Breastfeeding is one way to lose all of that weight you gained during pregnancy, which is why weight loss pills aren't much of an option. Of course, this is just one of the many benefits of breastfeeding. To help maximise your breastfeeding experience, make sure to attend these classes organised by the Breastfeeding Club. When: 30 August 2008, Saturday Where: 1503A West Tower, Tektite Bldg.,

So how did your weekend go? Did all those exercise tips I dished out last week not go to waste? Or did we do any shortcuts with Apidexin? I know. It really can be tough but as they say, "No pain, no gain!" Anyway, today is our anniversary as I previously mentioned in my last blog post. Three years people, but it feels like a lifetime! Time sure does have a way of tricking the mind. I guess it is

Yes, the husband and I will be having a little couple time today. Being a full-time mom and wife while hubby works during the day leaves us barely any time for husband and wife. That is why we have taken time out for today, especially since we are celebrating our civil wedding anniversary on the 26th. We're having our niece babysit our little girl for us, while we go out for some lunch and

Having a baby can certainly have its effects on a woman's body. It's just not the same anymore. And one of the few things that I have found to be a little bothersome is that 'Mummy Tummy' that I've grown over the past year ever since I gave birth. It can be annoying to see, especially when you try to fit in back into your old clothes, which I realise is sometimes impossible without having to do

And tempted as well. I have not exercised for two straights days now. I have been slaving in the kitchen yesterday, baking not one, but two desserts! And now that they are done, I am so tempted to take a bite. Argh! :( We have been attending a couple of parties since Wednesday, and I have been trying my best to stick to my diet. Well, as if there was any! But seriously, I am trying not to

The little girl is getting more curious and curious as each day goes by. And as she is more mobile now, walking all over the place, we have to keep an eye on her all the time, lest she pick up or touch something dirty or worse, hurt herself. It has come to a point that we need to hide everything now or put things in places where she cannot reach them. The exposed HDMI cables need to be hidden

I have been out the loop for quite some time now. It's been pretty hectic on the homefront, with motherhood, chores, exam reviews and exercise all crammed up into my tight busy schedule. Yes, you heard me. Exercise! It has come to a point that I could not look myself in the mirror because I really did pack in some weight, especially since Erin stopped breastfeeding from me.

I was bored to bits, surfing the net about mobile plans and car insurance online, when a light bulb moment struck me. It's meme time! Love the result on this one! :) You Will Be a Cool Parent You seem to naturally know a lot about parenting, and you know what kids need. You can tell when it's time to let kids off the hook, and when it's time to lay down the law. While your parenting is

I have a confession to make. I am a loyal Johnson and Johnson product user. I don't know about you guys, but I have always been a regular user of their products, whether it is for personal use or for my little girl's. Maybe it is because of the quality of their consumer products. I reckon they are just one of the best ones out there, which is why they have earned my loyalty. I mean, what is not

To bring forth a human being into this world is a miracle in itself. Imagine the different processes that a single fertilised cell will have to undergo to become the beautiful angel that you receive in your arms after nine months. For me, whether a child was conceived the natural or assisted way, they are all miracles! :) Anyway to celebrate life, here are a few facts about conception that you

I just enjoy listening to our little girl talk. Yeah, for the most part it is jargon, but man, can she babble away! I reckon this little kid of ours will be a non-stop talker when she does manage to find the correct words to say. I am sure we will be bombarded with enless questions from her, but heck, it is something worth celebrating and not to be complained about, if you ask me. The celebration

Sports bras, that is. As we are on the topic of exercise and working out, don't forget that it is important for us women to get the right kinds of bras. Did you know that the wrong exercise bras can damage our breasts? You heard it right. It is not enough that we wear any kind of bra while we work out. The right one for the job is the sports bra. This is what researchers found out. Led by Dr

I received this invitation from one of my egroups. Please help spread the word about it to interested parents.

Well, our vacation is almost up. We've got two more days left, to be exact, until we fly out and head back down under. Our little girl has grown so much that I think it will be a major adjustment for all of us when we're all settled in our quaint little home in the hills. Preparing for that big trip can be quite stressful especially when you've got loads of stuff to pack into your not so huge

I've been absent in Joey's carnival for some time now as my schedule just won't permit me. Nevertheless, I would still like to spread the word about the current topic being undertaken on the next carnival. The topic is: "What type of parent are you?" This month's host is Guardian Angel of Happy Family Matters. General guidelines include the following: 1. This is open to all English-only

I am sure all of us, when we were little kids, remember the time when we'd have to endure the hard task of eating our veggies during meal time, with our parents watching to make sure we clean up our plate. I can clearly recall how much helpful a big glass of water was to help me swallow all those kangkong leaves and what-nots. LOL. I am sure you all had your own tactics too. Those were the days.
