The twelve-month vaccinations

At the GP surgery waiting for her turn...

Took Lily-May to her twelve-month vaccination this afternoon. Oh my, she was given three jabs:

• Hib/Men C booster. Given as a single jab containing meningitis C, third dose and Hib, fourth dose.
• MMR (measles, mumps and rubella), given as a single jab
• Pneumococcal infection, third dose

She was so brave, she started to cry when the third jab was given, and then I comforted her and showed her some toys to distract her. She stopped and back to her old self again when we got back to the car.

Well, at least now there will be no more jabs until she starts pre-school.

At home, and still my happy baby!

Bouncy castle

Bought a bouncy castle to put in our garden so that Jinc and Lily May get to play outside more. Not sure how long the hot weather is going to last, and let's be hopeful!

The bouncy castle is bought from Tesco costs £79.99. It is very easy to inflate, and it comes with a handy storage bag too, which means we can bring it to nanny's house to set it up in her garden too!

Some bouncing fun!!

Blogger on the go!

Just downloaded this blogger app for Iphone. Hope this will encourage me to post more frequently.

One milk

This scene of having two different tins (types) of baby formula milk has come to a stop. Nowadays, there is only one tin of the same type on the kitchen table top.

Both Jinc and Lily-May are having the same type of formula milk, the toddler milk. Babies grow up really quickly, or rather the time passes so quickly and I hardly ever notice. From the newborn infant milk powder to follow-on milk, and now, both of my children are having toddler milk.

I still breastfeed Lily-May, only in the night....and I am still not sure when I will stop breast feeding. I feel that this is happening too fast, and soon, there will be no more shopping at the baby department! Will I get used to all these, or there will be another baby coming along?

Pictures, pictures...

I am taking so much pictures of my two little ones, every week.

They grow up so quickly and I really enjoy taking their pictures. I love looking back at those picture a few weeks later, or sometimes a few months later. Yes, those are precious pictures, as time passes so quickly and we can never turn back time. I feel truly grateful and privileged that I am a stay-at-home mom, I am always with them during every stage of their development milestones.

Motherhood, is simply wonderful.

Sugar can cook!

It is wonderful to have a husband who can cook better than I do.. For the past few days, Sugar has been the chef of the house and I am one very full-tummy mummy!

How I wish he could cook more regularly and make me put on weight!

Here is one very yummy steam seabass pic...Impress?

It's Instagram Sunday again!

Sunny Sunday, like!

FInally, I can hang my washing outside

Ah, sunshine!

I love to hang my washing outside. We have a tumble dryer at home, and it is such a great help during the cold weather seasons. Been using it so much, but as much as I would prefer, I would always love to hang my washing outside.

Today, it is my very first time in 2012 that I could hang my washing on the washing line in our garden.

Hope to have more days like this...

Jinc's ticker says....

I like Lilypie tickers. I have just updated it.

The ticker says, Jinc is 2 years, 2 months, 2 weeks & 2 days old (today). Wow!!

9pm, and all to bed!

This is heaven, both babies are in bed! It is 9.00pm!

It's been a long day, so glad that I can have some quiet time, yet I am feeling sleepy now. Just don't think I can do much.

To all the tired mothers out there, good night and sleep tight...

Instagram Craze!

Been using Instagram a lot these days, to randomly upload pictures of my two babies and my home cooking meals pictures.

Fun, in a way, and it is also my biggest procrastinator during the day!

Fantastic Birthday Celebration!

We had a lovely birthday meal last night at a Thai restaurant called the Thai Rama, at Colwall. Food was average, perhaps we have got high expectations. The service was very good, very baby-friendly.

Anyway, a fantastic night with the 'grand parents', and Uncle Kim. A good 1st birthday celebration for Lily-May, her first birthday cake experience!

First shoes experience

Took Lily-May to Clarks to have her very first shoe-fitting. Got her her very first pair of proper walking shoes, although she cannot walk just yet. This is an important milestone for her. I hope she will grow up like most girls do, loving shoes and shares her interest in shoes shopping just like her mommy!

When it comes to shoes, you are spoilt for choice (mommy's quote)!

The shoe-fitter measuring Lily-May's foot

Which one?

Looking stylish in her new shoes

We received the keepsake photo of Lily-May in her first shoes, a fit check reminder card, a first shoes book and a height chart. All will go into Lily-May's treasure box!

Later, we went to M&S and got her a cute little cardigan and a dress for her birthday too!

Will be going to have a birthday meal with Lily-May's English nan and grand dad at a Thai restaurant later this evening.We have got the birthday cake ready, and let's just hope the food is good!

Lily May is one today

I just cannot believe how time flies.

It is already one year since I hold my wriggly new born...Lily-May turns one today! Happy birthday to you, my angel. I love you! I just want you to grow up happily and healthily, forever my baby!

Instagram Sunday..

Simply love Instagram. It is such a brilliant invention!
Here's one for today:

Missing every one at home....

It's been two weeks since we come back here to the UK. Missing every one back home in Malaysia. Even Jinc and Lily-May miss their grand parents, aunties & uncles and cousins!

Me Time!

It's 10pm, totally exhausted when my two babies have finally gone to bed!

Now, some time to myself, whether to do some reading, browsing the net or tidying up our dining-cum-study table, it is ever so precious. Hard to get quiet time like this when I have two demanding young children.

I guess it is time for me to sort out those pictures taken during our five weeks holiday in Malaysia.We took close to 3000 pictures during our five weeks stay in Malaysia, including those from my Iphone.

Love taking pictures, and sharing pictures. We used to print out photos and keep it in a photo album. With digital age now, photo taking has become so common and unlimited. I wonder how many people do actually print out photos to keep in an album. I do, honestly. I will choose those photos that speak and print them out to be kept in my ever so precious photo albums!

Here is a pic, mom and I, taken some 34 years ago, in the seventies! Glad that it is a coloured photo. I think I look so much like my mom, and Lily-May looks so much like me too! Wonder whether Lily-May will have a daughter who looks alike her in the future?

Happy Mother's Day, to you, my mom! and to self too!

Yes, this is very interesting.

More rain...

Sneaked out to town to get some jogger pants for myself while Sugar looked after the two little ones. Parked at the river side car park as it was the nearest to the high street. I only had one hour so I got to be clever with my time.

Saw that the high water level at the river, due to a lot of rain for the whole week. We used to walk along the river side, admiring the swans and the good weather. Now, it is flooded, literally. But I could see the swans were enjoying themselves!

Oh, I also love sneaking out for a quick shopping all by myself!

Lily May's first hair cut (DIY)

The length of her hair...

(BEFORE) A close-up

Lily-May will be one next week, and I think she is in need for a hair cut. I do want her to have girly long hair when she is older, she is my little princess after all.

It is quite annoying to see the back of her hair, long and growing but not the front part. Well, I wanted to cut it for her but just did not seem to find the right time to do it. I have got a pair of home-used hairdressing scissors specifically used for cutting children's hair. So, I did it today, during her bath. No mess. Just a few snips, and there it is.. not-so-perfect bob. Not bad for her first hair cut experience, I would say.

AFTER

I could remember that Jinc had his very first hair cut when he was about nine months old. He had it when we went on holiday to Malaysia on 2010. He cried so much at the hairdresser in my hometown, and I did mange to snap a few pictures though, the crying faces, and the reluctant-faced hairdresser!

A chilly Saturday

The weather is still cold and wet. We have not been going out much, as both little ones have colds and coughs.. Dreadful nights too. Hope they both get well soon, and also hope the sun comes out more often so that we get to play outside more!

A good friend is becoming a father soon!

News just in! One of my (male) best friends is going to be a father soon, for the first time!

So happy for him, a dream comes true! This is also the lunar year of the dragon, so it is going to be a 'dragon' baby!

Expect more baby news this year. So far, I have got three cousins who are expecting, one in June, and one in September. Not too sure about the other one.

Also, our good friends back home, Nic and Rachel are expecting their first born in about two weeks time, a baby girl!

I can never stop feeling excited for them! I simply love getting baby news!

A birthday party

Enjoying his juice

It's a birthday party!

It was Jinc's little friend, Ed's 4th birthday yesterday. His mom organised a birthday party and we were invited.

I must say, Helen, Ed's mom was very good in organising games for all the children. I have got to learn from her as I am planning to hold birthday parties when both Jinc and Lily May are a bit older, so that they understand better.

The weather was sunny and lovely too, and after the blowing of candles, all the children went to the garden and played.

We had a fantastic time! For Jinc, it was full of fun games with other children, presents and party snacks. Lily-May was equally happy at the party. For me, of course, the good company of other moms and also great time with all the other children!

It was our very first time to a birthday party, and looking forward to attending more children parties in the future!

Back to normal...

Our long holiday has come to an end... Arrived the UK on Sunday, and for the next couple of days, we literally slept and did nothing!

Sugar is now back to work, I am now back to my normal stay-at-home mum life. The babies are getting their routine back.

It is lovely to be back, in a way... even though we miss our family in Malaysia dearly!

Kuala Lumpur...

Still in Kuala Lumpur, and not much time to post on my blog. Also, very limited excess to broadband due to my stay at mom in law's.

We are not returning until two weeks time, due to some personal matter.

So, we have five weeks holiday instead of three, and hope Sugar won't lose his job!

I am so enjoying MY holiday!

It's hot, hot, hot, in Kuala Lumpur!

Still packing..?

Flying off to Kuala Lumpur in a few hours time, early in the morning! Very excited and I just could not sleep!

Will do a short post, because I am still not done with the packing, oh dear!

Still so many things to bring and I am hoping that we will not exceed the baggage weight allowance. We only have 80kg for the four of us!

We have two large size (30 inches) suitcases, two cabin size (19 inches) suitcases, one large LV luggage, and finally, two hand-carry holdalls.

I am sure we will exceed the weight allowance, and let's see how the airport staff let us through this time!


We are using American Tourister suitcases. I thought there are some really good bargains for Samsonite too,

Packing for holiday...

Done with the things-to-bring check list, but not the packing.

I just do not know where to start.

Can't wait to go to the airport!!! Wondering how would Lily May behave on the plane?

Getting ready for holiday!

We will be going to Kuala Lumpur for our three weeks holiday!

Cant wait to see our family back home!

I am going to do a check list for things to bring...it is not easy to travel with two young children. I am sure I will enjoy the packing process, and I am also very sure that I will forget to bring something (even to have a check list)!!

Happy Birthday Jinc!

Two today!!

An elderly woman knitted this cuddly toy!

Very lovely... Nanny gave Lily May this teddy as one of the Christmas presents. Love the colours and love how it feels when I hold her.

This teddy looks very 'homely' and I instantly fell in love with it. Just the other day, I was flipping it around trying to find where it was made, hoping to find her name too, but could not find any labels. So I asked nanny where she got it from. To my surprise, it was hand knitted by an elderly woman, whom she looks after on her day-care job. The woman is in her eighties and I she loves knitting on her free time!

It is good to know that someone made this with love, and we are loving it as much as the woman who knitted it!

Rock N Rolla Cow!

During the day, refuse to get down after a few rounds...

Still think it is a lot of fun!

Ride on it for a few more rounds before going to bed!! (..and he thought he looked cool with a cap on but in his pajamas, oh dear! He put the cap on himself and wanted me to take a picture, how cheeky!)

Jinc's favourite ride-on toy for the moment, the Rock N' Rolla cow. It is a Christmas present for Lily May from Sugar's colleagues. But Lily May is still too young to play with it. Its wheels can be taken off, and the cow will become a rocking cow instead.

Jinc prefers it with the wheelie way, and he could just wheel around our lounge in the 'fast n' furious' style!! It looks quite funny when he is speeding by just holding the tiny cow's ears!

Check out Amazon for more Rock N Rolla toys:

Lily-May is eight months old!

Not a good week, Lily May has got a temperature, due to teething. Therefore, she could not sleep well during the night, and neither do I.

Dreadful to see her feeling uncomfortable,my poor baby. She also has some rashes around her cheeks, neck, chest and a little bit at her back. It is teething rash as well. Been giving her Calpol and hope she feels better soon.

Just can't wait to see her first tooth cutting through...

My girl...

Lily May is such a happy baby. Too cute!

Lily May, my sweet heart,you make me happy every day.
Words just cannot describe my love for you.Your very existence is a dream come true. I love you unconditionally!

Home, faraway

We are going home to Malaysian in March, to celebrate my brother's wedding!

Also, one good reason for a holiday abroad. It is going to be our very first family holiday with two young children. Very looking forward to it.

It will take us at least fourteen hours to reach home by an aeroplane. Too far, and I wish, one day I could live closer to my family, and closer to home, fourteen-minutes-drive will sound ideal!

Looks like I am having a bad week!

The washing machine in the house decided to stop working, and it is no way for me to do a hand wash!

Can you imagine how bad it is going to be for a house with two young children to survive without a washing machine, and it is winter!

Thank God I have got nanny's help, and we are doing the 'washing-run' on the weekend. Will take the washing to hers and collect it the next day!

Hope the new machine won't take long to arrive!

North Face

The winter sale is on, just can't resist hunting for bargains.

Sugar browsed some websites the other day and bought ourselves a North Face body warmer from their official site.

Sugar got the black one, and I chose to have the brown one. We received the parcel today. Very comfy and practical, just what we wanted. I think it looks very nice on me too! The best part is, it is 20% off the normal retail price. What a bargain!

Amazon has some really good bargain for North Face too! Check it out!

For the boyfriends or husbands:


and for us ladies:

Jinc is a winner!

Got an email from Petit Filous. It is a winning notification. Jinc has won in the Little Rascal Competion by Petit Filous for the month of November 2011. The prize is a £50 Boots gift card. What a nice little surprise!

I have totally forgotten that I have entered this competition. As always, Petit Filous is Jinc's favourite. Now, we have another good reason to love Petit Filous. Have blogged about Petit Filous previously too and did not expect to win anything. Just enter for fun.

To see Jinc's winning pic, click into the Little Rascal winners page!

Very good start for the new year, and hope that in this new year, we get to win many more things! 2012 is going to be a winning year for us!

Happy New Year!!!

It's 2012, Happy New Year Everyone!!

Love 'HomeSense'

Simply love HomeSense. We have a HomeSense in our town, and we love to shop there for little things to add to our home.

Been getting some good finds every time we go there. Until today, I still love the Missoni throw that we got from there in 2009.

These days, I love HomeSense Blog, it is very inspiring, it is my 'feel good' blog at the moment!

Diarrhea

Jinc has diarrhea. My poor baby! Wondering whether it is the orange. He had just had half of the navel orange, which is quite big for a toddler boy!

Been getting him to the toilet three times now. It is good though as he is using the toilet seat trainer, save me cleaning his bum with all the dirty nappies. But I will expect some dirty nappies to come along soon.

Well, this is my very first time dealing with a child with diarrhea. I do not want to feel panic, it is very common in small children. I have just read some good advice on the web, one of them is to have some yogurt. So, I am giving him some yogurt, and I will stop giving him his bottle of milk for the moment.

Hope he gets well soon. I will have a very busy next-few-days, I reckon! A not-very-good ending for year 2011 huh?!

Work from home...

I am a stay-at-home mom. I have got two young children, and just because of the high childcare costs, I am left with no other choice but to take a career pause. For me, I think it is such a big change to give up my full time job and stay at home to look after my two young children.

I am looking around for some online jobs that I could do just to make myself feel like I can be a work-from-home mom! I have just enrolled myself to Amazon Associate programmes. I hope this will help to generate some 'pocket money' online through my blog. This is a trial and also a first step for me to feel 'work' other than housework!

So, if you think you kinda like browsing Amazon, or regularly make purchase through Amazon, feel free to click on the Amazon banners, or use the Amazon search engine, or to buy things by clicking through to the Amazon page.

Still feeling festive....

Christmas is over, but I am still feeling festive! Too much of Christmas puddings, perhaps?

Love festive seasons and celebrations!...and now I am so looking forward to Chinese New Year!! It is another year in a foreign country where most of the people here do not celebrate the Chinese New Year. Does not matter, as we are having our own celebrations and enjoy the differences just because we are in the United Kingdom!

Just in time for Christmas...

All the parcels arrived this morning!
Impressed with the speed of delivery through online shopping!

Big thank you to the postman too!

Jinc's first quad bike, a gift from Uncle Kim

Bits n' bobs

What a lovely ride, complete with safety gears!

Jinc's favourite uncle, Uncle Kim bought Jinc a quad bike for Christmas!

It is a red battery powered quad bike. Jinc is delighted and he just cannot wait to ride it. He did help Uncle Kim to set up the quad bike. It took them about half an hour to set it all up. Uncle Kim made sure the battery was fully charged a night before, so that Jinc could ride on it on the day that he brought the quad bike to our house.

Big thank you to Uncle Kim!

Want some Christmas pudding?

I am having this festive mood, so happy!

Sugar will have three days off for Christmas, not a lot, but we are looking forward to it.

We will be over to nanny's on Christmas day, so, lots of food, wine and presents!

Christmassy

Christmas is only a few days away...

We bought more things for Christmas, it is online Christmas shopping, hassle free! Hope all the items will arrive on the 24th!

Sugar bought a pair of Tateossian cufflink for himself. This is his second gift to himself, he bought an EA scarf from House of Fraser last week. He bought a Mango winter jacket for me, it is a blue belted coat with hood. I saw this in House of Fraser but they had nothing in my size, so he got it online for me. He also bought a Dorma duvet cover set for our bed.

As for the kids, we got Lily-May a Recaro carseat in girly pink. Lily-May has moved a size up and cannot fit in her infant car seat anymore... we bought Jinc a transporter set (toy), and it comes with eight little cars as well.

Can't wait until Christmas!!

All ready for Christmas, this year, we are going to spend our Christmas Day at nanny's, just like last year's. She is our English family, and I just can't wait to see them all.

Little friends....

It is always nice to have friends coming over for coffee and a chat. It is even nicer if they have got young children. I love to see Jinc plays with other young children and make friends.

I would think Jinc is very sociable at his age, and he can get along well with children around his age. They can play really well together although Jinc is still at the learn-to-talk stage. They tend to communicate well with each other. I wonder how, but it seemed so natural for them. It is wonderful to see him interacting with other children and have lots of fun.

Just the other day, Helen came over to our house with her two little ones, Ed and Annie. Jinc was happy to play his toys with Ed and copied funny actions that Ed did to him. He laughed so much and it was really great to see Jinc playing with his little friends!

Lily-May is still too young to play with the boys, but she did interact well with baby Annie. Smiled a lot and responded to us when we called her name.

I simply love having friends around!

Tastebuds

Will be gone in seconds!!

Lily-May has started solids for about a couple of weeks. Oh, this girl is a real foodie! She loves her food and would try every new taste that I offered to her.

She is so easy and I am happily making pureed baby food. Pic shown a bowl of pureed carrot and Lily-May loves it!

It is a new stage for Lily-May, to acquire tastes. I am, again, preparing batches of pureed food and freeze them. I love doing this... I also love seeing Lily-May clearing the plate on each meal! All the hard work of preparing baby food is well worth it!

A pink pushchair for Lily-May

Wanted to post this when we bought this buggy for Lily-May about eight months ago! I keep forgetting!

Well, it is Maclaren Techno XLR, in girly pink, how wonderful! Bought it from Mothercare and it was on sale.

This pink pushchair is specifically bought for Lily-May. I dismissed the idea of getting another pushchair for Lily-May as we have already got one and a Quinny pushchair as well. I am more than happy to let her use whatever Jinc used before. But, Sugar insisted we get a brand new one for our daughter, and this Maclaren is simply perfect, and I really like it as it comes with a foot muff, just perfect for cold weather.

Jinc's first wellies

Bought Jinc his very first pair or wellington boots. Jinc chose its design in the shoe shop, he loves Peppa pig!

I thought he would choose Bob The Builder or some Thomas and Friends, but...quite a surprise!

Not sure whether we will have snow this month, but the wellies will come in handy when we go to the park or have a walk in the woods! He can play in puddles too!

Was browsing Amazon the other day and I especially love this pair or Hunter Pink wellies! Lily-May can have one of those when she is older!

Selling our Quinny

I am sorting out some baby items, to be given away to friends, to sell or to give it to the local charity shops. It is quite sad though, as we are not having any more babies. Babies grow so fast, or rather the time passes so quickly... My two babies, are no longer newborn wiggly babies....

I would very much love to keep most of the items. Due to storage problems, and we are also planning to move, it is only wise to give those items away, to those who would use them and love them!

Of all the items, there is this Quinny travel system that I am planning to sell it. It is very expensive when we bought it in 2010 before Jinc arrived. Hardly used it when Lily-May is born as she has got her new buggy! Furthermore, Lily-May can't fit the infant car seat anymore, she has since move up to Group 1 car seat. See this link about types of child car seat, it is very informative!

Blogged about our Quinny when we bought it in January 2010.. Can't believe it, we are now selling it!

I am a member of Netmums, so it is very convenient to advertise locally on its nearly new section. I am selling it at £200, inclusive of pushchair, carrycot, Maxicosi car seat, car seat adapters, rain covers, shopping basket, Quinny storage bag and full instruction manual. It still looks brand new!

Hope someone out there will think this is a bargain and bring it home!

I feel very emotional packing and clearing away all these 'used' baby items!

Shoe-shopping!

Bought a pair of winter boots! It is the Skechers Tone Up boots! Comfy and stylish! Just perfect for my not-so-long legs!! Love the brown one, but none in my size, so I got the black one instead. Good with jeans!

Easily available online!

Steamy hot curry noodles

...just perfect for winter, Asian style!!

Pic shown a very spicy curry noodles. I made this, it is such a comfort food for winter! It is the Malaysian style curry Laksa, the dry version. I made it with beansprouts, some peas and fried tofu!

Simply yummy!

Lily-May is seven months old!

Lily-May is seven months old!
She is sitting up already!
She loves her food and willing to try new tastes!
She sleeps through the night, and she is very easy going.
She is teething at the moment, and she drools a lot, therefore she wears a bib. Sometimes she does not like her bib and she is able to take off her bib, and yes, the Velcro type. She can take those bibs off easily!

She is so chubby, so cute and when she is in my arms, I just can't stop kissing her!

Love her chunky thighs too!

Baby Owen!

A friend, Sophy has become a mom!

Went to see her and her new baby, Owen. What a beautiful baby, thick black hair and sharp pointed nose. Sophy is doing a great job in breast feeding him.

Like every new mum, Sophy is quite confused and worried about little things for her baby. This is normal and I assure her that when I was a first time mum, I was even more worried!

Anyway, it is always good to see her and I have encouraged her to call me more often if she is sometimes worry and does not know what to do! I guess all new mums just need to have moms friends to share thoughts and experiences with, and I am glad that I am able to give her advice and tell her my own experience!

Worcester Woods Country Park

It was our first time to the Worcester Woods Country Park. A friend, Helen suggested that we bring our two kids there, and she could bring her twin buggy so that Lily-May could enjoy the great outdoor in the buggy. Helen is a mom of two too, her son Edward, who is three and Annie who is ten months old enjoy going to the park!

The country park is very close to our home, less than five minutes drive. It is a very baby friendly park. Car park is free. It has a play park for younger children, and another one for older children.

Weather was lovely. We had a great time playing in the park, and had a good walk in the woods. Lily-May was fast asleep in the buggy when we were in the woods. Jinc enjoyed himself too! Later, we went to the cafe for some snacks. There is a little play area in the cafe too.

I simply love baby-friendly park.

Yummy Annabel Karmel Snacks

I loev to give Jinc a treat once in awhile, and I am very careful in selecting snacks for my toddler. I, especially love Annebel Karmel snacks.

Looking at the wide choices, Jinc's favourite is the Cheese & Onion & rice & corn snacks, and he especially loves the Mickey packaging.

If you too like Annabel Karmel like I do, I am sure you will love all her books, check them all out at Amazon:

You could be a millionaire tonight!

I do play lottery online, therefore I am a registered user of Lotto.

It is very convenient to play lottery online. I am not a weekly player, not very regular I would say, but, once in a while, when I feel 'inspired', I will just play some...who knows?

I receive emails from them every week, and most of the time I will just delete those emails. Today, this email caught my eye and its subject simply said 'you could be a millionaire tonight', oh! how I wish! It is the Euromillion rollover. OK, why not, go on then, let's give it a try. It is only £2 for each play.

Let's hope I will become a millionaire tonight!

All sorted..

Christmas shopping, all sorted!

What a relieve!

JInc is 21 months

Jinc is going to be two...

This is a very fun and annoying stage, as he still cannot communicate his needs properly, he gets very frustrated and throws tantrums, anytime, anywhere!

Scary, yes, and this is the so-called Terrible TWO! They did not call it the terrible two for nothing!

20.11.2011

Today is 20.11.2011.

Babies born today are going to be so special, 20.11.2011!

The White Company

Sugar and I decided to have an early Christmas shopping to sort out all the Christmas presents. So, we took Jinc and Lily-May to nanny's, and off we go, two adults, no babies, no buggies, and a shopping trip to Gloucester Quay.

There, in this shop called The White Company is having a SALE. Brilliant. We bagged most of our bargain from this shop, and most of things were for our two little ones.

We bought four pajamas sets for Jinc, four little dresses and two cute cardigans, and a pajamas set for Lily-May (some shown in pics). Most of Lily-May's are of merino wool. I, especially love merino wool for babies, just perfect for winter, as merino wool is excellent at regulating body temperature. It can do this because each of the very fine fibres has a microscopic layer of trapped air. This then traps body heat to keep baby warm when it is cold and cool when it is warm.

As for myself, I bought myself a pair of white jeans..white jeans from The White Company, how convincing! It is straight leg and it fits me perfectly. This is also my first pair of new jeans after I have given birth to Lily-May. It is in lovely white and I feel so elegant, and the cut fits my body shape perfectly.

We did not get any candles or bed linen this time.

The rest of the shopping, consists of more cloths (man and woman), lingerie, man's underwear, some accessories, and small little unique gifts as stocking fillers!

Cars 2

We were over at a friend's, and they played the Cars2 DVD. Jinc absolutely loved it, as he is very obsessed with cars. It is a boy thing I guess. He could sit still and watch the whole movie without feeling bored. Now I know how to keep him sit still!

Cars2 DVD is easily available online, if you fancy some Pixar movies!
