Newly Wed Bride

Renovating your house is no doubt one of the most tedious but the most important thing when you are about to get married. Your house is the place that you call it home. A place for you to rest and relax after a hard day work. When I was renovating my house few years back, a friend of mine was telling me about how important fengshui was. An environment with good fengshui will enhance peace and harmony at home, enhance health and create wealth abundance. These are the few basic fengshui tips that she shared for doing up the bedroom. Of course, for more, we have to engage a fengshui master.

The importance of good health during pregnancy is well known, but fewer people put an emphasis on pre-conception health. Of course if you fall pregnant without planning, then this is not an issue, but optimally every pregnancy should be planned. It is common sense that doing the right things for a few months before conception gives you and your baby a head start and ensured that you are both fighting fit.

Here are the important points to remember:

I was requested by the owner of this blog to share on how to get along with your father-in-law in conjunction to my past post on “top tips get along with your mother-in-law”. Instead of writing on how to get along with your father-in-law, rather I would share with you how to be on the best terms with your father-in-law.

My father-in-law ran a grocery shop business. He is a man of wisdom and wit though he appeared like any typical father-in-law on sitcom - stern and strict. To me, he is different. He is more that a father-in-law. He is a friend, a mentor…Just how did we develop this wonderful relationship?

Choosing the right baby name is a big challenge for soon-to-be parent.  I shouldn’t even call it a “baby name”, as your baby will soon grow into an adult and the name must grow up and suit the person he or she will become.

So where do you start when considering a name?  It is a daunting task as there are literally thousands to choose from, and everyone will have their personal preferences. 

For my husband and me, our daughter’s name, Maya, came to us after thinking back on our travels and the happy times we spent together pre-baby.  We met a young woman called Maya while travelling through the Philippines in the 90’s.  She was a Brit; a bit of a free spirit, adventurous, courageous, quick witted, beautiful and fun.  These were all attributes we respected and hoped our daughter would develop.

When I was pregnant and contemplating this issue for the first time, it seemed to me that breastfeeding was the most logical, practical way to feed my baby. Why bother with bottles, sterilisers and formula when I had it all freely available to me? What point is there for my breasts to fill up with warm, nutritious milk if my baby can’t benefit from it?

Of course I understood that some women could not breastfeed for health reasons. A few viruses such as HIV can be passed through the breast milk to baby, as can some infectious illnesses like streptococcus infections. Breastfeeding can also be painful in the first few weeks. Nipples can crack, breasts can become engorged and the milk ducts can become blocked and infected causing mastitis.

No man is an island.  When you are happily married to your love ones, your mother-in-law will be the first to enter the scene. I am married to my husband for 6 years and I am glad that my mother-in-law and I are still at peace with each other even though we are staying in close proximity.
