Posted on July 18, 2013 by Mamapumpkin

It's official. I've done the stats. I've been hanging around Moms since T1 was 6 months old, that's a database collection of 500 Moms thereabouts and man, it is so hard to find a Mom I can relate to completely. Really. Most Moms just don't get it. I'm.......click to learn what next.

Change is the only constant

Language fun in the car

Returning to the core

This past year (June 2012 - June 2013) has been busy. So busy till I've lost myself.

Myanmar, here we come again!

Posted on June 17, 2013 by Mamapumpkin

Every time I tell T1 that we are going to Yangon, her eyes open wide and I feel her heart fluttering. The girl absolutely loves it there. Why? Because she gets to spend one on one special time with Mama. And she gets to drink 100 Plus since.......click to learn what next.

Heck, is there such a thing? I'm certainly not getting it at the moment! Let's see, I work an average of 18 hours per day and it's driving me a bit nuts. I could do it back in the day when I was single and child-less but mannnnnnnnnnnnn..............I.......click to learn what next.
