one of the ways to wind down your hyperactive kid…
in the comfort of your home.
I went out and bought a baby pool for jerry. been toying with the thought ever since he turned 6 months but didn’t buy in the end because it was quite expensive, my mum is against it (she thinks its another useless thing to own) and I managed to convince myself that jerry will soon outgrow the pool and that the public pools have loads of space for him to waddle around instead of this.
thing is, every trip to the public pool in the past always land jerry at the paed, because he always catch some germs/bugs or a cold thereafter. its frustrating and expensive, not to mention distressing for the parents and care givers to look after a sick kid. we have since stopped going for a while and with a second kid on the way, I decided to just bite the bullet and get the inflatable pool.
I love how its a controlled environment, I can always keep the water warm, keep out the winds,have a happy kid splashing around, and at the same time.. wear out all that energy from my hyper son.
and of cos, give me some ‘timeout’ space where I can sit beside him and rest a bit and exercise only my eyes to keep a watchful eye on him instead of running after him non stop which I am really not capable of right now with a 40″ waistline.
duckies come out to play too.
splishing splashing away.
me love. and oh, did I mention that he slept early at night too? with minimal fuss!

Hi there! Thanks for popping by. I'm Cherie, a ftwm (full-time working mum) to 3 lovely kids (2 boys & a princess) and my motto in life is to BE HAPPY. Sure, life isn't all that smooth but it's the mentality that counts, no? This blog documents my life. Or rather, snippets of my life that has passed me by. I love capturing life memories in the blog and being able to read back and laugh at myself (or anyone). I love to eat (A LOT), travel and paint my own nails so the blog is mostly about that. Is that considered lifestyle? Of cos, the family is also very much an integral part of me so there would be loads of memories about the husband and my kids - Jerry (9yo), Jerome (7yo) and Leia (2.5yo) and everyone else that's close to me. I like documenting the kids' milestones, their growing up years, their achievements (and sometimes, mine), and my struggles and battles with motherhood. It sure ain't easy. I love seeking out good food and travelling, is trigger-happy, love new gadgets, love exploring new places and strives to live life to the fullest. I aspire to travel the world as much as I can, to soak in the different sights across the various continents and visit all the Disneylands in the world (almost there!). Have fun reading and do drop me a comment to say hi! Love, Cherie Lim Find me on Instagram.
