If I have to sum it up, my first trimester was pretty much like having to survive a brutal kungfu endurance training, but with less of the awesome kungfu moves and more of the part where I end up vom...
It’s an unspoken rule – there are certain things we’re not supposed to do as moms. We don’t let our kids play with knives or stick their fingers in sockets or eat too much jun...
MINDEF had its annual Army Open House over the weekend and we were invited for a preview earlier in the week. I usually don’t go for these sorts of events but they told me that I could ride on ...
Those aren’t really my favorite things but they happen to be the favorite things of Bert, Cookie Monster and Oscar. And I know this because those guys just sang a really cute song about it duri...
With toddlers, bedtime can be the best of times or the worst of times. Sometimes, like last night, it can be a little bit of both. Time check: 10.20. It was 45 minutes since I attempted to put Kirste...
Advertorial When I was a kid, I didn’t really pay much attention to protecting my eyes. I always figured that they’d be fine and the worst thing that could happen was myopia, which sort o...
Brought the kids for their first run yesterday. Wait, they’ve obviously ran before and they do it all the time at home but I’m referring to the kind of run with lots of people and cool T-...
Among all the battles I’ve had with the kids, none has been as epic as the one we’ve had with food. And I’m not referring to food fights, although there have been some. For people t...
One of the best parts of the second trimester is this activity I like to call Watching The Baby Move, also known as Let’s See Who Can Stare At My Pregnant Belly The Longest. I do that a lot the...
Yesterday morning, I woke up to a barrage of baby kisses. I smiled and said, “Awww thanks kids, was that for Mother’s Day?” They looked at me like ok, what is this Mother’s Da...
“I need space,” he said as he gently shoved me aside with the back of his little hand, eyes still glued to the TV. This was new. He’s needed a lot of things in the past almost 4 yea...
In view of the big 3-0, the husband put together a surprise party on Sunday evening. I’m not typically one for big parties and I’ve always thought it to be overly self-indulgent to be cel...
30. I’ve always figured that’s one of life’s milestones, just not the kind you look forward to. Sort of like having your wisdom teeth extracted or going for your first colorectal ex...
Hulk Smash Woke up this morning with a sudden urge to do the Hulk Smash. It’s got less to do with my anger management issues and more to do with how watching The Hulk smashing Loki around like ...
Back when I was a kid, Asian parents were big on the “kids should be seen and not heard” philosophy and much as my parents tried to be progressive, we were often made aware of the fact th...
Namaste. I won’t pretend to know what that means but I’ve always wanted to say it without sounding like a douche and what better time than after my first real yoga experience. I say real ...
Ok, the radio silence is officially over. It’s generally been a rough couple of days and much time has been spent trying to find myself. I didn’t quite achieve that but I did manage to fi...
I feel broken. And I don’t know how to un-break myself. I don’t think I’ve ever done this before on the blog but I don’t have anything left in me to write so I’m going t...
Kids don’t get political correctness. You know all those neurotransmitters from our various senses to our brain that makes us stop and think before saying something? It apparently takes a long ...
It’s got to be too early to be thinking of birth plans and post-birthing plans – like what I’m going to do with the third baby after he pops out, kicking and screaming. Actually, th...
Me: Tru, is mommy cool? Tru: Of course not. Me: What? Why? Tru: Because you’re mommy and mommy’s not s’posed to be cool. Me: Says who? Mommies can be cool too right? Tru: No, mommie...
I’ve actually never been to one of those famous foam parties at Sentosa, even though they used to be all the rage several years ago. I get the appeal, I mean, it’s a party! With bubbles! ...
After what seemed like forever, I’ve finally clawed my way to the halfway mark of this third pregnancy, leaving me another 20 weeks to go. In true second trimester fashion, the nasty pregnancy ...
I recently had a conversation with the husband about the hover hand phenomenon. If you haven’t heard about it before, go read about it here. Go on, I’ll wait. So the big question is of co...
Advertorial Interior design (or any kind of design, for that matter) is not one of our strengths, so when we bought our first home 5 years ago, we had no idea what to do with all that space or how to...
I can’t think of a better cure to a crummy week than a weekend of food, fun and fantastic company. It was exactly what the doctor ordered, and by doctor, I really mean me. Thankfully, Truett wa...
The moment we found out that Tru has HFMD, I knew it would be quite a task to keep the kids separated while being cooped up in the same house all day. But faced with the prospect of a second kid doin...
Top of the morning to you. I’m up early writing this because the kids are going to wake up in a bit and it’s going to be a mad house around here the rest of the day. Truett is down with h...
Remember when you were a kid and you felt like you could be anything you wanted? Growing up, I wanted to be a zookeeper, a Disneyland mascot, an emperor, a writer and a judge at different points of m...
Ok so the kids are sweet and filled with sparkly rainbow confetti kind of awesome but if I’m honest with myself, there are times where I just want to gag them and stuff them in my closet for 20...
