Co-sleeping???


Before having children, we never thought that the house is small, nor the bed is small. After having one child, the house seems to shrunk a little. After having two, the house seems to be congested. :( Babies. They are small but they sure come with a lot of stuff. A queen size bed, even a king size bed is too small now for all four of us. Of course, since I’ve already failed to train my first son, Mo to sleep in the baby cot. I am trying to train my second son, Vaeyn to sleep in the cot at the moment. But on and off he still comes on the bed for his night feed. I try to make sure that I put him back into his cot every time after the feed. I do feel a little guilty as his brother got the privilege to sleep on the bed and he doesn’t. But, the bed is really just too small now. Mo would cry if I put him in his baby cot now, which is just lying there, collecting dust. I really regret for not training him well in the first place. I was too lazy to carry him and put him back into the cot after his night feed. It seems way easier for me to just have him sleeping right next to me as he can feed anytime he wants without having me getting up. Also, probably because I am a working mom, I always feel like I have not spent enough time with my baby. Hugging Mo at night kind of compensate the time when I’m not with him, makes me feel less guilty. But if you are like me, planning for the second one in such short gap; take my advice to train your baby to sleep in his own place.



Baby Vaeyn is already awake for a while now, after his brother vomited on the bed. Mo is having a little phlegm and started to cough since yesterday, only after the haze clear up. I guess the cough has been developing since last week but was not too bad till yesterday. I gave him Prospan- natural cough mixture made from Ivy leaf. Then, he started vomiting phlegm after his dinner. And now, right after his morning milk. I think I will have to reduce his milk intake today to avoid phlegm. Baby Vaeyn also is having little cough. I am not too worried about him because he is having the best antibiotic from the BREASTMILK! J He just fell asleep again as I nursed him while typing.
Gotta get up to have my Nutrilite’s Protein Mix before I start the day! Cheers everyone! Happy co-sleeping! Happy baby cot training! J

Positive lifestyle

As a working mother of two, and still nursing my 3 months old at the moment, life is rather challenging! But after practicing 'positive affirmation', every time when I remember to, I do see some changes in my life. Firstly, I got many part time job offers as described in my previous post in September. For instance, translating documents job which pays pretty well; also might be going for another translating session on the 30th of October. I guess the universe is responding to my request!
At the moment, I have also joined a couple who are involved in the MLM business (AMWAY) for over 20 years to try out new project. I'm just taking things as it comes, not sure how much money I'm going to make from it but I loose nothing for trying I guess. The couple is currently making quite a big amount of passive income as retirees, and they showed me a pretty believable plan as well. Before they approached me, I have already been using Nutrilite's supplements but have no idea about the business at all. I think the universe is arranging opportunities for me that everything will eventually fall in place as I wish.
So, I started the business just about two weeks ago. I am currently reviewing their other products to convince myself about the business! (Well, you know many people have negative impression on MLM businesses. I'm no exception.) At the moment I have started off with these products:

1. SA8™ Premium Concentrated Laundry Detergent (1kg)
- This is pretty good. Just one and a half scoop for the front loading washing machine. On top of that, my house helper soak the bathroom with Clorox and THIS DETERGENT. She told me it works like magic in stain removing.

2. DISH DROPS™ Concentrated Dishwashing Liquid (1L)
- Read about this product long time ago as one of the recommended dishwashing soap for baby bottles. By diluting it at the ratio of 1:8 (Soap: Water), it works like every other dishwashing liquid. The difference is that it is actually cheaper because you can make about 12 bottles out of that one bottle of DISH DROP. 

3. L.O.C. ™ Multi-Purpose Cleaner (1L)
-This is good for cleaning the kitchen top and other surface such as floor. I would totally recommend this if you have little children at home because not only that it remove stains in only once cycle of mopping (do not require rinsing with water), it is also anti-slip. Pretty good huh? My son is running around now even when the house helper is mopping.

4. L.O.C. ™ Metal Cleaner
-This is a must have in every home. I never thought that the bottom of my pans and pots can be cleaned until I use this product. It is really good at getting rid of the burn stain on metal. So far, this is probably my favorite product by AMWAY.
So far I have been using these products, also taking Nutrilite’s Protein Mix and Double X and BIO-C (vitamin) at the moment. I will update my product review in my post later. If anybody are interested in making a little EXTRA CASH, or would like to BUY PRODUCT from AMWAY, please kindly drop me an email at simplepluseasy@gmail.com

Gotta run! Keep it up with the positive thoughts! It will change your life!
