Like everyone else, I used to think that being a parent is an impediment to career success. But little did I know that being a parent – and specifically a mom – can make you better at your job. So here’s my personal take on why women can personally become a better employee once they become a mom.
View PostWow, I received so much love and support from my previous post on why it’s so hard to work late as a working mom. I’m relieved to know that so many of you find it challenging to balance work and family. I feel a little less lonely. Every day, the husband and I continuously try to grow into being better parents for our 2 children. But you know who we’re neglecting?
View PostBefore I became a working mom, putting in extra hours at the office was a piece of cake. I did it often and I didn’t mind it.

We went to Sentosa’s Family Beach – Palawan Beach. It was a lovely afternoon, not sunny at all. I was more excited than the little fella. He probably didn’t know where we were bringing him till we literally put him on the sand. We also brought our helper out that day…

View PostHello everybody. Thank goodness for internet otherwise I might really go crazy at home. So this is the recovery time after childbirth. I’m at home doing my chinese confinement in Singapore. Baby Daniel is doing well and it’s nerve-wrecking as first time parents. I got the hang of carrying a newborn and breastfeeding relatively well.
