Size Matters

Pregnancy does enormous changes to mummy’s body.

She swells like a pumpkin right from day one of pregnancy. She eats eats eats paying no regard to the bathroom scale. She enjoys admiring herself with big protruding tummy in front of the mirror. When considering the well-being and growth of her baby, her gigantic body size, highly pigmented skin tone, engorged breasts, plumy feet, broadened hips, opened up belly button, bulgy bums all these do not matter to her very much. Moreover, she consoles herself by saying these as the “Beauty of Pregnancy”.

But tables are turned after delivery.




Along with the baby’s arrival comes post-natal depression and baby blues for the mummy. She becomes too emotional and sensitive. Her body weight adds up to her raging temperament.

She constantly strives to increase her baby weight and to decrease her body weight. She stands in front of the mirror and wonders what has happened to her reflection? She examines every flaw, bulge and sag. She seems to be looking still 4 months pregnant. She feels gross and huge. She yearns for her youthful body…

The advertisements about slimming therapy, weight loss massage, pills, waist belts seem to be shouting too loud in her ears. She feels too big enough to be worthy. Failing to get back into pre-pregnancy clothes adds insult to her injury. She just hates to buy dress marked as ‘L’ or ‘XL’. All that she wears now are Baggy T-Shirts, big pants, poo coloured tops and nothing attractive …… She was a pride owner of a thin figure. But not anymore…….and it seems like nevermore…..

The brand new mummy described here in terms of ‘She, she, she ……’ is applicable to every mummy as ‘I,I,I……’

Come on mummies, cheer up. We can make it up.

“When we have the power to create a life in 40 weeks even while sleeping, imagine what we can create with our lives while we are awake!”

Weight loss is not something unconquerable for mummies.

Learning Resources for kids

I love to go shopping for kids stuff. I enjoy going for an extensive treasure hunt to choose the BEST things for my kids. When I purchase for my kids Educational Materials are always the topmost priority whether it be toys, building blocks, jigsaw puzzles or do-it-yourself art/craft kits. Kids could play with these things in several imaginative ways over and over again without boredom.


I wish buying almost all the toys from Growing Fun Store.




Books are good companion for kids. Introduce books to kids as early as possible maybe when they are still in womb would be much better. Kids have a natural liking for books. Board books and cloth books are good to start with. See to that you have some books in all rooms. Books should be placed so that they are easily accessible to kids. Let them just get immersed in the world of books. Books can take them to different countries, culture, introduce various people and make them travel to various historic periods. Books are good friends.

Teaching kids to read at a very early age can boost their confidence level and their interest for books.

* Glenn Doman Method is a successfully proven method to teach reading to even babies.

* The Japanese Method of Kumon can also aid kids to learn to read in a very fast pace.

* Starfall serves as a good online reading resource for beginners.

* Your baby can read is a video series to help babies to read.

I consider, Time Life Early Learning Program Books and Galaxy kids CD Package as the best ever valuable knowledge treasures parents could introduce to their little future scientists.


These are foundational investments for our kids’ future.
