A health freak mom's thoughts on health and all things healthy
Years ago before the hubs bought an 8-seater MPV, we only had a 5-seater locally-made sedan car. It was pretty squeezy to fit in our family consisting of the mil, 2 small toddlers under 3 years old, the hubs, a maid (at one time we had 2 live-in maids) and myself. Then we upgraded to…
I am ashamed to confess that being a health freak, I have however been a slacker with my health for the past few years. The last time I did a pap smear test was perhaps 2-3 years ago! During the coming school holidays, I MUST MUST MUST pay a visit to my fertility specialist cum…
My second most effective stress-therapy besides retail therapy is tummy therapy! Today I have been feeling pretty stressed up, caused mainly by workload and also lack of sleep. And I just did not feel like cooking lunch, so I got the hubs to take-away food. As usual, my foodie hubs bought more than what we…
Alycia is one girl who needs lots and lots of sleep. She still needs to take her nap in the afternoon. If she is deprived of a nap in the afternoon, she will get edgy and crabby. Temper tantrums will break out when she is asked to do her school work and if she does…
The hubs will celebrate his birthday in 2 months. Getting him a present is not as easy as getting a present for my dad. My dad will use or wear anything that I buy him, with much appreciation. Even if I present my dad with those stylish Men’s Leather Hats I am sure he will…
My once flawless face is pretty prone to pimples lately. I guess this has got to do with not getting sufficient sleep and not getting sufficient ‘sweating it out’ moments. I used to exercise vigorously everyday which made me sweat profusely. Exercising and sweating can improve one’s skin and complexion. Ever since the maid left, …
My mind was swayed to the pretty yoga mat bags I saw the night before. I was so engrossed in those pretty bags that I caused a boo boo yesterday morning. With one hand carrying about 5kg of fresh meat and veggie that I had bought earlier and the mind straying from my head, I…
It has been 3.5 years since Cass underwent a Uretheral Reimplantation surgery and her bladder is still ‘weak’. So says the surgeon. She still has to wear diapers to school and she knows how to change her diapers 1-2 times when she is in school. I put a few pieces of pull-up diapers in her…
Sherilyn has a classmate by the name of Shalala. Yep like that catchy song with the many “shalalas” LOL! Sherilyn told me that sometimes the teacher will sing “Shalalalalal” when calling out to the girl. Poor girl, I am sure she has been getting many giggles and mockery from strangers and new friends upon hearing…
Do you bring your kids to the doctor each time she has a sore throat or a cold? I don’t. I prefer to self treat. Though it will take a longer recovery period, I can live with that. I do not believe in feeding my kids with antibiotics and meds each time they have a…
