This is a continuation from my previous entry on how Coco ended up with an arm cast. So, other than waiting anxiously for the next follow-up appointment, what do we actually do with a tiny human arm encased in plaster? Dan and I have never had the misfortune of breaking a limb. Throughout their 30-over »

I’ve never been a fan of indoor play areas. The aversion is due to an article I read about a year plus ago, about how difficult it is to maintain a germ free environment in these places. Worst of all are the ball pens which draw little children like magnets. They are supposed to be »

This is one experience that all parents would probably want to keep at arm’s length. Last weekend, we found ourselves at the Children’s A&E at KKH. ******************** As it turns out, Coco is quite a feisty character and this 8 months-old’s greatest ambition right now is walking. For the past couple of months, she has »

As part of an ongoing ‘food blog’ thingy, I’d like to share some simple one-dish recipes I’ve been using when I’m feeling particularly tired and the thought of cooking a full dinner overwhelms me. ——————————————————————————————————————————————— ALL-IN CHICKEN LEG BAKE (From www.kidspot.com.au) I’ve made some slight variations to the original recipe, mostly in terms of quantity, »

It’s strange…I thought that after I quit my full-time job to be a stay-home mom, I’d be luxuriating in oodles of free time, enjoy wonderful, fun moments at home with baby, and be able to whip up all these fantastic meals for Cristan to enjoy. SO WRONG. What happened? Well, first of all, Cristan started »

fren·e·my [fren-uh-mee] noun Informal . a person or group that is friendly toward another because the relationship brings benefits, but harbors feelings of resentment or rivalry. Don’t get me wrong – I LOVE Coco deeply and I don’t think of her as my enemy (well, not most of the time anyway). But THIS is a different situation altogether: When she gets between me and my beauty sleep, my blanket (because she kicks it off) and »

April, April April. It’s that time of the year again: TO FILE INCOME TAX! If you haven’t done so, you have THREE more days to do it: 18 April is the last day. I’m not exactly the earliest bird either when it comes to finding out how much income tax I’ll have to pay, so »

I like how the book, “What to Expect: the First Year” describes Cristan’s current phase of development: “You applauded wildly your baby’s first successful attempt at pulling up, and cheered proudly from the sidelines as creeping finally became crawling. Now you’re wondering what all the celebration was about. Along with the new mobility has come »

Technology vs Human Touch Remember the time when the first computers were made commercially available and the promise was that with a computer, time and energy would be freed up to pursue other things in life, like having more time for interests and family? Doesn’t seem that the promise has materialized, has it? With technology »

It’s no fun when baby has a fever. Especially when it strikes out of the blue. Just recently, Tim remarked that Cristan was a pretty healthy baby as he hadn’t really fallen ill before. He must have jinxed it because soon afterwards, last Thursday to be exact, Cristan felt warm to the touch, and true »
