My health resolution for 2011

Last year I blogged about my one and only resolution for 2010. Did I do that? Yes we did! But unfortunately it was forced upon us. Due to dd’s increasingly bad attacks of eczema we brought her to a doctor who recommended an IgG test and we found out that according to the test she’s […] Read more…

Stop Whingeing!

Yes that goes for me too! Too often we would rather complain than do something about the various unhappy situations we are in. Great advice can be given but the person receiving it is not listening coz he/she is too busy being self-absorbed and whingeing. As we start a new year, I think the quote by […] Read more…

I am not Serene

I have heard this comment and its variation – “If Serene can do it, so can I!” – uttered a few times too many and it makes me rather uncomfortable. It seems to imply that I am some sort of superhuman creature and therefore mere mortals should not be expected to emulate me and the other […] Read more…

6 Words That Say It All

Local people – Did you read yesterday’s Straits Times article, “6 Words That Say It All”? Written by Wong Kim Hoh, the article features Morning Star Community Service‘s initiative to get people to take stock of their lives by asking themselves the  question – “what truly matters to me” in just 6 words.

Halloween

No one can miss the fact that Halloween is about to come upon us in a week’s time. Everywhere you go, you see ghouls and witches and just plain ugliness glorified.

So what’s up?

😀 Yes, I have not been posting much either here or at Building Up Moms. Yep. So much so that I actually forgot how to log into my account! Faint! So I figured I had better try to write more 🙂 Like lots of mommy bloggers, I have loads to write but very limited time. […] Read more…

I survived yet another Church Camp!

While my friends in the US are really having camps in their great outdoors this time of the year, Christians all over Singapore are having Church camps – mostly in nearby Indonesia or Malaysia 🙂 Just in case you are wondering, it isn’t really a camp since we almost always hold it in a hotel […] Read more…

Healthy Eating is Hard!

I was a little amused and rather comforted to know that eating healthily is not just difficult for me but for others too. I found out recently that a friend who spends a huge amount of grocery money each month on organic food and is into healthy eating feeds her family instant noodles and canned food […] Read more…

Chastised!

I was chastised by the Lord today. And I share this with the intention of cautioning you not to fall into the same trap that I did. I chastised by the Lord for being too quick to judge an acquaintenance. Based on what I had heard (never a good thing!) I made my judgement call and […] 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…
