Yet another Kid’s PARTY!!!

Posted on December 1, 2008 by Mamapumpkin

I could easily write 30 posts on children's parties alone. Actually, make that a hundred, counting the ones we have been to since Tee was born! I can explain in detail how they were organised, what games were played, how kids were entertained, what food was served, party.......click to learn what next.

Daddy, my lovely Daddy…..

Tee 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,.......click to learn what next.

A great way to celebrate your birthday!!!

This is a true story. When Tee's Godpa in New York turned 40, he hired a Charter Bus Rental NYC for a whole 12 hours and invited all his friends in New York and from out of town to party ALL DAY and ALL NIGHT LONG on a.......click to learn what next.

My definition of a productive day

I woke up at 845am on a Sunday morning. What?? Yes, it's really me. Mamapumpkin on a Sunday morning. A changed person who no longer lies in till 11am. Get ready for the new me. I managed to flip through 2 whole girly magazines(Female and Harper's Bazaar, me.......click to learn what next.

Congratulations Al-Joharah!

Posted on November 21, 2008 by Mamapumpkin

It's nice to see more and more women up there in the world. Condoleezza Rice is really something, but for Al-Joharah, who is Muslim from a Muslim country gets up, even if it isn't as high up, it shows the world is changing. Slowly but surely.

Getting sick from the rain

Posted on November 20, 2008November 21, 2008 by Mamapumpkin

I chose to tempt fate yesterday. I don't know why I do what I do sometimes. It is a known fact tried and tested many a time, that whenever I get caught in the rain, even if it is the slightest drizzle, I will catch a cold and.......click to learn what next.

Asking for favours

Posted on November 19, 2008November 19, 2008 by Mamapumpkin

Where do you draw the line in asking someone for a favour? I am generally ok with people asking me DIRECTLY to babysit, do some free work for them, water their plants whilst they are on holiday, run an errand for them or pick their kid up from.......click to learn what next.

Post gone MIA

For the longest time, I hadn't been lucky enough to get some BGTV offers and suddenly, I got some yesterday. Thank you, God!! So today, I was busy making online sandwiches but funnily, the last filling lost it's top layer of sandwich which was really, really strange!!! I.......click to learn what next.

No more birthday parties from here on

Posted on November 19, 2008 by Mamapumpkin

Yes, we decided last night, the Hubs and I. What would really make him happy, and me too really, is that we no longer attend the many birthday parties that we have taken Tee to in the past. She will just have to adjust and learn that we.......click to learn what next.

Helping family out

Posted on November 19, 2008 by Mamapumpkin

Someone has asked me to give their children some PMR history tuition and initially, I thought ok why not. They have no other option and I thought I could help a little. But after thinking more about it, I was asking myself, just when exactly am I going.......click to learn what next.

Tee’s boring playdate

A friend of mine needed some babysitting today so I welcomed her girl to come over to play with Tee.Tee was initially very excited asking every five minutes if she was on the way but things very soon changed when she arrived. For the first hour of the.......click to learn what next.

I called for a family meeting

Posted on November 18, 2008 by Mamapumpkin

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.......click to learn what next.

The importance of family

Posted on November 18, 2008 by Mamapumpkin

This week, I have been thinking seriously about the family unit and what kind of family I want to build for Tee. As I come from a broken family and what the Hubs has isn't exactly my ideal either, I will develop my own special family; all for.......click to learn what next.
