It has been more than six months since I last blogged. It has been a tiring and taxing months after the arrival of the boy. With so much to juggle – preparation of meals, feeding the boy, watching over the kids, reading and playing with the kids, washing and cleaning the kids and the house, and...
My baby is now a toddler. He is now more expressive and he loves to be out and about. He starts to learn to climb the stairs just outside my parents’ place when he starts to stand up on his own. He started off taking careful and slow steps. After more than a month of almost daily...
We rarely sign Dot up for her kindergarten enrichment programmes as the timing of the programs are usually held during Dot’s afternoon nap. BEEP ArKIDecture program caught my eyes when I saw the slip of paper in Dot’s file early this year. I googled and found BEEP handbook. I briefly read through the handbook and it got me...
With the arrival of a new baby, time is not on my side. I don’t have the luxury of time to seek out good books for Dot to read. This responsibility of choosing books fall on my husband now, though at time I will still ask him to help me to borrow some books for myself...
I have to admit that anything that is natural and organic will catch my attention. When my friend approached me to help her to review her new 100% natural and organic skincare products that contain no synthetic chemicals, no parabens, and no phenoxyethanol, I agreed without hesitation. As the skin readily absorbs whatever that we apply...
After growing wheatgrass with soil, growing wheatgrass without soil is really easy and requires minimum maintenance. The nutritional differences between those grown with soil at the early stage of growth are negligible as a major percentage of their mineral value comes from the seed itself. In 9-12 days, the wheatgrass is ready to be harvested...

A few weeks ago, I overheard a conversation a dad had with his baby in the diapering room. He was explaining to his daughter step by step what he was doing and what impressed me was that he seems be enjoying his time with his baby. I never really realize how important it is to...
This post is written by Dot’s daddy When I was a child, one of my favorite outdoor adventures was catching little fishes with my school friends after our classes. Whenever I share these childhood stories with Dot, she will always ask me to bring her there to fish. I decided to bring her for a...
“Mommy, why am I alone? I have no one to play with at home?” Dot, then about three years old, compared herself with the friends whom she usually played with. Dot had been longing for a sibling for a while and had been asking us to have another baby. When I told her that I...
Dot takes birthday celebration very seriously. To her, a birthday boy or girl must have a birthday cake and a present. She planned and prepared her dad’s birthday celebration almost single-handedly that day. On the day of her dad’s birthday, she decorated and prepared a present for her dad – a box filled with things that...
Re-learn how to care for an infant It has been a month since Daniel is born and he is fast outgrowing the clothes that he used to be able to put on a few weeks ago. His 0-6 month rompers are a bit tight to put on him now. From 2.966kg to 4kg, it’s time...
Daniel is now three weeks old. Whenever I look at my little prince, I just can’t believe that I have a second child. Being a mom to a newborn again is so surreal. “Mommy, now you have two children.” Dot will exclaimed with excitement and delight several times during the day. She is drumming into my...
