Abandoned to Die: Latest Offshoot of China and the One Child Policy

Just read this on Daily Mail and it kinda messed with my head, still trying to comprehend how a human can do this to an innocent, helpless child that did not ask to be conceived in the first place.

A newborn baby girl was left to die in a plastic bag with her throat cut in China's Liaoning province. The baby still had her umbilical cord and placenta attached and was discovered by a man scavenging in the bin for recyclables who alerted local residents and the police.

The baby girl was reported to be still breathing and was rushed to the hospital where she is recovering presently.

This got me wondering whether the sick person that did this would have done that if the baby was a boy. (That is a topic for another day).

The picture below literally melted my heart and I pray the little angel makes full recovery and gets absorbed in a warm and loving family where she would have a rich and fulfilling life.

Recovering: The premature baby was found in a bin, with placenta and umbilical cord still attached, in Anshan city in northeast China

DIY: 15mins Easy Peasy Wrap Skirt

6 years ago when hubby-to-be and I decided to take that bold leap, I went hunting for the right material to make a nice outfit for our *introduction program and soon made me a nice skirt and blouse for the 'do'. Fast forwarded to 2013, my dress size understandably changed from 6 (yes I was a sz 6) to 10 and there was no other option than to give out my much loved outfit to someone who is slimmer. Only hitch being that the scarf went into hiding at the time I gave it away only to resurface last week from its hiding place deep within the closet.

Life is a beach...really

So this year got off to a very good start for me with lots of motivation packed into my 'big' frame. Hoping and praying to sail through the same way I started...you know...crossed over to 2014 with lots of prayers for a good year, then had lots of good heavy food (really tempted to take pictures of my culinary exploits and share here...but no thanks...). Talking about food, I did something weird...a post for another day, if I ever get round to it. Then I left Hubby and the kids alternating between Disney Junior and CNN and just crashed on the bed for some well deserved rest.Oh sweet, blissful rest.

Helping Kids Choose Career Paths

Source My 6yr old little man, D1 now wants to be a Doctor, a Chef and a Teacher. Together. D2 is now 4yrs and still wants to be a Doctor . You ever seen anyone with combined honors a la career before? Maybe it's going to start with my boy, D1. Don't. Dare. Laugh. Yet. Remember this post where he wanted to be a Doctor, an Engineer and a Pastor? Now the tides have apparently turned and the Pastor option has been eliminated in less than a year and the Chef option introduced into the equation.
