The Beginner's Guide to Parenthood 2.0 is organized by Parenthood, in the past Parenthood has organized many parenting workshops and once again it's successfully held at Sunway Medical Center in the morning on 4th November 2018 with a total of 200 participants, although most of them were new parents and parents-to-be, but it also attracted parents like me who already have kids because in parenting, the learning journey never ends and I really enjoy the entire session because it was presented by professionals and experts in field, at least I know I can trust what they say.



This year themed was Are you ready to be a confident parent? and here are the topics from the programme summarized below: -

#1 Raising A Balanced & Successful Child In The 21st Century by Ms Sam Jeng Mun a certified clinical psychologist who focused on the effects of screen time in children. She also discusses the best way to tackle the touchscreen generation and the importance of free-play in a child’s development.



#2 Understanding Your Baby’s Developmental Milestones by Consultant Paediatrician by Dr Cham Weng Tarng talked about the developmental milestones according to ages and stages together with ways to encourage a child’s physical and mental development.
#4 Indoor Wellness Program was also one of the big topics presented during the workshop. Dr Amir Hamzah who is the President of the Malaysian Society of Allergy & Immunology (MSAI) talked about air pollution, especially indoors, where many of us think we’re safe.



At the end of each topic, the was an interactive Q&A session to answer parents' questions and a quiz where participants could win themselves a cute little Blobby doll by Nippon Paint Malaysia. It was such a big hit that participants were rushing to answer the questions that were given by the emcee.


To top the day off, two lucky couples won themselves a free painting package worth RM1500 by posting their most creative photo of them on their social media at the Kid’s Room installment that was set up at the workshop.



The Beginner's Guide to Parenthood 2.0 by Parenthood was a great event and I really enjoyed and got inspired by the topics discussed and I can't wait for the next workshop!

Hi loves! As a mother myself, traveling can be quite tricky when it comes to kids or babies, but that does not stop my husband and me from bringing my two baby girls on the best travel of our lives. Best trips are always together as a family, regardless if they are ten months old or 10 years old. We just have to know the tricks to it.

Traveling long hauls can drain everyone out sometimes, especially children. My husband and I have our own shared experience on that when flying with Miya and Mina. So, here are some few tips and tricks to keep them entertained in a flying bird.



Keep Your Diaper Kits Ready

Some airlines like Malaysia Airlines flights do provide various infant amenities. You can look up the Infant Amenity Icon if you ever go the airline page to ensure what type of amenities offered. However, it is best to bear in mind that sometimes, self-preparation is an ultimate guarantee hassle-free ride. Keep stocks of extra diapers, wipes, pacifiers, formula milk and other necessities that you might need on a long flight.

Get Germs Control Into Action

Children - especially are susceptible to germs and we know how plenty of bacteria are in airplanes. Hence, it is best to keep your children’s seat well wiped from top to bottom. You would not want your child to get sick during the long haul flights. If your children are hypersensitive to germs, you have to take extra effort to ensure the seat is well-kept for their health and comfort.



In-Flight Pharmacy Supply

Again, you will have to double check with your airline's medicinal policy to see if there are any restrictions on the kinds of medicine you can bring on board with you. Apart from prescription medicine, it is best to have other usual supplements like vitamins, motion-sickness or flu-prevention with you, in case either of your family members might need it. This will save your children the restlessness they might feel when flying.

Plenty, Plenty of Food and Drinks

If we as adults love munching on food and drinks to kill time in long-haul flights, I think the rule definitely applies to children as well. My girls might not deny it too. Some airlines do have restrictions on bringing outside food on board, while some are a bit flexible on it. It’s best to look at your airline policies beforehand. You can also purchase the in-flight snacks as well. Keeping the tummy in a happy mood will ensure a smooth ride.



Entertainment is Key

This is probably one of the main way parents alike utilize to keep their kids busy and not bother about the long flights they are enduring. You can bring with you various coloring books, board games, interactive gadget and gizmos to keep your children occupied. You could even download yourself a whole series or movies of their favorites that could last the entire flight time. Not only will your kids be occupied, but you have your little own family quality time on the plane as well.

This is as far as my maternal instinct can suggest to you. There might be others that you will find helpful and please share with me if you have more tips and tricks to make trips for our little ones a fun one. Side note to this, if you are planning a family trip anytime soon, you can try visiting Traveloka if you want to book cheap flights because they offer several promotions for different airlines. You might find one that could suit your family needs.

Aging is inevitable, the collagen in our bodies starts to break down as we age resulting in fine lines and sagging. As with most things in life, prevention is better than the cure, I'll be entering my 30s next year and taking care of my skin from the inside and outside would be beneficial both in terms of enhancement and prevention.



What is Iviora Oxybright?
Iviora Oxybright is a beauty beverage that has whitening benefits, packed with astaxanthin it derived from Micro-Algae which has 20 times stronger as an antioxidant, which makes it a great product especially in promoting healthy skin, eye health and strengthen the immune system. It also helps us maintain youthful skin, rejuvenate, protect us from UV damage and minimize signs of aging such as wrinkles, age spots etc.

How to consume and what does it taste like?
Iviora Oxybright comes in sachet form, mix it with any juice of your choice or plain water and consume it twice a day on an empty stomach. The taste is pretty good, it tastes just like really berries which makes it really pleasant to drink it with plain water.



How soon will you see results?
This depends entirely on you but significantly you'll notice the difference after a box. For me I felt my skin being more moisturized after my first box and I am really glad I didn't have any dry flaky patches that I get sometimes which makes it easier for me when I put on my make up.

Farm in the city is pitched as a kampung-style farm located in Seri Kembang, get a chance to interact with heaps of animals including horses, rabbits, guinea pigs, reptiles, giant turtles, Alpaca to deer, sheep, birds, turtles, Persian cats, hamsters, horses, ferrets, wallabies, and many more. With a total of 17 stations for visitors to explore, this is definitely a trip worth making.

I've spent half a day there but I've made a mistake to go in the afternoon, it was terribly hot that day which wasn't too comfortable for me and the kids because I was babywearing Mina but nevertheless we had so much fun there and even I learned a little something out of it.





p/s: Animal feed is available at pocket money prices to add to the experience, before entering you could purchase a bucket for RM10 and you could add on RM2 for other feedings.

Here are a few stations that we really loved and enjoyed and seriously I need to revisit it again because time spent there wasn't enough, when I came home and shared the amazing day we had, my husband was sold, so we are planning another trip again :)




Turtle & Tortoise Farm
Had fun feeding and interacting with the gigantic Giant Tortoise Species, Miya was a little bit shy and scared but soon she warmed up to her natural self and enjoyed the companies of the turtle, you know how they always say turtles are slow? That is not true, they can walk pretty fast and we were amazed by the speed they can get when they are coming for food.










Bird Aviary
Be amazed with more than 100 Malaysian birds in free-flight, the birds would actually feed right off your hand, all you need is to be a lil patient and have some food in your palms.







Savannah
Here's my first encounter with the cute Alpaca and we got really close with the Javan deer, the largest species of ‘Rusa’ and the super friendly goat from Switzerland.




Pet Village 
Rabbits and Guinea Pigs are such soft and cute animals and we took the chance to feed them here.







Mood's Lake
Took a long stop here because Miya had to much fun with the Koi fish and we also manage to catch a glimpse of the black swans.
ps// You could also summon the Koi fish by ringing the bell









Exhibition Hall
I've always been fascinated with reptiles ever since I was a kid, particularly, snakes, when I spotted the ball phyton I was so happy I could finally show Miya that snakes are not poisonous, the bearded dragon was really cute as well and on top of that we spotted the sleepy skunk.



Kampung Mahmood
Last but not least, we've reached the last station, this stop was really enjoyable because of the performance thrown by the macaws and parrots. they put up a great show for us and you could catch that on my ig stories here
