DIY - Think of A Box!

Last nite we (Xinlong, me, Chloe and mum in law) went to have dinner at McDonald's West Coast Park and we bought a Family Pack set which was sort of combo set in a big box ( in order to celebrate National Day, McDonalds offered these meal packages). I thought the box is quite good for storing things. Arrived home, I think of a way to make use of the box.

I took out the box, fold it and covered it around with nice colour paper which I already had.

Using doubleside tape and.... tada! I have a new diaper box for Chloe.

So nice to look at and useful. It took me 2 hours to do because I want the box to look neat.

New hairband

Remember this ?Well, last night I made hairband for Chloe using the ribbons... and fake flowers.

What do you think of it?I love it :P

God.. I need You

Today while I was reading some of the blogs out there, I was stumbled upon this beautiful blog Rare & Beautiful Treasures and I read about how God is very much involved in the paths of their life. I want that. I yearn for it..

God, I know You are there for me, whenever I turn my head and You are there whenever I ask for Your guidance.
I want You to be there again, be part of my life.. one more time.. when all of member of my family, especially my parents and my dear husband, praise and glorified Your name.
I want all of them to be able to see how wonderful it is to have You as their God. As I know You are. I pray for it to happen sooner than later.
Thank You Lord Jesus, in Your name I pray...

Amen

DIY - Patterned Shelves in my Wardrobe!

I did this DIY last weekend, using a hamper wrapper that has nice patterns. The hamper is a gift from my workplace when I gave birth to little Chloe so the cost of doing this DIY thing is S$0.00. FREE. yay!

I see the nice looking patterns on the wrapper and thinking that it will be such a waste to just tear and throw it into dustbin, so I came up with an idea. All I need is some doubletapes (which I have) and did some cuttings and make sure I did it nicely because I only have a limited size of the paper.

Turns out it looks very nice. I love it so much. What DIY things that you had in mind this weekend?

What are you doing mummy?

The other day, we all went to a mall nearby our house and I went in to this store selling all the hairpins & accessories. I imagined my Chloe having the fake curly hair.
This is what I think she will say seeing from her look. LOL

Time to move on

Last Friday I went for interview and yesterday I got the offer. I am so happy yet abit worried. Worried that it might miss out on my Chloe's childhood. I want to be with her all the time, but for now I need to do my best to bring the dough to our house. I want to make sure I can provide Chloe's needs. Just like this quote I found the other day when I surf some blogs





Last Saturday I went to Bugis with small B' and on journey home we took MRT and she gave me this look. I wondered what she had in mind, maybe she doesn't like her mum always taking pictures of her? hehe.

'Small b' sleeping

Small b' got a new friend, Miss Rabbit - and she hug her to sleep. :P

Daddy bought Ipad2 for baby Chloe!

After so many months talking about buying Ipad2 for baby Chloe, finally my dear husband ordered it online. It arrived yesterday.



We also bought pink cover for her.

My 'small small' Chloe

Love her so much, she has grown so big now.

Very chubby and 'nep'.

We went to watch badminton Open last Saturday and Sunday and we brought along Chloe. She is very good as in only cried awhile cos she wanna sleep. But for 5 hours watching the competition she is not complaining much.

Here is baby Chloe wearing oversize cowboy hat.

Doesn't she look like cowboy girl ? haha

Updating my life on the blog

Well... after so long absent from this blog now I feel the time to catch it up again. So many things has happened since last time I wrote here.

First of all :

1. I am a mum now to a beautiful baby girl, I named her Chloe. My sweet little baby, so adorable. Here she is with her grandma. She is 3 months old now.

2. My big purchases so far (from Jan'11-now) : a camera Canon D550, a sewing machine Brother BM2600, stroller Mclaren TechnoXT.

3. My brother in law (from H's side) is married now, and his wife is Cambodian. Well, they are currently staying with us now. I pray for them to faster get a house and move on.

4. I got 4 mth maternity leave and just started back to work last week. Very tired. but happy mum :P

5. My H got a job with good salary but quite demanding hours. At least we are back on saving mode after so many years living on just 1 income. So happy!

So many little things happened this past half year but I want to focus on the positive ones rather than the opposites. God, please help me thru this journey of life. I know it is not easy, but with Your Grace I will survive all.

Thank You Lord.
