Blog Revamped!

With the introduction of new blogger layout, I revamped my blog and gave it a fresh new look. The template design stuff is pretty user friendly and idiot proof. Hahaha.

I need to explore it further to see what further customization I can do to it.

I've added in a "Page" call "Breastfeeding" at the side bar for links to information regarding breast-feeding within and outside of my blog.

Tomorrow, hubby, baby and I are going on a staycation! First staycation with baby! Diapers? Check. Pyjamas? Check. Baby food? Check. Favourite toys? Check. Camera? Check... Lots of stuff to pack when we bring a little baby along with us! But the best is I don't need to worry about milk and warmer and bottles. He still hates the sippy cup, unfortunately... haiz... the only way he wants to drink milk from is from my boobs.

6 month old

Kieran is 6 month old and Kieran's mummy is now looking for opportunities to work part time.

There's this part of me that tells me if I go back to full time work, I will be able to see a stable increase in my bank account again and I will be able to buy lots of nice stuff for baby, and I won't think twice about bringing baby to enrichment lessons... but I always pull myself back, telling myself that if I do that, I will be like most working mummies, having to work many hours, OT, many stresses, having to leave early in the morning, leave baby to someone else's care and come back late in evening, sometimes too tired, hungry and stress to play with baby and take care of baby. I do not want that at all.

Oh well, I shall see how this works out. I'm trying out several ways of earning income and sustaining my life as a stay home mom. If all else fails, I will have to go back to full time work. I cannot stay home all the time because even though hubby is ok with it, I think he'll be stressed with the burden of a growing baby.

So I'm considering teaching art which is my love, teaching tuition to lower primary school students in English, Maths or Chinese which I have experience doing as an undergraduate, or I can teach part time in Childcare as unexperienced teacher (I wonder if they will accept?), or I can make handmake stuff to sell online, or I can import maternity and babies' clothes and other stuff to sell online. I'm also interested in importing organic baby foods to sell.

I've also written to the BMSG to become their volunteer. They'll contact me to attend the training. It'll be fun and I'm so proud of breastfeeding journey with baby. It's totally rewarding and exciting although its really tough to begin with.

Oh well... so many things to try out. Haha. Life is fun :)
