I love my blog: Everything about my blog & Happy New Year 2011

Hi folks!

I've received a tag from Transformed Housewife (a.k.a. Kak Nura) , a blogger buddy I got to know from blog-hopping :) and here's some questions I need to answer as part of the tagging fun...(I think some of these tagging helped us to rethink and enable others(& ourself) to get to know us better as well :)
So Kak Nura, here I am "menyahut" or taking up your "challenge"/tagging...no "tak marah"(not angry at all.. :) All for fun! haha......
Ready? Okay. Let's go to the first question:


1.  What's the history of the blog's name and the story behind the header and background?


      The name for this blog came about when I was pregnant with my second child. I was unprepared then for a second child. KY was only 1 year old then. My initial plan was to try VBAC(Vaginal Birth After C-section) after 2 years :) But God sent us our gift earlier...thus I turn to blogging to record my pregnancy journey and later on sharing about parenthood journey with my friends.


The header was a DIY one, one which I did in year 2009 after waiting for months for my Graphic Designer DH to create one for me...I just took it up to stride and create it as how i feel it...I love the kids on the swing...one activity I loved doing with my kids too :) swinging happily....singing our favourite tune...
