I'm a full-time mummy

You know, every now and then I do entertain the thoughts of earning some side income while still being a SAHM.

I mean, if I do have the means to start my own business, I might look into the possibility of doing so with the various franchise opportunities available in the market now.

Now what is franchise? According to Wikipedia: "Franchising is the practice of using another firm's successful business model"

Of course there are a lot of things to be considered before taking the leap into franchising world - such as:

- Does the business model fits your requirements?

- How much time and effort you can put into the business?

- What other resources you need to put into the business: staff, supplies, etc etc

- Do you have enough fundings or capital to start and maintain the business?

There are many more factors to be considered and thought through for sure. But I think with thorough research, the risks is definitely less compared to starting a business from scratch. At least by going through the franchise opportunities, you can immediately start running your business on an already successful business started earlier by someone else.

What are your thoughts on franchise opportunities?

Being pregnant doesn't mean the end of the world for our wardrobe selections or that you are going to end up wearing huge size clothing throughout your pregnancy!

Personally, I feel that being pregnant should not be a hindrance to us in being a stylish and yet looking comfortable as a preggy mum! And I also believe that we should be proud of our growing belly instead of hiding it under baggy or big sized clothes.

Of course, the wardrobe choices will be much lesser compared to pre-pregnancy time but I'm always the type of person who goes for blouses and pants that can 'grow' with my growing body size hehehe...

I'm close to 8 months pregnant now and my maternity clothes are still pretty OK so far... As for my maternity clothes styles, I will try to mix and match blouses or comfortable T-shirts with my maternity pants. I do have a couple of hand-me-downs maternity dresses from my sisters-in law but most of these dresses couldn't fit me anymore. So, I still prefer the good ol' mix and match styles of mine.

Though of course, I do wish that my maternity clothes styles could be more like this:

Or something casual and yet still chic looking like this:

So what are your maternity clothes styles?

2 more months to go before Spicy Baby's arrival!!!

And I'm really, really, really starting to worry - especially when I realised now that I actually forgot how to breathe! (As in breathing techniques during the labor...)

Oh man... I am in trouble...

I read through my post (in my old blog) about my supernatural childbirth with Ben and, nope... clever me did not note down what I did for my breathing techniques during the labor. Ah heck...I need to dig out my antenatal class notes - which was taken 2 years ago!

Seriously, I totally forgot about the breathing techniques even when I was in the midst of giving birth to Ben - thank God my hubby was next to me to remind me the techniques!

Of course, this time round, I kept telling and reminding my hubby to REMIND ME the breathing techniques when the time comes cos' I'll be sure to forget it even if I memorise it by heart now.

I just hope I won't go to this level...
