A health freak mom's thoughts on health and all things healthy
My brother and sil returned from Canada recently and gave us a few bottles of maple syrup, maple butter and maple cookies. My mom did a google search on maple syrup and found out that this nice smelling syrup is more than just sweetness. Maple syrup is one of the many wonders of the world….
As I was reading the newspapers in the gym whilst working out on the Air Walker this morning, an advertisement from a local budget Airlines caught my eye. A one-way air ticket to Korea only costs RM429 and that’s a steal! This means that if we were to go to Korea for a holiday, just…
Babies loves eggs – chicken eggs and quail eggs. I started feeding my 3 girls eggs as soon as they turned 1 year old. Baby still eats an egg a day, most of the time she feasts on free range chicken eggs. Each week, we consume 2-3 crates of eggs. We love eggs cook in…
Our 2-day 1 night stay in Westin KL last week was more like a food binging trip. My hubs had to utilize his free room-stay and dining voucher, so we had a food marathon at the hotel. I ate so much that I felt like my tummy was about to burst. When we came home…

It was a rainy and breezy morning today. It’s a perfect weather to lie in bed and to continue dreaming. I wished I could sleep longer and enjoy the warmth under my blanket but I pulled myself up from bed. As usual, I can hardly ever enjoy sleeping in until the skies turn bright. I…

I was busy at work on my computer and when I turned back to look at Baby, I got a bloody scare of my life when I saw blood on her nose. But it wasn’t anything serious. She had just scratched her nose! This fella is learning all the bad habits from her cheh cheh…
