Children inheriting our genes

Posted on September 23, 2010September 20, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

Posted on September 22, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

For the last 10 years, one of my favourite radio stations in Malaysia have been Hitz because they are just so stupid and funny. Stupid in a good way. Don't get me wrong, I have liked other stations too for other reasons but if I were to choose.......click to learn what next.

My baby girl - the one who's given me so much more stress than I ever thought possible from a baby, is growing up fast. I just want to gather up all the time I have with her and put it into a bottle and SEAL IT FOREVER!.......click to learn what next.

The girl in denial

Posted on September 21, 2010September 21, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

Whilst revising her idioms a few months back (yes, I remember because I wrote it down!), T1 asked if her butt was as smooth as a baby's bottom. She always has to compete with her baby sister and wants to be equal if not better. At everything! I.......click to learn what next.

Spruce up your child's bed with a blue starry night sky in the form of the overhead tent. You know how kids love being enclosed? T1 really wanted this but we opted eventually not to get a single bed thus this cannot be used and was never used........click to learn what next.

How to get registered to vote in Malaysia

Posted on September 21, 2010September 21, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

I shamefully admit that in the last few elections, I did not vote. But now that I have kids, and the Government keeps screwing our education system left-right-center and everywhere in between, I want to vote. And I urge you to do the same. In the last elections,.......click to learn what next.

Posted on September 21, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

I've been wanting to do this for the longest time but with 2 children, 1 of which is a crawling baby, the moment I put something away, it comes back right out. It is a never ending project. We have such big plans to build more storage and.......click to learn what next.
