A Good Meal Solution
Our maid has gone on 2 weeks' Hari Raya home leave. Living without a helper is actually manageable except for 1 major hurdle - settling Dana's dinner. With our hectic schedules as full time working parents, trying to find a good (i.e. healthy and nutritious) dinner for the Princess after work each evening is proving to be quite a challenge. Plagued by guilt, my mind drew a blank as a brand new week approaches. Surely we cannot feed our daughter the same … [Read more...]
How to handle your (fiercely) independent toddler
Last week, our Princess turned 29 months. We know very well that she's a vocal, sociable and a confident little girl. Beyond that, she's also fiercely independent - demanding to do many day-to-day tasks on her own. "Mummy, I'll do it myself!" would be her retort - be it opening the front door, getting out of the car, putting on the socks or helping with the groceries shopping cart. As a mom, I admit I sometimes find these attempts … [Read more...]

Bidding A Fond Farewell…
Today Dana's Chinese Teacher, Zhang LaoShi will be leaving the Preschool to reunite with her family. Zhang Laoshi has been the most patient, caring and wonderful teacher to the tots. It's a pity Dana couldn't continue to be under her tutelage for Mandarin lessons. This morning, despite the heavy downpour, I brought Dana (along with some yummy home-baked cupcakes) to the preschool so we can take photos with this dear teacher before she leaves Singapore. We'll miss your … [Read more...]

Dana’s 1st Church Camp :)
The month of June passed in a twinkling of an eye, leaving me with so many backlogged entries to post. On 8 June, we took a coach up to Sunway Lagoon, KL for our Church camp as a family and came back deeply blessed and spiritually nourished. The theme of the Camp "Faith & Fire" was aptly chosen. Our faith was re-ignited as we immersed in the Word of God delivered by the Camp Speaker Dr Philip Lyn (From Sabah). Personally, I left the camp with a renewed conviction … [Read more...]
Dearest Daddy…
Growing up, I didn't have a daddy (my only Daddy was my Abba Father in Heaven) so I dreaded the sight of happy families celebrating Father's Day. Now that I'm blissfully married (for 11 years) to a wonderful husband who adores our beautiful daughter and loves the family with all his heart, it touches me each time when I see them interact. The bond between a Daddy and the daughter is special and cannot be replicated. This Fathers' Day, we celebrated it at home (Dana and … [Read more...]
