All of us are good moms. Don't judge!

To the mom who's breastfeeding: Way to go! It really is an amazing gift to give your baby, for any amount of time that you can manage! You're a good mom.

To the mom who's formula feeding: Isn't science amazing? To think there was a time when a baby with a mother who couldn't produce enough would suffer, but now? Better living through chemistry! You're a good mom.

To the cloth diapering mom: Fluffy bums are the cutest, and so friendly on the bank account. You're a good mom.

To the disposable diapering mom: Damn those things hold a lot, and it's excellent to not worry about leakage and laundry! You're a good mom.

To the mom who stays home: I can imagine it isn't easy doing what you do, but to spend those precious years with your babies must be amazing. You're a good mom.

To the mom who works: It's wonderful that you're sticking to your career, you're a positive role model for your children in so many ways, it's fantastic. You're a good mom.

To the mom who had to feed her kids from the drive thru all week because you're too worn out to cook or go grocery shopping: You're feeding your kids, and hey, I bet they aren't complaining! Sometimes sanity can indeed be found in a red box with a big yellow M on it. You're a good mom.

To the mom who gave her kids a homecooked breakfast lunch and dinner for the past week: Excellent! Good nutrition is important, and they're learning to enjoy healthy foods at an early age, a boon for the rest of their lives. You're a good mom.

To the mom with the kids who are sitting quietly and using their manners in the fancy restaurant: Kudos, it takes a lot to maintain order with children in a place where they can't run around. You're a good mom.

To the mom with the toddler having a meltdown in the cereal aisle: they always seem to pick the most embarrassing places to lose their minds don't they? We've all been through it. You're a good mom.

To the moms who judge other moms for ANY of the above? Glass houses, friend. Glass houses.

1st Day

This Monday will be the 1st day I send Iman to the day care. Alhamdulillah, kali ni perasaan lebih tenang. Mungkin kerana dah biasa dengan taska tu & cikgu2nya. They are no longer stranger to me like when I 1st sent Honey to the day care.

Still I feel nervous. Kali ni nervous sebab Iman biasa menyusu badan. Nasib baik Iman takde masalah menyusu botol. Cuma nampak lah dia lagi suka menyusu badan. Aku bagi botol pun sekali sehari je, tu pun malam. Sekadar melatih Iman menggunakan botol. Tak pernah lagi sepanjang siang menyusukan hanya dengan menggunakan botol. So tak tau lah camna penerimaan Iman.

Another challenge is packing for 2. I'm like should I use 2 bags or should I just compress everything into a single bag. I prefer the later since there will be another bag which is cooler bag to store my EBM.

At the same time, I'm a bit excited too since packing EBMs is a new experience to me. I really wanna write about my breastfeeding journey with Iman so far. Tak tau lah bila.

One more thing, it must be weird for Honey to have her lil sis at the day care as well. Am looking forward to see her reaction.

Farm & The City

I guess being a mother really makes us think less about ourselves & think more about our children. At least, since I become a mother, when I have to think what I wanna do on my special day, I just wanna Honey to enjoy herself.

So today I decided to bring Honey to Farm~In~The~City, a mini petting zoo located at Seri Kembangan. Yup we do have a zoo nearby. I just found out about the place a few days ago. Kinda eager to check the place out & let Honey interacts with the animals.

The entrance fee for adult is RM30. Am not sure for kids since cos Honey & Iman are still small, it's free.




No picture of Iman though cos she just spent her time lying & sleeping in the stroller. However, she seemed to enjoy the trip as well by being a good baby.
