Posted on April 15, 2012March 25, 2012 by Mamapumpkin

Who knows what the playground rules are in KL??? I ask because many a time, my kids are confronted with playground challenges. Today, T1 wanted to get onto a swing but the kids were hogging the swing like they owned it. She came.......click to learn what next.

My Little Munchkin

Posted on April 13, 2012March 17, 2012 by Mamapumpkin

This girl, what can I say? She is a little terror! The Hubs always says that in our house, there is the Thinker and there is the Enforcer. Who do you think is whom? Well, T2 is definitely the Enforcer because whenever she.......click to learn what next.

Hello Kitty Car

Posted on April 12, 2012March 17, 2012 by Mamapumpkin

I've never been a Hello Kitty fan. What's so cute about the big faced cat that's completely overpriced? But T2 kind of likes Hello Kitty so she was pretty amazed at the life sized Hello Kitty Mini Minor showcased at The Pavilion last.......click to learn what next.

Buying gifts for kids

Posted on April 10, 2012 by Mamapumpkin

I really don't like buying gifts for kids but yet I love giving gifts to kids. Get it? I just don't like commercial gifts. So if you don't get a toy from me, I am sorry. You might get a pre-loved toy or.......click to learn what next.

Posted on April 10, 2012March 17, 2012 by Mamapumpkin

Last year, I was fortunate to be invited by T1's school to attend one of their programmes with children that were meant to spark the entrepreneurial spirit within all the kids. It was one of the most fantastic experiences! As an employer, I wanted to.......click to learn what next.

Lately, the idea of homeschooling has surfaced and I have been actively researching it. There are many misconceptions of homeschooling in Malaysia and before one makes any assumptions, one should really do some reading about it before allowing your eyeballs to bulge out.......click to learn what next.

Angry Bird Party

Posted on April 8, 2012March 11, 2012 by Mamapumpkin

Angry Bird seems to have fizzled out quite a bit, huh? When I first played it, I was hooked for all of 2 weeks. I get bored easily......I will play like crazy until I win, then quickly lose interest. But when Angry Bird.......click to learn what next.

Villamaria Pre-School

Posted on April 6, 2012March 11, 2012 by Mamapumpkin

The Hubs and I have heated arguments over sending T2 to school. He feels she is still too young, or really too tiny, to attend school. I'm telling him that despite her size, she'd be ruling the classroom! He prefers the British Nanny.......click to learn what next.

Inhibiting you child’s creativity

Posted on April 5, 2012April 4, 2012 by Mamapumpkin

Some children are naturally born creative. Some are not. But that's not to say that creativity cannot be developed or Edward De Bono would be out of business. If you were to give some children some generic toys such as building blocks, or.......click to learn what next.

My Little Dare Devil

Posted on April 4, 2012March 11, 2012 by Mamapumpkin

T2 has always been a dare devil. Foolishly fearless. Yup. She'd jump off a cliff if you asked her to. For the fun of it! Whilst in Kota Bharu, the girls each had their size appropriate bicycles (me included, heh! Remember??) But after.......click to learn what next.

Girls Playing Dress Up

Posted on April 3, 2012March 11, 2012 by Mamapumpkin

Every girl loves dressing up. I certainly had my fair share of dress up sessions from when I was 7 (dressing up my brother, heh!) till I was 14 (dressing up and posing with friends). My girls have started too, and initially they.......click to learn what next.

The Suite at The Danna, Langkawi

Posted on April 2, 2012 by Mamapumpkin

Another gripe I have of The Danna is again for their website designed for geniuses only. Seriously, it is NOT a user friendly website. Thankfully for us, we didn't make our own bookings or I would have gone ballistic! There is too much.......click to learn what next.

Sisters Chatting

Posted on April 2, 2012March 11, 2012 by Mamapumpkin

I love it now that T2 can talk and understand, makes her demands known and throws ideas across. Thank you, Hayley! And I love it when my girls communicate. I find it fascinating, the stuff they chat about. I am so proud to.......click to learn what next.

Exercise at Fit For 2 Mommy and Baby Cafe

Ever since the Fit For 2 Cafe was conceived when I was first 7 months pregnant with T1, we'd been already attending classes at the Mont Kiara International School back in the day. T1 has friends who were still in their Momma's bellies.......click to learn what next.
