Jaylene is 1!

My baobei turned 1! 

Wow. It's hard to believe how my tiny baby went from 2.7kg to 10kg now. :') 

We hosted a party to celebrate our milestone together with our family and friends. For guide on how to plan a baby's full month / birthday celebration, click here!

Jaylene's cake smash photoshoot

Jaylene is turning 1 soon! I cannot speak enough of how time passes just so quickly! It felt like yesterday when I first held her in my arms. :') 

To celebrate this occasion we decided to do a cake smash + family photoshoot with Bespoke Photography. 

Towards better complexion with La Clinic

Jaylene and mummy woke up like this in the morning. ^^

I'm not a makeup junkie, but I'm definitely take my skincare regimen seriously.  

BUT. 

Ever since I take up the role of a mother, I have been slacking in my skincare routine. No time, no time! I'm sure SAHM can relate to this? Even going to the toilet, I have to sneak away from Jaylene, you tell me, where I find the time to slowly apply my toner, essence, moisturiser or even a mask? I'm so tired at the end of the day. >.< 

Also, now as a nursing mother, I'm also more concern and careful with the beauty procedures that I do. The last thing I want is to bring harm to my baby. 

To be honest, while we are still nourishing our baby with nature's gift, there are a lot of aesthetic treatments that are unsafe and not suitable for us. 

However, at La Clinic, they do offer a few treatments that are suitable for nursing mothers and pregnant women! Yay! You know how those hormones ruin our skin. 

Jaylene's first food (weaning)

Jaylene started on solids 5 days before turning 6 months old! 

I shared her weaning journey on my Instagram and I promised I'll answer some of the commonly asked questions. So here you go! ^^

Oh ya, bare in mind that I'm no professional. Whatever I'm sharing is based on the information I've gathered from online reading and as shared by mummy friends. So take my words with a pinch of salt. Correct me if I'm wrong too! After all, I'm still learning as a first time mom. :) 

Jaylene is sick for the first time

My little girl fell sick for the first time at 4.5 months. All thanks to mama for spreading the virus to her. T.T

So she started having blocked nose, then runny nose and was coughing with phlegm. 

You probably have heard this before, that a sick baby is a parent's worse nightmare. Her sleep was totally disrupted. I mean, even us as an adult would have problem falling asleep when having a blocked nose. So imagine a poor baby. :'( 

Review: LG TWINWash

New washing machine in the house! 

This is the LG TWINWash that is able to wash two loads at the same time! Saving mama, me, a lot of time and energy when comes to doing laundry now. ^^ 

Honestly, when LG TWINWash first came into the market, I bought into the idea of its dual front load washer function. Especially when we were expecting baby Jaylene then. The two loads washing would be handy! However, when LG TWINWash was first launched, the size of it was humongous for a HDB, so we gave it a miss.  Hence, I am so happy now that LG has come up with more versions of TWINWash for different home sizes!

Baby J's 100th Day Celebration

Happy 100th Day my sweet little pie! 

It feels like yesterday when I've just given birth to this little one? Look how big she has grown! :O

As much as I love her small she was at her infancy stage, baby Jaylene is so interactive now! The way she communicates with us, in her baby language, is like she also really trying to respond to us! Haha! She is also very smiley and her smiles never fail to brighten up my day. :') 

Anyway, back to the 100th day celebration, initially we didn't plan to have one since we've done a full month party for her. (You can read on it here with some tips to planning one!) So anyway, while thinking on how to celebrate Mother's Day, we realised that her 100th Day is nearby too! So we decided to do a double celebration. Just with both sides of the family. ^^
