Yes there is absolutely no floor space in their room because of a small ball pool, slide, and too-loud disco dance mat with flashing lights because these kids don’t sleep that much I would like them not to swing from the ceiling lights when they’re bored…

Anyone else unhappy with Pokemon Go right now? The internet is rife with pics of kids (and adults) falling over things trying to capture Pokemon and not watching where they’re going. Rockstar is strictly forbidden from playing this near roads, escalators or stairs.

Never figured out how she did it so nicely, so instead I keep odourless, pregnancy-safe house paint (you can buy a large tin for around HKD 300-400, ours is from Chi Fu market) and now you also know why there are wall stickers all over the house :P)

They also have this. Ikea unfinished cabinet for them to scrawl on with permanent marker. Ok fine, sometimes I draw on it too.

    Good activities to keep both Rockstars occupied! Rockstar looks so cheeky in some of the photos when most of the time he is serious.

      He’s been happier when I’m at home more… I had some projects that kinda allowed me to catch up work deadlines late at night… He can get very very moody especially as he gets older..
