On one cold, rainy afternoon, Dot did not have any long pants at grandma’s place. Thinking how to keep her little legs warm – why not wear mommy’s t-shirt over her clothes!
Our family of three jogging weekly. We hope that by including Dot in our weekly exercise, she will grow to love exercising and makes this part of her life as she grows up. There are many health benefits associated with physical exercise and do you know that exercise can also keep us young? It’s still...
We are people of habits – young and old alike. Naturally, we are inclined to do something whether it is beneficial or detrimental because knowingly or unknowingly habits are weaved into our lives. Whether we intentionally train our children habits or not, they will still form habits which will determine their success in life. Sow an...
Recently, I read “Smooth and easy days with Charlotte Mason“, a free e-book written by Sonya Shafer and I was encouraged to do more to help my girl develops good habits in her life that may last a lifetime. Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they...
Every time Dot watches Baby Signing Time, there is this part in the show where toddlers do hand painting – which Dot calls “Tiny Hands”. For several months, she has been bugging me to get her paint to do hand painting. Her wish has been granted recently by her aunt. Her beloved aunt bought her...
We had a little home-made Science project one morning. Our humidifier went kaput one day and it was left outside our room for a couple a days before I told J to throw it away. J decided to dismantle it and see whether his hands can breath life into the dead humidifier. Conclusion after working...
Dot loves to watch us cook – from the preparation of the ingredients to the actual cooking of the food. She gets to watch the step-by-step process of preparing a dish. When she is at grandparents’ house, she always asks to be carried to watch how grandma cuts the vegetables, meat, fruits and how she...
Childhood, so pure and innocent, passes by so fast – such beautiful memories ought to be captured cos’ they are so precious! I was flipping through my old childhood photo albums and they brought back beautiful childhood memories. I told Dot that I used to be a baby and toddler just like her. Pointing at...
Every time during Christmas, “We are the Reason” by Avalon always comes to my mind – a beautiful song that never fails to touch my heart. Still love this song. As little children we would dream of Christmas morning Of all the gifts and toys we knew we’d find But we never realized a baby...
I received a free sample of Magic Choc, a play-doh like chocolate which you can create with your hands and your imagination. It is available at Cold Storage, $12 each. I love creative stuff but Dot is still too young to play on her own so I played together with her instead. We washed our...
We were away over the weekend to attend Nuffnang Asia Pacific Blog Awards 2011 at Marriott Putrajaya. We took a 4-hour (one way) coach to and fro Singapore and Putrajaya with one only stop in between. Dot was relatively good on the coach – not much crying and fussing. It made the journey easy for...
I came to know about Gospel For Asia (GFA) when I read “Revolution in World Missions“. I was touched by how God uses GFA to be a blessing to the poorest of the poor. I love what GFA is doing and I am glad that 100% of what we give goes to the field for...
