Week 41: An Eventful Weekend

Monday morning and I’m sitting here thinking “Phew! That was quite an eventful weekend!”… it was a very good busy weekend though, as we got to surround Micah with lots of people and he got lots of cuddles and our house was very busy and he just did not get the chance to get bored, lol. We were up nice and early on Saturday morning, especially hubby who took Micah to his play area at 6am so I can have a sleep-in, so really my day only started at 8am lol. Hubby then took Micah to Bunnings with him, as … Continue reading Week 41: An Eventful Weekend

Playdate… and a Photo Shoot Of Course!

Micah and I had a fun day today. My friend Nat and her little girl Hannah, who is 10 weeks younger than Micah, came over for a playdate. Of course, I somehow managed to easily convince Nat to “lend me” her daughter as a subject for my camera for the day, lol. Hannah is a lot more cooperative than Micah, mostly because she doesn’t move quite as quickly as he does (although she will catch up VERY soon at the rate she’s going!) and I love how cute little girls can get all dressed up and look really pretty for … Continue reading Playdate… and a Photo Shoot Of Course!

Soaking Up The Sun

We love the warmer weather and have been spending more time out on the deck, soaking up the sun and breathing fresh air. Of course I see this as an opportunity for more outdoor shots, hehe. And later that day… I took a few more shots but got really frustrated because Micah just won’t keep still. I think I will give this whole photo-taking business a bit of a break so Micah can get his groove back. Maybe he was trying to tell me “enough mum… just let me be for a few days” lol. I’m really starting to enjoy … Continue reading Soaking Up The Sun

Seasons Chinese Restaurant, Berwick

Photo Credit: http://www.seasonschineserestaurant.com.au There used to be a pretty bad Chinese restaurant just around the corner from my house. The food there was really bland, and the restaurant interior really needed a facelift, and it was just really bad quality Chinese food. That restaurant was the “old” Seasons Chinese Restaurant. Just a few weeks ago, Seasons re-opened under its new management. The interior finally got its facelift it deserved, and they actually hired a chef that CAN cook Chinese food. In fact, the chef is Malaysian Chinese (we rock!) so that is even better. It has been a long time … Continue reading Seasons Chinese Restaurant, Berwick

Week 40: Home Photo Shoot

Micah’s first photo shoot with Bettina Baby Modelling Agency is coming up this Friday after we have had to reschedule due to his Hand, Foot and Mouth disease. Now that he’s all better and his face finally cleared up, I thought I’d dress him in the clothes I plan to dress him in this Friday and do a “practice run”. Taking good photos of an active toddler is not easy. Sometimes you cannot even get them to smile if they are too tired or grumpy. Sometimes you cannot get them to keep still, let alone do the pose you want … Continue reading Week 40: Home Photo Shoot

Happier Boy + FIRST STEP!

I am so happy the worst is over. Micah’s HFM has improved significantly. His face is completely clear from spots, the spots on his hands and legs are drying out nicely and the spots in his nappy are fading quickly! He is a much happier boy, and even sleeps better during the day. Today he had a 90-minute nap in the morning and 2-hour nap in the afternoon. He has also been very consistent with sleeping from 7pm – 6am everynight. This whole routine is finally happening the way I want it to. Living the dream! Lol. Micah turns 9 … Continue reading Happier Boy + FIRST STEP!

Chicken Green Curry inspired by Jamie Oliver

Lately, my kitchen started smelling good again… mostly because I’ve been stuck at home all week due to my son’s Hand, Foot and Mouth disease which makes him very contagious to other kids, which meant no playdates, no going out and spreading germs unless we really had to, no seeing friends during the week (because most friends who are free during the week have kids), etc etc… The first few days were okay, I enjoyed spending time with him and making sure he is happy. Poor little boy doesn’t get sick and sad very often, so it made me happy … Continue reading Chicken Green Curry inspired by Jamie Oliver
