Free RM500 voucher to shop at Modernmum
I had been a faithful reader of Parenthood Magazine since before Josiah’s birth and I always took the opportunity to join the baby contests in it. So far, Josiah had won his fare share of prizes but this time it was my turn. I decided to submit for the Modernmum contest when I got pregnant with Jordan. 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…

I used to think newborns can’t use any cloth diapers yet due to the amount of times they poo and pee and also their tiny size.

Postnatal Set First Look
For my first delivery, I had invested in the Nutrilite Amway Postnatal set, but I decided not to get it this time due to the cost and the fact that I won’t have the time to finish all the things in there. The set was really good but it did cost over RM300 and there were things that can only be used if I was relaxing throughout my confinement and not having to take care of a baby 24 hours a day. So this time I searched high and low in forums and read lots of reviews before I decided on this set. Jamu Set Bersalin Afiat is pretty budget…
