My husband, the nagger

Posted on August 2, 2011July 31, 2011 by Mamapumpkin

It's amazing. My husband is a nagger. He nags about how I spend money all the time. Now that I'm working, I have started spending a bit more and can you believe it, even when it is my hard earned money, he STILL nags me about it!!! Freaking.......click to learn what next.

Daddy the fancy fish chef

Posted on June 2, 2011May 29, 2011 by Mamapumpkin

Whenever we go on holiday, the biggest problem we have with the baby is food. T2 is completely unadventurous when it comes to food so when we were in Perth last year, we had to be really creative in feeding her ANYTHING. Everyday, for breakfast, Daddy had to.......click to learn what next.

Buying expensive watches

Posted on May 28, 2011 by Mamapumpkin

Recently the Hubs had to go get his watch repaired. When I found out how much it cost to repair the watch, I questioned why he didn't just get a new one instead! It just wasn't worth repairing! Thankfully, we have a relative who is high up in.......click to learn what next.

Signing my life away

Posted on April 26, 2011April 19, 2011 by Mamapumpkin

This evening, the Hubs passed me some papers to sign and I signed them quickly without question. Did I care? No, of course not. I trust him, right? For that, I was told off because he insisted that I READ everything that I sign BEFORE putting my signature.......click to learn what next.

My New Maid

Posted on January 16, 2011January 17, 2011 by Mamapumpkin

You didn't think I actually hired a new Filipino helper, did you? This was the Hubs trying his best to put T2 to sleep in a sarong, which she absolutely refused. Anybody wants a sarong contraption? Pregnant ladies? T2 wouldn't use it because we only put her in.......click to learn what next.

Babies love climbing stairs

Posted on January 11, 2011January 11, 2011 by Mamapumpkin

Now why is that? We have no stairs at home so I was really surprised when T2 took to the stairs like a duck to water when we arrived in Perth in a house with a staircase! She was a natural! She didn't know how to come back.......click to learn what next.

Why we can never nap…..

Posted on January 7, 2011January 7, 2011 by Mamapumpkin

One day when the Hubs took care of the kids, he got extremely sleepy (read exhausted) and crashed on the living room floor but guess what? If you think he could have stolen a nap, think again because my kids? MY kids? They would never allow it. No.......click to learn what next.

Daddy is losing more hair…..

Posted on December 7, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

Last month, Daddy celebrated his birthday on Guy Fawkes. We're an easy birthday remembrance family. Daddy was born on Guy Fawkes, Mommy was born on St Patrick's Day, T1 shares the same birthday as Roald Dahl and Stella McCartney (there! I always  knew she had a good future!) and T2.......click to learn what next.

Bring out your Advent calendars!

Posted on November 29, 2010November 29, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

It is officially Christmas month tomorrow! We ended up with 4 Advent Calendars eventually, one for each of us I guess. Even T2 gets to eat chocolate. Oh, she is going to be so happy. We decided that this year, we were going to go Western. Thanks to.......click to learn what next.

The Inefficient Mom

Posted on November 28, 2010November 28, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

Exactly one or two months ago (OK, did you notice how exactly can NOT go with one or two?), the Hubs asked me EXACTLY (here I go again) what I do with my time at home with a baby??? For the longest time, I've been complaining to him.......click to learn what next.

Staring at my breasts….

Selamat Hari Raya Haji to all of you who celebrate and for the rest of you, I hope you enjoy the holiday today! Oops. I just realised that the title of this post doesn't quite go with a sacrificial religious celebration, does it? Oh, what the hell. God.......click to learn what next.

The French Pout

Posted on September 17, 2010September 17, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

Every night, my head eventually falls onto my pillow at about 3-3.30am as I can only get online after the kids are in bed and since the school holidays, T1 has been going to bed preeeeeeetty late. Grrrr.....but she is on holiday. This morning, I was the last.......click to learn what next.

One difference between a male and a female!

Posted on August 12, 2010August 10, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

For those who don't know the Hubs and I, the story goes that I single-handedly picked him out from a sea of eligible, good-looking men, and scanned him from top to toe, inside and out, inerts and all; before I went ALL OUT TO MAKE HIM MINE!!! And.......click to learn what next.

Great mens ties

Posted on August 6, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

Unfortunately for me, the Hubs never wears ties if he can help it. Buying mens gifts are so difficult. Their wardrobes are so basic and the only thing I can think of getting them are mens ties, socks or cuff links; and the Hubs already doesn't wear two.......click to learn what next.

Allergic to dust

Posted on August 6, 2010August 6, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

I get sinus and asthma attacks on a daily basis now due to the dustiness of my house. It's incredible!!! I just want to die!!! Yet, the Hubs insist that we cannot afford to get a helper right now, not even a part-time helper and that he will.......click to learn what next.
