Afternoon nap...

Took the kids to our rooms upstairs for an afternoon nap, and when the two of them had fallen asleep, I fell asleep too. Woke up about 30 minutes later, refreshed. The two babies are still fast asleep!

So, a bit of me-time...browsing the internet and replying emails. Like I could never find the time to use my notebook properly, but now I can.but, not for long!

Tooth paste art

Jinc was playing in the bathroom after his bath. I was just in the other room tidying up stuff. When I walked in to the bathroom to check him out, I saw this (pic)!
He thought it was so much fun squirting tooth paste. So, there was another round of washing his hands and cleaning the bathroom! See, I am a very busy mom!

Sunny...

So happy to see the bright sun, hey, it's summer, but we have had some rain too for the past few days...

It is so hot and we had lunch in our garden instead! Jinc loved it that we had lunch sitting outside for a change.

Oh yes, we went to a BBQ on Sunday and every one there adored my two children, I am feeling so proud as every one said I have done a great job. Jinc and Lily May enjoyed themselves playing with other children, lots of running around, chasing each other. It was so fun to see them play together! Oh, and the laughter, it just so so precious! Life is good!

A friend's studio

A good friend, Theresa, her studio is opening soon! So happy for her!

She is a photographer and she is a mom of two boys! I wonder how she did it, juggling between family and setting up her own studio? Can't wait to meet up with her and hear her story!

Check out her website, Theresa Furey Photography for fabulous photography works! We are thinking to do a family portrait by the end of this year...

Toy Water Gun

Daddy's colleague bought a toy water gun for Jinc. What a nice toy to play in the garden! Jinc loves it and he plays with it every day. The only thing is, the water runs out very quickly, and I am like filling up water for hundreds of times. I am a very busy mom, you see...

Let's relax, it's Sunday!

Took my two angels for a short walk this morning. I always thought this was quite tough. As time passes, Jinc is nearly two and a half, and he understands more. It is easier to communicate with him and teach him about things that he should not do when we are crossing the road, etc. As for Lily May, she is fifteen months old, quite an easy going stage, so I do not worry too much about her.

So, here we go, Lily May got onto the buggy, and Jinc tag along, by holding onto the side of the buggy, or holding my hands. When we were crossing the road, he walked very close to me and he knew how to behave when we were crossing the road.

We walked to Tesco for a brief shopping, then Lily May fell asleep. Jinc got a little treat for behaving well, he got a sweet. Then, we walked to the play park and had fun playing and running around. Lily May was still fast asleep so I let Jinc enjoyed as much as he wanted.

We had a lovely walk, enjoyed the fresh air, and headed home for lunch just before 12p.m.

A very sleepy Saturday

I have been feeling so sleepy since mid morning. Not sure why, looks like I have not had a proper sleep last night.

Just wish my two monsters will go to bed early...We are going to have an early night tonight, even though it is weekend!

Girly T-shirts

Bought three girly T-shirts for Lily May. They are just so irresistible. All girly sweet. Just can't wait to put them on Lily May!

I love having a little girl in the house!

World Breastfeeding Week

This week is World Breastfeeding Week. It is a time to celebrate breastfeeding! As a mom of two, am doing it to both of my children. When it was with Jinc, I got pregnant again when he was only about six months old, so I stopped breastfeed him.

Lily May is fifteen months old, and I am still breastfeeding her.I am so proud that I am still breastfeeding her at this stage. I love how she loves my breasts before bed, and I love it every time she tries to pull my shirt and looking for my breasts!

For all the breastfeeding mums out there, happy breastfeeding! Well done!

Imaginary....

Jinc put a bowl of play-Doh into the dish cupboard in our kitchen. He said he wanted to heat it up, just like mummy using the microwave heating up his food sometimes! Oh dear. He is copying things we adults do!

On another note, spot the formula milk that we stock up at the background. It was a price cut, from £8.99 a tin to £6.00 at Tesco, during its Baby and Toddler Event! We bought a dozen, and it is huge savings when you have two toddlers having milk twice a day!

It's raining again!

....so hey, we are staying in and watch the telly!

Lazy rainy day, got to think of fun things to do in the house with the kids...hmm?

36th birthday

Today is my 36th birthday, and because it falls on a Sunday, I feel extremely bless because the husband is not working on 'this' Sunday. He normally works on weekends. So, it is a very special birthday for me!

It is also special as we are going to nanny's house later, and she is having a mini buffet, also her kids are coming home too so we will have lots of people and lots of food, going to be a real celebration!

Yay!

A surprise!

I love surprises, especially on the eve of my birthday, and to make the surprise more pleasant, it came from my husband!

He came home from work and gave me a lovely surprise. He got me a nice birthday present! It was 50 shades trilogy in a very sweet looking paper bag, inside was a lovely pink birthday card, said 'with love for my wonderful wife on your birthday'...!


I am not sure I have the time to read all three books within days or weeks, or could be months. I have never properly read a book since I became a mother... Hope I will be able to read the whole thing by my next birthday!

Very looking forward to reading the first book. Will start doing it when the kids go to bed tonight!

Gadget for housewife!

This mini chopper is such a useful tool in my kitchen. Bought it from Argos two days ago and have been using it everyday. Saves me lots of time from chopping. It is very easy to use and easy to clean! Wonder why I did not get a chopper earlier. It makes cooking so much easier and so much fun.

We can share...

Jinc and Lily May are so 'grown up' these days, they actually share their snacks, even though I put the snack in one bowl.

Today, Jinc said he was saving all the pink Smarties for his little sister. How sweet!

More like a proper summer now...

Oh yeah!
We are on shorts and vests now! How cool, because it is now s.u.m.m.e.r!

The 2012 Olympics Opening Ceremony

So grateful that we have a TV in the house!

Was watching the Olympics Opening Ceremony from the beginning right through the end! Love all the performances, and the bit that I love most was Daniel Craig as James Bond, the 'Bond' part! Oh yes, and Mr Bean too. It was very unexpected to see Mr Bean appearing in such a formal opening ceremony... It's all British humour, I had a good laugh!

Proper summer, now...

So hot, and yes, this is a complain!

Safari Park

We went to the safari park! It was the West Midlands Safari and Leisure Park, which was about 40 minutes drive from where we live. I would say, not a very long journey. We had so much fun and totally enjoyed ourselves. I would recommend it to friends as it is really a great place for family outings. Children will definitely love it!

Jinc loved to see all the animals. It was a very good experience for him to learn about animals. He had already known a few (tiger, lion, giraffe, monkey, hippo, rhino, zebra, horse, etc), now he can identify more animals, such as camel, peacock, chimpanzee, and lots more.

The safari park was not just animals. There was a family theme park too. We did not go on any of the rides as the kids were still too young. We had a great time walking and watching the others play.

Oh yes, the tickets to the safari park can be used twice. We would probably go again before the summer ends!

Mini Chopper...

I am thinking to get myself a mini chopper. I will use it to do mince pork, to chop onions or garlic, to chop herbs, to do pesto sauce, to chop vegetables, etc. Just so many uses, and I certainly need one.

Been looking around at Amazon, and read some good reviews too. Well, I am so going to get one now!

You can get one online too, they are inexpensive and very useful in the kitchen!
