HELP!!!! I have been breastfeeding T2 exclusively since the day she was born. She refuses the bottle so she has been by my side pretty much ALL THE TIME. Except for the once or twice that I snuck out for a quick breather,.......click to learn what next.

Where do I start? *taps fingers* When was the last time I was online? *scratches head* OK, let's just do some random updates. Tee started school on a great footing. I'm pretty sure she'll be teacher's pet soon. She was the only kid.......click to learn what next.

Entertainment for babies who cannot yet sit

Posted on December 31, 2009 by Mamapumpkin

We have baby mobiles all over the house. What else do babies love apart from seeing people faces everyday, smiling and talking and cooing? Ceiling fans! Yes, babies absolutely love ceiling fans. They love watching the fins go round and round and round,.......click to learn what next.

A trip to Florida

When we stayed in Florida last, we had a great discount from one of Tok-Tok's affiliate hotels but Tee remembers it with regret as the lifts were not working and the emergency staircase completely freaked her out! Next time round, we'll try to.......click to learn what next.

Is enough to send any Mom to *biting fingernails*..........fill in the blanks. Well, if you had a kid like my Tee, you'd be on the brink of insanity and praying for school to start. And thank goodness it starts in a week because.......click to learn what next.

Getting your children baptised

Posted on December 27, 2009 by Mamapumpkin

I never knew it was going to be such a painful process here. The Catholic Churches in Malaysia are really, really strict and impose so many rules and demands that it makes it almost impossible to make my girls Christian! I might as.......click to learn what next.

Nine West wedges

I bought this gorgeously comfortable pair of wedges in November from Lot 10 whilst Tee was having her piano concert rehearsal that day. So much for being an impulse shopper. I loved it because it was quite unique in that the leather straps.......click to learn what next.

Posted on December 27, 2009 by Mamapumpkin

I used to date a dentist who now practises in London for 7 years. Unfortunately, we got hit by the 7 year itch and I dumped him for a friend of his. Oops. He was very strong about it though and remained good friends.......click to learn what next.

T2 fell ill 3 weeks ago with a dry cough which quickly turned into a wet cough and then a cough with a runny nose. No fever, thank God! So much for an exclusively breast fed baby. Totally over-rated. I saw the Doctor.......click to learn what next.

We love holidays because it creates memories away from home that we cherish. Not to say we don't cherish memories that are created at home but being away offers the mind a change in scenery. A change in perspective. A change of air........click to learn what next.

Posted on December 27, 2009 by Mamapumpkin

If you happen to like any of the COACH bags that Tee carries, please contact the Bagskaki people to ask about them. They have all been used once or twice and are in very good condition. Talking about Coach bags, have you visited.......click to learn what next.

Curb eating habits

Posted on December 27, 2009December 27, 2009 by Mamapumpkin

I've noticed that the reason I cannot control my food intake is directly in proportion to the things my Mother says to me about my weight and my eating habits. It is almost most definitely that I am a comfort food emotional eater........click to learn what next.
