It was one of those life changing moments. Those that you never see coming and then – WHAM! – your life changes forever. A few weeks ago, I recieve a note from my son’s school saying that they will be putting him and his cohort through a 3-day Adam Khoo’s motivation and study workshop, SuperKids. [...]

Dear husband and I visited a garden last weekend to shop for herbs that I use frequently in my cooking. All the plants were clearly labeled with care instructions – frequency of watering, how much sun and most importantly, different types of fertilizers. I commented that they must have tested each type of fertilizer to [...]
http://www.mummysg.com/forums/f97/being-special-parenting-child-medical-conditions-15948/ I stumbled upon this forum when I was surfing. As I read the many posts, tears ran down my face. It did not help matters when I found out this morning that a girl friend lost her baby at 4.5 months. How I have taken my kids for granted! How I have squandered the [...]
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 [...]

As the littlest one was getting better, my dear husband was taking him for a ride this morning while sending my eldest to school. As everyone was getting dressed, number 4 (I used to think using numbers was appalling but then turned out it was just easier this way) was excited and took out his [...]
Ever had a sick kid at home? Since I have 4 kids, my chances of getting that regularly is probably higher than the normal household. In Singapore, it is very uncommon to have 4 kids in one household. Most families only have 2 or perhaps 3. More couples are opting to only have 1 child [...]
“No,” I said to my daughter, “I’m sorry but I can’t.”. She had requested to do a family activity before bedtime. Now to put things into perspective, the regular bedtime in my household is 9pm for the kids. It was 9.30pm when she asked. The late bedtime is due to the fact that the family [...]
