Weekend Wanderings: Whimsical UPicnic 2013
Living in an urbanised city, it takes a conscientious effort to make a picnic happen. That's why we are very appreciative of NTUC UFamily's initiative to host the UPicnic in a bid to get more families to bond over food, fun and memories. This year is the second year that UPicnic is organised and we were delighted that it's only a stone's throw away from our home at West Coast Park.

We’re a U Family Blog Champion!
When David and I wed in 1999, we yearned very much for a child to complete our family. For those who know, we spent 9 long years seeking this dream. When Dana was born in 2008, our family was complete. Families are the cornerstone of any society. Families nurture, preserve and pass the values and virtues we hold dear onto the next generation. In the family, we learn our first lessons of love and discipline, respect and responsibilities, empathy and compassion for others. David … [Read more...]
