D.I.Y. Calendar

Whenever I get so bored, I normally look for something to customize.
Glad to score this Do It Yourself Calendar from Kikki.K shop.


I like it's black & white concept that would enable you to decorate it with colorful stickers or write notes using a white/colored pen. Each month page is a blank canvas that you could embellish with your own photos and drawings.

Just a nice thing to have for the year 2009.

Farm Animals

Dropped by at the Carlton Family Resource Center this morning to check out the weekly playgroup being held there.

Good thing, they have some "special visitors" today -- it's a group of farm animals provided by the Leigh Farmyard Friends.




The kids were cheerful to see and mingle with the creatures.
There were chickens, ducks, sheeps, pigs, goats and a lovely pony!




Lori watched me as I feed the goats with chopped grass.
She stared inquisitively at the animals running around and passing by.

My baby girl also loved the experience of meeting new kids and play with them.


I also got to chat and make friends with several first time moms.
A morning well spent, indeed.

Grill'd

For the past weeks, i've been aiming to eat as healthy as possible to get rid of my "bulge".
I hate to say this but I gained few pounds last month. Huhuhu.
The issue is, I don't want to take a strict diet as I am still breastfeeding.


I'm just happy to discover a burger chain that serves healthy and superbly yummy sandwiches.
It's the Grill'd.
My favorite is the Summer Sunset -- grilled 100% lean beef, avocado, bacon (i sometimes remove this), pineapple, salad, relish and herbed mayo in wholemeal bread.
Absolutely love the idea that I'd still get to enjoy a full & nutritious meal without the guilt.
I can actually make something like this at home.
I could just avoid white rice and opt for this burger for a week or so. ;)

Melbourne Playgroup

Lori and I attended the kids-parents playgroup session in the city this morning. It's one of the maternal and child health programs of the city council of Melbourne.



"Playgroups provide parents and caregivers with the opportunity to meet new people, gain support and exchange parenting ideas. They allow babies, toddlers and preschoolers to socialise as they play and learn together. All playgroups are different but the emphasis is on fun and friendship. "



The session was very enjoyable. There was food sharing (fruits & muffins) and singing & reading afterwards.

Lori had heaps of fun. She had the chance to meet other kids, play with them and mingle with babies same age as hers. We've been wanting to join a group like this and we're so happy to found one.
