Mia’s Wardrobe Refashion
Received this halter neck dress from a dear friend. Her daughter hardly wears it – the girl hated it (lets just say she’s more of a tomboy hehe). But I don’t blame her, she does have her point . A big turnoff with the strawberry flowers and honestly, a halter neck on a kid – not my kinda dress up for young girls.
Yes of course, a refashion was badly needed.
SO, Ta-Da!
So much nicer right? The black top was from my old Zara top, modified it to fit Mia’s body and attach the ruffles dress to it. Pretty simple process.
Weekends is finally here. This year I’m so inspired to create so many things for my kids and self. Until then, have a great weekends peeps.

On the first day of 2012
We had a low key new year eve celebration with our neighbor who came over to watched movie ( Money Ball) , while Mia & Mike played to their heart content with D+M. We even let them sleep late that night. It was a chillaxing night for all of us.
On Sunday morning, we had a roadtrip to Kuala Gandah with friends. But before heading there, we stop by Hutan Lipur Lentang to have our morning breakfast and let ‘em kids play, swim in the river. Mike didn’t like it, water was too for cold. We arrived early, so manage to find a nice spot to have our little picnic. By noon, we continue our main agenda, to see elephants at Kuala Gandah. Took us 45 minutes to get to our destination. Weather was scotching hot! My shirt also drench with sweat. But am glad Mia was sucha sport. She truly had the most fun giving peanuts and took pictures with elephants. Mike was a bit cranky as he was lacking in his afternoon nap.
Too bad we missed out the free elephant ride. Only for the first 100 people were given the opportunity per-day. The journey continue to have durian fest by the road side. Now twas fun! Cheap and yummy delicious durian for RM5 per kg. Couldnt be happier 
. The day ended with early dinner at our favorite restaurant in Kampung Baru where we had nasi bubur with lauk pauk.

Mia and Mike Birthday Party 2011
We decided to throw a combined birthday party for Mia and Mike over the weekends. We were occupied on their birth month (September) for few reason – celebrated our Aidilfitri and the following month,we went Australia for holiday. So we decided December it is!
Previous party I throw for them can be seen here and here.
I asked Mia what theme she likes and her answer was- ” a rapunzel party mommy!pleaseeee” . Mike is still very into his Buzz Lightyear , and so of course it has to be a Toys Story theme! Since it’s a combined theme ( a little crazy there i must say) I was happy it somehow matches in terms of color – purple (rapunzel) and green (buzz lightyear) . It was easy once I get the color combo and quickly work on what needed to be done.
This time around I plan to have games for the kids. One of it was the pinata. I was inspired with Jordan Ferney’s DIY pinata [here] and as a sucker for DIY I just gotta try. Number 5 for my girl . I knew it, my husband’s old album boxes will come in handy one day and so we used that! Reuse Recycle ;P . Bought purple and green crepe paper to work on it one step at a time. Mia even help out at one point but gave up as she feels ‘tired’ and wanted to do more important things (like watching her rapunzel movie for the nth time!) .
As in previous parties, I love giving something memorable for kids. Mia’s 3rd birthday we gave chalkmats as favors and in previous year was a small pocket bag. For this party I decided its best to make drawstring bags. Since there’ll be a pinata filled up with sweets, the bag will do ‘em good .
The last thing I don’t like in a birthday party is wasteful on food and cake! This year, we didn’t order one, except the green and purple swirls cupcakes. On the day itself I asked a friend a help me to buy wondermilk’s medium size cupcakes and treat it as the ‘birthday cake’. Almost all cupcakes gone by the end of the party. So yay! nothing was wasted. Success
One new things I splurge for the party would be the Ikea’s curtain I bought a week ago. I couldnt help it falling in love with the garland pattern on it so I must have that as the photobooth backdrop. We’re happy everyone was sucha sport taking pictures and using our silly props. Most things are recycled from our previous party.
Oh I must add, weather was great too! It was gloomy at first, but it just stop there, no rain. KL has been raining almost every afternoon til evening. Boy am I glad it didnt rain on the day Alhamdulillah!
All in all, my kids had an awesome time with their friends and so do we. And THANK YOU my lovely friends who came and made a joyous day. Bless you!
