Raised By A Frugal Mommy - A. Kimi Date : 19 Feb 2012 After hard-core scrubbing, no more stains! Lil Kimi is becoming increasing restless these days. He doesn't like lying around too much so I googled "when-can-baby-ride-walker" - most moms answered 4 months and others even said 3.5 months! So yesterday's Garage Sale mission was to find a cheap preloved walker for Kimi. Luck was on our side when after nearly giving up hope, the second last house we visited had an unwanted walker for sell at $5. I was 'quite' happy. The walker didn't look too appealing.

Date: 12 Feb 2012 It has been super ages since my last museum visit, I can't even remember when! I decided to visit Cobb & Co Museum because it was very near to the place we live in, plus it's FREE for Toowoomba residences! The museum is located next to the beautiful Queens Park. Through out the month of February, activities are being held for visitors - hands on stuff so we can learn to make things like weaving, hat decorating, lace making, etc... Oh... What is this museum all about? Well, it displays about 40++ original horse-drawn carriages that used to serve Queensland in the late 1800s and the early 1900s. It was amazing to see how people in the old days rely on horses to travel everywhere - our cars (even Perodua Kancil!) are waaaay more comfortable! Hmmm.... fast forward to the year 3012 - our cars will be on display in museums and visitors will be wondering how we survived on tyres! ( ^ u ^ )Y I bet this posh looking carriage belonged to a rich man...   Ha...
