Funny – What does your child want to be when they grow up?

Last week I walked into Nathan’s pre-school classroom, I saw a big poster on the wall with a big headline “WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE WHEN YOU GROW UP?”

I was looking down the list…

Sophie wants to be a teacher…

Noah wants to be a soccer player…

Bi-Jou wants to be a professional dentist…

Ashley wants to be a professional doctor and Cruz wants to be a fireman…

Looking down the list… I still haven’t found my boy Nathan’s name…  keep looking… scrolling down through the list…. Down till the end of the poster…

Nathan (4 years old) wants to be…

BATMAN?  @.@

As I wasn’t sure if Nathan understood the question, so I turned to Nathan and asked:

“Nathan, what do you want to be when you grow up?”

Nathan said loudly and proudly:

I said: “No Nathan, you can be anything that you want to be but not Batman. What do u want to be when you grow up? Like … a Doctor? A Lawyer?

Nathan replied with a grumpy look,

“No mum, I want to be Batman! I want to kill all the bad guys!”

Hahahaha… at least I know that he has a protective nature to him. He has been in his “BATMAN” world for a while now. At least he didn’t say he wants to be “Thomas the Tank”! Hahaha my little boy is growing up… he has shifted from being a “Thomas the Tank” fan to the Batman world now. Oh well…I guess I will have to ask him in a few months time what he wants to be when he grows up.

What do your little one’s want to be when they grow up?

The Modern Day Mama – What Mother’s want for Mother’s Day

It is that time of year, for those of you who don’t know or have forgotten: Mother’s Day is on this Sunday, May 13.

Have you gotten something for your mum yet?

No? Don’t fret! There’s still time for you to do some last minute shopping or depending on what your mum really wants, you might not even need to ‘buy’ her anything. Not too sure what to do for Mother’s Day? Read on for some ideas or inspiration.

In honour of Mother’s Day Bubbi Joey, is featuring an infographic from Internet Exposure. Here you will see just how tech savvy the modern day mamas have become, as well as what they really want for Mother’s Day.

My favourite stats and information from Internet Exposure’s “Not Yo’ Mama’s Mama” infographic is in regards to Mum’s and Facebook

“Cute” Things Yo’ Mum Does on Facebook – Comments on the things your friends post…ask you to check out her ‘farm’…LOL

The Modern Day Mama is definitely tech savvy. So should we get her the latest electronic gadgets – smart phone or tablet perhaps? Or would she rather something else?

Chantelle Ellem from Fat Mum Slim created this graphic on “What Mums Really Want this Mother’s Day”

When Chantelle was asked what she wanted for Mother’s Day, this was her response:

 “I don’t really want anything. I mean, I want things, but not for Mother’s Day. I’m just happy to have my little family and to be with them on my day. I think Hubby thinks he’s walking into a trap because you know how we can be. When we say nothing, do we mean nothing or do we meant something?”

LOL how true is that? I am sorry guys, yes us females can be quite confusing at times. Read Chantelle’s full blog entry here: Mother’s Day: What we really want

What will you be buying for mum on Mother’s Day and what are you hoping to get?

But either way, there is one thing that we can all agree that “No language can express the power and beauty and heroism of a mother’s love.”  -Edwin Chapin for this reason the greatest gift that we can shower all Mothers is our Gratitude and Appreciation for all that they’ve done for us. Tell Mum “Thank You” and “I Love You”.

Here at Bubbi Joey, we would like to honour and celebrate all Mothers all over the world with this special Mother’s Day graphic (please click on the image to enlarge it).

Bubbi Joey’s First Expo at The Baby & Toddler Show Melbourne 2012

The Baby & Toddler Show Melbourne 2012 was Bubbi Joey’s first ever Exhibition. Thank you for the warm welcome Melbourne! We loved it and it was so lovely to meet all of you at the Expo! Bubbi Joey would like to say a big THANK YOU to all who came and said “Hello” to us. We really appreciate the support!

The Bubbi Joey Team left Coolangatta Airport, Gold Coast bright (actually not even, the sun wasn’t even up yet!) and early on Thursday 29th March. As soon as we arrived we headed straight to our hotel, checked in and freshen up and off we went to the Melbourne Exhibition Centre to set up the Bubbi Joey stand.

We spent the entire afternoon putting the stand together trying to figure out what was the best configuration. Once the stand was completely set up, we were all pretty pumped and excited for the show to begin despite only having 3 hours of sleep!

Day One at the expo bright and early. Doing any last minute final touches. Eagerly waiting for the big doors of the exhibition centre to open for the show to begin.

WELCOME TO BUBBI JOEY!!!

Debbie assisting parents on completing the Bubbi Joey lucky draw form and informing them what the prizes are.

Look at all the lucky draw entries we received! That’s just Day 1. Thank you to all for participating in the Bubbi Joey lucky draw.

The popular cake display! For those that did not have the opportunity to visit as at the show, Bubbi Joey introduced these delicious ice creams and cakes made from cotton towels. They were available for purchase and as free gift with purchases with Bubbi Joey. Due to popular demand, we will be introducing these to our online store www.bubbijoey.com.au soon! Stay tuned!

Every fashionista knows a great piece of accesory can really enhance and complete a look thus Bubbi Joey introduced hair accessories to our range at the Expo. Here at Bubbi Joey, we are constantly looking at new items to add to our assortment list. Keep an eye on our online store as we’ll be including an accessories section real soon! Available soon at www.bubbijoey.com.au

The cute adorable Nathan was featured on our Lucky Draw banner. Check out the pic below of Nathan and Uncle Jak doing the same pose. Don’t they look alike? Most people thought that Nathan was Jak’s son LOL but Nathan is Jak’s nephew.

Bubbi Joey was very lucky to be right next to the meet and greet station. We got to meet Max & Milly and got to see Bananas in Pyjamas.

The Bananas in Pyjamas were such a hit with the little ones, the line up to meet them was massive! But I think the adults were just as excited to see them too especially Jak! Haha. He would disappear from the Bubbi Joey stand whenever Banannas were at the Meet & Greet station or on stage just to catch a glimpse and take photos of them. Such a big kid huh?

We didn’t quite manage to get a photo with the ‘real’ Bananas so the banner would have to do. Jak was quite sad that he didn’t get the opportunity to take a photo with them so I jokingly told him that I could always photoshop him in a photo with them. LOL funny story.

The Baby & Toddler Show Melbourne 2012 was such a great experience for Bubbi Joey. With each passing day at the show Bubbi Joey grew and learned so much.

The 3 days of Expo was amazing and full on. The Bubbi Joey Team were kept on their toes from 8.30am to 4.30pm everyday. The awesome people that we met, the fantastic support and great feedback that we received was just unbelieveable. Thank you!

As The Baby & Toddler show came to an end on Sunday the 2nd of April, it was bump out time for the Bubbi Joey stand. It was a long day but a truly satifying one. Bubbi Joey had an amazing first Expo experience. Bubbi Joey looks forward to future expos and seeing Melbourne again!

Bubbi Joey will be there! – The Baby & Toddler Show Melbourne 2012

Nathan’s Golf Day

We’ve had really wet weather in Queensland, Australia lately and Sunday was no different. The sky was overcast and there wasn’t much to do at home. So Uncle Jak suggested that we head out to the driving range.

最近天氣真的不知道在攪什麼鬼, 下大雨, 澳洲黃金海岸部份地方還淹水. 難得這個星期天, 雨沒那麼大, 那就決定了到GOLF場看看, 打回GOLF吧!

While we were all changing into our outfits. Nathan noticed that everyone was wearing white except mummy!

當然最開心最興奮的是NATHAN喇~ 當每個人很忙地換衣服時, NATHAN看到我, 很不滿意地說: “HEY, Mummy, 你不能去, 因為你沒有穿白色衣服!”  老大呀, 為什麼一定要穿白色呢? 管家仔, 真係個管家仔, 沒改錯名, 好, 下次他去中文學校時, 我要幫他加個中文名 “駱管家” 哈哈~ 把兒子的名作玩意, 不錯不錯.

Nathan: Mummy! You can’t play golf in that *points to mummy’s black shirt* You need to wear white!

LOL Kids, say the cutest things!

Due to the rain, driving range was closed so we ended up playing putt putt!

因為早上下大雨, GOLF場關了, 沒辦法打. 那就改去另一邊練入”隆”. 舅父用教Nathan打GOLF.

Do your little ones play golf too? What sports do your little ones do? We’d love to hear from you!

你的寶貝也有玩GOLF嗎? 他/她們喜歡什麼類型運動呢?

Nathan had a great day at golf! How did you spend your Sunday? We hope the rain didn’t stop you from having fun on Sunday!

這天雖然天氣一般, 可是我們過了個很開心的星期天. 你呢? 你們的週末怎樣過的呢? 在黃金海岸的你, 希望你不會被這些雨水影響你的心情喔.

Love,

Bubbi Joey
