Posted on November 1, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

I've been feeling rather blah lately. T2's not eating again and wakes several times a night (probably from hunger!) but every time I offer her a bottle of formula or food of any sort, she refuses it. I'm tired. So I leave you.......click to learn what next.

It has always been a mission of mine to adopt a child. Ever since I was a teenager and oh, please.....it has nothing to do with aspiring to be an Angelina Jolie (although I do like that chick). Unfortunately, when I threw the.......click to learn what next.

In hibernation, that is. I would like to apologise to those of you who would like to purchase some of my stuff and have queries but I have gone into hibernation. This means, I am not available. I deliver my most sincere apologies........click to learn what next.

Back to the Grind of being an SAHM

Posted on October 26, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

Oh yes, it was short lived, wasn't it? I'm now back to cleaning poop, spending all day trying to get some food into T2's mouth (which is a BITCH) and finding hidden cheerios under my couch and last week's baby bites under the.......click to learn what next.

This morning, bright and early, we picked T1 up from Nana's and brought her for her 6 year old booster jab. Don't ask me what it was for because I am hopeless at things like this. Which is kind of SCARY because how.......click to learn what next.

Removing a deep Blackhead

Posted on October 21, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

Honestly now, does anyone know how? Because I've had one deeply embedded beside my lip which just won't budge and it's been there for a few months now. I've tried pressing it out, it just wouldn't come out!!! What shall I do? Have.......click to learn what next.

Cranking it out at 4am

Unfortunately, despite having an all day sleep in with a screaming baby, Mama's got work to do and that is why at the unGodly hour of 4am, I am still awake typing crap. My brain is in the spin cycle of the washing.......click to learn what next.

Baby who doesn’t eat

Posted on October 21, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

I really don't know what to do with my baby. She is STILL not into food. She used to eat so well at one point and now, she's just snacking a little here and there. She seems heavier although I haven't really weighed.......click to learn what next.

Posted on October 21, 2010 by Mamapumpkin
