24 Jul 2010This book was 1st introduced to me by the writer herself, Jennifer during my confinement. I called her for a postnatal home visit — RM150 for 1.5hrs — to help me with my breastfeeding dilemma, and she was an enlightenment. Natey has been fully breastfed ever since! Sadly, I didn’t really pay attention when she [...]
Baby Sign Language, pt 1 – Book.
28 Jun 2010Baby Sign Language by Alison Mackonochie We bought this goodie yesterday at MPH Mid Valley for a steal price of RM19.90.

Cesar Millan, The Dog Whisperer.
7 Jun 2009My Verdict: I’ve learned a lot by watching the Dog Whisperer. Cesar has taught me everything from the very basic to the potential problems.
