Need a bigger pot now

Since I need to drink lots of soup frequently to increase my breast milk, I need to boil soup almost daily. At the moment, the biggest pot that I have for soup boiling can only cater for a meal. Surprisingly, yesterday hubby suggest that we buy another bigger pot so that we can cook more. [...]

Clean but not properly cleaned

Although my maid can be helpful in all the housework, I just found out the reason why her cleaning job sucks. Guess what? Not using her brain and energy to work, cleaning is just an action, but not properly done. She did not even straighten the clothing when she hangs and folds them. When she [...]

Do you still swaddle your baby with a cloth

Without having a chance to see the moon and sun, I have been staying at home with the boys for a whole 7 weeks. Although some days it is extremely tired (when I do not have a good night sleep or if I do not get to nap), it is surely satisfying witness how much [...]

Humid summer

There are lots of rain these days especially in the afternoon. Since the boys are using cloth nappies during daytime, it can be quite tedious for us if the cloth cannot get dry. Then we will not have sufficient nappies to use on the next day.
Although it rains almost daily, the air is still very [...]

How come I am not as slim as other mamas

Chooi Peng just came over to visit the twins and you would not imagine how envy I am when I see this young and slim mama of two.
Unlike other mothers, after I gave birth to my first child, I did not loose much weight at all even though I was exclusively breastfeeding my girl for [...]

Poor Girl

After the arrival of the babies, I admit, due to the lack of hands (or I should say the over-demanding twins who hardly sleeps), our poor girl has been put aside. Whenever she comes back from school, and wanna me to read with her, I got to tell her to wait as I am busy [...]

Finally relief

You would not imagine what I am going through from the traumatic delivery, having to handle a demanding toddler at the same time followed by my failure to breastfeed the boys 100% breastmilk, then my worst fear, the boys’ hyperthyroid problem.
But at least after the confirmation 2 days ago, we are so glad that the [...]

Living in the dark

The babies including myself are still staying indoor most of the time. Due to some difficulties of going out with the twins, plus a useless maid (who cannot ride in a car), we have not been going out until now (at 6 weeks).
In fact, I would very much like to bring my kids out to [...]

Savings for each child

Where does all the collected money (Ang Pow) for my child goes to? Of course, conveniently, Mummy’s pocket! Seeing the benefit of having a higher interest rate on the children’s savings accounts, we did open an account for our girl sometime ago. But because it is so troublesome to go to the bank all the [...]

How to loose weight naturally

>Want to know how I sleep at night? This is my schedule how I breastfeed them every night.
(Say the boys are knocked off by 9pm (twin 1) and 10pm (twin 2).
11pm – feed Twin 1
12pm – feed Twin 2
1pm – feed Twin 1
2pm – feed Twin 2
3pm – (good thing that Twin 1 forgot to [...]
