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. Of course it was nothing like the Duchess of Camrbidge’s, the so called HyperemesisContinue reading
Same as most Aussies, I love the outdoors. I wouldn’t trade spending time getting fresh air in my garden with anything. Matthew has shown me various times he loves the outdoors just as much, enjoying getting his hands dirty helping me with the soil and planting. Knowing how beneficial soil can be, with its harmlessContinue reading
It’s in human nature to want some change of scenery every now and then, and with all the work we get to do it’s a necessity to get the well-deserved holiday, and recharge the energy all the work-related stress drained. It’s easier said than done, however, when you’re stuck in a work rut, and youContinue reading

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
Even if we don’t exactly think we have any memories that far back from our childhood days, we do – at least foggy ones, as in my case. The first one I can remember has to do with falling off my bike, and my grandparents rushing out to see whether I’m bleeding. I did haveContinue reading
I’m really enjoying motherhood. I must admit the role of a mother isn’t easy, but you get to evolve in ways you never even saw coming. It’s needless to say you turn protective 24/7, but if there’s one thing I didn’t enjoy about it was the fear I was turning into a person with OCDContinue reading
