Mr K is eight year old now! Time passes so quickly. I still remember how difficult he was as a baby. A lot of the sleepless nights were caused by his reflux which thankfully he grew out of.

I can’t believe my daughter is going to be six next month and she has been to writing out a long list for her birthday wish list. If money was not a problem for her, she would probably buy the whole toy shop plus a few pets like dogs, cat and ponies! She is a charming and persistent girl who would trick you to buying her presents. Hence I hardly take them to toy stores and prefer to shop online! Last time, for my birthday outing, I inexplicably bought her a My Little Pony castle and it was not on sale! So I try to shop online for toys as much as possible. I need to try to be more sensible and not be influenced by the children!

We had been planning to go to Harry Potter Studio for months and finally the day had come! In order to get my children into character, I had purchased two Harry Potter Gryffindor school robes.

It comes with the Gryffindor logo that is embellished on the robe, making it exactly the same as the one Harry Potter wears as he defeats “he-who-must-not-be-named”! It also comes with a hood.
