A health freak mom's thoughts on health and all things healthy
My girls and I love pancakes. I like to be adventurous when it comes to baking and cooking. Some of the flavors that I had whipped up in the past were multi-seeded pancake (which I added sesame seeds, flax seeds, pumpkin seeds and wholemeal flour), mashed banana pancake, chocolate flavored pancake (which I added my…
My hubs recently bought me a Blackberry so that I can check my emails and reply my customers while I am on the go. Having a mobile phone with WiFi is so convenient and useful for a WFHM like me. However, I find the Blackberry screen a tad small and I often go dizzy if…
My first pregnancy was plagued with pregnancy related discomforts that affected me from head to toe. I had zits on my face and body, a pregnancy tumor on my gums which was really huge and caused massive bleeding each time I brushed my teeth, heart burn, severe vomiting for the first 12 weeks, spotting, a…
What would you do if you have a 6-year old daughter who loves to dawdle every morning before she leaves the house for school, dawdle before she goes just about anywhere, tampers with your thinning patience everyday with her disobedience, provokes you with her constant whining and screaming and refuses to do her homework?

Tomorrow’s the day. The day that I have been dreading for almost 2 years. Exactly 2 years ago, we were preparing for Baby’s surgery, which was held on 5 May 2009, the day that I will never forget. After an eventful stay in the hospital for 3 weeks where Baby was cut up twice, we…
My mum and friends have been telling me that my lack of sleep lately is all shown on my eyes. The dark circles under my eyes look really awful if I don’t apply powder or make up on my face. Gee, this is what almost hitting 40 feels and looks like! Should I pop some…
Recently, I have been getting a ‘black dot’ in my vision intermittently, say like 5-10 times in a day. For the past 1 week, I have been working continuously on my PC, with very little rest and sleep. I am also trying to shed off the 1kg I had gained as a result of binging…
I’ll bet no one can stomach this kind of food for their breakkie – a cup of plain yoghurt with muesli and nuts. Pretty bland but it’s healthy and wholesome stuff! High in fiber, protein, calcium and other nutrients! I’ll bet this is not your kind of stuff for the first meal of your day…
Like mummy like baby… and it is all a matter of starting them from young and training the taste buds. I’ll bet no 3yo toddler would want to go near sprouted wheat bread, which has a rather ‘raw’ taste but not my baby. She can chomp down a whole slice of toasted sprouted wheat bread…
I woke up at 5am today. Though I am severely sleep deprived, some how the mind and body just could not rest in peace, though in sleeping mode, knowing that there is lots of work to be completed. Sometimes I can just sit in front of my desktop PC and stare at the words on…
