I called for a family meeting
By: Mamapumpkin on: Nov 18,2008 In: The Pumpkin life, What's between my ears?Yes, I did, and guess what? Almost everyone was on defense mode. Who’s calling this meeting? Who’s part of the family? Why are we having a meeting? What have I done wrong?
I’d realised exactly then, that I should have reworded it and said Family PARTY, instead of Family MEETING. *sigh* We live and learn.
I have [...]
The Man Who Planted Trees
By: Mamapumpkin on: Nov 16,2008 In: Small Pumpkin, The Pumpkin life, Tots ActivitiesWe went to watch the above at the Actor’s Studio and got to sit right up front on stage itself where we got completely frozen drenched! But the advantage was that we got to sniff first hand the scents of lavender and woody musk from stage.
Everyone else who went for the play were terribly surprised [...]
Home made chocolate cookies
By: Mamapumpkin on: Nov 15,2008 In: Mamapumpkin in the Kitchen, Tee, my little pumpkin, The Pumpkin life, Tots ActivitiesAnother boring day…..so I got out the old chocolates from the fridge that we hadn’t eaten and told Tee to cook them. You should have seen her eyes turn on. You know? Like a light switch. On-off-on-off. Bored, off. Cook chocolate, On!
We also melted some marshmallows but I wouldn’t recommend you try that. Very, very [...]

Tee attended a girly Princess Party
By: Mamapumpkin on: Nov 13,2008 In: Small Pumpkin, The Pumpkin life, Tots ActivitiesWhilst most girls would attend a girly princess party clad in their prettiest dresses, my darling daughter struts in with her pink hotpants.
Tee attended a dreamy romantic princess party with her Aunty Trina where 10 little girls got their hair washed and coiffed, nails painted, face painted, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera….
Thank you, Aunty Trina, for babysitting [...]
Just for the record, I have attended close to 30 birthday parties this year and just last weekend, had FOUR. You do the math.
I’m just saying……
It’s really quite ridiculous.

Hiring a helper for my own sanity
By: Mamapumpkin on: Oct 30,2008 In: Simply Motherhood, The Pumpkin life, What's between my ears?I’m 80% sure that by the end of this year, I’ll be filling in forms to hire a helper for the Lee Household. I’ve taken care of Tee single-handedly for a whole four years and feel that it is time. Despite the Hubs’s severe need for privacy around the home and despite his ache in [...]
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.
