"Calm Baby Confident Mum"

This is a *plug* for my friend's book: "Calm Baby Confident Mum"

My friend Simone Boswell has been with us in more than half our parenting journey in Australia. She is a GODly sister and a loyal friend. Her love for GOD reflects in her life and role as a mother and wife. She has 6 homeschooled lively and absolutely delightful children. Her experience in parenting has brought her to many churches and mother's group and she has commited herself to encouraging moms with young ones. She answers phone calls/emails (usually real tough breastfeeding/sleeping issue) as well as run classes on parenting. She STILLS have free time to be a friend, entertain and bless the socks off the people she meets! I have been so blessed as a friend to her and even though I am miles away, I keep her on my 'speeddial' and email hotline.

I have been meeting many young moms with babies, have tried to 'recap' in my mind what we did and done for our girls. In all honesty, the information in our heads are all jumbled up into one HUGE lump. Those early tender years are not usually lived in clarity. So, I recommend that you guys read the book by a lady who's 'been there done that' six times round. Her experience MUST speak volumes! Hmmmm, maybe I should have more kids to 're-live' babyhood again....sigh!

Mathena had her Ballet viewing this afternoon and she did us proud. I was busy filming the whole event on video that I did not take any photos. Here's some that a friend took for us. Well done little munchkin. Mommy, daddy and Letitia are as proud as punch!

Been soooo busy with NOT sure what!

We made Singapore's first ever "Fairy Bread", very uncommon here, as it was a "Fairy tea-party" theme. The last I heard, the little girls invited has been requesting fairy bread for breakfasts! Hehe! Amongst other things, we made Fairy Puppets, we pinned the "Wand" on the Fairy and we played Pass the Parcel.

We had "Body Tattoos" as a party activity. These are the girls at the party.

You can tell we had a small crowd. We had however 15 adults though.

To our surprise, we were given a box of lovely pink frosted cupcakes which I promptly maximised it into Mathena's 4th Birthday cake collection. It tasted chocolate-y yummy and was great as 'friendly neighbour' gifts!! I now regret not keeping more to enjoy...
