Seasons Change

I have to stock up on moisturizers, sorbolene lotion and lip balm because in two months’ time, it will be winter in Sydney again! Last year was the harshest winter we experienced as yet, with the heaters at home working almost ’round the clock. But what is good is that my skin has adjusted well into the season changes that I no longer need to scout for ’special’ acne solutions. I just hope it stays that way forever.

Where Did the Time Go?

With less than a month left before our return to Sydney, I’m feeling a bit anxious with the ‘minor’ to-dos on my list. They are mostly related to my photos, like posting some on my blog and online album, having selected ones printed and sent to family and most importantly, completing all my back-ups. Just thinking about leaving any of these undone makes me cringe. Arrgh. I’d probably need an adult acne home treatment to do deal with this stress.

Homewares & Furniture

Next time we shop for new home furniture, I know better what style and wood finish we’d buy. It’s a pretty exciting thought to buy new furniture as I’m very eager to replace what we have. Especially our TV stand and center table, which has seen better days. But then, it’s hard when you have young kids who sees the living room as a play room.

Happily Unemployed

It has been a long while since I checked out a job website (like Dallas Job Search) because going back to the workforce is not yet in my horizon. Well, not until both my kids are in the big school, at the very least. My resume was last updated almost three years ago and I render my credentials to be obsolete by the time I look for work again. Hee.

Time to Partee!

With my kids’ upcoming party this month and the Christmas holidays, I wonder how I can carry out my plan to lose weight. There will be so much temptations to indulge in yummy food and treats especially and I can’t count on self-control to help. Arrgh. Will I give in to natural fat burners or diet pills? I hope not.

Baby Teeth Care

We are encouraging our little girl to take care of her teeth by encouraging her to brush them regularly and avoiding sweets as much as possible. I have read that our child’s permanent teeth will be as strong (or as weak) as their baby teeth. I’m too scared for any of my kids to get early gum problems and worse, dental surgery (e.g. dental implants Mexico).

Another Mini-Project

I have another mini-project in mind that I hope to complete before we leave for our holiday trip this month. This involves printing mini calendars and placing them in small gift boxes that I’ll finish off with dainty Christmas ribbons. I just need to manage my time very well to be able to squeeze in the things I need to do to finish it. This Thursday, I plan to get some supplies like stationery, small boxes and a good box cutter. *Crossing toes* I hope I get to start work on this, this coming weekend.

Pet or No Pet?

Each time we visit the mall in Chatswood, my daughter likes to hang out at this pet store. She enjoys watching the puppies and rabbits in huge glass cases, seeing them play and rest on pet beds. I’m surprised that she didn’t feel any fear of these animals especially when they get near her. Hopefully though, she will not reach a stage where she’ll beg us for a pet. Sounds mean I know, but I’m just too scared of the responsibility that comes along caring for a pet.

Goodbye Flabs!

Summer is just around the corner and many people are now hyped up to get slim in order to fit in that teeny-weeny beach outfit. As for me, Summer season or not, I need to lose my pregnancy weight and fast! I have been on an eating-spree since I gave birth and now I’m a bit worried that I’ll have these unsightly flabs forever! Diet products are not in the picture as yet, hopefully, I can lose weight naturally. Cross fingers! Hee.

Doodle-Kaboodle

It’s not a big concern as yet but my little girl has a growing interest in scribbling on desks, tables and our poor TV screen with her crayons! I’m glad she has stayed away from doors and walls so far. Otherwise, poor mama will be scrubbing and swiping the walls clean every day. It does help though that she has her own play desk (smaller than classroom desks) and an easel board where she does most of her doodle art.
