Gleeful Faces and a ‘Conspiracy’ I’ve heard and read so much about this hairdryer and now it’s been presented to me! Along with 3 gleeful faces, one of which was the ‘conspirator’ - the hubby no less, who had secretly planned this as an early Mother’s Day and Birthday present for me, and kept it hidden in the house with the kids’ help. The ‘Candy Store’ and the Mother’s Life Holding the Dyson Supersonic Hairdryer in my hands, I’m like a kid in a candy store, hardly able to contain my … [Read more...]

Mothers Make It Work
Love makes all things light... "While love takes on itself impossible tasks, yet it finds that love lightens all loads. It is the same burden that wings are to a bird, sails are to a ship. Nothing is hard if done for love's sweet sake. The yoke of love is easy; the yoke of duty is hard. There is all the difference in the world between being drawn by love and being driven by duty. The task may be the same, but love makes everything light, and duty makes everything drudgery." ~ Stanley … [Read more...]
Mothers’ Day 2016: Where there’s a will…will there be a way?
“Love is how you stay alive, even after you are gone.” ― Mitch Albom Birthday. Happy? Whenever Mothers’ Day draws near, it also signifies that my birthday is just round the corner. Yes, I was born on Mothers’ Day so I always tell my friends how ironic it is that my route to Motherhood took so many twists and turns. This year, as my birthday swings around again in May, I decided to sit the husband down to discuss some ‘important' plans. The fact that we are both not getting any younger … [Read more...]
In the stillness – A Mother’s Day Tribute 2015
This post is written by David for the two amazing women in his life. It was late and I didn’t want to wake anyone up. I crept quietly from the bathroom to a room I know all too well – my bedroom, except that I had not stepped into my bedroom for almost 4 years - I was overseas studying and had just returned upon graduation. As the timber floor of my maternal home protested with the all too familiar creaks, I turned to my Mum’s room with a guilty face ready to apologise for waking her up … [Read more...]
Happy Mothers’ Day 2014!
Motherhood is an awesome privilege...one which I am immensely thankful for. But mothering is hard work, some days, I feel stretched at all sides till I am losing it...This Mothers' Day, I am reminded that I have the best job in the world but I need to set my priorities right in order to be the Godly mother that God intended me to be. Can't be more grateful than to be a Mom...One of my favourite Christian Pastors, Ted Tripp (author of Shepherding a Child's Heart) once said: “Parenting will … [Read more...]

Home is Where Mom is…Mothers’ Day Linky 2013
A mother is one who loves unconditionally, nurtures and protects, leads by example and puts the needs of her family above her own.My relationship with my Mom only drew closer after I became a Mom. Growing up, I was a 'latch-key' kid. I would come home to an empty house, settle my own lunch and warm up the dinner which my Mom had pre-cooked for my sister and I before she headed off to work. As the sole-bread winner, Mom held 2 jobs to clear the bottomless debts and to bring home the bacon.A … [Read more...]
