Getting your lifestyle shaped by organic choices isn’t as easy as I thought it would be, but it doesn’t mean it’s not worth a try. Unlike what most people think, it’s not just about opting to eat organic, it goes way beyond the food choices. Want to know the best part of it? I getContinue reading
In the midst of the love-and-stress-induced daze of raising two boys back-to-back, I managed to get back to reality just long enough to realize how much I dislike our bathroom. Compared with the clean, streamlined design of the rest of the rooms, the bathroom looked like it came from another house. The tiles with theContinue reading
Over the years I’ve managed to become quite the furniture snob (spending too much time hearing about Jade’s design projects will do that to you). But not the snob you’d normally think – instead of trendy designer pieces, I always look for furniture that’s practical and comfortable with a dash of timeless style for goodContinue reading
Ah, pregnancy, the blissful period of a woman. When I first found out about my pregnancy, a long period of excitement followed, with lots of thoughts on names, baby clothing and nursery furniture, that is, until the morning sickness kicked in.

I find it interesting how parents, regardless whether they’ve just gotten into the parenting stream, or have years of experience already, are so readily prepared to judge other parents who do parenting different from them. One of the reasons I have gotten the raised eyebrow from other mums over the years is the fact IContinue reading
When you become a parent, you’re filled up with excitement every step of the way. That’s something you see since the day you find out you’re expecting. Yes, excitement even through the times of changing stinky diapers, and wiping out vomits; you know there’s a little someone fully depending on you, loving you unconditionally. WhatContinue reading
I consider the role of a parent a great blessing. Ever since I can remember playing house, it was my dream to become a mum, imagining what my kids would look like, and the names I’d give them. Now that I am living my dream, I can say it’s more than exciting, and better thatContinue reading
