The biggest challenge of a woman

Posted on April 22, 2011 by Mamapumpkin

I think I am about to face it. Working successfully (until I get equity) and having kids (making sure they end up as quality kids - what is that? I'll define that another day), running some online portals (of which I have a boss!), regular writing assignments already.......click to learn what next.

Choosing who to invite for a kid’s party

Posted on April 22, 2011April 18, 2011 by Mamapumpkin

T1 is a popular girl. More often than not, she gets invited to many parties. However, I've noted more than once that not everyone else is. In fact, one student hardly ever gets invited to any parties! Which brings me to this - should we invite everyone or.......click to learn what next.

Today, I heard some women bitch about a 'friend' of theirs being left behind on the shelf. I, for one, know many friends who are 40 and single, and living it up! I resented the fact that these women were stereo-typing people who were not married and making.......click to learn what next.

Friendship with an agenda

Posted on April 12, 2011 by Mamapumpkin

Don't you just hate it? People who befriend you with a hidden agenda? I've met a lot of people in my life and many a time, I have come across what we define as a social climber and boy, do we have many of those in KAY EL!!!.......click to learn what next.

Tomorrow, I will be interviewing a prospective nanny that I hope will get along with T2. We are not looking into hiring full time live in help because we are so done with that. As it is, I already have Indonesian cleaners and a separate Filipino ironing lady.......click to learn what next.

How to get long eye lashes

Posted on April 11, 2011April 4, 2011 by Mamapumpkin

The Chinese believe that should you cut (or rather, TRIM) your baby's eye lashes, they will grow longer and curvier. I have witnessed this in friends' kids but haven't/hadn't the guts to do it with my own kids. But then again, their natural eye lashes are long and.......click to learn what next.

This thing called fate

I’m from a Top University

Not that it means jack but hey, UCL (University College London), where I sold my soul to cigarettes and architecture (and never slept), is at NUMBER FOUR as of last year's (2010) University rankings after Cambridge, Harvard and Yale.
