One-dish One-ders!

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, and also omitting » Read More

Confessions of a BLW SAHM that caved…

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 crawling and » Read More

What a Relief!

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 apologies if » Read More

House-proofing the Crawling, Cruising Menace

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 a » Read More

He’s got the fever

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 enough, » Read More

Weaning

Weaning. There’s so much to say about it. Now, where do I start? It’s tempting to launch straight into a laundry list of food that Coco is eating but before that, let’s talk about TIMING. TIMING (I know, it’s not the most creative of sub-titles but it’s 11.52pm on a Sunday night and my brain got fried under » Read More

Doing Catch Up!

After a 6 month hiatus, I’m back! I was initially hesitant about doing a monthly entry because with a growing business and a growing toddler, finding time to write is a challenge. However I realised that just pictures (although they speak a thousand words) do not capture the moment for me the way writing about » Read More

That First Flight

We are going to Bali TOMORROW! “We” as in me, Dan and baby Coco. Yes, it will be Coco’s first flight at six – going on seven – months. I’m definitely looking forward to it, in a delirious mix of anticipation, apprehension, work stress, packing stress and lack of sleep. Under the pretext of being hardworking and putting » Read More

How To Lose Post-Baby Weight Without Exercising (Really)

During my pregnancy, I attended numerous baby fairs, parenting talks and pre-natal classes and in one of the goodie bags that I came home with, I found a booklet from the Singapore Sports Council, detailing how to lose weight after giving birth. The booklet featured various exercises that a new mum could do while carrying her » Read More
