Wordless Wednesdays: And this is?

Junior J is prolific when it comes to drawings. He churns out a couple of pieces a day, and we've noticed he's now started connecting shapes/colours/details of real objects with his drawings. We no longer get random orange squiggles that are supposed to be a volcanic eruption. He...

Thankful Tuesdays: Much needed rest

I came down with a cold over the weekend. Initially we thought it was just sinusitis from all that sneezing, but a nasty hacking cough followed. So yesterday, I thought it was best that I took a break from all the packing and cleaning... and ended up napping in the morning and in...

Friday Five: Lessons from an old kitchen

We've been enjoying our new kitchen! Before we give you a tour, I thought it would be interesting to show you how our old kitchen looked before we renovated it (we were packing up, hence the emptiness and messy counter):It served us reasonably well for the past eight years or so,...

Thankful Tuesdays: As the dust settles

Whew! Last week, we moved back to our home, after the kitchen was more or less done up. There's was still lots of things to unpack, and the house was more or less a disaster:And to top it off, our stuff from Germany suddenly arrived yesterday!So I've just been trying to clean and...

Friday Five: Renovation ramblings #1

Ok, so enough whining about how we can't wait for the renovations to be done. Here's some of the lessons we've learnt through renovating our home this round::: We opted to live with the existing toilet bowls when we first moved into our place eight years ago, so we didn't need to...

In search of baby soft skin

We had it pretty easy when it came to caring for Junior J's skin. His was low-maintenance, and nothing bothered him, save for the occasional mosquito bite. So we were at a loss initially when we had baby J, who had very sensitive skin and suffered from eczema. Hot weather made his...

Thankful Tuesday: We will survive

We're now into our 6th week of home renovations. What was supposed to be a four week thing has now been extended, due to various mistakes and changes. We've shifted out from our place, to my mum's, some time after moving back from Germany. Then we moved up to Penang to stay with...

Friday Five: Great expectations

I really can't believe that June has sped by and that we are nearing the end of the first week of July! Perhaps its been all that moving all around that has made time really speed past.:: This week, we brought the boys to the butterfly farm in Penang, and I think they enjoyed themselves....

One of the most used tools in our kitchen...

... is the hand-blender. It has been a life-saver especially when it comes to preparing baby food! When Junior J was a baby, we bought all sorts of weaning tools to prepare his food, only to abandon them for a hand-blender. After all, it didn't make sense to spend lots of time and...
