Disclaimer: I do not represent Shichida Method nor is advertising for them. I am purely a very satisfied SM parent.
Something happened over the weekend that makes me wonder if Shichida Method is really working great for Ross (well, for those who dunno, Ross is my 3 and half years old son)...
Painting works are ongoing at my flat and there are lots of painting equipment that are left around the neighbourhood. Ross asked us what was going on and we told him. Out of the blue, i asked him what colour will the flat be painted? GREEN - he replied very confidently...
And... gosh... guess what... i forgot about the entire episode till my MIL reminded me yesterday... the painters have started to paint the exterior and the part near the windows are painted..... GREEN!
is it the ESP that is always taught in Shichida classes that is at work? who knows? :P i only know that Ross likes Shichida classes and that's enough...
and yes, will be registering Ryan (well, my 2nd son who is 6 mths old) for SM soon... cos the waiting list is super duper long...

Pregnancy Guide #7 - Chinese Soup for Pregnancy
Update:
Yesterday, MIL cooked black beans soup. But this time round, she added some of the bigger types of red beans. Both are organic and the beans are boiled in a slow cooker. One good thing abt organic beans is that they turn soft quite fast and it’s really nice.. i know that some people dislike black beans cos of the texture of the soup. However, you can try to add red beans to it… HTH
***
This section is not about Chinese Tonic Soup but rather types of Chinese soups which are good for pregnancy…
My MIL swears by Black beans soup… Ross’ legs are very strong and she attributed it to the loads of black bean soup that i drank when i was preggy… Well, according to her black beans soup is good for replishing of blood etc…
In fact, during confinement, she added black beans into my longan drink… even for babies, you can use the soup to cook porridge for the bb…

Pregnancy Guide #6 - Chinese Tonic Soup
My MIL swears by brewing Chinese Tonic Soup called ‘Ba Zhen’ which literally means Eight Treasures during my first 3 months of pregnancy with Ross. There are eight types of herbs and the chinese medical hall usual sells them in a packet. However, this time round as i was sick for most of my first trimester, yesterday’s brew was just the 2nd one that i had.
Ba Zhen is good for ladies with painful monthly menstrual cramps as well. With regards to pregnancy, it serves as a tonic for helping with the pregnancy. However, during first trimester, you will have to ask the medical hall uncle to lessen the dosage of 1 of the herbs inside the package. Tried to ask MIL what is that particular herb, she cant pronounced it in Chinese

Review - Kitz products
My hubby told me to share this with others.
He has very sensitive skin... and is prone to rashes.... But after using Kitz 468 Shampoo and Body Gel, his condition is improving....
Also, for me personally, i have been using Kitz 328 for laundry and honestly, it has been great... u know sometimes when we wash our clothes, the perfume smell still lingers? Kitz 328 is able to deordorise the clothes.
For me the best part abt kitz products is that i do not have to get separate products for bb. All the products can be used for both kids and adults.
Kitz products are 100% all natural

Pregnancy Guide #5 - Books for Pregnancy & Breastfeeding
Each time any of my friends tell me that they are pregnant, i will usually share with them or give them 2 books as gifts. 1 is a pregnancy book which i swear by and the other is a fantastic Breastfeeding Guide that i really like.
Pregnancy Book -
by Marie Morgan
This book is extremely good for those who are considering natural birth. I will write more about natural birth in another post. Ginny of Four Trimesters teaches antenatal Hypnobirthing classes.
Breastfeeding Book
-by Janet Tamaro
This book is excellent for mummies considering to breastfeed. The author is very knowledgable and able to write a guide which is both humorous and informative. I re-read this book for my DS2 while nursing him.]
Both books can be bought at Kinokuniya.
