Thankful Tuesdays: Stuck

This little boy has been severely constipated.  We've noticed a trend the past few months where he'll start holding his poop in whenever we have someone visiting or when there are changes in routines.  We had one extremely bad case after Baby J came along and the in-laws...

Monday Made: Cards for a cause

Ok, am back again!  I've mentioned previously that I was involved in designing cards and preparing for a fund-raiser some time ago.  A whole group of ladies from the Breast Cancer Support Group in Tan Tock Seng Hospital got together and spent an entire afternoon making...

Weekend wanderings: Packed

Just the face to suit the quote on the onesie!The hubby's parents flew down on Friday and an extremely packed weekend ensued, which included::: Getting the lil boy's bilirubin level's checked.  Poor kid has breast milk jaundice like his brother, and has been getting poked every...

Foodie Fridays: The fastest lunch ever (Omelettes)

Nowadays, with baby to mind, lunch has to be something that doesn't require a long time to cook.  There are times where I've had to either carry/nurse a fretting Baby J while cooking, so anything that takes 15 minutes or less to cook is ideal!So on busy days, omelettes are the...

Today...

:: Junior J turns 34 months.  2 months shy of turning 3!  He has in the past month, "blossomed", if I may use such a term on a boy.  He's started to have a much better appetite, and can feed himself his entire meal on most days.  Looking at him slurping down his...

Thankful Tuesdays: The ministry of the mundane

I woke up this morning, did my quiet time and read this verse:"So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God."- 1 Corinthians 10:31The stay home mum and/or homemaker's job is challenging and many a times, a thankless task.  After all, most days,...

Monday Made: A baby book for my big boy

I've been intending to complete this little book for Junior J for quite awhile.  Its a book all about him when he was a baby, with pictures and journalling about all the little quirks he had when he was that tiny wee thing...But of course, the preggie tiredness and everything...

Life goes on

Yesterday started as per normal.  Waking up at 6 plus to feed and change baby.  Showering and getting breakfast ready, then waking Junior J up and getting him fed.  Everything was running like clockwork until Baby J decided to do a mega poop, and in the midst of my...

Thankful Tuesdays: The little sparks that light

I have been feeling rather down lately.  "Stick and stones can break my bones, but words can never hurt me"?  I've found that words can hurt, and they can break a person.  They can rub raw.  They can nibble at your heart and suck up happiness.  Those "I'm...

Happy weekend!

I don't know about you, but I am so glad that the weekend is here!  Perhaps we'll have picnics and yummy spreads:Junior J inspecting the spread of food that he and his friend, S has "prepared" for their "restaurant",during a recent playdate.  After all the food is ready,...

Thinking Thursdays: Tot Trays

We've never been really structured about Junior J's learning, and ever since Baby J came along, there has been even less time to plan learning activities for the boy.  So we've been spending a lot of time reading and learning to read, and as usual, the little boy gets...
