Breastfeeding, pt 3 – Weaning.
10 Oct 2011I didn’t expect to wean Nate. I had ideally planned to let him outgrow the need on his own naturally. If I wasn’t pregnant, I know I would still be breastfeeding. I started by reducing 1 feed at a time — he was still having 3 — when I was 6 weeks pregnant. It was [...]
Mother’s Day 2011.
7 May 2011Tonight the Husband played chef again to his mousey wifey — and family too — for a sequel of his successful crabbilicious cheesy crabs to celebrate my 2nd year of being a Mommy. My Mom loves crabs too, so this was a big treat for me us all with 5 crabs over 2kg. Since my [...]

SAHM, The Misconception.
26 Apr 2011If you haven’t already know what the acronym above means, SAHM is short for Stay At Home Mom. And, if you haven’t already know — that is my label too — I am blessed with this opportunity since the birth of our darling Tiger. What’s the misconception? Generally it is what it says it is: [...]

Starting Solids, pt 4 – Daily Staple.
In: Baby Natey|Baby Natey: 13-18 Months|Baby Natey: Starting Solids|Motherhood
1 Apr 2011For the first 2 months of introducing new foods to Natey, he “enjoyed” everything at its purest (taste) in forms of purees. By 8mo it was time to add a little rice — we are Asians after all — and introduce meat to the menu. That’s how I started cooking porridge for him everyday. Meal [...]
This is our 13th month! For half of that time, Natey was fully breastfed before he started his solids at 6mo. For 6 months, he survived on nothing — except that few weeks of supplement *boo* — but his Mommy’s milk *beams* In the beginning 2 cells became one, he grew and fed within me [...]
BabyNatey 34: Daily Routine.
18 Jan 2011Establishing a Routine With the classic 555 Note Books Natey was 5 days old when we brought him home from the hospital. You would have to agree that being a new Mommy is overwhelming. And very often than not, we become extremely forgetful. Especially when it comes to breastfeeding: Which breast did I offer just [...]

5 Jan 2011It’s not a lie when the saying goes that a picture paints a thousand words. The 2 below says so much more. That’s my summary for 2010. No words can narrate it any better, don’t you agree?

Pureen Hypo Allergenic Detergent.
14 Nov 2010Standing Proud and Green NP: RM17.50, Warehouse Price: RM13 My Verdict: We bought our first 2 bottles of HAD last Nov — I was 30wks then — at Pureen’s Warehouse Sale. It was selling at RM10 each, a definite super saver! But unfortunately today, at the same sale again, inflation has finally taken its course. [...]

In: Baby Natey|Baby Natey: 7-9 Months|Baby Natey: Starting Solids|Motherhood
28 Oct 2010It seems like only yesterday that Natey took his 1st feed as a newborn. Then came the 1st solid meal at 6 months. Now at 8 months, he is having 3 solid meals a day albeit only 1oz each. For the past 2 months, we’ve tried a handful of first foods: Avocado, Baby Cereal, Pumpkin, [...]

The Smart Move Groove Illustrations by Georgie Birkett Besides the illustrations, I love that they [...]
