 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. *sniff* Someone, please get me a chair.......
I write anything that comes out of my head, mostly without thinking first, which almost always gets me into trouble (according to my husband, also known as the love of my life.......on a good day).
My pet monkeys drive me towards challenge after challenge, 24/7.
Gotta love it.
