As Zachary continues to grow in size (and weight), it’s getting quite challenging to carry him and keep him still. Poor David had an achey shoulder a couple of weeks ago from carrying the boy, and I’m also getting my fair share of sore arms too. This is where a baby sling / baby carrier…

Mama’s essentials – Bag organizer
Ever cringe at the sight of fugly diaper bags that looked like they belonged in the 80s? You know – those mimicking Chanel’s quilt culture but imagine it on white and blue PVC materials that have bunny designs on them? Ever wished that you could transform your favourite large bag into a diaper bag? YES…
Mama’s essentials – Digital thermometer
Even before baby arrived, my family has had a digital thermometer for the longest time. We’d use it to check our temperature when we’re having a bout of fever, and very often use the readings to decide if it is finally time to go see the doctor. The last time we had an old skool…
Mama’s essentials – Childcare Reference Book
Having a baby is life changing. It is also overwhelming and scary at times. And very often, every little change in baby (be it a rash, his growth, feeding/sleeping/poop times, behaviour, etc) may make us first time parents a little bit more sensitive to whether the baby’s doing okay. Being someone who loves structure, guidance…
Mama’s essentials – Baby changing table
I hope this isn’t the beginning of me becoming a mom-zilla but I thought this would be a great series to help new moms prepare for their first child. As I move along my journey as a new mother, I would like to document and share some best buys on what new parents could consider…
Cloth diapers
I first heard about cloth diapers from eco-loving-mom Leona who has been cloth diapering her son Josiah as soon as he could fit in them diapers. I was keen on trying these cloth diapers out too, hoping for an alternative to the traditional cotton lampin and the much loved disposable diapers. Finally, Zack has grown…
Baby = $$$
Making a baby doesn’t cost much. It may involve a romantic dinner for two, a bottle of bubbly, a hotel room (for those who don’t want to clean up after a night of messing with chocolate sauce *ahem*) and perhaps even a smokin’ lacey piece of babydoll lingerie. The woman’s egg and the man’s sperm…
What is wealth?
Photo credit – American Dollar 2 by thinkpanama on Flickr How does one define how rich one is? Some measure with the amount of cash you have, others measure by number of tangible assets or what investments are in your basket, and a certain few may judge based on your personal outlook (from the car…
Getting ready for Muffin
It may seem a little bit early now that I’m only in my 24th week (16 weeks to go *gasp*) but we already started shopping to prepare for baby’s arrival. One, because I am still pretty mobile and don’t have crazy aches if I stand or walk for long hours and two, it’s the Malaysia…
EPF Withdrawal for Home Purchase
David and I were at the EPF office in Jalan Gasing earlier today to submit our forms to apply for withdrawal (from Account 2) to help us out with our new home purchase. We weren’t sure if it’s because of the long weekend, but there wasn’t much people waiting in line, and we basically zipped…
