One Step Forward, Two Steps Back?!
Bless the Lord, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His holy name! Bless the Lord, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits: Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases, Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies, Who satisfies your […] Read more…
Playing God again
So by now, everyone would have read the article in Friday’s Straits Times, entitled, “Freezing eggs could reverse falling birth rate”.

Since her main patch is on the […] Read more…
A Breakthrough
After having tried almost everything under the sun to eradicate the eczema beast, I am jaded beyond description. I have come to the conclusion that until the internal system is set right nothing topical is going to help. Of course, we still need to moisturise and keep away from obvious triggers like soaps and detergents […] Read more…
Toilet Training for the 7th Time
Toilet training is not one of my favourite things to do as a parent. It is something I would gladly pay someone else to do it 🙂 But there you go, our 7th child seems to have been completely toilet trained, day and night. But there are of course still accidents. Especially when she is […] Read more…
