Does your child have a full toy box but only play with a select few? Toys that only do a small, limited number of things often get tossed aside. They are fun for awhile but pretty soon they become too predictable. That results in boredom and kids don't like to be bored. So they find something else to play with and the boring toys end up in the bottom of the toy box.

This is a big question that many couples fear especially the woman. In Asia, women are still more conservative when we talk about sex. Even when consulting our doctor , it may seems pretty embarrassing or awkward. Often after childbirth, our concerns are the recovery of our womb, our overall health and also is the baby fine and many more concerns. Lovemaking is probably the last thing on the back of our mind.

I always been a person who loves travelling. Usually i only travel around Asia regions and my dream destination is Maldives or Mauritius. I love the beach, sand and the sea. When i was pregnant, i took a short break to neighbouring countries. Although it was only a few days, the feeling was different and i feel totally recharged and refreshed after the trip. It was really a good chance to spend "couple time" , to relax and bond with our precious little one even though she was still in the tummy. She is officially travelling without a passport.
