Drinking water during pregnancy

Posted on May 7, 2009May 4, 2009 by Mamapumpkin

Did you know that when you are pregnant, you are supposed to be consuming 2 to 3 litres of liquids per day??? If you're active, then 3 litres but if you're sedentary like myself, then 2 litres. Some days, I barely manage to accomplish 1 litre and that's.......click to learn what next.

Children eating raw carrots

Posted on May 7, 2009May 7, 2009 by Mamapumpkin

Thrice now, Tee has asked for some raw carrots. She has NEVER liked raw carrots so this is really a surprise for me. She is influenced by the TV and possibly from school but hey, I'm not complaining. I call her my little bunny and she crunches on.......click to learn what next.

Four year old rollerblading

Posted on May 7, 2009May 4, 2009 by Mamapumpkin

Tee has been wanting to skate or rollerblade ever since she was three. We got her a set of blades but decided they were just too dangerous and kept it away. Just last week, she saw the rollerblading rink outside Jungle Gym at BSC and wanted to have.......click to learn what next.

Do you have a dressing table?

Posted on May 6, 2009May 4, 2009 by Mamapumpkin

Every woman should have a dressing table. But I don't. And the only reason is because we do not have space for it. Never did. Lately, the Hubs has been getting on my nerves because he keeps nagging me to clear my study desk (which is what I.......click to learn what next.

Last weekend, the Hubs and I had a mission to give our bedroom a BIG spring clean. This meant hoovering the entire bedroom from ceiling to floor, to picture rails to the back of pictures, to curtain rails to fans and lights, to the backs of furniture to.......click to learn what next.

Playing RISK with a 4 year old

Posted on May 5, 2009May 4, 2009 by Mamapumpkin

After weeks of bugging us to play RISK with her, the Hubs finally relented. What does a little girl know about RISK? I used to be a RISK fanatic when I was in my teens for a good 10 years playing till the wee hours of the morning.......click to learn what next.

Heavy heart with tears in my eyes

Posted on May 5, 2009May 6, 2009 by Mamapumpkin

Today, I left Tee at Art Class (2 hours whilst I blog) and walked away in tears and a really heavy heart. Why? Shouldn't I be deliriously happy that I can lavish a whole 120 minutes to myself? It is her first proper class today and she is.......click to learn what next.

Pregnancy Brain Freeze

Posted on May 5, 2009May 5, 2009 by Mamapumpkin

It is no secret that when a woman is pregnant, she loses her brain cells. OK, even non-pregnant women experience that as I have discovered. On a daily basis, I drop things. If  I'm in the kitchen, I'd drop food whilst I'm cooking, or drop utensils, you name.......click to learn what next.

Children copying adults in speech

Posted on May 4, 2009May 4, 2009 by Mamapumpkin

I am probably the closest person in the world to Tee, in that we've had the most time alone together than anyone else; and this is pretty obvious when she speaks because she speaks exactly like me!!! Because she is a typical preschooler, she's always dawdling when we.......click to learn what next.

Upgrading wordpress 2.1 to 2.7

Posted on May 4, 2009 by Mamapumpkin

I am contemplating doing it but am so, so, soooooooo scared to do it. When you are an IT retard, this becomes a serious risk. Should I take the risk now? I'm going to have to do it sooner or later. Urgh! Today, I was so productive. When.......click to learn what next.

Because I had recommended a friend to the opening of this place in her area, today she sms'd me to ask where it was again but by then I had already deleted the details off my email and smartphone. Since I was in front of the computer, I.......click to learn what next.
