Happy 21st Month Chloe!

I'm proud that this beautiful 21-month-old baby understands simple commands and questions but I'm little bit worried that she struggles on talking and getting her meaning across. Instead, she uses sign languages to communicate with us accompanied by few vowel-consonants combinations like, ta-ta-ta-, chu-chu-, mam- mam among others. I'm expecting to hear her "mommy and daddy" and all other gestures in actual words like most toddlers of her age with rapid vocabulary spurt at this stage.

And as normal, I feel guilty spending a little time with my toddler; postponing her dental visits, vaccine schedules, potty training and not concentrating on feeding her healthy foods. Is she lacking on nutrition? I want to discuss this to her doctor but I've never been to her vaccine appointment so I'm stocked.

Not to mention other people asking and comparing her to other children with the same height (which they refer as the same age) with extraordinary speaking development, adding more stress to the situation.

My baby lives in a multi-lingual environment just wait until she become a chatterbox and oh better get ready for every why, what and who questions under the sun.

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...
