Last week Mittens turned five and Scout five months. We celebrated with cake for Mittens and scraped apple for Scout, which she did not like at all. Both of them have grown tremendously in recent months, in different ways. Mittens can now cycle proper after striding on his bike for a month or so, and… Continue reading Turning Five
Some mothers do a really awesome job of organising birthday parties, with the most amazing details to the party theme, decor, venue, goodie bags, and cake. I, my friends, am not one of those people. This year we booked a yacht for Mittens’ fifth birthday, but we were so busy every night that we hardly… Continue reading Son Turns Five, Mother Barely Pulls Off Birthday Parties
Earlier this week, we brought the entire family, nephew and MIL to Gardens by the Bay. Now, I’m always a little weary whenever the nephew is around because it seems like all 3 boys will just go berserk wherever we are – be it a shopping mall, or just taking the lift somewhere. And that… Continue reading 10 Things Every Child Needs
Mittens has taken to Star Wars (and Transformers), much more than we’d ever imagined. His interest has also taught me a lot more about Star Wars than I’d ever previously cared to know, all good though! Last week in homeschooling (ok not really, more like doing activities together), I printed, laminated and cut out some… Continue reading The young Padawan.
It doesn’t seem like only last week we were still in the Maldives. I can still smell the sunblock and the massage oils from the spa. This was my fourth time there (and hubby’s fifth), and Mittens second. Abacus stayed home, otherwise it wouldn’t have been a holiday for me. We really like the Maldives… Continue reading Under the Maldivian Sun
After all the attention seeking and tantrums that we’ve seen that typically stems from having another child in the family, the hard work seems to be paying off. I had heard that elder children sometimes take up to a year to get used to a younger sibling, and boy are they right, since Abacus has… Continue reading Brothers
The 2 boys have been sick since something like last Wednesday. It kinda spoiled the school holidays because I would have wanted to bring them out more, but oh well, I guess s*** happens. No actually I should say, germs and contamination happens! Actually it was probably my fault for letting Mittens stay over at… Continue reading Two Sickies
Recently, the young padawan Mittens has been really into Star Wars. He’s had a Star Wars shirt for some time now, which I’d bought from Gap because the hubby’s a fan, but he never really knew what it was until recently, when hubby bought a few Lego Star Wars items for Christmas. Our nephew who’s… Continue reading May the force be with you
I’ve been really irritated at my internet access recently – first the router wasn’t working properly, and then now the access is intermittent. On top of that even my 3G isn’t working all the time, and sometimes at home (since I also check a lot of stuff on my phone so I don’t have to… Continue reading School update
It’s been a month since school started, and we’re now on a break for CNY. We also had a break from school on the second week of January, since we were on a holiday to Bali. He’d been crying when going to school every day, until this last week. I think the bribery with many… Continue reading School
