A home for Sophie the Giraffe

Posted on February 13, 2011February 12, 2011 by Mamapumpkin
Whilst I was busy one day, T1 entertained herself by building a home for Sophie the Giraffe. I've been thinking if I should sell Sophie but she's a bit sentimental so I haven't had the heart to do it yet. Poor T2......Mommy wants to sell all her toys!.......click to learn what next.

Milking cows at Harvey

For months, we'd anticipated going to a farmstay in Australia and finally milking cows at Harvey first hand (isn't that what farmers do?) so you can imagine our excitement when we drove out of our cottage in search of the Harvey Dairy Farm! We saw these same cows.......click to learn what next.

Visiting Harvey Cheese Factory

I'm really 50-50 with cheese. Some cheeses taste so darn good (like fresh Brie and cream cheese and a few others) that I cannot get enough of them and then some just make me want to puke just by smell (like blue cheese). Maybe it's psychological...... So we.......click to learn what next.

A continuation from our trip to Harvey Hills Farm Stay T1 was really brave feeding the animals. I didn't dare for fear that they would accidentally chomp off my finger.

CHANGING THE WORLD MOVEMENT

I love green

Once upon a time, she designed buildings and interiors of corporate offices and on the rare occasion, homes. Now, she cleans poop and is student of a patience management course. From the drawing board as a London Architect to the realities of Motherhood, she has certainly learned many lessons in humility. And then others…..

To succeed in the corporate world, first succeed with your kid as the happy boss. Seriously.

I love green

This blog is about Mamapumpkin: A strong, kick-ass Mom who works full time juggling several jobs – the full-time paid job, the raising of her 2 kids (she gets paid in kind for this) and the volunteering job for various charity organisations and parenting websites. Needless to say, she gets very little sleep (3-5 hours per day, Margaret Thatcher who used to sleep 4 hours per day during her conservative career inspires this crazy lifestyle).

Mamapumpkin intends to change the working Mom landscape in Malaysia where working women can bring their children to the corporate office of a client and not be frowned upon.

I love green

 

She writes about anything that comes out of her head but mostly seeks to inspire and share about all things that will bring benefits to others.

Her 2 girls drive her towards challenge after challenge, 24/7…..day after day…..and interestingly, her parents are Muslim, her in-laws Buddhist, she’s Catholic and her Hubs, an Atheist. She’s thinking her kids should be Hindu, just to complete the rainbow religion cycle.

Gotta love it.

She’d love to hear from you : Mamapumpkin at gmail dot com
