Wow, 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. I’ll text the husband, order takeaway, share it with my colleagues and finish the work. Go home, sleep, repeat. I’d even have time to squeeze in a workout at the gym. But like with everything else in life, having kids complicates the whole thing about working overtime.
View PostBeing a mom is tough. The devoid of personal time a mom has and the pressure to juggle work and life is beyond what I could have imagined when I was single and childless. Being a mom is exhausting and life just doesn’t stop. I thought having 1 kid was bad. That was until the 2nd one came along recently and I felt like having 1 kid was child’s play (pun intended)! The older child is only 2 years old now and still…

View PostmI work 9-7 pm every week day and get home by 8-9pm, sleep by 10pm and the day starts all over again. Weekends are mad packed with my kid’s enrichment classes and family time. In between toilet breaks at work, late nights and when I’m breastfeeding Nathen, the husband and I had to plan Nathen’s 100 days baby party within 2 weeks.
View PostJust upgraded my modest electric steam steriliser to the Haenim UV Steriliser! I used to sterilise my kid’s milk bottles and my breast pump with the usual “traditional” electric steam method. Recently I have been using a more conveniently efficient (IMHO at least) way to sterilise bottles for my baby. While it is A WHOLE LOT MORE EXPENSIVE compared to electric steam sterilisers, many moms like me prefer UV Sterilising to Electric Steam Sterilising and I’m about to share why. I am…
View PostWe’ve been sending our 30 month old child, Daniel, for brain training classes at BrainFit Studios. There were many enrichment classes we have tried before but I am glad we chose to send him to Brainfit for one simple reason. We see results. Daniel has achieved so many new milestones after attending this brain training course, and that’s why I’m writing about it here (and also because don’t know why suddenly brain training is so often discussed amongst my mummy friends now!) BrainFit Baby™ Programme…
View PostOmigawd this just in! Photos from a recent newborn photography shoot taken of Nathen at 1 month old. I was browsing Taobao casually when I saw heaps of newborn photography props and I was so tempted to cart it all and then attempt to DIY my own shoot at home. Thank god I didn’t because what will I do with all those crazy props after the shoot and where will I find time to do the shoot la. I may be…
