It's the end of 2023. I made a huge decision this year and that is to go back to the workforce. Initially I was looking for part time jobs so I don't need to spend money on before and after school care for J. But turned out there's a job in the University that I think it suits me and I'd like to give it a try. I got an interview and was offered the job on the same day. So now I am working full time in a research centre at the University of Cambridge.
I have just started building my profile at LinkedIn , and have used a beautiful picture from Amy Little Stories - The Moment by Amy Photography as my profile picture :) I love how I look so natural and relax and calm in the picture, which reflects the true nature of me.
Please carry on to support me through my little shop at Etsy https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/HappyMindsWithBusma There are various pretend play, journals, habit trackers and many more!

Please take a look at my Travel Packing List printable - All you need to do is to print out the list, write down the quantities where needed, and give it to your kids to pack by themselves. Or you can use it as a tool to teach them how to pack 👕👖🩳👟

A colouring🖍️ book for kids. Written and designed by myself. Originally created as one of the prizes for my son's school Summer Festival.

This colouring book is unlike the shop-bought ones. It has a theme on exercising, with many special features such as:
📌exercise records,
📌reminders, and
📌some very cute exercise habit trackers to encourage your little ones to do exercises.

I put extra thoughts on expanding the usage of this colouring book, by adding some suggested games that you can play with it! Instructions are included in the PDFs.

This would be great for kids birthday party favours🎉, or like what I used as prizes for kids school Summer / Winter Festivals. Great alternatives of those small plastic toys you often get as party favours.

You can purchase this from my little Etsy shop https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1242915402/lets-exercise-colouring-book-english and print as many copies you need.

This Easter we went to Quirky Quarter Liverpool and we had a great time. Loads of hands on activities and puzzles.

I would recommend for families with school aged kids and above as younger kids and toddlers might not really appreciate or understand the illusion effect of the different activities and displays in the museum.

I have written a detail blog post on our visit.

(For all the pictures shown in this post, you can simply click on them to enlarge) It was our first time to experience this kind of illusion attraction. When did we visit: We visited on a Tuesday a…
