It was a rough morning, and I found myself very lacking in loving response. Turning to 1 Corinthians 13, and with brokeness of heart, I prayed:
Lord, You said no matter how much I pray or speak in tongues or prophesy, if I have not love, I am nothing. Whatever I speak to my kids only [...]

This morning’s devotion spoke volumes to me especially after yesterday’s homework incident.

“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Philippians 4:13 (NKJV)
I was encouraged by how Renee shared about how she managed to turn around her “I Can’t” son to a “Can-Do” kid simply by changing what she called them.
It was a great [...]

It was a rough day that ended well. I gave S a couple pages of maths (well ok, 14 pages but v v easy ones and no problem sums…) to do which saw him complaining from start to finish. Basically he complained 8 minutes out of 10 and the remaining 2mins were used to do [...]

Wake up early to start each day with the Lord. Yes, that is one of my New Yr Resolutions, and I thank God for a dear friend who gladly volunteered to be my partner in this commitment. Previously I’d wake at 6am, prepare S for school then do my devotion after he leaves.
This year, I [...]

Feeling rather sorry for the kids who hardly saw me [...]

We hope so! To begin, this is an example of a Higher Chinese Comprehension Text for Primary One. Is it my “jiak-kantang” background or is it honestly a bit cheem for Pri 1? Note the crumpled paper and messy writing which testifies of all the rubbing and frustrated boy and many many re-writes.
And a list [...]

We originally intended to visit the horse stables at Pasir Ris (yes! There are horses in the East!) Check them out at www.gallopstable.com/ but ended enjoying the mangrove swamp pathway more It’s at the same place slightly away from the stables at 61 Pasir Ris Green (car park C). Just stroll towards the sign [...]

It’s amazing what pooch-loving entrepreneurs come up with these days. Dresses and coats for dogs! I’ve been introduced into the doggie fashion arena by self-confessed fashion queen SIL who bought these two adorable outfits in Phuket for her own pooch which has outgrown them.
I think they look bAbLiCiOuS on LV. Finally, a girl to indulge in dressing.
MIL [...]

I was lying down with the kids, w a i t i n g for them to s l e e p. Sam was already zonked out but I was getting rather annoyed with Matt flopping about and singing – obviously not sleeping. When he suddenly plonked his cute little face right in front of [...]

On Saturday, Sam threw a MEGA tantrum over a really trivial issue. The boys were “sharing” 6 construction vehicles, and both wanted a particular one.
Well, none wanted to give way so Sam snatched it away right in front of me. Seeing it, all 6 vehicles were confiscated and I told S that [...]
