Just stop and Breath

-

Early riser today; body clock just couldn't sleep anymore. Decided to be up earlier to enjoy the precious 1 full hour of quiet time all by myself. With soft calming music from my diffuser, I would love for this to set the scene for the day. Ain't gonna be greedy and wish this for many days ahead,  just for today as a start.

The fresh air in the morning is just awesome.  Clean, crisp and light. Just the way life ought to be, right?

The peace and pin drop silence is oh... so precious amd soothing. So perhaps it is right to set the mantra of the day "Just stop and breath". How often do we actually do this when we know it can easily be accomplished?

So my little nudge to you out there today, why not just stop and breath anytime today, amid all the craziness that will pop up unexpectedly?

An awesome day ahead peeps!!

2019 and start of a New School Journey

-

2018 came and went with some fun fare and huddles for learning and memories. 2019 started fast and furious because I now have 2 school-going kids! Today is Day 2 of school and it was rush rush rush. Wonder how long it's gonna take to get into routine. Big K eased into Pri 2 easily as expected. But that doesn't mean this lad doesn't have his own struggles and insecurities. Pri 1 has been a great learning journey for him and he has grown so much, despite his tyrant behaviour on most days. How I wish I have octupos arms and hug this boy tight and hard and assure we can walk through the journey together confidently. I have to work harder at this, definitely. Lil K... Well he too eased into Pri 1 easily and confidently (such a surprise cos I hadn't had time to prep him well for this big new journey of his). Towards end of school yesterday at 12.30pm, he thought it was time to go home and took his bag and walked out of class. He still thought it was like childcare days whe...

Experienced my first-ever March Holidays

-

Experiencing my first march holidays as a mum was an interesting experience. Interesting because I had embraced it as well as dread it. With 2 boys in tow, and with #2 constantly comparing with his brother, I had decided to let #2 take a 2-day break from childcare and join his brother at a 2-day Arts Camp with Artify Studio (their reg Sat art school). And so, the one-week holiday schedule for #1 went like this: Mon: Chill at home Tues: 2-hour Travel Light workshop at The Therapy Room (mainly to have him meet new friends and sorta throw him into a new environment all by himself) Wed & Thurs: 2-day Art Camp + visit ilight@Marina Bay Fri - Sun: Chill at home and get ready to return to school While it seemed rather harmless and bearable, it was tiring for me. While #1 was at the 2-hour workshop on Tues, the poor mum had to wander around Orchard Road to will my time, yet trying my hardest to control and not make impulse buys.... Definitely drank more coffee than I should...

Black vs White Muffins (Double Choc vs Oreo)

-

Baked a batch of Double Choc and Oreo Muffins for Big K's class picnic (19 Oct 17). Hadn't baked so many muffins in a day; it is tiring. While it's tiring, it is heartening to see the big bright happy face as well as reviews from colleauges.  Am not a great baker, I can only manage a few simple recipes and bakes such as chiffon cakes, sponge cakes, muffins and super limited cookies. So long as the 'customers' (aka kids, family, friends, colleagues) enjoy my bakes, I am happy. ☆modernmumbaker☆
