The little patisserie chef at my home

Posted on October 5, 2007 by Mamapumpkin

Whilst playing with her new PlayDoh set today, Tee served me a little plate of bright pink dollops that resembled mini Hershey kisses. I have no clue how she got it into that shape. Wait....let me ask my Mom's maid. Oh.....she used a.......click to learn what next.

The art of sharing and giving without expectation

Posted on October 5, 2007October 5, 2007 by Mamapumpkin

One of the rare songs Tee loves that doesn't fall under the nursery rhyme category is Karma Chameleon. The girl has good taste. She goes around humming, red gold and gween.....red gold and gween.....kamakamakamakamakama chameleon......you come and go....you come and go....kamakamakamakamakama chameleon.......

October 31st is a Wednesday – Halloween party anyone?

Posted on October 3, 2007January 14, 2011 by Mamapumpkin

We know of a few Halloween parties around but I'm not sure if Tee is old enough to appreciate a Halloween party yet. It may freak her eyeballs out. I'm sure she'd love the candy part just as much as she'd love tricking.......click to learn what next.

Cleaning 1800 square feet of flooring in under two hours

That's what I did this morning. I don't usually do housework. It's a lifelong allergy. But this morning, Tee had a dribbling nose so we stayed home to have a lesson in housework instead. How fun, eh? Twelve years old. Nine more years. That's when.......click to learn what next.

Ring-ring! Hello? Hey…..! Where are you?

Do you know what I wish for? I wish that when I hover the mouse over any part of this blog, that it will spring a cloud to tell me exactly where the html code is for that particular section of the blog. FARK! *tearing hair.......click to learn what next.

101 Dalmations Party

Posted on October 2, 2007October 6, 2007 by Mamapumpkin

Last week Tee attended a themed party and insisted on dressing up as a Dalmation. I told her that it was impossible to find a Dalmation costume in Malaysia but she insisted she went as a Dalmation! Her logic was that if the.......click to learn what next.

Spanish Senorita attends her first hoity-toity event

Posted on September 30, 2007 by Mamapumpkin

Without a Nanny, I usually decline all forms of invitations to these type of events. But last week, I had to show face because I was 'supposedly' part of the organising committee, a useless non-contributor. It was the least I could do. To.......click to learn what next.

Another reason why I don’t have a maid

When we were in Australia, this maid complained that hoovering was too difficult. Especially with a hoover that keeps getting tangled in her little legs, was noisy and heavy. So her Nana got the little princess a new cordless hoover. See what happens when you.......click to learn what next.

Snippets from my little imp
