I'm a full-time mummy

Previously, we've not been bothered with Christmas tree decorations and just use a very small table top Christmas tree (like 1 feet or something) which was used long long ago when my father in law was still alive and had a car workshop which my MIL will put the mini tree up whenever Christmas time is near. So, with this year, hubby decided we should get a Christmas tree! And so, we've been searching for an appropriate Christmas tree for some time.

Table top? Put on the floor? 3 feet? 4 feet? Artificial? Real one?

How about the deco? Get those already come with the deco? Or buy them separately?

Gaaaa... all these questions...

And finally hubby bought our first proper Christmas tree!

It was a 4 feet artificial Christmas tree, it came with some basic ornaments and has this fiber optic thingy at the end of the firs which lits up the tree in few different colors when you turned on its switch. As in, you see the tree changes colors every few seconds. Nice! And the fiber optic thingy is very safe and Ben could touch it without us having to worry he might fry his fingers or get himself electrocuted... What a bling-bling tree huh?

After the pictures above were taken, my MIL has moved the tree onto the TV cabinet as she's scared Ben is going to pull down the tree. And  I  have also quietly took out and nicely told her NOT to put in some of the ornaments she sneakily added into the Christmas tree.

Just in case you want to know, Chinese New Year ornaments SHOULD NEVER NEVER EVER be mixed into a Christmas tree. Thankfully, my MIL has gotten the hint after my very polite pep talk and has not been adding in her Chinese New Year ornaments anymore...

Now, we only have to put up the Christmas presents below the tree and we're done!

To those of you who are celebrating Christmas, my family and I would like to wish you a blessed Christmas and a wonderful year ahead!

And those who are not celebrating Christmas, have a wonderful holidays and year ahead too!

One day, while Ben was sitting on my lap fiddling with my camera, I decided instead of worrying that he's going to break it and then taking it away from him as usual, I decided to teach him how to use it. My camera is very easy to use, just point and press the button on the top right corner.

And look what happened when I taught my 21 months old toddler how to use the camera...

Cute eh? I think my boy's got talent!

Ladies and gentlemen!

Today, I'm going to show you guys how to get your toddler (or any young children you have or know) to color like a professional!

Few days ago while I was shopping in a bookstore, I came across this awesome coloring book which I just can't resist and bought one home so that I could let my Ben Gogh had a go at it. All you need is the coloring book, a brush and some water. That's all!

What you need to do is, get a small bottle or container, fill it up with some water, wet your brush with the water and just brush on the coloring page(s)! Simple right?! Just take a look at how my boy does it...

I get to see the colors nicely 'drawn' on the pages and my boy gets to enjoy 'coloring' with the brush and playing with water too! Well worth my money invested! Hahahahah!
