Homewares & Furniture

Next time we shop for new home furniture, I know better what style and wood finish we’d buy. It’s a pretty exciting thought to buy new furniture as I’m very eager to replace what we have. Especially our TV stand and center table, which has seen better days. But then, it’s hard when you have young kids who sees the living room as a play room.

Happily Unemployed

It has been a long while since I checked out a job website (like Dallas Job Search) because going back to the workforce is not yet in my horizon. Well, not until both my kids are in the big school, at the very least. My resume was last updated almost three years ago and I render my credentials to be obsolete by the time I look for work again. Hee.

Time to Partee!

With my kids’ upcoming party this month and the Christmas holidays, I wonder how I can carry out my plan to lose weight. There will be so much temptations to indulge in yummy food and treats especially and I can’t count on self-control to help. Arrgh. Will I give in to natural fat burners or diet pills? I hope not.

Baby Teeth Care

We are encouraging our little girl to take care of her teeth by encouraging her to brush them regularly and avoiding sweets as much as possible. I have read that our child’s permanent teeth will be as strong (or as weak) as their baby teeth. I’m too scared for any of my kids to get early gum problems and worse, dental surgery (e.g. dental implants Mexico).

Another Mini-Project

I have another mini-project in mind that I hope to complete before we leave for our holiday trip this month. This involves printing mini calendars and placing them in small gift boxes that I’ll finish off with dainty Christmas ribbons. I just need to manage my time very well to be able to squeeze in the things I need to do to finish it. This Thursday, I plan to get some supplies like stationery, small boxes and a good box cutter. *Crossing toes* I hope I get to start work on this, this coming weekend.

Pet or No Pet?

Each time we visit the mall in Chatswood, my daughter likes to hang out at this pet store. She enjoys watching the puppies and rabbits in huge glass cases, seeing them play and rest on pet beds. I’m surprised that she didn’t feel any fear of these animals especially when they get near her. Hopefully though, she will not reach a stage where she’ll beg us for a pet. Sounds mean I know, but I’m just too scared of the responsibility that comes along caring for a pet.

Goodbye Flabs!

Summer is just around the corner and many people are now hyped up to get slim in order to fit in that teeny-weeny beach outfit. As for me, Summer season or not, I need to lose my pregnancy weight and fast! I have been on an eating-spree since I gave birth and now I’m a bit worried that I’ll have these unsightly flabs forever! Diet products are not in the picture as yet, hopefully, I can lose weight naturally. Cross fingers! Hee.

Doodle-Kaboodle

It’s not a big concern as yet but my little girl has a growing interest in scribbling on desks, tables and our poor TV screen with her crayons! I’m glad she has stayed away from doors and walls so far. Otherwise, poor mama will be scrubbing and swiping the walls clean every day. It does help though that she has her own play desk (smaller than classroom desks) and an easel board where she does most of her doodle art.

More Space

Now that we have two little kids, I felt an inkling to search for a bigger apartment or house to rent. No matter how much we sort and pack away stuff that we rarely or no longer use, we still end up with a lot of things kept in our storage space. If both our kids will acquire more toys (like gaming consoles, boardgames or ping pong tables perhaps?) and clothes in the near future, we definitely need to consider moving houses, otherwise, our whole house will look like one messy play area!

Future Travel Plan

This early my husband and I are already contemplating on the 7th birthday celebration of our first born. She is currently into Disney princess characters right now and we thought that she’d have a grand time celebrating her big day in where else but Disneyland! And by then, our newborn will be about 4 years old and for sure he, too will enjoy Disneyland. And as for me and my husband, we need to plan our itinerary (to include Las Vegas or Miami hotel deals) so that we can have some good fun, too.
