I attended 3 talks in the span of 1 week – an amazing feat for someone who is used to staying home most of the time to keep on top of what she needs to do! 😀 And yes, they all had to do with parenting in one form or another. Have you ever sat […] Read more…
The Decline of Literature
So much has been said about the decline of Literature that there would be nothing new in whatever I have to say. So why am I writing this post? I just have to join in with the pro-Literature crowd to say – what a pity that Literature is on a decline! I love Literature! It […] Read more…
18 Years, by the Grace of God
When I read in the newspapers about how people are finding it increasingly difficult to find their life partner, I am forever grateful to God for orchestrating how I met my husband back in 1989. After all, how could 2 people in the midst of hundreds meet and then get married almost 5 years later? I have […] Read more…
Don’t be a martyr
“Don’t be a martyr!” I’ve had many pieces of advice given to me – some sought for and others not 🙂 But the one above is the one that sticks most in my mind because it is full of godly wisdom behind it. And I am passing it along. It came from the wife of […] Read more…
Delegate and Cut Corners
No, I do not have more than 24 hours. Nor am I able to do things at a supersonic speed. Although I wish I could – daily! So how do I do it all? Firstly : I don’t AT ALL. Some things are done all of the time and some things are done some of the time […] Read more…
Not Homeschooling Because it is More Spiritual
A question the other day compelled me to write again that when God impressed upon us to homeschool our children, He did not say – Homeschool because it is the more spiritual thing to do! 😀 Nor did we ever feel that homeschooling would produce academically brilliant children. We also do not homeschool because we want […] Read more…
Miscarriage
In this blog I have written much about pregnancy and labour and all that goes with it. But I have yet to touch on miscarriage. Something that almost never gets talked about. Taboo topic? Is it because we live in an Asian culture where death is taboo to discuss? Or is it because most of […] Read more…
An Unhappy Lot
It would seem from the postings on social media and blog posts that Singaporeans are truly very unhappy – with their lot which they feel is the government’s fault. This anti-government sentiment has become increasingly obvious and people have become increasingly vocal about their unhappiness since the General Election in 2011. On one hand, the […] Read more…
Diet Does Affect Our Well-Being
It often boggles me that people refuse to even consider that diet plays a huge part in our well-being. And when I point out the huge amount of processed foods and additives they are consuming, they often go, “But I can’t go without ……” And so they are willing to live with the various ailments […] Read more…
2012 – A Year of Abundance Indeed
Back in January 2012, my dear husband shared in his January Newsletter that he had been given a word, “abundance” by the Lord. And now in December, as I look back, it has indeed been a year of abundance. In the homeschooling front, we were blessed to be able to graduate another child from the […] Read more…
