Cloth Diapering A New Born
So after nearly 2 weeks with my newborn, I can safely review which cloth diaper actually really really works with a new born. I started cloth diapering Jordan only when his poop change to the breastfed baby poo, mustard watery type. Using it with green or myconium would be possible, but much to much trouble. Also, I targeted for his cord to come off before cloth diapering as the diapers are big and will cover his belly button, hence not allowing the area to dry as fast. I am so glad that he doesn’t have to use his terrible plasticky disposables anymore. Yea to no diaper rash. Here’s what I’m…

Recycling really pays
I started recycling our wastes 2 years ago and since then I have called the company, Recycle and Redeem to my house at least 11 times to pick up the wastes. It is an extra that this company rewards us for recycling, we get what they call Green Points. So far, I have collected this many points. With this number of points, I can already get electronics like a table fan, toaster etc, or just get a voucher worth RM100 from Parkson, Isetan, Jusco and more. Trash becomes money, who won’t want this? Check here for things you can recycle in your home too.

Free RM500 voucher to shop at Modernmum

Granted my bump was really tiny when I submitted for the contest and I only won it in January 2012’s publication. However, the sponsor only sent the price last week in end of February, and I only managed to go to the Parenthood office this Wednesday to get the price and this week…

Homemade Wholemeal Bread
Recently I bought the Noxxa Breadmaker 3in1 oven that can make bread, cook like a conventional oven and toast bread. I did some research beforehand, and it’s one of those breadmakers for gluten intolerant people that can also make regular bread as well. And while I love my regular baking – my parents have been on a gluten-free train recently, and I’d like to make them something on occasion as well. Finally, yesterday I managed to buy the ingredients to make a healthy wholemeal bread which is actually just wholemeal flour and high protein flour, both of which cannot be found in normal supermarkets. So I had to go to…
