SubscribeI’ve been reading about toddler development online this morning. It’s good to know what to expect from my little girl but not pressure her to reach every milestone on the guideline, it is afterall just a guideline and each child is different. I even stumbled on a few hydroleyes reviews while I was looking for more articles. I guess as parents we want our kids to excel but we shouldn’t force our kids either. I let my little girl learn at her own pace and introduce activities that are both fun and educational. She’s a toddler afterall and she loves to play. I can see positive improvements from her too so I’m happy with that. I’m always thinking of fun activities we can do

Spring Colors
I really like this palette from Everyday Minerals. It’s been a while since I last ordered from their site so I browsed their latest collection yesterday and found this. I don’t think they have night creams but I like their foundation. I’m still not used to having applying loose powder like this but I’m working on it. So far I didn’t have any breakouts when I used their products so that’s good. I don’t really put heavy makeup, so this palette is just nice for me.
Sleepless nights
When you have a sick child it is not unusual to lose sleep, in fact that’s what happens when you have a sick kid. My little has colds and cough so she keeps on waking up and looking for me. I might ask hubby to buy me a good eye cream for dark circles soon, aside from me consuming more caffeine than usual to make up for not getting enough sleep (how I long to go to Starbucks). I hope the little girl feels better soon so we can go back to our normal sleeping routine.
Yummy sashimi
These pictures were taken at Suki Sushi, a resto near our place. I love that we could just walk there whenever we need a sushi fix. The staff are nice and you can’t beat their prices. Although it is located beside the wet market I don’t mind at all, just give me the salmon sashimi and sushi and I’m a happy girl. Iyah loves their yasai miso soup so I’m not worried that she’ll starve when we dine there.
I’m up
I’m up early today, another night with enough sleep it’s a wonder I don’t need acne pills by now. It’s hard to get enough snooze when you’re thinking about all the things you need to do the following day. Having a preschooler to drop off and pick up from school requires a lot of preparation and usually takes up half of my day. It’s not that I don’t enjoy it what I’m saying is that it takes a lot of hours of my day and there’s still a lot of other things I need to be doing too. I’m just my husband is not the OC type of guy, he goes with the flow and he’s not very fussy too. I do not have to wait on him hand and foot and he helps out too (love him to bits). I think it’s really too early for me to be up, maybe I should crawl back to bed….
Oh my
I have this constant struggle with weight eversince I gave birth to my little girl. Basically after I stopped breastfeeding I’ve gained weight steadily and I’m too lazy to exercise but still love to eat….a lot. I wish there’s really diets that work to help out a girl like me. It’s hard because I’m stuck, I can’t do much since we’re also TCC and it is stressing me out. I’m at loss because I’m not sure I should go on a diet nor strain myself with exercise (yeah right as if I will really do this one). I’m putting losing weight on my bucket list of things I should do before I turn 30, keeping my fingers crossed I could actually do it. Looking at photos from years ago makes me sad sometimes, to see how much I’ve let myself go is really disappointing. I know I’m not too forgone and I can still be my old self again if I try hard enough, I just need to find the motivation and will to do something about it and not grab that last slice of cake on the fridge.
Her invites
A friend of mine from back home found out that I’m a scrapbooker and she asked me the other day if I could make the first birthday invitation and guestbook of her little girl. Of course I asked first when was the event (I scrap slowly sometimes) and when she told me it would be July I said yes. She was so relieved to cross these two things off her to do list. She even joked that she might also ask me to make first communion invitations when the time comes, lol. I like scrapbooking and since I have a couple of months to finish these projects I’m happy to help out.
Pixel Skin
Aren’t these iphone cases nice? These are Speck Pixel Skin cases for iphone and I love them. It is made of rubber which is nice when you have a toddler who plays with your phone all the time. It does make my phone a bit bulky as it is not as thin as silicone cases but still I love them. I love the fun colors too, I want bright colored cases….makes me happy. So far I got the purple one but I want to have the pink, yellow and green one too. It’s on my birthday wishlist since the phone itself was an advanced birthday gift from hubby. So far I found two stores that sells these cases, one at Vivo City and one at Suntec City. I bought my purple one at Vivo, I was suppose to buy the yellow one at Suntec but when I saw that the price was $11 more than what I paid for at the store at Vivo I backed out (there’s no way I’m going to pay $49 for the same case I got for $38 at another store). What a huge price difference, it is insane! I have 27 cases now but this is the only is a bit pricey, the rest I got cheap from ebay. Anyway it’s my birthday in a few weeks and I consider this one of my presents
Oh headache
I have an on and off headache for two days now (ugh I just hate it when this happens) and I can’t focus on the work I should be doing. I’m not sure if it’s because I haven’t had my usual coffee fix for two days now or I’m spending way too much time in front of the computer. I do feel sleepy which I can attribute to the lack of caffeine in my body. I better take paracetamol now and sleep so hopefully my headache would be gone when I wake up, it usually does the trick. I wish malignant Mesothelioma could be cured by sleep. I’m thankful that me and my family are blessed with good health and this is something that I always pray for. I really hope my headache would stop so I can go back to working on some of the layouts I have been planning to do.
Oh my mug
I’m wondering what would be a great gift to friends when we go back home. I would like something that won’t occupy a lot of space in our suitcase as I want to travel light. I guess custom travel mugs could be one option, there’s a lot of fun choices when it comes to design and the prices are reasonable too so even if I buy a dozen it won’t be that expensive. I still have months to think about this who knows maybe I would stumble to another alternative.
