Encouragement and Support for Christian Stay-at-Home Mothers
Despite having chosen to be a stay-at-home mother for almost 18 years, I still feel awkward when someone asks what I do. Somehow being just a mother does not feel important enough. It does not feel like it is a real or legitimate job. And sometimes, on bad days, it even feel like it is a worthless job! Read more…
Some time back, I came across a blog article, No fuss parenting – teach kids to sit still. She shared how she taught her young children to sit through church services, and other occasions without meltdowns. Her piece resonated with me since that was what I used to do.

20th April 2016 I was officially promoted to be a mother of an 18 year old son last Wednesday. Just like back in 20th April 1998 (a Monday), I was promoted to be a mother. However, I think I was more ready to be a mother than be a mother of an 18 year old. Seriously! […] Read more…
Our very first experience with braces began on 4th March 2016 when I brought our son to the orthodontist to get his mouth and teeth x-rayed, and a mould made. It was supposed to take 1.5 hours but it took just slightly over an hour. Because he had to fast 3 hours before the x-ray […] Read more…

On 7th February, 2016, our senior pastor, announced that the Church as a whole would be going into a 21-Day Prayer and Fast initiative starting 6th March and ending on 26th March, Resurrection Sunday. He then took us through a 4 week sermon series to prepare us for it. He must have been very convincing […] Read more…
I am not sure how many of you have even heard of the above documentary series. But it is back! And FREE, starting 12th April (13th April, evening Singapore time)! Watching the documentary, The Truth About Cancer, last year was an eye opener in many ways for me. As a veteran (I say this with […] Read more…
One reader wrote to me to ask about out daily homeschool routine, sometime back in February. However, when I tried to reply to his email, it bounced back.
