Home Birthday Celebration

Now THIS, is the epitome of a true birthday celebration. Not some big fancy-schmancy party with lots of people whom half the time you don't even know are your friends or not. Actually, why do people do that? Anyway, for T1's birthday last year, we invited ONE real.......click to learn what next.

Posted on January 15, 2012January 16, 2012 by Mamapumpkin

Out of all my pre-written posts, I thought I'd better put this one up before T1's birthday again in September this year. Because you know, that is very possible once things get busy and crazy around here. Last year, because I'd just started working, I told T1 -.......click to learn what next.

Tae Kwon Do Exam

Posted on December 6, 2011December 6, 2011 by Mamapumpkin

A few weekends ago, T1 was subject to her first TKD exam which merely promotes her from a white belt to a white belt with a yellow band. Not even a yellow belt. When I did TKD in my youth, with the same instructor, mind you, although now.......click to learn what next.

Home Made Puppet Show

Posted on December 2, 2011December 2, 2011 by Mamapumpkin

These school holidays, we decided not to enrol T1 in ANY holiday programmes because firstly, she didn't want to go to any. She said she's much happier staying at home and spending time with Mama (provided Mama takes the day off and spends time with her back) and.......click to learn what next.

Childhood friends

Posted on October 4, 2011September 29, 2011 by Mamapumpkin

Who is your longest childhood friend? Is she/he your best-est friend? I'm a sentimental old fart when it comes to friendship and have picked up many friends along the way. However, I've also lost many and wished that I'd been taught how to stay in touch at a.......click to learn what next.

My crazy kids……

Posted on October 2, 2011September 28, 2011 by Mamapumpkin

We used to have this Danish designer cot that neither of the girls ever slept in but they did use it to PLAY. They'd play all sorts of nonsense in it and now that we've sold it off, I've had to improvise nooks and crannies for them to.......click to learn what next.

The Biting Baby

Posted on October 1, 2011September 28, 2011 by Mamapumpkin

When I was a kid, I used to bite my brother. I used to follow him around whenever my parents weren't looking and attacked in a flash. Needless to say, my brother is terrorised for life. I guess it's genetic because T2 has a knack for biting. But.......click to learn what next.

Ideas For Play – the restaurant owner

Posted on September 13, 2011September 13, 2011 by Mamapumpkin

T1 and her impromptu spiel on Dettol

Posted on August 5, 2011 by Mamapumpkin
