Even before the kids came along, the hubs and I had decided that when the time comes, we will eventually be going down the homeschooling route. Education has always been…
Yesterday, Miss 20mo worked on a special tape-resist art project that will be a 60th birthday gift for one of her favourite people in the world. First up, I prepped the…
Can I be the first to admit that a dawdling toddler tests my patience the most!! Much more than a playroom that gets messed up ten thousand times a day….
It’s been quite some time since I shared what’s currently on our playshelf and the setup has changed slightly. While both kids are down for a nap at the same…
This is a staged photo. I set this up to tell you a story about a play that lasted all of two minutes. So a couple of days ago,…
Big sis self-weaned a while ago and we stopped breastfeeding for perhaps two weeks or slightly more. But just before little sis’ arrival, she started to cry uncontrollably around 5ish…
Thought I’d share what’s currently on our playshelf since I have not done one in a while. Miss 16mo has been showing a massive interest in pointing out and naming…

A beautiful morning of chalk drawing, light and shadows in our backyard. Miss S (14mo) has recently begun stacking blocks as opposed to just deconstructing them. This structure here was…
This is the first and probably only photo that I have breastfeeding my firstborn. When we first realised we were pregnant with bubs 2, I began planning how I would…

Tidying and resetting Miss 13mo’s play area while she’s having a nap so I thought I’d show you guys a snapshot of what it looks like. We haven’t got…
We are currently on holidays in Singapore. Yesterday we brought Miss 12mo to the Singapore Zoo where she also had some fun at the water play area. It was an…
