erista:After giving birth to 2 kids, body shape has totally changed... I've got wider ribcage (coz bb like to rest high up), wider hips, saggy boobs & a tummy pouch. Even after back to pre-pregnancy weight, still cant change these. .Did u do the jamu postnatal wrap? I think it makes a difference.

SarChar:Wow ! SarChar , what a spread !! So sumptous ! You cook all these ?? We used to have regular makan sessions where all daugthers and dils cooked up a storm with my mil; everyone enjoyed the makan sessions.Yes I cooked everything except the ham, satay & sushi. After the party, I took more than 3 days to recover!Why do you say you \"used to\" have makan sessions?[/quote]Hi SarChar, due to additional family member (new sil),things changed drastically. sil is very er... insincere typed of person,always very sarcastic towards everyone. all my other sils (DH's sisters) also felt the same way too.Well, don't know intentionally or ortherwise.Prefer not to cook at mil place as all the cooking made a mess in the hse (btw she is staying with mil). So to prevent family hormony , we take turns to host makan session or eating out. 3 yrs now, still the same. Keeping a certain distance from her is for the best of everyone :siam: Btw, I like all the utensils you have... I love buying all my utensil in white .. Collecting my wares now, slowly buying one pc by one pc...Hopely my inventory be like yours soon.... :xedfingers:

In the past year of indiscretions, just a sardonic look at the problematic organ....http://www.economist.com/news/books-and-arts/21567330-anatomy-seminal-work-cross-bare?spc=scode&spv=xm&ah=9d7f7ab945510a56fa6d37c30b6f1709http://www.economist.com/news/books-and-arts/21567330-anatomy-seminal-work-cross-bare/comments#comments

My mum is domineering (even my colleagues listening to my side of the conversation knows, my friends who visited my home feels the same), my husband was brought up with minimal boundaries and my daughter is strong-willed. This makes the atmosphere in my home highly charged. Used to be better when kids are younger but it gets more difficult as the way of interacting with the kids is different at a different stage of their life and my mum does not understand that. With kids getting older, they do answer or fight back if they disagree.My kids are under the care of a physchologist (for the last few years) to ensure their emotional well-being as well as to check my blind corners. We go as regularly as every 3 weeks if I have the time.

TeachingMyToddlers.com:In regards to love in a marriage, I really liked the book \"The Five Love Languages\" by Gary Chapman. You can take a quiz and find find out what language you and your spouse speak (I bet there's a quiz online somewhere if you look). We went to this author's seminar years ago and it was very worthwhile. I was initially disappointed to learn my hubby's primary and secondary languages were polar opposites of my own because those are NOT the languages I naturally speak. But they are his, and that is how he best receives affection, so it's good to know.I tend to be pretty sceptical about such things, but I admit the 5 love languages has been pretty useful. The trick is to keep remembering to deliver on it!

Thanks twinkleLime & adonciaTang.

Linlin:I got 4 and coming 1 more :udawoman:
