My 2-and-a-half-year-old is the best medicine

I’m down with a terrible flu infection and heavily medicated but I’m still lucid enough to write this down before I go take a nap. Last night, I threw up the entire contents of my dinner after a terrible coughing fit. The kids came running to the toilet looking very concerned because they’ve never seen » Read More

Somebody needs to fix Facebook.

I was trying to upload pictures of our trip to Universal Studios on Facebook and I got to this page where the face recognition system groups all the faces that look alike into the same group for easy tagging. Apparently, both my kids look alike, which is hardly surprising seeing they came from the same factory. » Read More

And this is why it’s so fun to eavesdrop.

Overheard in the playroom: Tru: Mei mei, for you. *gives her a hammer* – I don’t know what ever possessed him to do this in the first place Kirsten: Than Tew… *proceeds to thump him on the head with said hammer* Tru: Ow, ow, ow!! Kirsten: Hahahaha HAHAHAHAH HAHAHAHHAHA I have a sadist and a masochist in the same house; some might » Read More

Somebody needs to invent a pill that makes kids grow up slower

Is it just me or is baby girl growing up way too fast? Ok, it was my fault for saying I hoped she would grow up faster just a few months back but she really didn’t have to take me so seriously. It’s not like she takes me seriously when I tell her to pick » Read More

Say goodbye to bath-tubbing fun.

I’ve finally thrown out my bathtub. Not the baby or the bathwater, but the entire bathtub. I’ve been wanting to do it for a long time now, because it’s been accumulating algae and fungus at the bottom from being left on the moist bathroom floor for two years. I know the responsible thing to do is » Read More

Clothes are not legitimate mucus wipers. Really, I shouldn’t have to clarify this.

It all started when Tru had a bit of the sniffles a while back. He had all this mucus streaming down his nose non-stop all day and I had to keep running back and forth to get more tissue, wipe his nose, throw it away, get a fresh piece, and then another and another. I tried » Read More

Life is nothing like riding a bike.

With a photo like this, you’d think I’m going to write a motivational piece on how life is like riding a bike and something about getting up when we fall, which is remotely related to how winners are those who never quit. Stuff like that. But then you probably came to the wrong blog because there » Read More

Flowers and child labor syndicates.

We were just done with our usual weekend brunch at the airport when they saw this gazebo-like structure with lots of flowers and made the husband push them there in the luggage trolley. It’s this thing they do where they both sit on the ledge of the trolley with their legs dangling out and they » Read More

Even better than the real thing.

Did you know that I queued up for almost 2 hours to get this shot with Minnie? There were all these kids clamoring to get a shot with Minnie Mouse and there I was, the only grown up (I didn’t even have kids to pretend like it was them who wanted the picture) and I » Read More

Results in 30 days or your money back.

If you’re also a mom, you’re probably sympathetic to the fact that post-baby, your body is never going back to the way it was before. I blame all those slimming centre commercials with all the before and after shots (which were all probably photoshopped in anyway) because they make it look so easy. Pop 3 » Read More
