Ever played the game Operation when you were a kid? Here is an anatomically accurate version! Our model here is Electra. She hails from the Scienceworks Museum shop and is genuinely anatomically correct. Electra has "cancerous tissue" (literally ripped up pieces of tissue paper) on various organs. Miss A is busy removing them with a pair of tweezers. Great for a…
We drink a lot of smoothies in our house and our favourite recipe is a very green one we call "Dino Buzz"! It basically gets its name from Miss A's favourite Boost Juice smoothie Banana Buzz which consists of banana, ice, vanilla yoghurt, honey, and milk. After finding out what the ingredients were, we started recreating it at home. To make it…

Once upon a time there was a little yellow Mummy who lived in an apartment in the city. She had one husband, two kids, and a little noisy dog. One day the little yellow Mummy found some clothes on the ground. She asked her family, "Who will help me wash this laundry?" "Not I," said the husband who has never…
Growing up, Baby Blues was my favourite comic. It featured in our local newspaper and I would always look for it and read it first. Then as a mother, I rediscovered it online and saw all the jokes in a whole new light. I never realised how much breastfeeding featured in it! The parenting jokes are also pretty spot-on. For all…
A few weeks ago, my 3-year-old was acting up a bit and being very clingy. My husband and I thought that maybe it was because she hadn't been spending enough quality time with me (difficult to do considering I have a baby attached to me for most of the day). So my husband offered to look after the baby while Miss A and…
