It’s been a while since I went on an elimination diet. But I figured there’s no other way but to bite the bullet and do it for the sake of figuring out our skin woes as written about in Scratch, Scratch, Scratch and Scratch, Scratch, Scratch 2. I had to wait till the Christmas/New Year […] Read more…
Toddling here and there
It is simply amazing to watch a child go from milestone to milestone. Our baby in a rush is now officially a toddling baby at 9mths! Her tentative 1st steps at 8mths have become strong and confident strides. And yes, better not forget her shoes when we go out! She toddles everywhere! And so very cute […] Read more…
Turning 8
Sometimes the days seem so, so long and yet on other days, things happen so, so fast I can hardly catch my breath. Our 3rd child, 2nd boy turns 8 today. I still remember his birth. And I also remember the stressful early days with him. I used to joke that if I had him first, I […] Read more…
Grateful
Nothing is more stressful than trying to shower the 4 and 2 yr old while a baby is screaming in the background. And this scenario has played itself out many, many times in my life. But now that I have 11 and 9 yr old helpers, the stress has been almost removed. I say almost […] Read more…
The Big, Bad, Mean Mama
I guess I am a Big, Bad, Mean Mama. I don’t molly coddle the kids, even if they are toddlers. If they fall down, they pick themselves up. Life goes on. No need to keep on wailing. Obviously, babies are in a different class of their own 🙂 I sleep train* my children from the […] Read more…

Would you?
Today, the entire family trooped down to West Coast Park for an outing since daddy is available. This is the first time I have been to this park and wow! It is huge! But I think I prefer Pasir Ris Park 🙂 Whenever I am out like this, I like to observe the children and […] Read more…
2010 and only ONE Resolution

But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, […] Read more…
Looking Back at 2009
2009 will come to an end in a day’s time. What have I done in 2009? Not much in terms of quantity and yet a lot in terms of intensity 😀 Usually I can only remember things that happened towards the year end but for 20909 I tried to made it a point to blog […] Read more…
Such persistence!
As I watch my little baby practice her walking skills, I am constantly amazed at her persistence. She started taking baby steps when she turned 8mths. She is now 9mths and is walking a lot more steadily now. And I have noticed that she actually prefers to walk than to crawl. In the beginning, she […] Read more…
