Habits for a Happy Marriage

February 10, 2017

Some time last week, Wayne and I were on our way home in the car and we were talking about the importance of setting a morning routine. Well, I was talking about the morning routine. He was going, “yeah, ok, sounds good.” It’s the start of the year and the start of a new month so I was super excited about all the positive ...

Family Dental Visits at Pure NZ Dental

January 22, 2017

This year, I made a promise to myself that I will pay more attention to my teeth, both in terms of aesthetics and oral hygiene. So to start the ball rolling, I scheduled for our first family dental visit of 2017 right at the start of the year. Previously, I’ve never had a regular dental clinic that I return to and I usually ...

January 10, 2017

Happy 2017!! Alright, I know it’s already the third week of Jan 2017 and it seems kind of late to do a review post for 2016 but I know I’ll thank myself for doing this when I need to look back at it for some motivation and encouragement. I hope you’ll join me as I look back at my year of 2016. The year I decided to pursue my ...

All-star Nick Jr. Christmas at City Square Mall

December 9, 2016

It’s the time of the year where the malls are bringing in the children’s favorite characters for some holiday fun and entertainment! We were at City Square Mall in September for PAW Patrol’s first ‘live’ show in Asia and Laurent was so awed by the whole experience, he was still talking about it a few months later! We knew we ...

Shopping for Shoes at The Elly Store

December 2, 2016

Laurent is currently at the stage of toddlerhood where he wants a say in the shoes that he wears. He isn’t picky when it comes to clothes, so yay to mummy because I still get free reign on how to dress him. But he is very particular when it comes to the shoes that he wears. When Stacy from The Elly Store asked if we would be ...

October 26, 2016

I’m back on the annual Day In A Life (DIAL) blog train hosted by Justina of Mum in the Making.

Why I Love Shopping at PriviKids Store @ Waterway Point

October 24, 2016

With the internet, Instagram and Paypal, it has become so convenient to shop online, especially for kids clothing. But, call me old school if you will, I still very much enjoy shopping for Laurent’s clothes at physical stores because to me, shopping isn’t an item to clear off the to-do list. I see it as an experience to be enjoyed, ...

ASTALIFT Skincare Series

October 19, 2016

The joy, excitement and bliss of motherhood aside, there’s no denying that the lack of proper rest and self care that came with being a mama could take a toil on our skin. I have long coveted the beautiful, natural glow seen on Korean artistes because their skin always look plump, fresh and healthy even without the need of heavy make-up. ...

Every Tantrum is a Chance to Learn

September 24, 2016

Laurent is currently in his Terrible Twos stage and honestly, we get some sort of a tantrum or melt-down almost everyday. Some days just warrant a little ticking off and other days time-off at the naughty corner. Then there are those days where the tantrum or meltdown is so serious, I could feel the very last bit of patience and tenderness ...

[Review] 5 Things I Love About Olympus PEN-F

September 20, 2016

I have had my Olympus E-PL 6 for slightly more than 2 years now. It was my first micro 4/3 camera and it has seen me through some memorable milestones. It captured the various stages of my pregnancy, our house moving, numerous events that I attended, uncountable OOTDs of Laurent, and most recently, his 2nd birthday. It has been a great ...
