Happy 16th Month Chloe!




So being busy isn’t always best. I forgot to keep track and write series about Chloe’s 15th month birthday because I was caught up with too many chaotic movements that don’t actually matter.

So many things need to be done. Moving out of our apartment, finding a new place and going out of the country is creating more chaos than excitement. I’m so stressed that I freak out on every single thing or people I came in contact with.

Too bad my daughter is unleashing more of her “naughty” side, testing my limits to a more frustrating level. Like for example when Mommy said “don’t play with the electric fan” she would run as fast as she could just to get away from Mommy and accidentally bang her head on the wall. Oh great, all that Mommy wanted is for her daughter to be safe and free from accidents but now she’s hurt. But because Mommy was so stressed with the world outside home, not to mention the kind of pressure she was under, MOMMY BECAME A MONSTER. She ended up hitting the baby instead of hugging and calming her down which is more frustrating as a mother. 

And it hits me. I felt like I’d failed at all aspects of motherhood. 

I learned my lesson the hard way. I’m glad I have a very supportive husband to calm both the mommy and the baby. He hugged the upset baby and told me that these are all normal part of how kids learn and grow and that I should not take things personally. I’m relieved. 

And Chloe being the sweetest 16th month old girl I always know, she held my hands and I gently whispered to her ear how sorry I was and that I love her so much. 

Xoxo,

Mommy

Irresistible Me Diamond Flat Iron Review: Is it worth it?

I started using flat irons since I was 18 years old (well, that was 12 years ago?) and I’m amazed at how the industry of hair straighteners had come. Man, I think we're missing out on some great deal. Flat iron over the years, We all know the humble beginnings of hair comb or some may call them hair thongs which are made of two rods heated to straighten the hair. I never get to use this one as I was introduced to the second generation of hair straighteners and that was using a standard home clothes iron. Nah, I mean the basic flat irons made with metal plates and few heat settings. Not until the early 2000s when I saw this model with ceramic plates that most people use today. Ceramic is by far the most popular material for this product as it is both inexpensive and actually safer compared to the clothing iron or heating rods back in days. Depending on your hair type, ceramic plates are believed to lock in moisture and protect hair color. But with a lot of this model...

Simple Mother's Day Celebration

My persona has changed since I gave birth to Chloe and you may be wondering how much adjustment I am dealing with? I’m talking about a massive 360 degrees turn of personality from young-and-self-centered-me to a-feeling-40-year-old-lady who have a say to almost everything (solicited or not)! In short I’m from blah to blah blah blah and blah. Lol! Everyone who knows me will tell you how extremely quiet I am. When asked about certain topic or opinion I’m completely mum thinking that whatever I have to say wouldn’t matter anyway, because well, I’m afraid I lack the experiences and guts. But I realized, with a new responsibility in mind I can do something truly great in this lifetime. I can be the voice of the voiceless through my writing. That’s when I took my blogging to a whole new level a.k.a the annoying proud parent. I think Chloe wants me to die with sweetness ayie :) And this mother’s day I want to give emphasis and address the poor health care (OR THE LAC...

Amazing Fun Time in the Bath with Pout Care's Best Products

Hi Mommies, Is shower time always a struggle with your toddler? Here are few tricks I borrowed from other mommies that might help you turn bath time into a super fun and amazing mommy-baby bonding :) When Chloe refuses to take a shower, I try to make it fun by adding bubbles and her favorite toys in the tub. Once she sees me carrying her toys and towel to the shower room, she will follow right away. I even squeeze a little bit of shampoo for extra bubbles and splash it happily just to keep her busy. I sing silly songs, nursery rhymes, play ball games and pretend like we are swimming in a big wide pool. But a few weeks ago I was in a dilemma with Chloe's thinning hair due to hair breakage and hair fall. Her hair tends to get dry so I try to get away from applying shampoo straight to her hair and managed to use a wet washcloth when rinsing instead of directly pouring water to her head. Then, inst...
