I brought the children to the playground yesterday and saw a sight which is very common in Singapore. A maid with her 2 charges – a 3year old boy and a 4month old baby. The 3 yr old was of course tearing round the playground, having just been released from playschool. The maid was playing with […] Read more…
50 Years of The Pill
While I do realise that few believe as we do about trusting God and letting Him plan our family, one should really think and research carefully before popping The Pill as a contraceptive. Or inserting the IUD for that matter. Actually anything that alters the way our bodies are designed to work by God is a bad, bad idea. […] Read more…
Dealing with Thrush
It is said that thrush is often the result of taking antibiotics since antibiotics will kill off the good as well as the bad bacteria. But I have not taken antibiotics for years. And neither has the baby. So in my humble opinion, overdosing on sugary stuff can also cause an imbalance in the system and allow the bad bacteria to flourish with a vengeance. Read more…
A Different Mom
This should be entitled Part 2 of What I Have Learnt in the Past 12 Years. 🙂 Today, after lunch, as I rushed about cleaning up the kitchen after frying up a kilogramme of pork chops for dinner, the almost 3 year old, Deborah, asked to take her nap. Yes, this is the only child ever […] Read more…
What Have I Learnt in the Past 12 Years?
I meant to publish this last month! But one thing led to another and then I got caught up decluttering the house so this has been waay delayed! Our oldest child turned 12 last month. Yes, we have a child on the brink of manhood here 🙂 As I look at him and remember his early […] Read more…
Overheard today
Child #4’s birthday falls on Saturday (Labour Day) so we are bringing her out for her birthday outing tomorrow (Friday) instead so that we don’t have to jostle with crowds – one of the many benefits of being a homeschooling family 🙂 To show that she is ok with celebrating it earlier and not on […] Read more…
Would you?
Do you know about the IT bags? The must have bags that scream “I am so with it!” from a mile away? The kind that costs tens of thousands of dollars – no matter what currency you are using? Well, obviously I don’t own one 🙂 But I was thinking – would I own one […] Read more…
From the almost 3 year old
This morning, the almost 3 year old made me laugh with her very grown up comments. Me : D please set the table for me. D : Ok….actually I don’t want. Me : Just go, ok? D : OhhhKayyy. Did she actually say “actually”??? 😀 Then later in Church. She asked me to do something […] Read more…
Seeing the Thorns Instead of the Roses
When I had Anna in our master bedroom almost 13months ago and shared her Spirit-led birth story on my blog, I was so grateful that God was in the whole situation. From the pregnancy to the birth, He was there. Yet I was told that I have been irresponsibly influencing multitudes of people into birthing unassisted […] Read more…
An Unassisted but God-led Homebirth
It has been almost 13 months since we had our unassisted, God-led homebirth in our master bedroom. But I have found out that there are people out there who are not pleased about it. They prefer to see the Thorns Instead of the Roses. I was taken to task for sharing our God-led homebirth story because […] Read more…
