Bits & Tips : Child Proof House.

If you’re a mother like me, you will know the purpose of this ‘black hand’.

 

 

They are like personal bodyguards in our home. Essential.

 

Living with a toddler who still at the phase of running and jumping, I have to ensure that we are providing a ‘child proof’ home. Here are some tips on childproof your home :

1. Put corner and edge bumpers on furniture and other items to protect against injury.
2. Install toilet locks to keep toilet lids closed. They can drown in just one inch of water!
3. Use safety gates at the top and bottom of stairs.
4. Keep kitchenware and appliances out of reach and away from the edge of counters and tables.
5. Install safety latches on cabinets and drawers to keep children from potentially poisonous household products.

My-So-Called Mini Garden.

I am proud to announce that I am now a gardener!

This new hobby is really therapeutic and has brought me so much of joy.

 

                  

As for beginning, I start with plants that are easy to manage and not require much attention.

Below picture from left : Pink Petunia, Purple Petunia, ‘Money Plant’ (Chinese believe that this plant will bring luck to the owner) and Hot Red Daisy.

 

All I need to do is to water them every other day or as needed and plucking off past flower blooms to increase blooming especially on Petunia. My heart is blooming happily each time looking at my ‘growing’ garden. Let’s pray for their health and longevity.

Weekend Project #02 : Stickers in Frames.

It is the second week after we moving in.

We have decided to work on the playroom first since it is the only space that looks ready for some quick decors.

 

In previous entry, we’ve done with a reading nook (Read : Weekend Project #01 Reading Nook). As for wall decor purpose, I plan to hang several pieces of educational posters until I stumbled across these awesome stuff from Tesco Extra the other day;

 

   11R size white frames with border, white manila paper and pretty fancy wall stickers!

 

Instead of sticking the stickers onto wall, I prefer to put them together in frames. Simply peel them off, stick on white manila paper, cut the paper into the frames’ size, and voila, now you have a pair of colorful posters of your own! Simple and affordable.
