In my quest to heal our bodies, I have trawled the internet for hours, usually after the children have gone to bed. Which means I am often up till 2am or so 🙁 Before our eczema rash became so bad, I was often up surfing for recipes and/or menu plans. But since it has gotten […] Read more…
Frustrated
Since my last Allergy Update on June 18th, things were really improving really well. So much so that I thought that by August 25th, which will mark 1 year of Sarah’s very strict diet, we could have a celebration of sorts! Sadly though, that did not come to pass. Instead, shortly before August 25th, we […] Read more…
Dealing with expectations
People like to heap their expectations onto us. And we do it to them too 🙂 But we need to remember that the only person’s expectations we need to live up to is God’s. Not man’s. For if we keep on looking for Man’s approval, we might just kill ourselves to get it 🙁 Take […] Read more…
2 more with allergies
Even as dd has been struggling with eczema I have often wondered about our boys. Ds 1 often has sneezing fits in the morning and in the past few years has complained incessantly about having pains in his neck. We have brought him to an occupational therapist, a physiotherapist, an osteopath and a chiropractor since he […] Read more…
Allergy Update
This is an update following my previous post, So we are allergic to what?! We started the elimination diet back in September 2010 after the test results showed us the foods dd was allergic to. Her skin started to clear. Not completely but there were patches of clear skin which gave us the determination to […] Read more…
Babies Slow You Down
I would think all moms would have known by now that the moment you get pregnant, your life is changed forever. And I am not just referring to our physical size 🙂 The moment you get pregnant, you are forced to slow down, unless you are one of the rare few who have an easy […] Read more…
Election Fever
The elections are over and the ruling party, PAP,* has been returned to power although it has lost 1 GRC* and 1 SMC*. It has been an interesting 9 days of campaigning in Singapore where many people voted for the first time in their lives. I am one of them 🙂 What’s interesting to me […] Read more…
A Ministry as Unto the Lord
We MUST remember that serving God is not just in outside ministry, in Church, as a missionary. Feeding the children, caring for them. serving them IS ministry. Just not what the world (and sometimes the Church, sadly) teaches, that’s all 🙂 I quote to you Oswald Chambers’ My Utmost for is Highest, October 21 : […] Read more…
21 Years
On Friday, 11th March 2011 (yes, the day the awful earthquake and tsunami struck Japan), dh and I celebrated our 16th wedding anniversary. We celebrated by bringing the children to the zoo since the next day was Anna’s birthday and we most certainly did not want to go to the zoo on a Saturday 🙂 […] Read more…
It is no big deal – really!
It seems that everytime someone enters a new decade of their lives there is much sadness instead of celebration and excitement. I see this all the time on Facebook updates. Why? Have we been so sold out to the world’s definition that we are valuable only when young? That an older person with experience and maturity […] Read more…
