It is all about choices, isn’t it? Life is made up of choices that we all have to make. To marry or not, to marry this person or that, to have kids or not, to have 2 kids or 4, to work or stay home, to trust or not, to love or not – these [...]
“Said Aristotle unto Plato,
‘Have another sweet potato?’
Said Plato unto Aristotle,
‘Thank you, I prefer the bottle.’”
Owen Wister (1860-1938) American novelist

If you read my last post, you will see that I listed out the ways that I found work for me as a working mother – Juggling Work and Family.
What I did not explain was why I wrote my last post. Although it was a challenge from dear husband to list the ways I cope [...]
“How do you manage?”
I get asked that question a lot. My cheeky answer is always,”I don’t. I struggle.” While that gets lots of laughs and knowing grins, working mothers do REALLY want to know how to manage better.
After much trial and error, I finally have a method to all the madness, juggling a full time [...]

Did your kids’ [...]

This week is unusual for us. Both dear husband and I are travelling on business, and will be in different countries; him in Tokyo and I will be in Kuala Lumpur. I cannot remember the last time this happened. And of course, our lovely children will be in Singapore.

“There is never enough time to do everything, but there is always enough time to do the most important thing.” – Brian Tracy
