Journey in Motherhood: January 2013

http://journeyinmotherhood.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html

A diary of sorts to share my days as a mother. Monday, January 14, 2013. I will come to you. I mentioned about a car breakdown in my previous post while on my way to my cousin's wedding rehearsal. The good thing about it is, I was parked outside the Mater Hospital at a roadside carpark. The downside? 5 words. “I will come to you”. So simple, yet it meant so much. We don't have to go looking for Him. He is here. He is with us. All we need to do is ask for Jesus to come and help, to start mendi...I'd be st...

Journey in Motherhood: July 2013

http://journeyinmotherhood.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html

A diary of sorts to share my days as a mother. Monday, July 29, 2013. Was at church yesterday and had quite a few people ask how I am. When the third person asked me that question, I seriously thought about it. I don't know about you, but ever since I became a mum, I've had difficulties answering that question. Every time someone asks, "How are you? I would answer, "Very well! Or " I'm fine, thank you! But today, to the third person who asked me, I told him that that was a million dollar question. So, ne...

Journey in Motherhood: Speech Development

http://journeyinmotherhood.blogspot.com/2013/09/speech-development.html

A diary of sorts to share my days as a mother. Wednesday, September 25, 2013. About 4 months ago when my youngest turned 2y.o., I called up a speech pathologist friend. I spoke to her about my child's speech development. Well, more like lack of development. We speak Mandarin at home, she is exposed to and understands English through playgroup and church activities, and we use Auslan as much as we can. When I heard that, my first thought was, "Of course! Record, record, record! Why didn't I think of that?

Journey in Motherhood: December 2012

http://journeyinmotherhood.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html

A diary of sorts to share my days as a mother. Wednesday, December 5, 2012. There's always a first in everything. Physiotherapy with the electric pads didn't work. They made it worse. I went to my chiropractor and that helped to loosen the muscles somewhat. Decided to go for a deep tissue massage and the most available one was a chinese massager and I went in for 20 minutes. What a wonderful 20 minutes! Had a quick run through with the other flower girl and she was OK! I did promise her a surprise though.

Journey in Motherhood: February 2014

http://journeyinmotherhood.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html

A diary of sorts to share my days as a mother. Wednesday, February 12, 2014. Mummy, why does it rain? Ever had one of those simple yet difficult to answer questions from your children? I was caught off guard by this one some time back when it rained for a few days. My 6 year old asked me this while we were out for a walk. She saw the dark clouds in the sky and asked, "Mummy, why does it rain when the clouds are dark? A dozen thoughts flashed through my mind : How do I explain the water cycle? FINAL ONE W...

Journey in Motherhood: October 2013

http://journeyinmotherhood.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html

A diary of sorts to share my days as a mother. Wednesday, October 2, 2013. Mummy, I have a wobbly tooth! My 5yo. yelled out excitedly from the bathroom. This was early in the year when my 5 y.o. had her first wobbly tooth. She had seen many others with wobbly teeth before her and was looking forward to hers. Will the tooth fairy come? I laughed. "There's no tooth fairy! But why do my friends say that the tooth fairy will leave them money? Oh, but I want some money for my tooth," she said. A MOPS and a WA...

Journey in Motherhood: August 2012

http://journeyinmotherhood.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html

A diary of sorts to share my days as a mother. Wednesday, August 22, 2012. Ever since Miss 4 went to childcare, she's had a lot more exposure and opportunities to sing, read, write and learn about the English language. Over the last 1.5 yrs, her English vocabulary has increased by leaps and bounds, which led me to believe that it is not necessary to teach my children English as they can pick it up very quickly when with peers.

Journey in Motherhood: Road trips overseas

http://journeyinmotherhood.blogspot.com/2013/09/road-trips-overseas.html

A diary of sorts to share my days as a mother. Friday, September 20, 2013. A few weeks ago I went to Malaysia and Singapore with my family. One thing we noticed before we left, was the use of car seats. There were no regulations that require tourists to use car seats for children. In Malaysia, car seats were not required even for the locals. In Singapore however, the locals need car seats for their children. Tourists exempted. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Journey in Motherhood: Coping with illnesses

http://journeyinmotherhood.blogspot.com/2013/08/coping-with-illnesses.html

A diary of sorts to share my days as a mother. Monday, August 12, 2013. Illnesses are something mums don't like to deal with. Children are extra cranky and clingy. Mums are worn thinner than ever before. We had a series of illness in our household the last couple of weeks. Then it was the older sister who had flu. Then we all had head lice. It was constant washing, washing, washing. Keep the toys clean. Keep your fingers clean. Keep the furniture clean. Hand foot mouth disease. A MOPS and a WAHM who like...

Journey in Motherhood: Sprained ankle and aching body

http://journeyinmotherhood.blogspot.com/2013/08/sprained-ankle-and-aching-body.html

A diary of sorts to share my days as a mother. Friday, August 2, 2013. Sprained ankle and aching body. On Wednesday, I thought I should get going in learning how to ride my huge bicycle which my husband bought 2 years ago. I can ride a bicycle, but not those with high seats. Are they called mountain bikes? Anyway, I'm just a normal person, trying to learn to use something new with pre-existing skills. Thank God it was grass that I hit. I was able to walk, but woke up in the morning feeling strained.
