A health freak mom's thoughts on health and all things healthy
I love eating mangosteens. Mangosteen is a superfruit that contains a rich nutrient base along with the potential impact for lowering risk against various diseases. Mangosteens are also considered a ‘cooling’ fruit and many people will eat this fruit after eating durian – the king of fruit, to expel ‘heatiness’ from the body. The flesh…
The girls told me that they wanted to have ABC soup, just like granny’s homemade Western ABC soup and I said no problem if they could help to peel and cut the vegetables. They could not be happier to help out in the kitchen! And so here they are in action… I only allowed Alycia…
This is the picture of my badly injured palms, after a trip-and-fall on the road when I was jogging in the morning. That was one of the worst mishaps that had happened to me, after the stroller accident where Cass and I fell on the road when I was jogging with her in the stroller…
Sherilyn’s wish for X’mas this year is again her 2 front teeth. Her 2 front teeth dropped about a year ago and the permanent ones still have not sprouted out. Everyone has been asking her where her 2 front teeth are. She is worried sick too and I always tell her that because she has…
I can see that Cass is someone who likes to make full use of her time and does not like to idle away time. While waiting for the food to arrive each time we eat out, she will bug me for some activities to kill time. The first thing that she would ask me is…
Besides feeding Cass with psyllium husk tomorrow, I must make a mental note to give her a handful of organic cherry tomatoes for breakfast tomorrow. And 1 whole kiwi fruit too.

Alycia, Sherilyn and Cass are enjoying their art class very much. Besides learning the techniques of painting with water color and oil pastels, their art teacher has taught them how to paint fridge magnets, make lanterns, make Father’s Day gifts, Mother’s Day gifts and other interesting crafts. The other day, they made a very pretty…
Cass is still very much a constipated child. Her constipation was far worse off before she was trained to poo in the throne. It was through a few very painful and traumatic experiences that she finally cooperated and ditched pooing in her diaper for the throne. Though I feed her with fruits, veggie and lots…
Potty training a 4.5YO girl with a lazy bladder and a urinary tract that’s meddled with surgically when she was only 13 months old is indeed tough. I have now kept Cass diaper-free during day time and only put a pad on for her. The pad is wet every half an hour. If she does…
The thick winter clothing that my mum brought to her recent trip to Turkey were warm enough for her. My mum and dad spent 10 very blissful days in winter cold Turkey, though they went cold turkey on hot weather. No pun intended hehe. They went on a hot air balloon ride and the strong…
