Timely feeding on kids

Monday, October 18th, 2010

I know a lot of us get extremely worry at times when our child does not eat well. This happens usually to first-time parents. I was the same too, feeding my girl timely on her meal. And at the end of the day, it usually ended up into pointless feeding whereby we made the kid hate their food even more.

With the boys, I am very much more lenient. They eat whenever they want, but if they are not hungry during feeding time, I will put aside their food until they get hungry again. I find that this way, they eat very much better and we are all happier too!

Ensure milk

Monday, February 16th, 2009

Not being blessed with a fair skin like my peers and both my brothers, I had always wanted to look fair when I was young. I applied lots of baby powder on my face, take an umbrella whenever I go under the sun when I was a teenager. Unfortunately nothing works for me.

When I got pregnant with QQ, my mum advised me to drink the Ensure Milk from Abbott (she even bought it for me). It is highly nutritious and expensive soy milk (even suitable for be used as meal replacement). A tin of 1000g cost about RM55. My mum and her friends who drank this milk during their pregnancy swears by it (true enough my youngest brother is the fairest among us, and with a high nose bone, he look very “ang-mor” too :p)

However not everyone can tolerate milk, what’s more soy taste. Unfortunately I could not even accept the taste when I carried QQ (I am very disheartened each time her friend’s parents in school commented on her “tan” skin).

When I carried the twin boys, I love the taste! (be it vanilla, strawberry or chocolate) I am a milk drinker since young and I drink Ensure milk at least 3 cups a day! That is how both my Bumbo boys are blessed with fair, white and super smooth tofu skin although hubby and I looks tan.

Greens for little ones

Monday, October 20th, 2008

I hardly have a chance to use the bento kits that I bought recently. Although I am not decorating my girl’s food, I am happy that she is now learning to eat some greens. She could take most of the vegetables with soft leaves. Her favourite is the spinach. So from time to time, I will introduce some new vege to her, hoping that she would slowly love vege. Green beans are in fact good for little children. Shall check out some new recipes since my boys are going to start on solid too, soon.

Shortage of nappies

Saturday, July 5th, 2008

Obviously the babies are drinking sufficient breastmilk!

Just imagine how many nappies we are washing daily now with 2 babies! We even use them to wrap up the babies to keep them tight (so that they will not get frightened easily) and warm. But for the past 2 days, it was raining so heavily that we almost have no nappies to use anymore. Unless we get one of those dryers otherwise we can easily substitude them with the disposable diapers. Really cannot imagine what it is like if I still live in the past where there are no diapers!

Live with greens

Saturday, June 14th, 2008

Ever since my tummy gets bigger, I can hardly walk for long. So every time, I would have to get my dear friend, Seet to do the marketing for me.

Since hubby is around and my girl got up so early today, we managed to go for a good breakfast and do some light marketing at the market. With the price hike on everything, especially the pork and meat, we bought so much vegetables and fruits since we are eating more vegetables now. Hope my children would love to consume more green in future so that they will not rely on acne solutions like their mum did in her teenage years.

Silk flower chocolates

Monday, May 26th, 2008

See the beautiful lollipop I did for my girl’s birthday? I was thinking if it is feasible to run a business on this, of course, taking orders and homemade this with my girl, as a craft and hobby basis. I got lots of support from friends on this idea, and still have some nice ideas in mind what I can do in my business. I could also use chocolate, have them nicely wrapped up like a bouquet of silk flowers which will have a romantic touch.
