A Homemaker’s Diary

*This post is written for Love World Love Sloggi contest *

We finally bought the Jumbo Crayon at Tango Mango, The Curve. However the Jumbo packs are only available in 8 colors. It is called jumbo since the size is 5″ long × 9/16″ diameter (127 mm × 14 mm). The key primary and secondary colors, in the pack include Blue, Purple, Brown, Red, Orange, Black, Green and Yellow.

Crayola standard crayons measure 3-5/8″ long × 5/16″ in diameter (92 mm × 8 mm) while Crayola Large Size Crayons measure 4″ long × 7/16″ diameter (100 mm × 11 mm). So now you know why this one is called Jumbo..heh!

The shop Mango Tango has all kinds of Crayola products including markers. After browsing at Crayola main website, I realized that they have many more crayon range – triangular, washable just to name a few.

Both Hubby and I really enjoyed the Crayola moment..check out what Hubby drew..heh!

So far, it seems that our son is not really interested to color, but he did scribble and made lines on the paper. We have been showing him the joy of coloring by devoting a few minutes everyday to color his Thomas and Friends workbook.

I am waiting for the Crayola I bought on eBay last night to arrive. Those 2 packs of 24 color crayons were sold at USD1 since I won the bid at the very last minute..heh! The shipping charge is USD10 which even after conversion is still a worth buy.

Gosh! It’s like ages since I updated this blog. Of course you can expect to see an update on Monday because that’s when Nuffnang giving out RM20 for all the first 100 entries for the week..hehe..when it comes to making money, I will do whatever it takes to do a blog post..haha!

Since tomorrow is already Thursday, I have been very busy since a few days ago preparing the kit for craft class this Saturday. Alhamdulillah, if all goes well, the dip class will be full (max of 6 students). You might never know sometimes things happen like kematian or last minute emergency that make them unable to attend the class.

On family matter, I have been experimenting with new ways to make the little one fall asleep easily, be it for nap time or night time. So far the main air session every afternoon does work wonders..which gave me ample time to cook dinner. And somehow Hubby has managed to make him sleep at night around 12 – 12:30am..Alhamdulillah. He slept on Abah’s chest like he used to do when he was smaller..maybe the comforting effect makes him feel drowsy and help him fall asleep easily.

Well, with that kind of early time off for me, I should be able to update all the blogs more often, you think? Nay, the ever reliable Maxis Broadband keep on buat pasal..it took me 2 hours just to update the announcement about the upcoming craft class last night..isk!

Nampak gaya will have to get Streamyx jugak la jawabnya..huhuhu!

Err..I better grab some sleep..since if the little one sleeps early at night, he will wake up earlier than the usual 1-2pm as well..happy working people..don’t spend too much time Facebooking, OK! heh..

The offer has been extended! So parents out there, make a wise decision and invest now as you get free top up.

A top up of 3 month is priced at RM298 and you will get another 3 months of free top up. So if you buy in this coming April, your child can access it till October (which is just nice before your son/daughter sits for the final exam)

You can buy the top up here : How Do I Buy Score A Programme For My Child?

We also accept credit card via PayPal if you are short on cash. All the details are available in that page.

The best thing for parents whose children are using the Score A program is that you can monitor your son/daughter’s performance through the online report card.

For those who are still unsure about this product, give it a try, after all what is RM298 worth for, if your child can get to score As in his/her exam..hehe!

I was browsing and read a status of a friend in FB, she says something like, “duduk rumah, keja sapu angin, tolak awan..”

If you compare to others who work full time of course it seems like we, moms who stay at home gain nothing, in term of financial or career achievement..but actually we do a lot more than what we give ourselves credit for..

See, my effort to make the world a greener place..

And then when everyone is hungry, I make something good to eat and make sure that the ingredients are nutritious as well which is something I hardly have time and energy to do when I was working long time ago.

Then, when the little one becomes restless and can’t stand the heat during daytime , I become the lifeguard and set up the mini pool for him to soak in..

And when the time permits, I indulge myself in things that give me peace like art and craft..

Of course not everyday is a rosy day, but even working moms have their bad day, right?

The best part is I know what’s going on at home, not having to worry that my son is crying or screaming for whatever reason..will he be eating, sleeping and playing well..his safety, his emotional well-being..wondering whether other people who look after him are doing their job..you know things like that..

For me, it is worth more than RM500 that could be paid to a maid or RM400 paid to any nursery..yes, I admit that mothering is a hard and demanding job which makes me scream and shout especially when all the nice talk and coaxing is not working out..but it is certainly the best job that God has bestowed upon me…not every woman has the privilege to be a stay at home mom by choice.
